We’re down to our last thirty-two songs! But only one can win, of course. We’re quickly vaulting towards the end of March, and the end of the tournament itself. Since we’ve hit the third round, we’ve also introduced the loser’s bracket, where all the songs that were eliminated these past couple rounds will have one last shot to stand tall! Who will win? Well, that’s up to you!

Pearl Jam’s Alive def. The Who’s Pinball Wizard (173-124)

Smashing Pumpkins’ Today def. AFI’s Girls Not Grey (178-113)

Judas Priest’s Painkiller def. Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger (164-129)

Billy Idol’s White Wedding (Part 1) def. Guns N’ Roses’ Shackler’s Revenge (238-51)

Nirvana’s Drain You def. Testament’s Souls of Black (184-74)

Dinosaur Jr.’s Feel the Pain def. Bang Camaro’s Night Lies (142-114)

Now, let’s see what today’s match-ups bring.

Our first match pits two of the all time great female fronted groups with Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way taking on Go-Go’s We Got the Beat!

After that, we have hair metal legends taking on emo superstars as RATT’s Round and Round faces Jimmy Eat World’s The Middle!

Then, we have two songs that were favoured to win clashing when Talking Heads’ Psycho Killer battles Metallica’s Battery!

Finally, we have a great battle of new vs. old with Panic at the Disco’s Nine in the Afternoon going head to head with Bad Company’s Shooting Star!

In addition to those matches, we also have the loser’s bracket. Let’s take a look at what’s on tap there.

First up, we have two of my personal favourites from Rock Band 2 as L7’s Pretend We’re Dead faces Lacuna Coil’s Our Truth!

Then, we have two songs that put up very impressive showings and were ultimately victims of poor match-ups. It’s Jethro Tull’s Aqualung vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Give It Away!

After that, we have two songs that have potential to be big sleeper hits in this tournament with The Muffs’ Kids in America taking on Mastodon’s Colony of Birchmen!

The next match is a pair of under-appreciated greats with The Replacements’ Alex Chilton taking on Breaking Wheel’s Shoulder to the Plow!

Finally, we have a super easy hip-hop classic taking on a super hard prog great with Beastie Boys’ So What’cha Want going head to head with Dream Theater’s Panic Attack!
