It’s that time of year again! For those who don’t remember, last year we held a Rock Band March Madness tournament where you guys voted on the Rock Band setlist in an effort to determine what the best song in Rock Band was. We’re bringing it back this year, but since we looked at Rock Band last year, this year we’re moving forward and talking a look at Rock Band 2!

A quick note about the bracket. I’m using Challonge to make the bracket happen, and because of the number of songs in Rock Band 2’s setlist, it had to generate a bunch of byes. 44 to be exact. That means that there are a bunch of matchups already in place that won’t be taking place until Round 2, and all the winners from this round will be moving on to face songs that haven’t had match-ups yet. Because of this, in the interest of fairness, the Loser’s Bracket will be made up of the songs that lost in Round 1 AND Round 2.

Before we take a look at today’s match-ups, let’s look at yesterday’s winners:

Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way def. Bob Dylan’s Tangled Up in Blue (435-75)

RATT’s Round and Round def. Dinosaur Jr.’s Feel the Pain (330-174)

Jimmy Eat World’s The Middle def. Speck’s Conventional Lover (421-87)

Talking Heads’ Psycho Killer def. Interpol’s PDA (310-186)

Panic at the Disco – Nine in the Afternoon def. Abnormality’s Visions (415-85)

Now, let’s take a look at what you can vote for today!

Our first match pits new wave icons Blondie’s One Way or Another against alternative metal greats Rage Against the Machine’s Testify!

Next up, we have two community favourite artists facing off as Foo Fighter’s Everlong meets Steve Miller Band’s Rock’n Me!

Then, we have a metal classic matching up with a grunge classic as System of a Down’s Chop Suey takes on Nirvana’s Drain You!

After that, we have two great Y2K-era alternative rock tracks clashing as The Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ Where’d You Go? battles Linkin Park’s One Step Closer!

Finally, it’s two of the most influential artists in their respective genres as Devo’s Uncontrollable Urge faces off against Beastie Boys’ So What’cha Want!

This is the final set of match-ups for Round 1. They’ll be open for 24 hours, at which point we’ll bring you a recap of everything that’s happened this round!
