No one used that term, "it rocks," until the mid '70s. Dock him a point.



Better yet, dock him a hat.

That's gotta hurt.


Not at all. I've got TOOMANY!

Ok, Round 1 is up!

You will have 5 days to vote on the matches.

**Please remember, if you don't see your song here in the matches your bye is in the first round. Everybody will have a bye week during the group stage.

Happy listening!

A stellar first round. Some familiar classics and some new discoveries. And unusually, but not surprisingly, very few clunkers. Long live Rock and Roll!

Agreed. There's some serious "that's not rock n roll" commenting going on. My selection is fecked.

But I knew that.
