Everyone can vote for these playoff match-ups (even if you didn't participate in the draft). Don't be shy!

Feel free to back-up your rationale here.

If I were picking my personal preference top fives from these lists:

1. Chubbs:
5.03 - With a Little Help From My Friends - Joe Cocker (1968)
19.03 - Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies (1988)
13.03 - Stairway to Heaven - Heart (2012)
8.14 - Knockin on Heaven's Door - Guns N Roses (1991)
20.14 - The Seeker - Rush (2004)

3. Jespher:
3.04 - Hotel California - Gipsy Kings (1988)
15.04 - Immigrant Song - Trent Rezner, Karen O, and Atticus Ross (2011)
2.13 - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - Marilyn Manson (1995)
1.04 - The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana (1993)
6.13 - When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin (1971)

But I won't vote based on these...just having some fun. Interesting that only three of my ten made the actual lists, though I don't begrudge most of those especially for the purposes of broad appeal (excepting Jolene...never liked that song).

I thought about Sweet Jane, Heavens Door, and With a little Help from My Friends.

Decided to go with less mainstreamy stuff, well other than Stairway.

My personal favorites would be slightly different. And yes I would have included The Seeker.

But anyway, just for fun I guess.

It's gonna end up another tie, all because the Capt. isn't voting. :p It was probably a mistake to make the tie-breaker voting public.

Wait a minute... you ran the draft, and then you won?!? I smell something rotten here!

Just kidding. Nice lists, guys! I know I didn't manage to make my mind up on the final vote. But by effectively giving one-half point to each of you, I guess the outcome didn't change!
