I did it but the captcha thing after almost every vote sucks.

One captcha should have been enough.

Hoping for Come on Eileen or Der Kommissar.

Yeah, the captcha thing is bogus - the pictures are blurry but I guess I got them right

Oh snap, that was a checkbox when I created it. I wonder if I can go back and turn it off somehow... Didn't realize it popped up for every vote! That does suck.

Hmmm - I think we're stuck with the Captcha fiasco. After the first round I'll recreate the brackets with the winners and turn off that setting. We'll only need to suffer through this first round. Sorry!

I'll be happy with any winner but one. I really love almost all these tunes, but there is one song on that list that I can't stand, but I won't share which one until it loses! Or is it looses? Hahaha Fudd!

SvD, I voted! I'm into rock and metal but I do like plenty of pop and new wave. Music: the spice of life!

All good we’ll live.

SvD, in light of the captcha thing why not do your poll here? I'm sure the regulars will participate!

[Brett]

People are voting over there. I think it’s OK.

[Sam Vs. Dave]

Ha, I hope so! Regardless, I used the Contact Us feature and I think they'll turn off the Captcha for me.

It's very important! Haha...
