BNIT: Week 1 Results

Here we go with the first BNIT results:

Bracket A
1. THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, “HEROIN” (55 points / 11 first-place votes)
48. U2, “Pride (In the Name of Love)” (46 / 4)
24. Red Hot Chili Peppers, “Under the Bridge” (35 / 1)
25. Link Wray, “Rumble” (24 / 0)

VU over U2.

Bracket B
32. THE WAILERS, “GET UP, STAND UP” (47 / 6)
8. Muddy Waters, “Mannish Boy” (45 / 4)
41. Roy Orbison, “Crying” (36 / 4)
17. Hank Williams, “Your Cheatin’ Heart” (32 / 2)

Bob & co. fell this week over in the big tourney, but don’t give up the fight in the BNIT.

Bracket C
33. THE WHITE STRIPES, “FELL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL” (50 / 8)
16. Marvin Gaye, “Let’s Get It On” (47 / 5)
40. Elton John, “Your Song” (35 / 1)
9. Stardust, “Music Sounds Better With You” (28 / 2)

A good week for Jack White, with a bouncing new baby and a win in this bracket (though he’ll probably never find out about this one).

Bracket D
21. BOB DYLAN, “TANGLED UP IN BLUE” (55 / 9)
4. U2, “Sunday Bloody Sunday” (48 / 5)
28. Madonna, “Ray of Light” (33 / 1)
45. The Shangri-La’s, “Leader of the Pack” (24 / 1)

…and a win for another Bob. U2 gets skunked out of the BNIT.

Harold W. and Mo got all of ‘em.

It’s looking like we’re going to have more upsets here than in the main tournament, which isn’t surprising since the songs’ rankings are actually not that far apart. Cool.
