    The strongest bracket is C and the weakest is A. How Elvis Costello only squeaked by Talk, Talk is alarming! I was also scared that Billy Idol even got a vote!

    Go Undertones!

    I think the strongest bracket is D. Psycho Killer! I still do the Once in a Lifetime "same as it ever was" arm chop dance. It's pretty great.
