I'm voting against the seeding on this one. Culture Club were Ok. Boy George carried them and they were good enough musically. The thing is, the Boss is a music icon. His influence wins this. Remember one of the U2 albums I mentioned, The Joshua Tree? Springsteen influenced. Born in the USA had 7 tracks (how many bands manage that now) reach the Top 10.

Culture Club...Karma Chameleon and Do You Really Want to Hurt Me...decent songs, but not as influential as Bruce Springsteen

Too true.

The Boss is an absolute Icon.
I don't think I can say more.

I also would like to challenge the seeding on this one. With that said I gotta go with The Boss. Not only is he one of my favorites of this era he is in my top 15 all time. With hits such as Badlands, Born to Run, Born In The USA, and the very poignant Devils and Dust he should have this round won. Now Im not saying that Culture Club is not a good band because they are. Its just IMO they dont stand a chance when they are up against Springsteen.

Yeah, this is one of those situations where I got the seeding wrong. Should probably be the other way around. I hope it wasn't my disdain for "The Boss" that effected his spot, but he should have been far higher. I probably missed his name at first and then was too tired to redo everything, so I stuck him in there.

But, as usual, you are all doing a fine job of making sure it gets corrected. Since the brackets are set, the seeding makes little different at this point, anyway.
