Grantland has a bracket out with the first round of voting up.

It prompted me to put together my top 64, which I will post ITT later today in #arroganttownietalk fashion..

I do like Grantland's bracket though. Pretty great picks through and through. Mine will be admittedly more obscure hipster nonsense.

Intriguing 5-12 matchup in the 2008-2010 bracket.

And lol @ red solo cup inclusion.

 

[leftcoastdeac]

This is lol awesome.

 

[BarcaDeac]

No Seven Nation Army?

 

[Deacfreak07]

Without looking at the bracket, Call Me Maybe should win a walk.

Countdown til somebody makes a comment about how bad music is since the 70s.

 

[deaconson]

i had to vote for the taylor swift never getting back together song because of the anti bzz video.

 

[dot com]

Only two JT songs? And my boy has to fight his ex in one?

 

[DeaconBrews]

I did not expect that to be your #1 townie, good choice

 

[94Deac]

I barely recognize half those fucking bands or people. Emindrekanye? What the hell is that?

Music has been shit since the 70's.

We Found Love is kind of an awesome song. Its one of those that gets better over time.

I can't believe I'm defending a Rihanna song. And I like Eric Church.
