March Madness: THE FINAL

The Final Four Results:
Little Red Corvette 12-4 over Mountains
She's Always in My Hair 9-7 over The Beautiful Ones

Mountains had dominated the entire competition, but was never in the game against Prince's sex/drive classic. And the #16 seed continues to prove that it only fell there because of the crowded field on The B-Sides collection, as She's Always in My Hair knocked off its second #1 seed in what was threatening to be another tie until the last two votes came in.

So, the final matchup gives us a chart-topping single smash/MTV sensation v. a classic, beloved B-side from Prince's most fertile creative period. Which one truly deserves the title?

One more time, y'all.

Because you are a rugged iconoclast with a strong individualistic streak? cool

For what it's worth, I'm surprised She's Always In My Hair made it this far...not sure I've backed it in any round so far, I'd have to go back and check. My vote's for Little Red Corvette, but it seems like that's worth a fart in a high wind right now.

Hear hear, thats democracy 4 u, I don't even like shes always in my hair, that jangly synthesiser song gets on my nerves. LRC is soft core porn at its best.
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

By the margin of 10-4, the Org has named "She's Always in My Hair" as Prince's greatest song. Democracy in action, but as we all know, our tastes can vary wildly from day to day. If this could be done again, I could almost guarantee we'd see different results...and maybe we try again next year.

Thanks to all who got in and participated, especially those of you who helped with the selection portion. I know it was a lot to dig through, but I think we got a pretty strong field, all in all.
