We have a champion, and an unexpected one, as well...

 

Congratulations Cheap Trick!!  

Beating "Starry Eyes", "September Gurls" and "No Matter What" in successive rounds is quite a feat!

 

Badfinger had a great run.  They had two songs in the final eight and "No Matter What" had an early lead in the finals, until a late Cheap Trick surge.

 

There was a bit of controversy surrounding this final poll. The original poll had been compromised by voter "irregularities". We re-opened the poll and Tuesday's voting results put "Surrender" over the top. 

 

All-in-all, 17,517 votes were cast in this tournament.  I had a blast putting it together and I hope you had just as much fun participating.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote!!
