I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
You thought that you could forget
And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror
On a long drive from the back seat...

I think upsets will be more common from here on, because in the first round much of the bottom 32 was made up of the highest rated artists from states without many high rated artits.

4. Prince (Minnesota)

13. Talking Heads (New York)

12. Miles Davis (Illinois)

Prince - I wanted to vote for Coltrane, but Prince is just too good
Sly and the Family Stone - It hurts to vote for a Cali band over a NY one, but Sly is one of my favorites
Beastie Boys - Coltrane would have had this one
Hendrix - Easy choice
