I'm American (for what it's worth) and Rush is my favorite band (Hip's #2). I'm a hockey fan, too, so maybe I should've been Canadian. Anyway, I think the reason that mellow songs are winning is because this early in the tourney the mellow songs are just better. The rules say to pay attention to the lyrics, and I think that's where the winners are being decided. For how good a song Fight is, you have to admit the lyrics to Fiddler's Green have a lot more meaning because of how personal they are to Gord's life.

Just my 2 cents.

EDIT - I looked at the refreshed bracket image and the mellow vs. rocker stats seem about even. Daredevil beat Flamenco, Family Band beat Sharks, Cordelia beat Morning Moon, etc.
