Pretty clearly the best OHW of all time. I still really liked THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON TV too.

I really enjoyed the format of this. It looks like a-ha might have won no matter what, but it is interesting to speculate about how the elite eight would have looked with just a few subtle tweaks to the seeding. It made it a much more interesting experience than just "vote for your favorite from this list."

This has been one of the most fun tournaments we've had here in a while. Thanks for running this, Breeze.

Agreed! The whole endeavor from the initial countdown to the tournament has been a joy. I’ve even started to make a Spotify playlist based on the rankings. Great stuff!
