Entrants for the Greatest Drinking Song Tournament!
These are your immortals.
The 64 greatest drinking songs of all-time selected by you, perfected by us. There are a few we had to add to fill out the field, but we find it hard to believe you’ll gripe too heavily over our selections.
We went ahead and seeded these songs based upon a myriad number of factors, including the number of times a song was put up for vote and general consensus in pop lore. We took our “added” songs and shoved them in at the bottom of the bracket. We like to think we cater to our readers.
So, without further adieu, here are your first round matchups in the Greatest Drinking Song of All-Time Tournament. Feel free to let us have it in the comments.
