Survey: What is the Greatest American Song?

Kid Rock... Does not appear in the bracket
This last fourth of July, I got to thinking: what would happen if you took sixty-four great American songs by sixty-four great American artists, put 'em in an NCAA-style bracket, and had them duke it out for the title of the absolute greatest cut our magical country has ever produced?

(This is seriously the shit I think about.)

We're about to find out!  In this survey to find "The Greatest American Song," I've gathered iconic hits (and some misses) from across more than six decades of American music.  I've plumbed every major genre, from early rock and roll to gangsta rap, from 60's soul stompers to 90's country killers, to produce a list of songs that I think provides a fairly accurate representation of "modern American popular music."  I've created a bracket on a weird site called Challonge.com to track the tournament, and surveys on Surveymonkey to determine who gets ahead.  The rest... Is up to you.

Follow the links below to take the surveys and help put your favorite American song in the second round!  Remember: it's your duty as an American citizen to vote!

Have fun!
