I would totally get on board with this and I like it better than nearly every winner, but I don't think it's a board favorite nowadays.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

yeah, I'm not going to create a new thread each round this time. There is a new match every day (except weekends where they stay open the whole weekend). That way the conversations about the albums won't get interrupted

just be sure to check how many songs you should be eliminating, since that will start to change soon

If it helps, it appears as though your votes don't get counted if you fuck up.

I don't like this way of doing things. After a few songs disappear, I find it hard to vote against Pearl Jam songs that I enjoy.

I would rather do a two hour Rock Around Barack marathon instead of a twenty minute Sweet Lew one.

Just never had any love for Sweet Lew. Of the album songs (incl. Lost Dogs) it might be the worst ever. Don't like Rock Around Barack either.

Have you ever heard the demo version? I thought the composition of the song shined through more on that one and I appreciated the song more after listening to it.
