So doone PM'd me and reminded me I was gonna run a tournament before I left a while ago. So now that LMS's 007 tournament is over, we're not having March Madness this year, and everyone is in quarantine, it seems like the perfect time to begin:
I will be using this list for songs:
https://www.billboard.com/articles/news ... songs-list
I had previously considered using the Rolling Stone Top 500, but I think there are too many spoilers in there (read: it has grunge songs). Also, I think this list is the perfect follow-up to my Nu Metal tournament, since many of these songs will be passionately hated by most RMers. But not all of them!
I'm planning on posting the first matchups on Monday, with matchups running from Monday morning through Tuesday night, then Tuesday night through Thursday night, then Thursday night through Sunday night.
