March Madness 2021: Finals! Voting ends 8PM 4/13

[Anders]

The round is closed. And while Last Exit demolished two time reigning champion Go (and Last Exit was itself the last prior champion to Go), Corduroy squeaks past Hail Hail by one vote to meet Last Exit in our all Dave A, all Vitalogy finals.

Fairly poor final.

[stip]

It's not surprising, but two absolutely worthy songs.

[stip]

First final in a while where I don't think at least one of the songs are overrated

[Anders]

Can't agree about Last Exit. At least Corduroy is a stone cold classic.

[stip]

In 2018 (the live year) Go from Atlanta 94 beat either Even flow from the Orpheum or Corduroy from DC 95 - don't have it updated in the bracket)

In 2017 Last Exit beat In My Tree in the finals
In 2016 Hail Hail beat Immortality
In 2015 DTE beat Last Exit (a fairly nontraditional final 4 that year - Brain of J, Last Exit, DTE, Faithfull)
In 2014 Insignificance beat Corduroy


So this marks studio Corduroy's first return to the finals in 7 years.


I don't have info on the tournaments prior. I wasn't doing brackets and they were on an earlier incarnation of the board

[Mickey]

Can we do a third-place game between Hail Hail and Go?

Hail Hail won.

Next.

[Mickey]

Oh good we agree.

Oh good we agree.

Little Wing is a disaster.

[ABNorman]

In the non-March Madness 2010 tournament, Corduroy won the best track of the 90's and Sad won the best song of the 00's.

Sad didn't make it out of the first round of the joint 90's/00's championship, which was won by In My Tree

I think Sad's best performance might've been 2004 - the seeds for 2005 place it in the top 8.

[Mickey]

This tournament helped remind me that I actually really do enjoy Pearl Jam, and would love to see them live if they promised only to play songs written prior to 2004.

is there a link to the live year? 'go' from that show is like the 10th best performance in the show just off the top of my head. best show ever.

[stip]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Corduroy is your 2021 March Madness champion!

[stip]

And joins Black and Immortality in the exclusive two peater club

Great job, Stip. You are the tournament lord. Thanks!
