Alex trebek would never say "for 400 Alex" after reading the clue. You would say "for 400 Alex" after asking for a category.

Any other significant b-sides from soundgarden (or another band) during this period?
I want so bad to say that if the majority of the selections are coming from Big 6 albums between '91 and '95, then Pry, To and Stupid Mop should absolutely make the cut. They're songs. I don't care what "filler" means to detractors.

I can't in good faith actually say any of that, though. This is shaping up to be a tournament more about loved and recognized songs from specific bands during a specific moment in time, and swapping out two more conventional tracks in lieu of what most of the voters will call filler makes perfect sense. Beat on, stip.

Voting will begin tomorrow. The forum, final song selection, etc. should be visible later this morning

Actually, voting will begin today and we'll leave round one open two days to give people time to realize this is live
