Shit Towne is probably the most grunge song of all time.

Whatever ends up being included in this, I'll be excited.

And I'll be exited.

Okay. here is option B:

Best of Grunge (big 6) 1991-1996


Pearl Jam: Ten, Vs, Vitalogy, Merkin Ball, No Code (does not include master slave, bugs, or pry to)
Nirvana: Nevermind, In Utero (does not include endless nameless)
Alice In Chains: Dirt, Sap, Jar of Flies, Alice in Chains (does not include Iron Gland and the hidden Sap song)
Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Down on the Upside
Smashing Pumpkins: Gish, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie..
STP: Core, Purple, Tiny Music (does not include No Memory, Wet My Bed, 12 gracious melodies, Press Play)

Plus 24 songs to be selected from the following qualifying tournament:


Insecticide
Peices Iscariot
Aeroplane Flies High
Temple of the Dog
Mad Season
Facelift
Bleach

and the following B-sides/compilation releases

Yellow Ledbetter
State of Love and Trust
Breath
What the Hell Have I
Crazy Mary
Birth Ritual
I Hate Myself and Want to Die
Glynis
Show Me
Verse Chorus Verse
Drown
Seasons
Foosteps
Wash
Dirty Frank
Leaving Here
Kyle Petty
Alone
Even in his youth
A Little Bitter
Dancing days



This leaves us with 124 songs. Ideally we'll have 4 more to include. If people can identify b-sides or soundtrack/comp songs I missed from these artists, or feel that there are particularly significant songs I excluded that'll get us to 128, which is a clean tournament. I couldn't make room for Louder than Love, although we could slice off 8 of the b-sides and make it work.


Thoughts?

I know this has been discussed, but No Memory and Endless Nameless should definitely be included. Especially the latter, which is a killer song.

:boner:

Slight change, I need to reduce the number of songs from the first tournament down from 24 to 16. Which means

Best of Grunge (big 6) 1991-1996


Pearl Jam: Ten, Vs, Vitalogy, Merkin Ball, No Code (does not include stupid mop or pry to)
Nirvana: Nevermind, In Utero
Alice In Chains: Dirt, Sap, Jar of Flies, Alice in Chains (does not include Iron Gland)
Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Down on the Upside
Smashing Pumpkins: Gish, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie..
STP: Core, Purple, Tiny Music

Plus 16 songs to be selected from the following qualifying tournament:


Insecticide
Peices Iscariot
Aeroplane Flies High
Temple of the Dog
Mad Season
Facelift
Bleach

and the following B-sides/compilation releases

Yellow Ledbetter
State of Love and Trust
Breath
What the Hell Have I
Crazy Mary
Birth Ritual
I Hate Myself and Want to Die
Glynis
Show Me
Verse Chorus Verse
Drown
Seasons
Foosteps
Wash
Dirty Frank
Leaving Here
Kyle Petty
Alone
Even in his youth
A Little Bitter
Dancing days
Stupid Mop
Pry To
Iron Gland
Chole Dancer/Crown of Thorns


I added the three missing tracks from the formal albums, plus Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns (because Singles)

that should work. If there are important tracks I missed, or if people really feel like Iron Gland, Stupid Mop, or Pry To should lose in the main tournament suggest a song to replace them with.

What about Merkin Ball?

I'm going to murder someone...

also, shit

Just dropping the word "grunge" from the title of this tournament would really help with things. Has...that been suggested yet?
