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.
:thumbsup:
