And good on them.
I agree.

How about ten mini tournaments of each album plus their bsides and outtakes. Then we take each ten winners, ignore Backspacer and Lightning Bolt and have a final eight.

Or just forget the whole mess and vote on the final four being Last Exit, BoJ, In My Tree and Nothing As It Seems.

we could do that and take the top 2 finishers from each album, 4 non album tracks, and last years final 8. that could work

This is a very good idea.

I also wouldn't hate taking covers completely out of this.

Or doing a separate covers tournament with only the final four (or possibly elite 8) advancing into the full March Madness tournament.

I like the covers pre-tournament idea.

Hey, I'm with you, friend. But if we gotta have 'em, we should weed out the best handful for the big tournament.

I think it's a soundcheck recording.

And it's not Pearl Jam, it's X with Ed.
