2016: Hail Hail (Hail Hail vs. Immortality)
2015 Do the Evolution (Do the Evolution vs. Last Exit)
2014 Insignificance (Insignificance vs. Corduory)
2012 Tremor Christ (Tremor Christ vs. Immortality)
2009 Black (Black vs. Given to Fly)
2008 Immortality (Final: Immortality vs. Rearviewmirror)
2007 Corduroy (Final: Corduroy vs. Porch)
2006 Black (Final: Black vs. Corduroy)
2005 I Got Shit (Final: I Got Shit vs. In My Tree)


So the 8 songs advancing to the final 32 will be

Hail Hail, Do the Evolution, Insignificance, Tremor Christ, Black, Immortality, Corduroy, and I Got Shit.

They will be joined by the top 2 songs from the 10 studio albums, and the top 4 non album tracks.

If you're including 2008's tournament, you should include 2010's tournament as well - so the 8 songs would be:

Hail, Hail, Do the Evolution, Insignificance, Tremor Christ, In My Tree, Black, Immortality and Corduroy

2004 - Immortality [Old, old board]
No records exist - this was just mentioned in the 2005 tourney. Immortality beat Black in the final. The 2005 tourney mentions that this was the "first" March Madness.

2005 - I Got Shit

2006 - Black
Voting took place on TSIS, rather than RM.

2007 - Corduroy
Voting took place on TSIS, rather than RM.

2008 - Immortality(2)*
This was a "Song tournament" rather than a March Madness

2009 - Black(2)

2010 - In My Tree*
Again, not a March Madness. Consisted of a 90's tournament (Corduroy won) and a 2000's tournament (Sad won). Top 16 results from each tournament competed in a final tournament, which In My Tree won.

2011 - NO COMPETITION

2012 - Tremor Christ

2013 - NO COMPETITION

2014 - Insignificance

2015 - Do the Evolution

2016 - Hail, Hail, you bastards.

Neither one of them is winning the whole thing, friend.

No, but now you know what to do in the event of a Last Exit vs In My Tree match.

They'll both eventually make their Last Exit.

This year, the thing I'm most interested in seeing is how far In My Tree will make it. Second to that, how far will Hail, Hail go?

I'm not feeling In My Tree this year. It feels like Last Exit's year.

Oh, In My Tree will absolutely NOT win. That's a foregone conclusion. RM won't have it. I'm just curious to see how far it WILL go.

Didn't Last Exit win last year? Or the year before?

Yeah, they'll blow their collective nut on something like Sleight of Hand.

No lie: I'd take Sleight of Hand over Las Exit, actually.
