13. Can't Keep vs. Fatal is up

Both songs advance to the finals of the Matt Cameron bracket, to eventually determine which two matt era songs make it to the quarter finals

For brackets structured around drummer eras, we're somehow managing to eliminate the more drummer-centric tracks.
:hooray:

The most complicated March madness bracket ever, with it own uber-Cameron bracket of the winners of the other Cameron brackets. I love it!

Matt Cameron is definitely winning this MM.

you know I thought we were moving through this bracket too quickly. We still have half of bracket 1 to go...

so fatal is out of the tournament, and Can't Keep will go on to the bracket finals to determine who has the better seeding in the Matt Cameron brackets quarterfinals to determine the top two songs to advance to the full tournament quarterfinals, as well as which of those top two songs has the better seeding...

I am so bad at this, I started the second half of the MC bracket 2 rather than the second half of MC bracket 1.

We'll just keep doing matt cameron matches of some form or another and eventually finish

Is “Ole” the most brutal blowout ever?

We've had a few over the years that have only gotten 1 vote. But it's definitely up there. Especially since I don't think it would have gotten that one vote if I hadn't decided to make sure it wasn't the first ever shut out. :lol:
Spoiler: show
I also do really love Ole. Like a lot

For me, there’s not a single PJ song I dislike, Olé included.
Part of my fascination with PJ, is the amount of songs (some we have already, some we shouldn’t have) that did not find their way into a proper studio album.

Today agree.

It's become a running joke/meme here on RM that I hate Habit and I do lean into that whenever possible, especially in the March Madness tournaments. But honestly I don't hate any PJ songs. The band is a unicorn.

there are some pearl jam songs I don't like. I don't know if there are any I actually hate. I talk about pearl jam on a scale where the basement is already several floors up

Also round is closed.

Half Bracket is closed. Nothing as it seems wins 16-15


Next half bracket is up. This was all randomized, and as much as I love the Matt C era, this particular block of songs is maybe not the strongest...
