Okay, March Madness has begun (technically 3/3 to give folks a chance to find it)

I am in the process of randomizing all brackets. Round 1 matches will be in the main header post

we're going to experiment with keeping this in the main forum this year. Let us know how that experience goes.

Thanks for doing this again Stip. I know how long these things take.

if someone has a spare minute, please check the spoilered round 1 bracket matchups to make sure I didn't leave out/duplicate a song. I'm putting those up now as I randomize them, and it's a manual process

The chord progression on it is almost metal

Huh?

It's a bunch of cowboy chords. Very folky

I've always gotten a sea shanty vibe to it. But not a metal/viking sea shanty vibe

Thanks Stip. Dark Matter is now old news, at least for the next few weeks.

That's a solid greatest hits album, representing well through Binaural.

Forum is open. Sorry for the delay.

Thank you to whoever moved this to a dedicated subforum.

Yes, though just was going to note that posting these polls is like microwaving popcorn. It takes a few seconds to get going, then there’s a flurry of votes, but if it stays up too long it starts to burn.

Well, that didn't take long. Not sure why it can't stay in the main forum?

Stip definitely has a randomizer, and is not setting LB tracks vs Xmas singles.
