I am curious about bands like Bush and Silverchair -- those second-wave grunge bands were what I thought of as "post grunge" for a long time; to my ears those bands are much more directly descendants of Nirvana than Creed/Staind/etc. were of Pearl Jam or AIC, which apart from blatantly aping the most cartoonish elements of those bands' vocal styles never really had a whole lot in common with them musically.
I mean, that stuff is clearly of a different aesthetic than the stuff on this list, I'm just wondering about the terminologies.
Yes, exactly. I will not be adding any of those bands. There was definitely short period between Grunge and the true "Post-Grunge" groups in this tournament, which was composed of bands like Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, Everclear, etc. A lot of it may technically fall into the Post-Grunge genre, but really I just think of it as '90s Alternative Rock. I'd say that song by The Flys would also fall into this category.

I mean if you’re gonna add Fear Factory you gotta do New Breed, Demanufacture and Shock before Linchpin.
I don't think so. Everything I'm seeing online indicates that "Linchpin" is their most popular song.
I would like to add one more song because it would prevent us from having a bye round.
Big Wreck, I Mother Earth, Lifehouse, Matthew Good Band, Our Lady Peace, Silverchair, Sister Hazel, Tonic, Chevelle, Everclear, Vertical Horizon, The Verve Pipe
I'd say none of these are NU metal. I don't recall the others. Especially the Canadian bands, nothing metal about them.

It says post grunge in the headline.
The difference between a band like Fuel and a band like Lifehouse is that while they both may have ballad-y, sort-of-pop hits, Fuel mainly makes hard rock songs, while Lifehouse really only deals in pop rock.

Yes, I was least certain of Lifehouse. I remember Hanging By A Moment being huge.
Matthew Good Band made the best post-grunge album.
You have Godsmack, Three Doors Down, Fear Factory, Fuel, Korn, it’s a varied list. Penty of room for more post-grunge.
Ehh, I'd say these bands all fit quite comfortably together.
The difference between them is large compared to a lot of top post-grunge bands not included. I mean Fear Factory and Three Doors Down, and I’ve got their albums on cd.

I wish I had predicted on page 1 that KD was going to come into this thread and be a huge nerd about it.
Me being a huge nerd has grown so unsurprising that my only avenue for keeping things fresh is doing so in unexpected places. This music was never my cup of tea but I am going to play along with this. Expect to read more words on nu-metal than you ever imagined possible.

I am looking forward to it.
Are people going to be voting based on what they think the better song is, or on which of the songs best embodies the era, or on what the worse of the two songs is? I think my criteria is going to be a mix between the second and third options.
