you would only know Ava Adore and Perfect, but they were far from the best songs on that album.

are probably my favorites

closing out round 1a now, since I have early meetings all day tomorrow, and this has been open over 24 hours.

I don't like Adore and think everything SP did after was pretty shit. Behold the Nightmare is my favorite from Adore I think.

I guess. But rarely has his music moved me. There are a handful of songs but that's it. So, really what's the point? What good is it being "the best musician" of a time and place if the music doesn't affect or move you?

Siamese Dream moved the %!÷: out of me!

I guess the point is diff'rent strokes..

I'll help out too. I have a lot of free office time late at night when I'm closing my bar.

Unfortunately, stip puts the new matches up in the morning when most of us are working diligently or sleeping peacefully.
Not criticizing, it just is what it is. Others will hopefully help too.

I had zero included in the b-sides, which means there is space for someone to nominate one more b-side, or one of the filler tracks I left off.

and the 16 songs I would choose to advance (based on the bracket)

1. Seasons
2. River of Deceit
3. I'm Above
4. Drown
5. About a Girl
6. Landslide
7. Whir
8. State of Love and Trust
9. Breath
10. Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns
11. Hunger Strike
12. Obscured (this is the weakest part of the tournament)
13. Long Gone Day
14. Man in the Box
15. Yellow Ledbetter
16. Glynis

Also, if I could cut Aeroplane down to:

Meladori Magpie
Rotten Apples
Medellia of the Gray Skies
Tonite Reprise
God
Pennies
Ugly
Cherry
Set the Ray to Jerry
Clones
Destination Unknown
Transformer

I'd have a pretty fun little album

How about: Eddie Vedder with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - The Long Road

actually I just realized we could add against the 70s, so I'm going with that over Face of Love, which was inspired by this post

Pisces Iscariot is a lot better than I remember. I really just remembered Pissant, Frail and Bedazzled, Whir, and Landslide. There's a solid foundation of songs there besides those four.
