The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I have very little idea what I'm doing, some patience may be required at times.
Because of how many songs this will involve, I'm proposing a "super bracket" (? I have no idea) for the first few rounds where four songs compete with only one song progressing further - let me know if you think that's a terrible idea.
The scope of the tournament is the Cure's core single and album output from 1978 through 1997 (b-sides excluded for the sake of keeping this manageable):
THREE IMAGINARY BOYS (1979) 10:15 Saturday Night Accuracy Grinding Halt Another Day Object Subway Song Foxy Lady Meathook So What? Fire In Cairo It's Not You Three Imaginary Boys
SEVENTEEN SECONDS (1980) A Reflection Play For Today Secrets In Your House Three The Final Sound A Forest M At Night Seventeen Seconds

JAPANESE WHISPERS (1983) Let's Go to Bed The Dream Just One Kiss The Upstairs Room The Walk Speak My Language Lament The Love Cats
THE TOP (1984) Shake Dog Shake Bird Mad Girl Wailing Wall Give Me It Dressing Up The Caterpillar Piggy in the Mirror The Empty World Bananafishbones The Top
THE HEAD ON THE DOOR (1985) In Between Days Kyoto Song The Blood Six Different Ways Push The Baby Screams Close To Me A Night Like This Screw Sinking
KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME (1987) The Kiss Catch Torture If Only Tonight We Could Sleep Why Can't I Be You? How Beautiful You Are... The Snakepit Hey You!!! Just Like Heaven All I Want Hot Hot Hot!!! One More Time Like Cockatoos Icing Sugar The Perfect Girl A Thousand Hours Shiver and Shake Fight
DISINTEGRATION (1989) Plainsong Pictures of You Closedown Love Song Last Dance Lullaby Fascination Street Prayers for Rain The Same Deep Water as You Disintegration Homesick Untitled

Open to any other suggestions, ideas, etc. too.
I think you should do whatever makes it easiest on you as the event organizer. I'm down with a long, head-to-head tournament. But I know that's daunting for you and for the general attention span of RM. So, I think you're "super bracket" idea makes a lot of sense.
You should reach out to Stip and see if he has any suggestions since he's run so many of these.

Yeah, my main concern is trying to keep things moving at a reasonable pace lest it become a boring slog for everyone who isn't a Cure superfan.

I support the super-bracket idea.
I'll try to make my way through most of these albums quickly. I've always really digged these guys but I'm actually unfamiliar with most of their catalog
I literally know 2 Cure songs off the top of my head. This tournament is gonna be fun for me because I really want an excuse to get to know their work and to hear how others experience the band.
