LOL, I was wondering why I didn't recognize some people until I saw this was in the Alternative section.
I'll do a list but I need to think about it since pretty much every choice I'm thinking of is already used.

Wow, this has really exploded. I'm going to permit only one last entry so there will be an even amount of brackets consisting of 128 songs total. After the last list is posted, I'll set up the first round.

I'll pass. It doesn't mean that I don't want to participate, of course. What I'm trying to say is that if it's considered that most of my favorites Alternative songs have already being picked, I prefer not to submit and vote for the ones I know or could begin to like after I listen to them.

I think we should use this tournament as an opportunity to listen to new music. That is to say that if you don't know one of the songs listed in a matchup, listen to it instead of just automatically voting for the one that you do know.
That's how i plan to play anyway lol.

@jf816, I brought "Something New" over from your old list to your new, so "My Silver Lining" was bumped off. Pipa, I just realized "Drown" was already taken by cm7com. Pick something else pretty plese!

It was fun to listen to the new songs I hadn't heard of before. I hope that's what this tournament is going to help me out with; I think I've found some new songs to chart.

Lol, same, I do both and watch big brother on youtube on there for wider screen purposes; the best part is I can connect my ipad to it, so I can search videos on there and play them on my ps3!

I had to listen to the following for the first time:
"Coconut Dracula" which was pretty good, I liked it. "Lights Go Out" which I thought was kinda average, although I'm not as into metal as I used to be. "Take The Bullets Away", which was good enough to vote over the very mediocre Coldplay song is's up against.

I liked "Heaven Knows" on first listen, but "Riptide" is one of my favourite songs from this year, so it has my vote. 2. I didn't like "Coconut Dracula" too much, while the electronic synth on "Fever" cauptivated me. The latter has my vote. 3. I didn't like "Lights Go Out", so "Gotta Get Away" takes my vote. 4. This was interesting. I prefer the Hippie Sabotage remix of "Habits" instead of the original, but I liked "Mechanical" on first listen, so it takes my vote. 5. I prefer "Cardiac Arrest" over "Family Tree" on first listen. The former takes my vote. 6. I really like Linkin Park's stuff, but "Guily All the Same" did nothing on me, whereas "Gold" was really good on first listen. The latter takes my vote. 7. Coldplay is one of my favourite bands and I didn't like "Take the Bullets Away" on first listen, so "Midnight" takes my vote. 8. I prefer "Thunder Clatter" than "Black Out Day" on first listen, so the former takes my vote. 9. This was tough. I liked both of them on first listen, but I prefer the Young the Giant track.
