Uh, whut?? I only meant I don't know it well enough to recognize it. But... don't you work at a radio station? Or else does the station not play it?

Artie, what's the station you work at? Will we ever get to know, or is it classified information. It'd be cool having someone here on the board on that side of the music industry. Talk to me!

I think we should do a Seattle 90's Grunge Movement week! Nirvana vs. Alice In Chains vs. Soundgarden vs. Pearl Jam. 4 songs/2 duals from each band to start off, reducing down to the two best songs/grunge bands!

^ Come on, there are signature songs from both artists. Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" and "Last Kiss" cover, with "Alive"and "Jeremy" Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun", "Blow Up the Outside World", "Burden In My Hand", and "Spoonman".

I think his point is that you'd have a tough time nailing it down to four songs, and given that I disagree with a lot of your picks compared to what my four would be, I think Artie has a pretty good point. It's pretty tough to narrow it down to four for each when you could arguably have a full bracket of 16 songs that most ppl here would know all of for each of the four bands except for maybe Nirvana.

Well, yeah, but I thought it would be interesting to do a tournament like that. I guess it would be hard to narrow it down to four songs.
And jvandyck87, I thought about the Pearl Jam songs, but I did Soundgarden's in a rush, and did it basically using chart peaks.

Right, I wasn't trashing your picks at all. It's just crazy how many big rock hits they had back when I was a toddler and before you were even born probably. Jeez...
My four from Pearl Jam: "Black", "Jeremy", "Go", and "Nothing As It Seems" though those last two would probably make very few other people's lists.
My four from Soundgarden: "The Day I Tried To Live", "Outshined", "Black Hole Sun", and "Jesus Christ Pose".

We could legit do this March Madness style. Each band is a region with 16 songs. And then we would have the winning song from each band meeting each other in the Final four. And the winning song from each band could be counted among the winners of 16-song brackets, with the Final four winner being a winner among winners. What do y'all think?

You know, looking up some of these songs that qualified for this tournament, it's interesting to note that a few of these songs' topics didn't generate nearly as many replies as the number of views might indicate. The Slipknot song didn't even get to a second page, and "You Found Me" only got to page 2 because everyone was remarking about it being the most viewed topic in forum history to that point. If we went by replies, then "Second Chance" would be #1 by a wide margin. The #2 topic ("Rope") barely has half as many replies at the moment (627 - 332), though that gap may surely narrow in the next few months. For now, it's the Jerry Rice of forum topics.
