This has pretty much everything. A number of songs had to get byes in the first round to make this work (once you're past 64 songs these are nightmares to put together) and I figured I'd stick in everything but the kitchen sink to minimize the number of byes. I determined what songs got a bye based roughly on how popular they are around here, but there isn't anything that's based off of besides intuition.

If there are any egregious mistakes or anything I missed let me know :)

very interested to see what places in 2nd. Since obviously, Black is the best song they've ever done and quite possibly the best song of all time.

I think BLACK has won the PJ Song "March Madness" Tourney... what 3 times? At least 2 in the last 4 or 5 years. I'm interested to see how it holds up here.

I think Corduroy, Given To Fly or Release would beat Black on this forum.

This will be super tough, but I'm hoping "In My Tree" takes the prize of best 90's PJ song.

Definitely. There's some great, great stuff from the 2000's era, Binaural and Riot Act are in my top 3 albums, but there's way less crap in the 90's stuff than 2000's.

Yeah that works. Good job stip.

Black v DTE and RVM v GTF could get messy in a few rounds time.

I'll be honest, I'm gonna have a hard time not voting for Hummus over Glorified G.

there is two matches in the first round that have BYE written in them but have two songs competing.

Dead Man
BYE
Whipping

and

Master/Slave
BYE
Small Town


problem is that it prevents you from completing a prediction bracket.

And why is there only a left side? You did the 2000s one so nice too.

Looks like it's fixed on the bracket page, but when you click on 'Predict It!' and it takes you to the first round prediction page, both are still showing up with the BYE between them.

But, if you can't see a 'Predict It!' option (I see it on this page just above "Pearl Jam best of 90s"), I don't know how you'd see that. Maybe it'd help to logout, if you haven't tried that already?
