Which Side Are You On?
ComingAFTERthe march madness tournament Red Mosquito will be holding the first ever Pearl Jam Olympics, where the albums will compete in various events for the title of World's Greatest Pearl Jam record
Here's how it will work:
1--Join a team. This is not at all necessary for participation, but if you have a love for a record now is the time to take a stand. You can join up to two album teams, but if you are named a captain (more on that) you can only be a member of one team
2--Once team captains have been agreed on, (please wait until there is a clear consensus) the team captain should start a Team X thread. It is important that the captain start the thread so he can edit the main post, which should include a list of team members
3--It will be the job of the team members to select the albums entries into the various events. ONLY team members can nominate and vote on participants. Songs can enter multiple events
4--Voting for each event will take place over two days. The first day will be the qualifying round. The top four vote getters move on to day two. The day two voting determines who gets the gold, silver, and bronze, and who goes home with shattered dreams. Gold medals are worth 5 points, silver 3, and bronze 1
5--At the end of competition medals will be awarded for the top 3 pearl jam records

* adds suggestion for best outtake category *
outtakes are currently their own team, mostly to avoid having to figure out which albums can claim which outtakes. If people are against the idea of a Team Lost Dogs I'd like to hear it, and why? But my inclination would then be not to allow any b-sides, etc, at all. This is a battle of the albums, not the recording sessions

But I think SOLAT and Breath were recorded after Ten came out. So do they belong to Ten or Vs. That's the problem.

Both were played before ten was released
well then does leash go to team ten? Does whipping go to team vs? Does most of vitalogy go to team vs. at that rate? Which session gets hard to imagine. Where does merkinball go?

Fair enough but breath was played at their first show so could easily have been on ten.
