Re: The new update and Bracketology

Are you suggesting something?
A new bracketology would be epic.

Re: The new update and Bracketology

Wow, that is a pretty solid trade-off.

Epic, and perhaps a bit much for me. I started to get worn out by it about halfway through the last one.

I'm not saying that it's out of the question, but I'll need some time to think it over.

Re: The new update and Bracketology

As a bit of a follow-up to Harold's post, only three songs advanced beyond the first round in Bracketology '09-'10, but were dropped out of the Top 1024 in the most recent update.

#809. "Alive" - Pearl Jam
#990. "Frankie Teardrop" - Suicide
#1009. "Burning Down the House" - Talking Heads

Draw your own conclusions.
