Are you suggesting something?
A new bracketology would be epic.
Wow, that is a pretty solid trade-off.
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.
