    I hate myself right now, but I had no choice. Blowing your face off is actually way cooler than Eddie Vedder.

    Unless GNR can take down Nirvana in the Sweet 16, the number #1 Nirvana vs #2 Metallica matchup appears ever more probable.
    That might be the best Sweet 16 matchup. Weak bracket but hell of an S16 game. E8 too, whoever faces Mettalica.

    And if #1 plays number #2 you can't give me too much crap on the seedings unless you think Alice in Chains would have gotten past Nirvana and Soundgarden.

    Stacking the grunge bands against each other in the first two rounds was kind of lame. Should have spread them out like the tourney does teams from the same conference.
    Fair enuff. Seedings committee next tim.

    Nirvana are fast strategy heroes. SLTS was the defining song of the 90s and for some reason around here people act like fucking Nirvana was a boy band.


    Pearl Jam are a bunch of kids from Bellevue and a depressed guy from San Diego.

    Clapton did not do well in this tournament. @tenndawg (RIP) would have approved.

    I was always more PJ than Nirvana but I’m slow strategy as fuck ...

    Agree with Dennis regarding SLTS ... probably the best song of the 90s

    The question I have with Nirvana is does that song carry them going forward? What are Nirvana’s Top 2-3 songs outside of SLTS? It’s those songs that always made PJ >>> Nirvana for me

    Take your pick of these 5.

    Honestly I could name 6 Nirvana songs a lot faster than 6 PJ songs (even without using any of the covers off of the GOAT unplugged album), and PJ has about 3000 more songs.

    Lithium
    Come As You Are
    All Apologies
    About A Girl
    Heart Shaped Box

    If we're ranking PJ/Nirvana songs, personally I'd go

    SLTS














    Black
    Lithium
    About a Girl
    Come As You Are
    Heart Shaped Box
    Alive
    Even Flow
    All Apologies
    Yellow Ledbetter
    Jeremy
    Daughter

    Not thinking per se vs PJ ... thinking future rounds

    Come As You Are is very good and probably 2nd for me

    Heart Shaped Box I’ve never liked much (probably because of the video)

    Lithium is probably my 3rd

    The older I get and the more removed I am from associating the music with the video Nirvana has grown on me. That said it’s a little to lot darker than Pearl Jam and I tend to not want to go to dark places when listening to music

    Vedder, because he's still alive and the other guy isn't. No question Nirvana is the better band. But Pearl Jam had to age and gets judged on a larger body of work, while Nirvana benefits from a ton of undeserved credit from Cobain's suicide. Great music, some of the best to listen to when you're in an angry mood, but get fucked if you think he was the spokesman of a generation. I know there's at least one douchey fanboy here who voted Cobain because of the myth. Not that it matters, but I'm canceling out your vote.

    You make a decent point, but does anyone who isn’t a die hard fan give a fuck about any Pearl Jam song after the mid 90’s?

    Meanwhile, the band that got absolutely destroyed by Nirvana is selling out Safeco for a 2 night stand beginning this evening. I like a number of PJ tracks, but sweet Jesus are they overrated in the big scheme of things.

    That's what happens when the lead singer doesn't put a gun in his mouth.
