Ok, since the Pit is slowing down because of the holidays and the end of the tour, and because I'm a huge bracketology geek and can't sit on this any longer, I thought it would be cool if we had a huge 128 song March Madness style bracket to see what we, the 10C members and fans thought was the ultimate PJ song (I've timed it out so the finals are decided the same day as the actual NCAA championship game on April 5). I'm not sure if this has ever been done here before or not, but we have a new album to include this time, so the results may be different. In order to do this, we need to cut the 150+ song catalog down to 128. I've already done a lot of the legwork, all I need now is your votes.
Below are 6 of the 26 "wild card" matchups in order to round out the top 128. Voting will last +/- 2 days and you can use any criteria you want to judge the better song. Check back often as new matchups will be introduced every couple days. (Time frame subject to change based upon volume of voting)
WILD CARD MATCHUPS PART 4:
1. Army Reserve def. No More (42-8)
2. Parachutes def. Last Soldier (40-10)
3. Supersonic def. Santa God (46-4)
4. Speed of Sound def. Don't Gimme No Lip (30-20)
5. Santa Cruz def. Whale Song (33-17)
6. In the Moonlight def. You're True (38-12)
7. Big Wave def. Bugs (28-22)
8. Come Back def. Olympic Platinum (44-6)
WILD CARD MATCHUPS PART 3:
1. Parting Ways def. Evacuation (49-13)
2. Thin Air def. God's Dice (44-18)
3. Pilate def. Push Me, Pull Me (45-17)
4. Breakerfall def. Soon Forget (42-20)
5. U def. Help Help (41-21)
6. Get Right def. Bushleaguer (34-28)
WILD CARD MATCHUPS PART 2:
1. Happy When I'm Crying def. Sweet Lew (25-16)
2. Black Red Yellow def. Hitchhiker (34-7)
3. Red Mosquito def. Leatherman (38-2-1)
4. Around the Bend def. Mankind (30-10-1)
5. Wishlist def. Dead Man Walking (27-13-1)
6. Faithfull def. I'm Open (37-4)
WILD CARD MATCHUPS PART 1:
1. Oceans def. Just A Girl (90-6)
2. Wash def. Deep (51-44-1)

4. Brother def. Dirty Frank (59-36-1)
5. Out of My Mind def. Let Me Sleep (60-35-1)

Hope you guys all like this idea, and I will be posting the bracket for all to follow along once the final 128 are determined

Really great idea. This is going to be great..... but why exactly would 3 ten songs be "wild card" songs? That parts a bit weird. Don't like that album much?
My complaint: Garden is in the Wild Card round???

For all those unsure about the wild card songs, I broke the brackets up by era. This first wild card matchup is the Ten era, and since there are so many classic songs out of that time period, a few good songs ended up in the wild card round. Things will become much clearer once the bracket is posted.
P.S. If you follow along, you may notice that some songs seem out of place for their era. That was unavoidable as there's only 16 available spots for each "era"

There aren't any improvs, covers, or EV solo songs in the tournament, I only included Out of My Mind because they did play it again in Philly, and I needed 1 more song to make an even number.
