    I agree , I already don't agree with the wild cards

    I'll admit, it was difficult to seed the songs, especially the songs on Ten. The wild card songs become more like throw away songs later on (there's a Whale Song vs. Santa Cruz matchup on the horizon), but I had to make some tough calls early on. 100 different people could organize this and we'd have 100 different brackets, but since there's no AP poll on this particular subject, I had to make some judicious calls. Just know that what you see now is just a fraction of the whole thing, and as long as you keep voting for your favorites, the best songs will rise to the top.

    You might be able to list them according to a ratio of number of times played lived / # of years each song has been released.

    Even Flow = 650 plays / 19 year = 34.21
    Fixer = 32 plays / 1 "year" = 32
    etc etc

    and then set up the brackets that way?

    Wow. That sounds like math. I don't know if I like that :D

    Really, I just tried to be objective while taking into consideration what the band chooses to promote, what the casual fan knows, and what us geeks love and hate (that's why Evacuation is seeded poorly even though I happen to love that song). There was no science behind it though because I was just trying to fill some time, and I figure the best song is gonna win no matter what path it has to take.
