    So we are trying to pick the song that is the most popular? So the song that advances is the song the the majority of people picked?

    I don't understand the goal or how you win...

    EDIT:
    From the rules: "SELECTION OF WINNERS: All eligible entries will be entered into a drawing. Prize entries will be drawn as the winners on or about APRIL 8, 2015. In an event of a tie, a random drawing from among all eligible entries received will be selected."

    So it's a drawing of all elligible participants, instead of gaining points based on the correctness of your picks. But how can you tie if only 1 name is drawn?

    Some of the "drag and drops" don't seem to work right on there. Bracket 3 and 4 are messed up for me.

    I know you're supposed to pick what you think will win, but I went with what I like the most instead. I won't win, but it was interesting to go the through the selection. Some were pretty tough. I groaned a few times.

    Is it bad that in the first round in all four regions, I have the 16 seed beating the 1 seed?

    My final four is 12.Off He Goes, 16.Glorified G, 6. Corduroy, and 8. Oceans with Corduroy over Off He Goes.

    I was disappointed with the lack of No Code, Riot Act, and Lost Dogs, but I get that you can only select 64 songs.

    Given to Fly over World Wide Suicide for me. That's pretty crazy close.

    This is VERY interesting. I assume fans will be voting to determine which song advances..

    If this was a 10C only vote, I see a lot of upsets. If this is a popular vote from the general fan public, it could be pretty radio friendly. That being said, I'm still leaning toward 10C popularity.

    I have Black beating SOLAT.

    I think Oceans and Betterman rounded out my top 4.

    Has anyone else had trouble with their computer crapping out on Region 4. The drag and drop doesn't work for me on that page. I'm so close to being done.

    So far, I've got Indifference (region 1) vs. Man of the Hour (region 2) and Hail, Hail (region 3) vs. __________ (region 4).

    I'm kind of annoyed I can't finish the game -- and I don't even plan on winning anything. I'm pretty sure nobody out there would make the same choices as I would!

    Fun afternoon, and I'm loving the 64 song playlist tonight.

    So this thing's pretty similar to what's been run on TheSkyIScrape.com for the past few years, but with less songs?

    For those wondering about the song selections and seeding. It says it's based on total Spotify plays. So, since Spotify is a relatively new piece of software it's warped toward the classics and the new songs (which everyone would have listened too when the album came out). The stuff in the middle/non-popular songs get left out.

    No Smile makes it tough for me to take seriously.

    Thanks for clarifying. There are indeed way too many classics (at least the ones deemed to be so by hardcore fans) absent from this list. With that said, every song from Ten (along with SOLAT - but no Breath!) made the list which pleasantly surprised me.

    It might be different (not for me, to be honest) if there were more songs from No Code and Yield in the bracket. I think many Spotify users need to be given a "proper" Pearl Jam education.

    ...and where the heck was Breath????
