    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.

    Just Breathe is a #1 seed. I like the song, but come on man!

    It's based on how many times the songs were streamed.

    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.

    That's what i did. Picked the song i like the best.

    It's fun to see which albums are represented in the final four. Ten - VS. - Vitalogy - duh.

    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????

    This seeding is terrible... I am conflicted... what I think will win and what I want.

    what dreams said:

    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.

    YES! Tried it twice and both times it will not save and continue at the last step.

    This should be fun. And, just like in an NCAA March Madness tourney, I filled out my bracket with what I EXPECT to win, but will be voting for what I WANT to win. Yes, that means that I'll be voting against my predictions in many cases, but who cares? I'm as interested in seeing how well I can predict users' picks as I am in having my favorite songs win.

    I think Oceans and Betterman rounded out my top 4.

    Same here, I just went through and picked my faves. No math or best chances at winning, just went with the heart

    What's the consensus for "group of death"? and the weakest brackets?

    In my opinion, the weakest 1st/2nd round match ups are found in the part of Region 3 LB v. YM and JG/Getaway...meaning one of those 4 is going to make the group of 16!

    But that Region also has some gems in Release, Who you are, Corduroy, I am mine, Yellow Ledbetter
