Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 Toad the Wet Bracket Salt-N-Pepa- "Whatta Man" - Remember how Veruca Salt's first single from their following album actually REPRISED part of "Seether?" Beck- "Loser" - I remember thinking after hearing "Mellow Gold" that Beck would be a one-hit wonder. I'm not clairvoyant. Montell Jordan- "This Is How We Do It" - I hate both choices. Goo Goo Dolls- "Iris" - See above. Hanson- "Mmmbop" - Harmless enough. Chris Isaak- "Wicked Game" - Just for a boner-ific video. Kris Kross- "Jump" - Hey guys, did you know that Jewel used to live in her car? She only mentioned it in 1,000 interviews. Deee-Lite- "Groove Is In The Heart" - I remember losing a group danceoff where we performed to this song. Jamiroquai- "Virtual Insanity" - That was an impressive video, huh? Ricky Martin- "Livin La Vida Loca" - As much as we all hate to admit it, at one time or another you have caught yourself singing "She's into superstitions/Black cats and voodoo dolls," then were horrified at yourself. Sixpence None The Richer- "Kiss Me" - Gangsta rap was mostly lost on me in the '90s. L.L. Cool J- "Mama Said Knock You Out" - ...But at least L.L. was accessible. Fiona Apple- "Criminal" - I actually like her cover of "Across the Universe." Weezer- "Buddy Holly" - Weezer's "Blue Album" is actually my favorite album of the '90s. There, I said it. Mariah Carey- "Dreamlover" - Can't remember the song, but I'll pick the lesser of two evils. "Fantasy" was alright. Jay Z- "Can I Get A..." - Don't know either song, but I like Jay's "December 4th" song from the '00s. Give Me One Region To Stay Here Nirvana- "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Grohl's drumming is intense and fantastic on this one. Makes the whole song. Plus, it awakened me to music that wasn't just "Weird" Al and Nintendo songs. Blink 182- "Dammit" - I picked their most innocuous song. Blur- "Girls and Boys" - "Song 2" reminds me of an insufferable girl who would sing the "Woo-hoos" incessantly. Stone Temple Pilots- "Interstate Love Song" - Hopefully "Plush" isn't the one that goes "I know you want what's on my mind," or else I voted wrong. But I won't take it back. Smashing Pumpkins- "1979" - Everything by this band is wretched, but I'll go with this one. Seal- "Kiss From A Rose" - Don't remember the other tune, but at least this one was on the same soundtrack as the Flaming Lips' "Bad Days." The Cranberries- "Linger" - Tough, but I realized I like "Dreams" best as Girl Talk's reworking of it. No Doubt- "Spiderwebs" - Boy, this band's work didn't age well. Not even "Hella Good" from the '00s, their best song, is listenable anymore. Alanis Morissette- "You Oughta Know" - This was like choosing between contracting canceraids and flaming canceraids. Green Day- "Basket Case" - "Basket Case" got overplayed, but still beats the pants off "Good Riddance." Oasis- "Wonderwall" - Once again, would you rather have the canceraids or the flaming canceraids? R.E.M.- "Losing My Religion" - I remember watching people cry while listening to "Everybody Hurts." Awkward. Chumbawumba- "Tubthumping" - I like how everyone who thinks this song is romantic believes they're saying "kissing the night away." Tom Cochrane- "Life Is A Highway" - Yes, I do hate Bush that much. Third Eye Blind- "Semi-Charmed Life" - This tourney's just full of these lose/lose decisions. Blind Melon- "No Rain" - Can't say I know the Black Crows tune. 2 Legit Bracket Aerosmith- "Cryin'" - Even shell-of-themselves Aerosmith can beat TLC. Soundgarden- "Black Hole Sun" - Tolerable Cornell, where have ye gone? MC Hammer- "U Can't Touch This" - "Their song goes 'do do do dodo doo doot/do do do dodo doo doot.' Mine goes 'do do do dodo doo doot /*DO* do do dodo doo doot.'" Spacehog- "In The Meantime" - I always did like the baseline in this. Made me think of SNES' "Stunt Race FX" somehow. Salt-N-Pepa- "Shoop" - Could two Peppa songs not named "Push It" go to the second round? DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince- "Summertime" - I did have a friend with a crappy car. He drove two miles an hour. Everybody saw him. 2Pac- "California Love" - I don't understand songs that break momentum for a dumb skit even more than I don't understand dumb skits on albums. "...Baby One More Time" is one of these songs. Spice Girls- "Wannabe" - I can't believe George Bush pardoned the Fugee in jail. Maybe he's a fan? Bryan Adams- "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" - lolerskates. The Verve- "Bittersweet Symphony" - I guess the string loop is the best thing going on in this pairing. Beastie Boys- "Sabotage" - Anyone remember Better Than Ezra's third single, "Rosalia?" Spin Doctors- "Two Princes" - Yeah, I had this album once. Offspring- "Self Esteem" - Slightly better than when Offspring decided to write all joke songs. Soul Asylum- "Runaway Train" - Has there ever been a follow-up on the kids in that video? Semisonic- "Closing Time" - I'll go with the (awful) one I've heard. Red Hot Chili Peppers- "Under The Bridge" - I think "Gel" might be Collective Soul's best song. Damn! I Wish I Was Your Bracket Radiohead- "Creep" - I totally ruled this one in "Rock Band" this one time. Presidents of the United States of America- "Lump" - What a perfect little piece of pop-rock, clocking in at under three minutes. Pearl Jam- "Evenflow" - Probably the best song from "Ten," but I was never too keen on that album. New Radicals- "You Get What You Give" - That New Radicals album is awful, but this song was a great single. Pras (ft. Maya & ODB)- "Ghetto Superstar" - Dr. Evil did the definitive version of Osbourne's song. Sinead O'Connor- "Nothing Compares 2 U" - Again, I like the turn this song took in the hands of Girl Talk. Nada Surf- "Popular" - I should go download this from iTunes. Awesome novelty track. Faith No More- "Epic" - Haha, Marcy Playground. Guns N Roses- "November Rain" - I'll be damned, they actually grabbed the brass ring they reached for on this one. Arrested Development- "Tennessee" - I would have preferred "Mr. Wendel," myself. Everclear- "Santa Monica" - If Everclear could write songs that didn't sound like each other, they'd probably still be relevant. Unfortunately for Everclear, they're Everclear. Ben Folds Five- "Brick" - All I have to say about Folds is in the "Way to Normal" thread. Fastball- "The Way" - It takes guts to name your band "Garbage," then suck, knowing all the obvious jokes that will follow. Juvenile- "Back That Azz Up" - Awful choices here. 4 Non Blondes- "What's Up" - I must say that I never understood the lovefest for "Everlong." I'd like someone to explain it to me, please. I've tried with that tune, but it never grabbed me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 Salt-N-Pepa- "Whatta Man" - Remember how Veruca Salt's first single from their following album actually REPRISED part of "Seether?" Yeah, they did an "I Am The Walrus"/"Glass Onion" thing with it. It was sort of lame, considering that I don't remember there being a lot of speculation as to the true identity of "Seether." Stone Temple Pilots- "Interstate Love Song" - Hopefully "Plush" isn't the one that goes "I know you want what's on my mind," or else I voted wrong. But I won't take it back. That's "Sex Type Thing," so you're in luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 Veruca Salt- "Seether" - one of my favorite songs the year it came out. Beck- "Loser" - Beck was awesome. Paula Cole- "I Don't Want To Wait" - I have an irrational fandom of Paula Cole (and her nasty armpit hair). Goo Goo Dolls- "Iris" - I had both albums here but prefer this to "Missing" by a little bit. The Breeders- "Cannonball" - Fuck Hanson, and I like this song too. Snoop Doggy Dogg- "Gin and Juice" - If it was a video contest Helena would have won this for Isaak, but I prefer this song by a wide margin. Jewel- "Who Will Save Your Soul" - The album isn't good because most of the singles are better than the album tracks, but I'll take it over "Jump" any day. Deee-Lite- "Groove Is In The Heart" - I love me some Deee-Lite. Sarah McLachlan- "Building a Mystery" - One of my favorite songs of the '90s. Warren G. (feat. Nate Dogg)- "Regulate" - One of my favorite hip-hop songs ever. Sixpence None The Richer- "Kiss Me" - I never liked Biggie. Christina Aguilera- "Genie In A Bottle" - Not much of a contest here. Fiona Apple- "Criminal" - I wore this CD out and it was my favorite song on there. Toni Braxton- "You Mean The World To Me" - Toni Braxton's debut was a great album. Then she decided to turn into a sluttier, less talented version of herself. U2- "One" - I love old school Mariah, but this is better than "Dreamlover". 'N Sync- "Tearin' Up My Heart" - I actually have to pick a fucking boy band because I just don't like Jay-Z at all. I feel dirty. Nirvana- "Heart Shaped Box" - Better than Spirit in every way. Blink 182- "Dammit" - Coin flip came up heads. I like both songs but couldn't really pick one on merit. Blur- "Song 2" - Woooooo hoooooooooo. Stone Temple Pilots- "Plush" - My favorite STP song. Smashing Pumpkins- "Today" - Today is the greatest. Seal- "Kiss From A Rose" - Great song. The Cranberries- "Linger" - Better than "Dreams", but not better than "Zombie". One of the most underrated bands of the '90s. No Doubt- "Spiderwebs" - I hated "Don't Speak". Underrated song. Alanis Morissette- "You Oughta Know" - I liked the video to "Ironic" more, but this is the song/album that got me hooked on rock so it will probably get my vote in just about every round. Green Day- "Basket Case" - That other song got overplayed, this one didn't. Oasis- "Wonderwall" - My favorite song of theirs. R.E.M.- "Everybody Hurts" - Both songs are great, I just like this one better. Meredith Brooks- "Bitch" - I think this holds up better than "Tubthumping", so it gets my vote. Bush- "Glycerine" - I only know the Rascal Flatts version of the other song, and I thought this is one of Bush's best songs. Third Eye Blind- "Semi-Charmed Life" - I purchased the album for this song. Blind Melon- "No Rain" - Great song and video. Aerosmith- "Cryin'" - I didn't like "Waterfalls" as much as most people did. Soundgarden- "Black Hole Sun" - I'd rather watch En Vogue, but listen to Soundgarden. MC Hammer- "U Can't Touch This" - Come on. Spacehog- "In The Meantime" - I fucking love this song. Don't really know why though. Naughty By Nature- "O.P.P." - My favorite hip hop group of the 90s, and one of their best known songs. The Verve Pipe- "The Freshmen" - The album sucked, but this song was great. 2Pac- "California Love" - Not a huge Pac fan, but his worst song is better than anything Britney ever did. Spice Girls- "Wannabe" - I HATE HATE HATE the Fugees. Again, I feel dirty picking a band of talentless hacks. Dr. Dre (feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg)- "Nuthin But A G Thang" - One of the best rap songs of the '90s. The Verve- "Bittersweet Symphony" - Don't know the other song and I actually liked this one. Beastie Boys- "Sabotage" - Don't know the other song and I actually liked this one. The Cardigans- "Lovefool" - Tough call here, but Nina's voice wins out over the wackiness of The Spin Doctors. Offspring- "Self Esteem" - Huge fan of the group. Eagle-Eye Cherry- "Save Tonight" - No contest really. Semisonic- "Closing Time" - Catchy song even though I don't remember anything else about these guys. Collective Soul- "Shine" - I'm probably one of the only people who will pick this song, but I think it's the better choice. Radiohead- "Creep" - Not even close. The only Radiohead song I REALLY like. Outkast- "Rosa Parks" - I couldn't stand PUSA, so this was no contest. Pearl Jam- "Evenflow" - Tougher choice than I would have liked, but I've gotta go with Vedder. Sheryl Crow- "All I Wanna Do" - Sheryl Crow is a guilty pleasure of mine. Joan Osborne- "One Of Us" - Great song. Great album. Career killed by Alanis winning all of the Grammys that year. Dishwalla- "Counting Blue Cars" - Sinead has a better voice, but this is one of those '90s songs I still listen to regularly. The Divinyls- "I Touch Myself" - Fuck Nada Surf. I HATED that song. Faith No More- "Epic" - Maybe the toughest choice in this whole round for me. Guns N Roses- "November Rain" - One of the easiest picks for me. Arrested Development- "Tennessee" - Arrested Development was amazing. Hootie and the Blowfish- "I Only Wanna Be With You" - I've gotta go with Hootie here. Harvey Danger- "Flagpole Sitta" - Never heard the other song. Garbage- "Only Happy When It Rains" - Shirley Manson is one of my favorite lead singers of the '90s. Gin Blossoms- "Hey Jealousy" - Coin toss since I don't remember either of these. Foo Fighters- "Everlong" - Dave Grohl gets the nod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"volcano girls"? it was more of a reference than a reprise. and that's a great fucking song. aside from nirvana's "you know you're right," that's the only song post-1994 i've ever heard that made me feel exactly like it was 1994 again. and not in a stuck-up "oh that's SO 1994" way. but in an "i'm excited about this new song enough that i feel twelve years old again" way.

Better Than Ezra- "Good" Beastie Boys- "Sabotage" "Starring Nathan Wind as "Cochese" The Cardigans- "Lovefool" This is a good song, and they did some decent Sabbath covers back in the day.

Hitler Cubano 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 Salt-N-Pepa- "Whatta Man" Don't care for Veruca Salt, and this one is alright. Beck- "Loser" No boy bands. And this is a fairly decent song. Montell Jordan- "This Is How We Do It" Fuck, I catch myself singing this every now and then. Better than that Paula Cole garbage. Goo Goo Dolls- "Iris" Oh, WHAT. You wanted to make your high school girlfriend get emotional? THIS IS THE SONG. The Breeders- "Cannonball" Easy pick. No boy bands. Chris Isaak- "Wicked Game" Hardest pick so far. I love Snoop quite a bit, but I have a personal attachment to this song and I rock it in karaoke. Make the ladies wet their panties. Mr. Dogg will get some love later, I'm sure. What else has Isaak done, besides that crappy TV show? Kris Kross- "Jump" I never cared for either one, but I cared for Jewel and her yodeling Alaska ass a lot less. Deee-Lite- "Groove Is In The Heart" I had a personal vendetta for many years because I transferred and went to La Crescenta High School for a very short period of time, and in that shithole little town, EVERYONE was going nuts because Eve-6 was from there and were actually recent graduates when I was there. No thanks. I think I remember Deee-Lite's girl being kind of cute and the song was alright, if not a song that I could actually listen to for a long time. Good enough for me. Jamiroquai- "Virtual Insanity" I hate Sarah McLachlan. Virtual Insanity was definitely a lot catchier, but something you felt was one of those "in the moment" songs that would be totally irrelevant later on. It's since passed that phase and now just feels kinda retro. Someone should remix the shit out of that for today. Warren G. (feat. Nate Dogg)- "Regulate" Oh this isn't even close. Fuck Ricky Martin first of all, and Regulate is a classic song. Notorious B.I.G. (feat. Puff Daddy and Mace)- "Mo Money Mo Problems" Yeah, I've gotta go for one of Biggie's better hits over a song it took me a while to remember. It has limited replay value, whereas Mo'Money was a pretty fun song. Christina Aguilera- "Genie In A Bottle" I'll go pop over hip hop here. LL Cool J's song is just kind of annoying, and Aguilera's song was the first continuation of Britney Spears' "girl pop" movement in the late 90's. While I've professed how guilty I am of being a big Britney Spears fan, I'll go with Aguilera here. Fiona Apple- "Criminal" This would be my pick to go and win it all if I could pick one so far. Love the hell out of this song. Weezer- "Buddy Holly" Fuck a bunch of Toni Braxton. This is the song that made us all ashamedly listen to Weezer for a while. Nerd rock ftw. Mariah Carey- "Dreamlover" I've never liked U2 much and I seem to remember liking some Mariah, so this song is probably better. 'N Sync- "Tearin' Up My Heart" Normally, I'd go the other way around but I hate, hate, hate that Jay-Z song with a passion. Had it been another song it would've been an easy choice, but this was easier. Nirvana- "Heart Shaped Box" That's right. This is the better song. I know the other one is a landmark, but the temporary insanity from the chorus is awesome. And the video is a million times better, too. And this is an era where the video matters. Blink 182- "All The Small Things" Fun little song. Dammit was okay and from an era of Blink I liked better, but again, videos matters here. I identified more with this song than the other. Blur- "Song 2" OF ALL THE FUCKING BLUR SONGS, GIRLS AND BOYS?! Make it Coffee and TV and that would've been easy. That said, Song 2 reminds me of Starship Troopers trailers and moshing in my friend's room and being stupid, so I'm going with that. Stone Temple Pilots- "Interstate Love Song" I know this one just a bit better, and yeah. Pickin' it. Smashing Pumpkins- "1979" Same deal here. The weird "padabbdbtt" thing is kind of fun, too. Seal- "Kiss From A Rose" Oh come on, you can't even compare. The only thing salvageable from that awful Batman movie although I did have a thing for Alicia Silverstone- like, bad- and this was like my song to her or whatever. Shut up. The Cranberries- "Linger" I would've preferred Zombie in here, but this is a good choice. No Doubt- "Don't Speak" No competition. Spiderwebs was like on TV for a fucking second and then Don't Speak came out and No Doubt got huge from that. Spiderwebs is kind of a fun album filler song, but this one's a landmark. Alanis Morissette- "You Oughta Know" Angry Alanis is a lot better than one that doesn't know what Ironic means. Green Day- "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" Oh man. The quintessential "OH MY GOD GUYS HIGH SCHOOL'S REALLY OVER GOODBYE I'LL MISS YOU" song. Basket Case isn't even there. I maybe would've throwin Insomniac there, but eh. Oasis- "Wonderwall" This was pretty close for me, but I wouldn't have known about Oasis at all if it wasn't for Wonderwall, so I'll go with that. Maybe that makes a case for the latter, though? R.E.M.- "Losing My Religion" I'm a huge REM fan, and this is one of my favorite songs, so yeah. It's just so deeeeep, man. Meredith Brooks- "Bitch" This was tough but if I'm going for one 90's grrl power song here, it's this one. Tom Cochrane- "Life Is A Highway" Man things named Bush really suck. Besides, LIFE IS A HIIIIIIIGHWAAAAY. Third Eye Blind- "Semi-Charmed Life" Both songs are alright, but I remember my friend and I being total goofballs to this song. We sang it on like every ride at Magic Mountain once randomly, for the hell of it. It was kind of funny. Blind Melon- "No Rain" Oh, this might just go all the way. What a one hit wonder. Aerosmith- "Cryin'" Here's where my Alicia Silverstone crush comes into play. Much of my early masturbation had to happen to fuzzy paused scenes of her in white t-shirts. This song also applies to many, many, many of my ex-girlfriends. Love Waterfalls, though. Soundgarden- "Black Hole Sun" Oh man, this bracket has the toughest choices. I've gotta go with this one, though. Better than Spoooonmaaaaaaaaaaaan, too. MC Hammer- "U Can't Touch This" Fuck a bunch of Vanilla Ice. Parachute pants wins here. Skee-Lo- "I Wish" Ha, this was kind of my song when I played basketball for fairly obvious reasons. Naughty By Nature- "O.P.P." Man, I hate to be throwing so much hate Salt-N-Pepa's way, but this is another song that I'll just bring up and sing and people will laugh. YEA YOU KNOW ME. The Verve Pipe- "The Freshmen" Kinda tough here, and I had to youtube it to figure out which one I liked more. I'm surprised Bittersweet Symphony wasn't picked- come on people, Cruel Intentions!- but this song's pretty nice. Britney Spears- "...Baby One More Time" Oh FUCK. This is too hard. I'm going with Britney because she has a slim chance of winning it anyways and I'm sticking to my loyalties. The Fugees- "Killing Me Softly With His Song" You know, Wannabe was by far the worst Spice Girls song. Everyone HATED them for that one, and rightfully so, but their other songs were okay. I don't care much for the Fugees, but this one was alright. Dr. Dre (feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg)- "Nuthin But A G Thang" No, fuck Bryan Adams. I think I was too young to be into him at the time. But Dre and Snoop? Ha. Awww yeah. I still listen to the first Chronic a lot, so this was easy. The Verve- "Bittersweet Symphony" THERE IT IS. Man, that scene in Cruel Intentions is just.. so bittersweet! I watched that movie like a million times in high school. Some girl said I looked like Ryan Phillippe, but shorter and with a shaved head and I took that and just totally ran with it. He's such a badass in that movie, but I hated Reese Witherspoon and her pointy chin. Oh yeah, where was I? Bittersweet Symphony? Great song. Run with it. Beastie Boys- "Sabotage" Another song that wins by virtue of its long-lasting and replay power. The Cardigans- "Lovefool" This song was supposedly on the Romeo + Juliet (Dicaprio/Danes version obv.) soundtrack, which is just really weird. Also used in Cruel Intentions, so I gotta go with it. Offspring- "Self Esteem" One of the first songs I remember really liking when I started liking actual music. I think it was the first song I sang at karaoke, and then it ended with a bunch of people singing "I'M TOO SEXY FOR MY SHIRT" which ended with my 11 year old self going shirtless. I was most definitely not a sucka with no self esteem. Soul Asylum- "Runaway Train" Both of these songs kinda suck, but I'll go with the one I didn't mind less. Semisonic- "Closing Time" Talk about a song that came and went quickly. You make a reference to this song today, no one knows it, same with like a year after it came out. But when it was out, it was POPULAR, man. Especially at every job I held in food service at the time. Red Hot Chili Peppers- "Under The Bridge" Not a fan of Collective Soul. Radiohead- "Creep" Finally, some Radiohead love. Knowing this board, it just might go all the way. Presidents of the United States of America- "Lump" I crashed my car to this once. It was a lot better when I heard it first in middle school and enjoyed the video. Pearl Jam- "Evenflow" Hey, Pearl Jam's coming out with a new album. Good for them. This was an okay song. Sheryl Crow- "All I Wanna Do" This song, like, made Sheryl Crow. She was hot then and I think she's still pretty hot now. It's a pretty fun little song, and one I think goes over better than the other one. Joan Osborne- "One Of Us" Mya was fucking HOT, but for some reason I really liked this song. I remember making video mixes of stuff on VH1, and this was one of the songs I had recorded on my tape. Sinead O'Connor- "Nothing Compares 2 U" I don't even know the other song. Sinead was an icon (for about 15 minutes, anyways), and this was her song. Nada Surf- "Popular" This was on my 96 mix, and I was starting to buy CDs around this time. I liked this song and bought the CD and was wholly disappointed with everything else, but this was a good hit. Marcy Playground- "Sex and Candy" As much as I want to vote a Faith No More song, I've gotta go with a song that introduced me to the concept that sex can have a particular smell. Guns N Roses- "November Rain" Fucking EPIC.(ly gay). Lesser of two evils. Lisa Loeb- "Stay (I Missed You)" YES HOT GIRLS WITH GLASSES. I've missed you too, Lisa Loeb. Hootie and the Blowfish- "I Only Wanna Be With You" Ha, Everclear blows. Did you know they're from Portland? I always assumed they were Southern California, just because they had that look and sound to them. Anyways, I liked Hootie a lot as a little kid, although the video doesn't make much sense. It's cool, though. Harvey Danger- "Flagpole Sitta" Oh yeah! I still listen to this song every now and then. Garbage- "Only Happy When It Rains" Another one I still listen to. Jesus christ, how many fucking more choices do I have to make here? I liked "The Way" a lot though, and got it confused with "Popular" for some reason, even though they had nothing to do with one another aside from getting airplay. However, the Garbage song is pretty much my theme for winter/spring in Portland. Juvenile- "Back That Azz Up" I could've swore this was like early 2000s? Either way, win. Foo Fighters- "Everlong" Pretty much the only song of theirs I really like. Man that took a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 Extreme- "More Than Words" I love this song. It's better than "November Rain" on so many levels. OK, look bud. It's fine not to like GNR. And I certainly understand not liking "November Rain." But to suggest that "More Than Words," or any Extreme song for that matter, is actually good is just crazy talk.

LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2009 So here we go: I've compiled a list of 128 songs using sources including but not limited to your nominations and have bracketed them into four regions. I obviously wasn't able to get everything that was mentioned or even everything that I wanted into the tournament, but I think it's a pretty good group of songs. Make sure that it's obvious which song you're voting for, only posts that include votes in each matchup will be counted, and it'd be nice to see explanations for why you're voting the way that you are. This round will probably last until Thursday or so. Toad the Wet Bracket Salt-N-Pepa- "Whatta Man" Backstreet Boys- "I Want It That Way" Montell Jordan- "This Is How We Do It" Goo Goo Dolls- "Iris" The Breeders- "Cannonball" Snoop Doggy Dogg- "Gin and Juice" Kris Kross- "Jump" Deee-Lite- "Groove Is In The Heart" Sarah McLachlan- "Building a Mystery" Ricky Martin- "Livin La Vida Loca" Sixpence None The Richer- "Kiss Me" L.L.
