Hello everyone! Sorry for the delays in getting these up, I got sick and couldn’t force myself to do spreadsheet entries.

But here we have our seeding round for all the 439 songs nominated, sorted alphabetically by song title. To ease Disqus’ problems with so many embeds, I’ve split the seeding round into two threads. It’ll cause me a slight headache to sort them by upvotes, but I figure it’s worth it to give y’all a fighting chance to at least see each entry.

These posts will remain up from now until Saturday 3/16 at 2PM Eastern, (Update, 9PM) and each will include helpful links to the other so you don’t miss anything.

A few songs I wound up not including because they blurred the line of “cover” or I just couldn’t find “originals” even with the help of Herr Google. I DID decide to include instrumentals… I was wondering if such things were really “covers” or were “arrangements” but decided that was a distinction without a difference. I also decided that because I didn’t prohibit artists whose whole repertoire is covers (though it wasn’t my intention), I had to include them. But hopefully there will be another tourney for PMJ later on.
