So as a way to kill some down time until the next batch of Jacket shows, I thought it would be an opportune time to revive the ole Jacket Bracket Attack. I'd like to thank Xmas Criminal for putting this together what seems like many many years ago and Easy Way for the name. Sure it's not March Madness time but it'll have to work.
Starting next Monday, a number of song vs. song matchups will be posted. Generally speaking, you'll have 24 hours to post your picks at which point those matchups will lock and the next batch will be released ready to be voted on. I urge any and all lurkers to sign up and vote if only for that reason. The more that participate the better. Also please don't be shy in your choices. If you like You Wanna Freak Out more than the Bear, I won't kill you but may poop on your lawn a little.
The 128 songs listed in the other thread have been randomized using a random generator. There will be some tough early matchups as well as rarity battles. Almost all the tracks should be available on youtube. If you don't have access to a song I'm sure many here would be happy to send it your way. Just PM someone.
Please feel free to post any questions here until the tournament begins. Perhaps this may influence some Port Chester Spontaneous Curation :evil:
If I'm amazed and good intentions get put up against each other, it's gonna make two easy choices into one hard one

I wish we could omit covers from this, but that'd mean we'd have to find 8 new songs or so. CBB is too rare a track and the only one I can think of off the top of my head. so thats not 8.
Excited by this, so bring it on. Time to piss off a bunch of peeps :evil:.
I'm sure there will be what many will perceive as unbalanced brackets. I just let the machine take over. New groups will be posted and old ones will be closed approximately every 24 hours on weekdays. Please try to get your votes in sooner than later so they get in before a group closes.

Lyrically, and live, Victory Dance is more substantial, dense, epic.
Victory Dance vs. TIWTCWY was the toughest choice for me, neither is a super-favorite, but I love them both, didn't have a strong preference.

Man, I think you know how I love Lil Billy ("give it to me!"), but Easy Morning Rebel is also a true monster, and no little sister to Dancefloors. In keeping with the above reference, it's kinda like Omar vs. Chris Partlow.

Devil's Peanut Butter and Sweetheart are both great tracks! Sweetheart has a haunting/yearning feel that you don't hear much in the newer songs. IWSYS edges out Devil's Peanut Butter because there's just more emotional connection that comes with it. The performance of it on OKONOKOS is a highlight of the film.

"What Will I Do?" is track 2 on Chapter 1 The Sandworm Cometh: Early Recordings, as bluesky pointed out.

No. 7 will definitely be the biggest blowout. That's why I had to throw some love to Highly Officious. It just didn't stand a chance. Now I'd like to see what happens if/when Steam Engine goes head to head with Don.

Since I went on like a mental patient about the Remnants encore (or lack thereof) it may be surprising that I picked Smokin'. However, I am a huge fan of Smokin', some of my favorite MMJ lyrics ever to be written. But that was a very hard decision for me!

Smokin' has always been one of my favorites - but last night at midnight Remnants sounded better. The ridiculous matchup for me was Aluminum Park and One in the Same.

It's crazy how different Jim's voice sounds on I Won't Cry, and a few others from ch 1 and 2. Tyrone vs. Evil Urges was my toughest decision, Evil Urges being one of my favorites from EU.

whew..i thought i missed it today....
Are we sure he hasn't had an accident?
Hey sorry guys. I was thinking maybe Mon-Thursday would good because it is when most people jump on here. Plus I had some real crappy stuff to deal with yesterday. My apologies again. I'll post the new matchups here in a bit and they'll be up through Monday.

Realizing over the course of these votes that I go pretty big for the covers, which kinda makes me feel yucky inside. But to paraphrase an old-timer on this board (can't remember which), in a thread about loving the band, 'they're the best live band, rock band, soul band, and COVER band around' or something to that effect. I love the covers...

How can people not vote strangulation!? The only songs I'd have a hard time with going up against that beast is Phone, Steam or Dondante, or O is the One. Let's just hope it never gets to that...

Speaking as one of what appears to be only a couple people who didn't vote Strangulation, here's my explanation. Z was my introduction to the band, and the songs off that album (off the record) will always hold a special place in my heart. I like Strangulation, not just a little, a lot, but for me it's not Steam Engine, or PWW, or War Begun, or a multitude of other songs, all of which I would have voted for over Off The Record (and certainly Dondonte too). Anyway, we all have our favorites, for various reasons, and I actually like Off The Record better than Strangulation.

It makes no sense to me that you am others are voting They Ran over Twilight. I guess that's the point of this, though.

There is something about They Ran, it was one of the first songs from their debut that grabbed me. Twilight is good too and this one was a tough decision, but They Ran edges it out on my end.
Strangulation has just so much more emotion and depth to it imo. Off the Record is great; it just isn't one the same level of Strangulation. I understand Z being your intro record and Off the Record having a deeper meaning to you in that way. Strangulation live is much better than Off the Record.

Strangulation is definitely better all in all, that was just the toughest choice so far. I actually find myself being a Z hater a lot. Might be my second least liked next to Circuital.

This one was easiest. Love all the songs I picked. Really don't like the songs I didn't pick.

seriously. there are a lot of great songs this round. Its a "weak" round for me because the choices are sooooo easy. 8 great songs and 8 less than great songs/covers. Though, I can see how people wouldn't like some of these songs (Golden, WH, IJWTS, HDYN, Come Closer. )

Rob thanks for doing the bracket! I look forward to it everyday!
You're welcome Val! My pleasure. I'm glad some people are taking part. I continue to hope that more people will vote once we reach the second round. :beer:

Man guys this is the nature of the vote. Random match ups. Vote. It's your right.
I think if we listed the 128 songs all at once an let everyone vote on 19 or whatever, we'd get the same results. People are still gonna vote the shit out of steam engine and shit

You're not old, Trish. :wink: /ducking
At Dawn Bonus Track is referring to the untitled track at the end of the official At Dawn release. Holy is the next track right after It's Been a Great 3 or 4 Years on Chocolate & Ice!

Is New Morning a Dylan cover? If so all the more reason to vote for it. the ones that I'm ignorant of, I again abstained from voting. I need more time discovering these rarities before I can have an informed opinion, but its a great way to be reminded of what I still need to check out, so thanks!

Great first round. I can't believe some songs that I voted off and others that I voted thru to round two. Maybe we can get the NCAA to rank the songs before the tourney so the first round match ups aren't so tough (Sarcasm there. I do like the randomness of it all.)

Just a reminder, I personally randomized the daily matchups so no one can predict the next ones in Round 2. I enjoyed it that I had no idea what xmas criminal was going to post the next day.

Appears the only real contest here is X-Mas Curtain vs. It Makes No Difference, the rest are blowouts. That was a tough matchup for me too.
I think this round is gonna end up having some close ones though...
Edit: actually, How Do You Know vs. Just Because I Do is a battle as well. Which is kinda funny, since the second answers the first.
Here it is fellas! The ranking is here. I don't think I missed anything. There were some songs with the same amount of votes, so I just picked what I personally felt was the more likely to win of the two to be the higher seed. 4 songs per seed with 16 seeds total. Enjoy!

The 1 seeds surprise me, but then again it just depends on what song it was pitted against. And go O is the One!!!!!!!
Anytime as a 16 seed is crazy! I love that song!
5 seeds are some of the strongest songs imo.
1. Lay Low v. The Dark
2. TMIGS I v. Wear Your Love Like Heaven
3. Aluminum Park v. One in the Same
4. Chills v. El Caporal
5. Smokin' v. Remnants

8. TMIGS II v. Mamama
Lay Low
TMIGS I
One in the Same
Smokin'
Cobra

TMIGS II
Not hard this time. One in the Same especially. What a no-brainer.
Strangulation and Hopefully in 8th seed? What in the world? And War Begun?
1. Just Because I Do (one of the toughest choices)
2. Bermuda Highway
3. Xmas Curtain
4. Mahgeetah
What is going on? Did I miss something? I thought we were voting on the four songs from group 1 in the second round that Ruckus put up?
Now there's seedings and a group of eight I see referenced no where else? I am so confused...

It'll be ok, Sisyphus.
Anytime being a 16th seed is crazy, a top 5 song of their catalog.
Just a heads up that this might have to take a week off. The last two major storms that hit here, Irene and this years's derecho, knocked out our power for 8 and 7 days respectively. I am anticipating the same this time around as well. Stay safe everyone!

Keep us posted y'all. Poor college student here. I'm pullin for one in the same as the dark horse.
i cant tell if that was a serious response to the roll call statement
The roll call thing better not be. I will eventually do it, but I am a poor college student and MMJ rarely comes to Indiana anyways. I was assuming it was a joke, but who knows. Haha.

Looks like Cobra is crushing golden. I'm a little surprised. I'm pretty sick of Golden and am happy it's no longer a guaranteed on the setlists, but I respect it's historical significance like almost no other song. I guess it depends what we are voting for. Song we like better? Song we most want to hear at next concert? To borrow from another thread, I'd never recommend a newbie listen to Cobra. They'd never get through it without losing patience.
I'm overthinking it, huh?

Not at all. I'm thinking along the same lines. Cobra is good, epic, used to be rare. But Golden is more accessible and, while overplayed to nuts like us with 20+ shows under our belts, pretty classic acoustic MMJ.
I LOVE Golden. It's one of my favorite songs, ever. But I'm basing my choices on what I'll enjoy listening to more on the radio, at a show, whatever. I guess Golden has more sentimental value, but Cobra is an eargasm.
1. Holding on to Black Metal - just cause it is a very fun live song

I love it too. In fact, I think it may be the most beautiful song Jim's written, but I voted for Cobra because, as much as I love Golden, Cobra is more fun to hear at a show.
Thank you for continuing to do this Ruckus and glad you made it through the storms safely!

Toughest round yet. Golden is a classic, but I can't think of another song like Cobra. Both are special, but Cobra is unique,..... there's nothing like it. It's a total upper (is that a word?) when Cobra comes on the headphones or during a show. But Golden would get the vote if it's which song is better and more appropriate when introducing someone to MMJ.

Come Closer 27 - Holding on to Black Metal 5
I Will Be There When You Die 20 - Master Plan 12
Cobra 24 - Golden 8
Dondante 29 - Heartbreakin' Man 3
Crazy to see 4 favorites go so early
As I have listened to Come Closer a couple more times, I retroactively change my vote from Black Metal to Come Closer (call it a hanging chad). That is a great song.

Just One Thing is great, but I can't believe that Wordless Chorus is gonna get voted off. Seriously, Just One Thing is great, but WORDLESS CHORUS?
I don't know, I guess that's why we all have preferences, and Z was the first album I really got into - so maybe that's part of it, but Wordless is a definite top 10, probably top 5, maybe top 3 for me. Sure, Steam Engine, Dondante, War Begun maybe, and a few other I might vote over it if I ended up having to choose them head to head, but not Just One Thing.
'We are the innovators..., They are the imitators..., COME ON!' :cheesy:
I don't know, maybe others feel like that's cheesy, but for me, that's one of my top Jacket tingling moments - goose bumps, hair standing on end, all that shit.
Anyway, it's probably too late and I know this isn't a 'make your case' for the song thread, but I just couldn't help myself.
Pardon me...

Agreed. I'd say most hardcore jacket fans have a little pre-Z bias and we've been seein that with this bracket big time!

Agreed, yeah Wordless is perhaps overplayed, but it no way is Just One Thing a better song. Wordless is My Morning Jacket.
I was gonna put in my two cents to defend Just One Thing, then saw that I chose Wordless. I'm not going to change my vote, but its a close call. Defining MMJ by Z works for some, but It Still Moves is my defining moment. I discovered MMJ one month before the release of Evil Urges, yet ISM seems the perfect balance of where MMJ came from and where they were heading. Z is great, Wordless is iconic, hell, I voted for it. But Just One Thing is a great song.
Any given Sunday.

That is hilarious. I, too, thought it was a close call. Wordless was one of my first absolute faves (just like Stan.) But over time I've tired of it a little. I still love it but DAMN Just One Thing is soooo good.

I love Wordless Chorus and I actually chose it first. But then changed my mind at the last minute 'cause I measured both songs on the "goosebump meter" and Just One Thing won by a hair. A very difficult decision though.

It's a great song but was never one of my favorites. I'm often suprised that it became such a live staple. Just One Thing, on the other hand is the song that got me into MMJ in the first place. Unfortunately it is never/very rarely played live so i think it is in need of some love
I agree Wordless losing to Just?
Hell, Just isn't even in the top 8 on ISM
Steam Engine, OBH, Mahgeetah, Dancefloors, Golden, Master Plan, IWSYS, Run Thru...
Then Just One Thing (and that throws out Easy Morning Rebel, Rollin' Back, which may or may not be better).
Of course, that said, ISM is an incredible album, and to have 8 greats and 3 almost greats on one album is impressive.
And especially live, Wordless blows away Just. JMHO.
Rollin Back is possibly my favorite Jacket song

Just sayin' that Wordless and Just One Thing needs some more votes one way or the other. Tis tied
Wordless and Just are both 2 and 3 seeds (both received 23 votes last round).
Let's go Wordless!
I prefer Rollin' Back to Master Plan if we were going to label ISM's best 8 tracks, other than that those listings were spot on. Steam Engine and Run Thru being the two best imo.

I love Just One Thing, it's one of their most romantic songs. But it shouldn't beat out Wordless Chorus, Wordless is like a milestone in their musical progression. Their literally isn't a single song by any other band that sounds like Wordless Chorus. Truly creative, groundbreaking stuff. This is a song that other bands wish they thought of first. Also one of the highlights of seeing them live this year.

It really pains me to vote against Gideon, but Lay Low is my favorite MMJ song. Can't get enough of the dual lead guitars near the end of that song, its freakin' awesome how they are locked in unison and then separate into their own paths exploding into a rock guitar frenzy. Gideon is so climactic at the end and has such great lyrics, I hate that I had to pick one or the other. Kinda like Sophie's Choice. I love Moving Away too, one of their great ballads, but how can you not vote One Big Holiday?

Lay Low vs Gideon has been the hardest choice for me so far. I can't argue with any of the dual guitar love everyone's saying, but for me, the lyrics of Gideon are so special, coupled with one of my favorite songs to sing along (poorly) too. I can get my guitar fix from other songs.

The Bear is one of my favorite songs. I hope to see it go to the last round (and maybe even come out as #1 ). I'm still salty about Wordless Chorus beating out Just One Thing a couple days ago though but it's all good... :rolleyes:

Hard to vote against War Begun and Strangulation, but Anytime, like Lay Low, is the straight up rock of MMJ that I love so much and what first got me into the band. And At Dawn, while short, tells such a rich story in just a few short lines. Something about it is so compelling and inspiring to me. The Abbey Road-like vocal chorus in that opens Rolling Back is so rad! I'm not really a fan of the reggae rhythm of Phone Went West, not a tough one there for me.

Sounds like a disgruntled voter. Maybe stuffing the ballot boxes and suppressing some votes. Recount is in order. To go from not typing his own votes to suddenly doing all this work..... this is Highly Suspicious.
Does sarcasm come thru in Bracket Attack threads??

I gotta say, this was a particularly weak round for me, and it bummed me out about some of the songs that have been voted off already. Sure, some great songs here, but there have been a couple songs voted off that I would have voted over all eight of these. Oh well, it's random, and it'll all shake out in the end.

Really got a kick out of this. Love the theory of Orgasm Style. My votes:
1. Come Closer
2. Wordless Chorus
3. It Beats 4 U
4. Dondante
I just want to say that Dondante should win. It's genius. In fact, should it come down to Steam Engine and Dondante - which are the two most genius songs in the catalog - Dondante trumps Steam. But I voted for War Begun because the beauty of it live that we've had recently is so much fresher than Dondante. I hate to be prejudiced because I've heard one of them live more than the other, but right now that's how I feel. In sixth months it could be different.

Not a huge Dondante fan here. I believe Steam should and will win it all. Dondante vs. Steam would be just about the most epic ending to this possible, though.

4. Dondante Oh, this one is so tough, I don't know. War Begun is such a well written and emotional song and live its just so sweetly soulful. Not crazy about the studio version. But Dondante is such a warhorse, so epic and so deeply emotional to the band, I just can't vote against it. Dondante it is.

Dondante
As far as Steam Engine vs Dondante is concerned, Dondante is a truly emotional epic masterpiece, but it lacks in the build-up department. In other words, Dondante builds up to the climax at about 3:30 and then the rest of the song is the falling action (great falling action, but it isn't building towards anything for the rest of the song). Steam Engine builds beautifully, both lyrically and musically, to about 3/4 the way into the song and then has the climax and fall. More build up is always great! Hope that makes some sense. Regardless, Dondante and Steam Engine are two of the best songs in MMJ's archive.

This was actually my first MMJ show sadly as I was out of town for both Lolla and the auditorium shows. I did get to both Milwaukee/Chicago this summer. For my first show, Milwaukee couldn't have been more amazing, especially since Strangulation was what I was pulling for in the months leading up to the show! It was a very At Dawn heavy set and I loved it. I can't wait for NYE (3rd show). Just moved to Austin, Texas so I'm hoping they come down South on their next tour seeing as how they skipped Texas all together this year.

Strangulation - This wasn't easy, but Strangulation is one of my favorite MMJ songs and seeing it played this year in Milwaukee really took it to another level!
The Bear
Mahgeetah
Just Because I Do
Milwaukee was the first and only time I have heard Strangulation live and wow did it not dissappoint! Really wish they would play this more.
CHIMMJFAN
This was actually my first MMJ show sadly as I was out of town for both Lolla and the auditorium shows. I did get to both Milwaukee/Chicago this summer. For my first show, Milwaukee couldn't have been more amazing, especially since Strangulation was what I was pulling for in the months leading up to the show! It was a very At Dawn heavy set and I loved it. I can't wait for NYE (3rd show). Just moved to Austin, Texas so I'm hoping they come down South on their next tour seeing as how they skipped Texas all together this year.
Yeah I agree, the Milwaukee show was actually better than the Chicago show (although it was very cool to hear I'll Be There When You Die). I'm flying out for NYE as well!

Alright I don't think you're still in here, a search is in order!!!
AHHHHH FOUND YAAAA!!! Drats, I'm not nearly on top of my shit.... I'm like, wayyy underneath of it, near the bottom.
But I've risen and see the light! So, I wondered how ewind figured that out; but figured I must've left enough redundant posts with the song in it that it was commoner knowledge than I'd suspected. But you!! In my best Bob Dylan voice,
I know, that YOU know.... 'cause of you're the man, like that. So, from the bottom of my heart will I thank you for thinking of me, and I am deeply sorry to have missed the real live chance to vote for it!! Never again!!! I'm glad it won!!

tough tough choice as The Bear is in my top 5 too, but damn, there's just no way I could vote against Mahgeetah. So many of my fond live MMJ memories revolve around that song: good times on the rail when they pause and go into the extended outro- always a party!! (second only to dancefloors IMO). Some versions w/ Bo ripping it on keys... getting the Magh33tah point-up to the seats from my friends at MSG. It's just an enormous part of my love for the band.

I feel like there's something wrong with me. Blasphemy, I know, but I don't get the excess love for The Bear. It's a fine song sure, very good really, but one of the bands best? I just don't get it. In the early rounds, sure there are always preferences which differed, and I guess I can even see how someone might like it more than Mahgeetah (not really :rolleyes:), but I'm hearing some real dedication for The Bear. I love, love, really love Smokin', and Anytime, and Lowdown, but as amazing as they are, they aren't the songs to which I've hooked my Jacket wagon. But it appears others feel pretty strongly about The Bear.
So enlighten me. What am I missing? The lyrics are alright, kinda mysterious, and maybe allegorical/metaphorical, but I don't get a 'wow'. Then again, I am not really a lyrics guy, I just pick out a few phrases from a song I can relate to and remember. There's decent jam/freak out at the end of the song and it definitely 'builds' from a strange start - which is one of my favorite aspects of Jacket songs, but I am not feeling the magic. Without diverting the Jacket Bracket thread too much, can someone explain what I'm missing?

I actually switched from The Bear to Mahgeetah. Exist is right, Mahgeetah is the better song. I feel like most of us MMJ freaks are burnt out on Mahgeetah and find The Bear as rare and alluring. However, this is suppose to be about the better song, not the lesser played song. Mahgeetah is played at almost every show for a reason.

For some of us, it's about the interpretation and the resulting shitstorm that followed when the song was interpreted to be about a large, hairy gay man (the bear). For others, we just love large, hairy men - gay or not. And then for others, the song is dark, murky and fucking awesome. Granted, there can be some overlap, as well, due to the fact that I fall into all three categories.
Also, Mahgeetah is a great song, but I find I'm more drawn to the darker songs. I'll never tire hearing either song, but I like the ugliness the theme of The Bear examines. It's more complex and difficult, where Mahgeetah is a joyful, upbeat song that is much easier to love in many ways. It doesn't take as much thought because it's easier to enjoy the light hearted, carefree joy of the song. My students often complain that every poem we read on my class is about death, and they do have a point.

It would never end and that would be awesome.
I voted Mahgeetah but I love The Bear. Been pondering how to articulate what I love about it. I like the music that goes from a quiet reflective opening to a cathartic triumph.
But its the lyrics that really do it for me, although they aren't poetry in that they aren't as powerful without the accompanying music. Put both music and lyrics together and its greater than the sum of the parts, as most good songs are.
I see it as in the same vein as At Dawn, a song about standing up for your dreams, visions, and ideals and refusing to be pulled down by the naysayers, the pull of the average and the mediocre and shooting for a lofty target of a life's path. While in At Dawn, its the steely blade that cuts down the naysayers with violence, in The Bear, the protagonist has a more compassionate view towards those who would do him harm (those who have "lost touch with their bleeding hearts"), as if he could pull them back from their own darkness with love and understanding. (I often thought that Sticky needed to receive some of this love, if he were not too closed off to receive it)
"There's still time for you to come forward with whatever killed your spark"
I get a vision of Jim James (because I choose to believe that both songs are largely autobiographical) as a saintly spiritual pilgrim, bringing his benelovence and childlike amazement of the experience of life and his passion for living life to the fullest and following dreams, trusting his inner vision and all that kind of stuff.
Its a short song, but for me, its very rich, at least how I interpret it. For me, its awesome and mystical and it carries a very important and inspiring message. It shows me that Jim's life-path is a model for how to live life. That's a pretty big burden for me to place on him, but I think his spirit is big and strong enough to accept that role, at least for a few moments to a few people.
The Bear and what it means to me is a big part of what sets MMJ apart from almost every other one of their contemporaries. To me, they are functioning on an entirely higher level of artistic vision and proficiency than all those other bands. Jim James is a very special artist and the band he's gathered around him strengthens him and makes his art stronger. That's why I love The Bear.
Steam Engine
The Bear (This was an impossible decision)
So I don't want to be a tiebreaker so if others want to jump in that would be great! I'll leave it open until tonight before I post the next round.

I voted Mahgeetah but I love The Bear. Been pondering how to articulate what I love about it. I like the music that goes from a quiet reflective opening to a cathartic triumph.
But its the lyrics that really do it for me, although they aren't poetry in that they aren't as powerful without the accompanying music. Put both music and lyrics together and its greater than the sum of the parts, as most good songs are.
I see it as in the same vein as At Dawn, a song about standing up for your dreams, visions, and ideals and refusing to be pulled down by the naysayers, the pull of the average and the mediocre and shooting for a lofty target of a life's path. While in At Dawn, its the steely blade that cuts down the naysayers with violence, in The Bear, the protagonist has a more compassionate view towards those who would do him harm (those who have "lost touch with their bleeding hearts"), as if he could pull them back from their own darkness with love and understanding. (I often thought that Sticky needed to receive some of this love, if he were not too closed off to receive it)
"There's still time for you to come forward with whatever killed your spark"
I get a vision of Jim James (because I choose to believe that both songs are largely autobiographical) as a saintly spiritual pilgrim, bringing his benelovence and childlike amazement of the experience of life and his passion for living life to the fullest and following dreams, trusting his inner vision and all that kind of stuff.
Its a short song, but for me, its very rich, at least how I interpret it. For me, its awesome and mystical and it carries a very important and inspiring message. It shows me that Jim's life-path is a model for how to live life. That's a pretty big burden for me to place on him, but I think his spirit is big and strong enough to accept that role, at least for a few moments to a few people.
The Bear and what it means to me is a big part of what sets MMJ apart from almost every other one of their contemporaries. To me, they are functioning on an entirely higher level of artistic vision and proficiency than all those other bands. Jim James is a very special artist and the band he's gathered around him strengthens him and makes his art stronger. That's why I love The Bear.
THIS! ^
Just a note, despite Shug's wonderful articulation of why he loves The Bear, he still voted for Mahgeetah, which is now down a few votes. I won't be crushed if The Bear wins of course, but I am still pulling for Mahgeetah. :grin:
hardest choice of the competition for me. We all lose on this one. :cry: :grin:

I am in the same boat, and arguing for Mahgeetah for fun more than anything else. What would a Bracket be without upsets?

These two songs (and add in Steam Engine, too) define MMJ for me. OBH is such a huge, powerful, joyful celebration of following one's dreams. The solos at the end are epic and the momentum of the song keeps building to a glorious explosion of youthful energy.
Dondante is the same for me as OBH, except it's the yin to OBH's yang. It's so personal and painful and delicate but at the same time it roars against pain and loss. Again: epic solos! And underneath the whole thing is this kind of dangerously sexy vibe that drives forward achingly.
Hate to vote against Where to Begin but come on, as many times as I've heard it, OBH!

This was super difficult, especially #2. These two songs emotionally slay me, which I love, can't get enough slaying. It goes back to first loves for this one....Dondante was one of my first MMJ songs, and it was the one that I just played over and over and over. Mesmerized.
OBH was the first song I ever saw them do live (Roseland 06) and the whole curtain flying down thing just knocked me out! Love these guys!

This was much easier to vote for than the last round. I love Wordless, but Phone is just unbelievable. Particularly the way it has grown over this past summer. There was no contest on the second choice. It just gets me every time even though TWTHS is a great song, it doesn't pack the emotional punch of IWBTWYD.

1. Wordless Chorus
2. The Way That He Sings
The first MMJ I heard was Wordless Chorus and It Beats 4 U. It didn't grab me because of the electronic beats, and it wasn't until several years later after watching Okonokos that I got into MMJ and was kinda amazed that I was liking something with mechanistic electronics. But it was the way they blended them with their heart-and-soul passion and rocking out that did it for me. So Wordless is special to me because it made me like something I don't typically like. I don't dig reggae jams (or should I say more nicely the awesomeness of Phone Went West has not yet been apparent to me :grin:) and I prefer a full band rocking out to acoustic sparseness when it comes to MMJ. Easy choices for me. Way He Sings is so damn catchy, what a great and joyful riff and melody!

this is really impossible...IWBTWYD is the first MMJ song I ever heard!....

I was going to go PWW/IWBTWYD, but I think I have to go with
Wordless
TWTHS
I'm tired of Wordless, I really am...but it was one of my first loves. And I absolutely LOVE PWW, but it doesn't really convey classic MMJ, IMO. Wordless turned Stan into an uber-fan the second he heard it, and I get that.
Round 4 Group 4 begins. Last group before the Elite 8.
1. Phone Went West v. Wordless Chours
2. The Way That He Sings v. I Will Be There When You Die
PWW and Wordless beats both of the 2nd part hands down.
I can honestly say, the 2nd show I went to, RCMH in 2007, the only song I did not know was PWW and was blown away. That said, we are, the innovators, defines this band.
My Morning Jacket - *Phone Went West* - Red Rocks (August 4, 2012) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6EcbOwymng#ws)
My Morning Jacket - Wordless Chorus (Live on Letterman) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tngOSBtDP0M#ws)
It think the are both on Steroids and I cannot vote for either.
After I watched both and...

The second I feel equal about both...

This is easily the most difficult 4 for me, and I have been holding off voting. With some of the other difficult choices, and the past two weeks has all been difficult, I was able to come to fairly quick and concise decisions. There was just one of the pair or group I couldn't not vote for, hence my entreaties for certain songs (Mahgeetah), it's not here - it's almost impossible to not vote for any of these and I have almost no preference. Suffice to say, I won't be lobbying for a particular song from this group, because I can completely understand voting for the other options.
That said, even as one of my very favorite and with the amazing Red Rocks version fresh in my mind, I am going to vote against Phone. I love the reggae vibe that outside the box aspect is what makes it one of their best. But, Wordless was probably my first favorite Jacket song, as Z was the first album I heard. Plus, breaking the tie, Wordless is my wife's favorite Jacket song, and she only likes maybe a half-dozen anyway, so that has to count for something. TWHS gets the nod, only because my preference is for rockers over folkers, but I love them both. IWBTWYD is maybe my favorite folker in the whole catalogue, but I can't get shake (thankfully) the memory of TWHS at the Wiltern.

Next time someone's at Red Rocks MMJ when I can't be there, if you have an out of body experience, please alert me so that I may take over the vessel for those couple minutes! :lipsrsealed:
OK, I still don't know if I can make decisions... maybe I should have stayed out of the thread after all :undecided: But, let's see....
Guess I might try
1. Phone Went West (strongly encouraging the group to do more slightly reggae riddims... or more blatant ones!) and
2. I Will Be There When You Die (Wearing a Sombrero) The Way That He Sings was the first song that hooked me to the MMJ fishing line. I had no idea what he was singing everytime I heard it on public radio, and I never cared, I just loved it. Until one day I needed to at least find out the name of the song. Then upon finding out that it wasn't the words that he said, or the band.................... the rest is herstory. Oh, but um... I Will Be There When You Die hugs my heart and tugs all the heartstrings around, in a serious way. Figuring that I shouldn't duck out of TWO votes.... (tho I can't promise it won't happen again in the future) I'll go with IWBT.
I may not be able to keep going as we near the end picks, tho. :embarrassed:

Sorry Fully, I have to go with OBH. This song *IS* MMJ. The content, the epic solo, the arena rock blast of unbridled rock joy, an anthem for all rock dreams... I don't care if it's been played at 99% of all shows ever since 1998, OBH remains one of the best tunes of its kind by this band and one of the best of this era.
And Steam is, well, Steam. God damn those shaky knees? Whoo! This song is complex, changing and inspired.

I think we can pretty much crown the winner of #1 for the title of this go around.
Yeah I think we can easily say
1 steam
2 Dante
3 obh
4 TWTHS
Though, I'd like TWTHS to win this round
OBH
TWTHS
I don't think OBH should beat Phone Went West. Phone is always changing and evolving on stage, but OBH is still the same old rock jam that it was years ago, even though it truly is a great song.
ewind, I totally agree.

Really? 3 out of 4 deserve to be here. I love TWTHS, but my god how did this back in.
Steam, Dondante. Lay Low should have been the 4th.
Lay Low was robbed. TWTHS isn't even in the top 10 for me.
Lay Low 29 - The Dark 4
Lay Low 26 - Gideon 10
Lay Low 25 - O is the One 10
Lay Low 29 - Lowdown 9
Steam Engine 27 - Lay Low 8
The Way that he Sings 30 - Circuital 2
The Way That He Sings 25 - If All Else Fails 6
The Way That He Sings 27 - TMIGS II 5
The Way That He Sings 29 - I Will Be There When You Die 7
The Way That He Sings 19 - The Bear 18
Lay Low had an extremely tough run through the bracket. Great showing from lay low regardless of losing to the steam
1. Steam Engine
2. TWTHS
I'm surprised that TWTHS beat TMIGTS Pt 2 so easily though. The mind boggles.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised about that too.
Steam Engine drips emotion, speaks of mysteries and is an epic jam, winner!
The Way That He Sings this song really is fantastic to me. But I'm really into catchy riffs and melodies, I just dig classic pop songcraft and this one has that in spades, I love it!
I also think Lay Low belongs in the final four, at least. I'd not disagree if it ended up #1.

Ditto, but looking back at the last Bracket Attack, TWTHS made a strong showing there too, getting to the final 8 and also being the highest placing song from AD.
Obviously, Steam, OBH, and Dondante will always be in the the top 3 and most likely in that order.
We need a round robin tournament with TWTHS, PWW, TMIGTS Pt 2, Lay Low to see who is the true #4 song is.

Based upon the exit polls, it appears that we can declare winners for the semifinals...
Projected winners
Steam Engine
Dondante
Just as Nate Silver had projected... Wait.... Wait... This just in...
Karl Rove has stated that Ohio may swing to OBH and TWHS...
He states there is an late counting of votes from Quaid and Cash counties... They tend to vote heavily Pre-Z.
We need to hear from the head of Elections, Ruckus to sort this out.

I'll be in the minority here but Dondante for the win! The way they reinvent this song live each year is amazing.

If this is a vote that is purely based on the song itself then I'm voting for Steam Engine
....however...the RR Night 2 performance of Dondante ranks at or near the top of my favorite single song performance of any show I've been at.

I think you're right on the money. Depends on the day, but the past few days Dondante's had the edge.

Unless the supreme court intervenes or birthers, can we count the electoral votes and swear in the incumbent champion Steam Engine (D-KY) as the Bracket Attack 2012 champion.
I guess I'm just not a big jam band guy or something, but I fail to see how a 25-minute version of something makes it better. it always just makes me antsy and eventually bored. in 25 minutes they could roughly play Dondante, Rollin Back', Sooner, CYSTHHOMH, and By My Car.
I know its not the best mentality to have, but 15 minutes into any jam I can only think about what I'm missing by this happening.

I could not agree more. At the Greek or at Jazz Fest, when I know time is limited and the Dondante is just going on and on, all I'm thinking is that they could be squeezing about three more songs in this space.

Yeah, festivals are the worst. They have 75 minute sets sometimes and they use 1/4 of that for a single song, it drives me crazy. Especially at Jazz when theyre playing the middle of the day time, 20 minute dondantes dont really appeal as much when they arent in the dark with light shows and inhebriation.
Yeah, I feel you guys. I was thinking during Cobra at T5, when I realized they were playing the whole 25-minute monstrosity, "Damn, they're wasting all this time, and they could have fit What Will I Do?, Downtown, Josta Dreams and Bitter Hands, Time Never Gets, Somebody Cares About the Maestro, That Someone Else Was You, R.I.P.V.G., I Won't Cry, I Just Wanted to Be Your Friend, When Will They Come??, AND Isobella w/The White Umbrella in all this time!" :cry:

LOL. I was so pissed when they pulled this at JF last year. Heat of the day...Gentilly Stage...interminable Dondante. Really? REALLY?!
I feel differently about long Dons.
First as a caveat, I hate jammy crap. I have to life with GD music from alienlanes and it drivers me around the bend. Phish? That South African bore? Gah! I'd rather stab my ears with flaming kebab sticks. I also have spent many hours of my life being incredibly derisive of guitar solos (I used to date a jazz guitarist who was in the midst of a formal education in it and holy frak solos made me want to vomit).
But, there is something about MMJ's long solos/jams that feels fundamentally different. Perhaps it's Jim's soul influence but there is a kind of psychedelic soul dance groove that he taps into that carries me the whole way through 25 minutes of Dondante. And the solos at the end change so it's usually a new experience at each show.
It reminds me of my experience with a band called Elevator (to Hell) up here in Canada who would play, hit a groove and just keep hitting the groove like it was an electronic dance tune, repeating over and over. You are listening thinking "this is awesome" and it keeps going and 2 or 3 minutes later you start getting antsy with the repetition and a minute later you think you can't take it anymore and then another minute of living inside that groove you break through to this crazy kind of psychedelic experience and then it ends and the guitar pick the chorus or the verse back up and you start missing that groove. It was mind-blowing, especially if you've smoked a bit of pot. :happy:
Dondante recalls that experience for me, but Dondante in particular takes me on a crazy ride through the end groove/solo. I really don't feel like my time's been wasted. Dondante live, for me, is a whole mental/emotional experience.
I can, of course, recognise the converse opinion as expressed before me :tongue:
You guys are completely right... it's all about whether there are time contraints or not.
At a long gig with no curfew, I love me a long Dondante- stretched out and leisurely.
But at a gig with tight deadlines, festival, etc... hearing Dondante gets me antsy and stressed. Having them bust it out at Newport this year - w/ a 75 minute set and impending rain - was really frustrating. Was with family and extended family and it just wansn't a great introduction to the band. As Eric said, it kills 25% of the total set time.
I understand all of the points above, and they all make perfect sense, especially on a hot day at a festival. However, those thoughts have never occurred to me, mainly because I've never heard a Dondante at the four festivals where I've seen MMJ! I did see that abbreviated show at the Greek this year though, and it still didn't occur to me, I was digging the hell out of it.
Dondante = Extremely long bathroom lines.
I vote Stream.

Although, Mike, no qualms about the Dondante at HSMF, under the stars, on the rail...time of our lives! But that was probably only a 15 minute Dondante, though. Right place, right time!!

and of course, the (ahem) head space contributed a great deal as well at HSMF. Plus they had 2 hours there.
I agree conceptually with avoiding the epic jams during fest sets, though the 15-minute Dondante at Lollapalooza last year was perfect!
My Morning Jacket - Dondante - Lollapalooza 2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RHQd8TyT0A#ws)
FYI, this is my upload and I'm proud to see over 13,000 views!
All good points especially during short sets and when trying to introduce a new fan to MMJ's incredibleness. And I love Steam Engine. However, it's not like Steam Engine is a short song, and its inclusion could cut out some favorite songs.
I am not a fan of jam bands at all, but after much deliberation, I gave the edge to Dondante. I love the unprecictable places the band goes during that song. I'd rather hear a few extra minutes of something cool and interesting that I haven't ever heard versus Aluminum Park or First Light. However if the choice was between a few extra minutes versus Rolling Back or Just One Thing, then it's a different story.
I've read all the posts, counted the votes.....still gotta go w/ Dondante.
Let's rally!
My very first MMJ show was Bonnaroo 2011. I don't really have a problem about extending a song like Steam Engine because it's special and you get to hear a version in person that isn't exactly what's on the album. My next two shows were Alpharetta 2011 and Vanderbilt. It's not like they were gonna play Isobella or R.I.P V.G. during that tour. It was a lot of Circuital and Z. Also, for a festival set, you're only going to get well-known MMJ songs so extending into a jam doesn't bother me.
I enjoy the jams, they are some of my favorite parts of the show. Especially when they do on an unsuspecting song.
Dondante, Please and Thank you!

Granted the 10 extra minutes could be filled with a Run Through or something amazing but it could also be filled with a set killer like Look At You or Sec Walking

One problem that is my fault: after seeing them 10+times a year, I look for variation. That variation didn't really exist in 2010 and 2011 (its been less than 3 years since my first show). The thing that excites me MOST of all at one of their shows is seeing a song I've never seen before. When Dondante starts, I know that the chances of that happening have greatly diminished. Also, at this point there are only 10 LP songs I haven't seen, so I don't know why I expect it any more. But, yeah.. jamming = taking up By My Car time.

Which version of Steam Engine should represent the song?
I'm thinking this...
Jim James - Steam Engine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSHM5FiOChY#)
Did anyone listen to Engine Steam from the Jim show Jason put up on The Steam Engine blog? The lyrics were a little different.

Sorry for the delay but the fun is always getting to the Final Four. Plus I like when Kyle gets impatient with me. Maybe in a few years Steam Engine will finally be displaced.
Thanks to everyone for playing and sorry again for the delays following the holidays.
and yes ill do a deer tick one if someone else runs it ;)
Excellent work. Thanks for doing this!
May need to get the street team going now for war begun or sing you songs in 2013
we should do another one thats seeded, to see if that effects the outcome. This one was random, but I'm pretty sure Steam would win regardless.

I see now no one responded to this and yes, this should be the Steam Theme. One of the most beautiful versions I have ever seen/heard in my life.

we did this on the truckers board (it always annoys a lot of people but we always do it when a new album comes out)
you take what you think are the top 10 least favorites, then every 24 hours, posters get to add a point and take away a point from a song..you do it until (obviously) you're left with one)...sometimes it takes a while but takes a lot less administrative work..
each song starts with a certain number of points (say 25 for example)
This isn't even a contest, its obviously "Two Halves" or "Sec Walkin", their both so bad that I couldn't even pick which one is worse.

Anyone wanting to do another one of these?
I was literally thinking this same question yesterday!
meh, Steam Engine will just win again anyway (even though it should be I Will Sing You Songs, damnit!). i say we do one in reverse to pick out the least favorite.
Yes. Let's. Most or least favourite, I'm happy with either one.
If we do least favorite, should we keep it simple and only use officially released tracks?
Or we could start with TTF and work our way to Circuital by determining the favorite track from each album? It could be ran like an elimination round-based game. People would vote on their least favorite track, and at the end of each round, that song would be removed, leaving us with the remaining bunch, until we got to the final song. Then we would move onto At Dawn and so forth. At the end, we could vote between the winners to determine the greatest overall song. And if you all think it would be better to leave Steam out of the competition, so we can see different results, I'm game. We could also take the least favorite from each album and vote for the worst overall song while we are at it.
We could do something like this:
TTF elimination
AD elimination
ISM elimination
Z elimination

If we do least favorite, should we keep it simple and only use officially released tracks?
Or we could start with TTF and work our way to Circuital by determining the favorite track from each album? It could be ran like an elimination round-based game. People would vote on their least favorite track, and at the end of each round, that song would be removed, leaving us with the remaining bunch, until we got to the final song. Then we would move onto At Dawn and so forth. At the end, we could vote between the winners to determine the greatest overall song. And if you all think it would be better to leave Steam out of the competition, so we can see different results, I'm game. We could also take the least favorite from each album and vote for the worst overall song while we are at it.
We could do something like this:
TTF elimination
AD elimination
ISM elimination
Z elimination
EU elimination
Circuital elimination
EPs/Unreleased songs Grp. 1 elimination
EPs/Unreleased songs Grp. 2 elimination
Covers elimination
Winners from the 9 groups elimination
Losers from the 9 groups elimination (determines least favorite song)
Anyone up for this? If there are enough people, I will get it started.

yes, if we include least favorite.
this sounds awesome. can't wait to play.
I love two halves. I don't think it's intended to be their most loved, revolutionary, epic song. I think it's a cool little change of pace with an injection of humor in there.
Like Jim has said several times, not every song needs to be completely serious and grown from pain. I don't think I would like it if they came out with an album of exclusively Steam Engine and Dondante like sentiment.
