Blame it on Bad Brackets (Bayside Bracket) Bracket • Page 59

Killing time. That’s the one.

 

Landing Feet First
Blame it on Bad Luck

 

Ah I missed it but Killing Time for the final

 

Killing Time

 

Boy

 

I think this is the most surprised I’ve ever been at a final round in these brackets. I’m caught between being happy neither of them are singles and being bummed that I don’t feel very strongly about either of them, haha.

Killing Time gets the vote

 

Boy

I bet the band would be stoked and surprised to know these were the last two

 

Weird final.

My vote goes to "Boy".

 

Boy

 

Boy

I love Killing Time, but Boy is just a bit above it for me. I mentioned it previously, but the end of Boy may be my favorite part of Bayside’s discography. I’ll never get tired of that song.

A big thank you to @333 GANG for running this! You did a really great job and it’s been really fun revisiting Bayside’s catalog this past month and discussing it with everyone!

 

Killing Time

 

Boy

 

There's no wrong answer here.

 

Killing Time

 

Killing Time

 

Boy is too good!

 

Boy - 10
Killing Time - 11

Wow! We aren’t done just yet, few more votes still to come in, but what a way to wrap this whole thing up. I love it.

 

Thank you so much, and thanks again for catching some of my mistakes in the vote counts! I had a blast running this.

 

This was definitely a LOT of fun

 

"Go on, give up, you'll never win."

"Spent all my life waiting for a moment to come, but it won't."

 

I’m glad people enjoyed it! I love this band, and it was a blast digging back into their entire catalogue with everyone.

 

Yeah this bracket was definitely one of my favorites and, I would argue, the best run one as well (which is definitely not a knock on all the other great people who run these).

Also, I'm coming to the realization that almost all ofy favorite bands in this scene have had brackets already. Only a few that I can think of (Rise Against, Bad Religion, and a few others) with a large enough discography that I know well enough. It's a bit crazy to think about how many of these things have been done

 

I'm down for Bad Religion

 

Thank you! This was my first time doing one of these, but it was a lot of fun, and I’m very glad everyone had a great experience.

I hope I didn’t annoy anyone with my incessant tagging haha

 

This was the first one I actively participated in and I had a great time. Shouts to @333 GANG for running such a tight ship.

I've been a fan since 2004 when as a freshman in high school I walked into my local CD store and blindly bought Sirens and Condolences because it had a Victory Records sticker and I was already a huge TBS and Thursday fan. Crazy they are a band I've now seen 25+ times. NYC/Long Island living plus their insane touring schedule over the years made it very, very easy to do.

I don't think their sound has really evolved much, if at all, but Bayside is always going to have a very big place in my heart, and this tournament was a great reminder of how much I enjoy their music. So many songs got re-stuck in my head in the course of voting.
