DOOKIE BRACKET Round 1: Sassafras Roots Vs. Having a Blast Longview Vs. F.O.D. Emenius Sleepus Vs. She Burnout Vs. Chump Basket Case Vs. Welcome to Paradise Coming Clean Vs. Pulling Teeth All By Myself Vs. In The End
Basketcase vs Paradise in the first round? Shit. I wasn’t ready for such a huge choice right away. The others are a lot easier for me to choose. Gotta think about this.
Having a Blast F.O.D. She Burnout Basket Case Coming Clean In The End Fun fact, Having a Blast was written right around the corner from where I grew up.
Having A Blast Longview She Burnout Basket Case Pulling Teeth In The End Some difficult ones for me this round! Longview vs. F.O.D. was the most painful. I really enjoy F.O.D. but Longview is so iconic and it felt like me voting against it would pretty much just be penalizing it because it was a single. Basket Case vs. Welcome to Paradise was also tough, but I gave the edge to Basket Case because Welcome to Paradise already had its chance in the Kerplunk bracket. Coming Clean vs. Pulling Teeth was another tough one for me. Honestly, I'm a bit indifferent on both of these songs but I gave the edge to Pulling Teeth because I think it has a good chorus.
Having a Blast Longview She Burnout Basket Case Pulling Teeth In The End Basket Case vs Welcome to Paradise was extremely difficult. The rest were easy for me. This was the first CD I ever owned.
