The first round of #bcsongbracket to determine the best song in British Columbia has begun!
Today, we go from 44 entries to 32, with the top seeds in each era getting a bye to the second round.

Let's start with the classic side, beginning with the second song entry for two of B.C.'s most iconic bands.
Ocean Pearl may not the favourite song of all 54-40 fans, but it's arguably their most listened to hit.
But is it a match for Loverboy's 80s anthem Turn Me Loose?

Speaking of artists with two songs in the bracket, Spirit of the West's Home For A Rest could be the favourite to win it all — but they also have If Venice Is Sinking.
Is the Spirit spirit so deep it can defeat Roxy Roller, one of the most enduring glam rock hits of the 70s?

oh god i made too many polls
anyhow, it's time for the last chance votes for #bcsongbracket, which will now be 44 songs deep instead of 48 because math is hard!
Up first: the iconic artists of the 70s and 80s!

we've got Spirit of the West, Nelly Furtado, and Carly Rae Jepsen all looking for a coveted second entry

next, Doucette's Mama Let Him Play, Grapes of Wrath's All The Things I Wasn't, Skinny Puppy's Assimilate, and Long John Baldry's (deep breath) "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King of Rock & Roll" try and get the final slot in our early era quadrant
Time for the 90s and 21st century play-in rounds for #bcsongbracket!
We've got TEN WHOLE POLLS to get through, because you nominated many many songs and it's important you have a chance to see a bunch of them fail the popular voting test.

First: I'm giving these artists two chances to get through the qualifying rounds based on nominations:
- Rascalz
- Odds
- Swollen Members
- Grimes
- Matthew Good
Both of the songs will be in the same poll, but there will be some last chance votes in case vote splitting happens.

First: the Rascalz vote!
Northern Touch was more iconic, some prefer Top Of The World, but they'll have to get past a couple of other beloved acts from the 90s first.

B.C.'s music scene was dominated by mainstream rock vs. punk, so we're gonna try and highlight those battles.
But first, a vote of softer rock songs, an Ian Tyson song about B.C. (he was born in Victoria, so it counts), and the 1910s labour song "Where The Fraser River Flows"

Next, let's put up a couple influential Art Bergmann punk classics up against a couple big 70s hits AND LET THE CHAOS REIGN
Next stage of #bcsongbracket is here!
(i am sorry for the number of polls today, will try and use the hashtag regularly so people can mute if they want to ignore this)
Anyhow, there are a few iconic B.C. bands and performers that deserve two songs.
But who will they be?

Does Bryan Adams get two songs?
Probably — unless a bunch of people really prefer one of Chilliwack's most famous hits instead.

The song of the 2010 Olympics:
versus the song of Vancouver's 100th anniversary:
Modern earworm vs. 80s cheese. Only one makes the main bracket.
