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.
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.

Next: Odds!
Are they the official 90s house band of Vancouver, or is it 54-40? Or is this just a stupid question?
Anyhow two of their biggest hits against an iconic Vancouverite, and an iconic one-hit wonder from an adopted Vancouver Islander.

Swollen Members time!
Included Breath because the B.C. collaboration with Furtado pleases me, but both songs have to get past a couple huge hits from the middle of the 2000s.
(some don't like k-os' addition, he's lived in Vancouver for more than a decade and it's my bracket)

Grimes vs. Nardwuar delights me to absolutely no end, and will certainly say something no matter the result.
But garage rockers The Pack A.D. have a song called "B.C. Is On Fire" that got nominated by a couple of people, and I'm including it because uh have you seen the news

To answer the questions: basically nobody nominated Hedley. A lot of people nominated Matthew Good.
So we put it to the masses against a couple of very different 90s songs, and see what happens.

On to the polls with no multiple entrants!
Let's pass judgement on a bunch of rockers from the early 2000s, including one from Wolf Parade (I'll Believe In Anything), and one from a cbc co-worker that I will make no further comment on because ETHICS IN BRACKETING

Let's get some jazzy covers, some modern folk, and some rock together in a really chaotic foursome, won't we?
This is a mean bracket, but again there will be a couple last chance brackets later this evening.

Hey it's time for a ridiculously stacked UBC Block Party show from 2013 that did not actually happen, but could you imagine?
once again i ask please to not shout at me
once again i ask please to not shout at me
Now this is a more realistic UBC concert from circa 2012 or so
And finally, can a song less than five years old really be considered for the most iconic British Columbia song ever?
Probably not!
But Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Peach Pit and Alex Cuba got a few requests, so we'll see which one gets the honour of having the most recent song.

And that's it for the next couple of hours!
We'll return later tonight for the last chance votes to determine the *actual bracket*, for which voting will begin tomorrow morning!
In the meantime, please enjoy a matchup that predated this by a decade.
