Ugh.  |
1 Tom Tom Club wasn't bad
2 I'm of the camp that Partridge, Gano, and Napolitano (and maybe even Hutchence) are better vocalists than Byrne. And I love Byrne, but those are some of the best ever
3 Stylistically this is fairly different than Tom Tom Club. That's like assuming Love and Rockets and Bauhaus sound the same, or Skrillex and From First To Last for a more extreme example. But this is all over stylistically, frankly the closing track sounds more like a Leonard Cohen song than Tom Tom Club or Talking Heads.
4 Is this better than Talking Heads? No, I won't pretend that for a second. Is it an interesting listen? Yeah. And it sounds like you're not even willing to give it a chance.
5 Are we just going to ignore the fact that Weymouth only sings on one track? This is really a variety of famous lead singers who wrote their own songs to write backed by Talking Heads ...

Just an idea, but how about also excluding albums from the recently completed 1500+ tourney. I'm specifically thinking about...

Sackcloth 'n' Ashes by 16 Horsepower
Almost won the 1500+ tourney.

In Sides by Orbital
Made it to the second or third round of the 1500+ tourney. Electronica classic.

Repetition by Unwound
duh! One of my faves from the 1500+ tourney (or any tourney)
Both are awesome albums, but we've already discussed both fairly recently. I'm cool either way since they deserve exposure, and perhaps there are some new peeps who didn't get a chance to hear them in the 1500+ tourney.

Yeah, I agree with this. It's exactly why I chose not to nominate Repetition, which otherwise would have earned my third nom likely.
Also sorry to take ETK from ya Repo, but I have to rep that Stereolab, it's in my blood.

Sure, sounds good. I'll add that restriction to the lead post.
