Yeah would agree with that... Still think that Husker Du are more 'post punk' than anything (including 'This Is My Bloody Valentine' - which i listened to again yesterday and still think MEH!) MBV has done!

Still MBV will no doubt win the tournament at the expense at some infinitely better examples of the post-punk genre!

I was gonna ask actually, what albums by Hüsker Dü should I give a listen for this tourney. Admittedly I only know Zen Arcade by the band, but I don't remember it being "post-punk" at all.

This is Your Bloody Valentine is more psychobilly or gothic rock and could also fall under "post-punk" if you ask me (at the very least it's pretty far from "tweest Indie pop" of Sunny Sundae Smile or Strawberry Wine). That said, it's also one and possibly the only MBV release that I don't really like, which is why I can't really get behind them in this tourney, despite being one of my favourite bands.

This is a Post-Punk and New Wave tournament... MBV have never released as much as a single that could be even remotely described as post-punk or new wave!

Their early stuff is the tweest Indie Pop of the finest variety, they then went on to 'found' shoegaze

This is insane that they are even in this tournament!

This.

Also, as far as I'm concerned there isn't all that much separating the two bands in terms of quality. I slightly prefer MBV, but went Hüsker Dü for reasons stated.

Voted MBV ofcourse, but I don't see them as PPNW, they are SGDP

Voted Huskur.

MBV is good (not including their most recent album), though I don't consider them anywhere near the best shoegaze band.

haha. I'm absolutely shocked that Hüsker Dü is winning. I voted for MBV, because as much as I love Hüsker Dü, My Bloody Valentine exist on another level.
