I was thinking it (in regards to The Boys Next Door's Door Door). But fate stepped in.

Abstain. Allman Brothers are great at what they do, but what they do is not what I like much; whereas Howard is probably more in my comfort zone, but is definitely not the best at what I like. All in all, I'll let everybody else decide.

Jessica, by the Allman Brothers, is my favorite guitar track of all time. But it wasn't on this album. I'm going with everyone who said that Teenage Snuff Film was one of the best discoveries of the tournament.

I especially liked his interpretation of "She Cried", which had been a 60's hit for Jay and the Americans. He adds "Oh, my God, what have I done?? What have I done??" which adds a dark edge to a song that was already very sad.

Vote goes to Mr. Howard.

I have nothing but respect for the Allman Brothers. Duane Allman was a phenomenal guitar player. But for some reason their music has never clicked with me. Roland S Howard is not a pretty man, but he's been involved in some of my favorite bands ever. for some reason i had overlooked his solo work until this tournament started and I saw his name mentioned. Naturally Teenage Snuff Film is incredible.

side note: was the Birthday Party's debut not nominated?

I'm not saying you said you dislike the Allman brothers but I get the idea you do. And there is never any question you just generally seen to dislike every band between about 69-80 who played classic rock or blues rock. Maybe this is just a slight misconception.

To be honest this is more true for me than with Frogger. I just don't find much to connect with them. Perhaps a fault of my listening skills but I think I can comfortably say I dislike every band between 69-80 that I've heard who played classic rock or blues rock. Doesn't suit my ears or personality at all. Aside from, like, Led Zeppelin, they're good.

Haven't heard either of these albums, will get on that.

Rowland S Howard is a god. Nearly everything he did from The Birthday Party onward was absolutely fantastic, and Teenage Snuff Film may be his best of the bunch. Easiest decision

Not the most friendly title to search for on the internet, but Teenage Snuff Film is a half-buried gem of Australian music. A lot of top 40 listeners would never have heard of Rowland S Howard in Aus, but many that know The Birthday Party, NC&TBS or Crime + The City Solution would have glanced past his name.

The documentary on him 'Autoluminescent' is one of the best docos I have seen. It shows the impact RSH had on Aus music without many people noticing.

Haha, I like my fair share of pop stuff, they're just not deep personal favorites of mine, which is what my charts predominantly made of, or what I find myself discussing on the forums. The 20/20 Experience is in my top 10 of the year, for god sakes.

Anyways, Teenage Snuff Film was one of my favorite discovers of this tourney.

I dig.

Anyway, I like the Allman brothers one... But not very much. Some killer guitar... That goes on and on and on and on an on...

The other I haven't heard yet... Will try to Check out soon.

Okay. Like I respect and like your taste actually quite a bit. I just thought I had found a common theme. I mean it would really surprise me if you came out and revealed your love for, lets say, a Cheap Trick album. (I love cheap trick by the way).
