I can't wait all day, and this tournament needs to get a move on. Unfortunately, I'm taking back my vote for Nico. So...

Mississippi Fred McDowell wins, 11 - 10.

Okay, if there's no new vote in the poll by the next hour, I will consider my own vote for Nico to be retracted and Mississippi Fred McDowell will be the winner.

Nico please. Sad, beautiful and mesmerising artist.

Ashamed to say I don't know McDowell and don't have time to listen to him in time to vote...

I'll abstain, but I'd like to see Nico in the endgame

This exactly. McDowell is fabulous, but Delta blues musicians are generally one-trick ponies. Nico's work is just brilliant in so many different ways.

Some days "Afraid" is my favorite song ever. More so than any Joy Division or VU.

Another documentary you should all watch after "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" :

"Nico Icon" (1995)

My vote goes to Mississippi Fred McDowell. I really like Nico, but I just love McDowell's deep deep blues. The wail of his slide guitar is just haunting as hell. "You've Gotta move" is impeccable.

I'm a sucker for American folk, but Nico's solo as a whole leaves a larger impression on me. Seems like the best matchup out of this week's batch, I think.
