Pray on Gideon's Bible all you want, this one goes to the 2003 heathens.

Those 2003 singles are godly. What ultimately turned it for me.

You had me at The Wrens. Vote to 2003.

Voting against Nick Drake is the only stinger for me.

Ugh, I gotta stop forcing myself to listen to Nick Drake.

I still can't decide on this one. I thought it would be an easy vote for '03, but I was pleasantly surprised by both the Third Ear Band and Lord Baltimore. Exuma is also excellent, but the problem with '70 is that none of the singles do much for me. Alcachofa is the only album I really love on '03, but they're all decent... damn Defago and his tournament.

Exuma is probably my favorite album on the list but beside that and Bryter Layter, it's heavily dominated by 2003.
Sorry fellow AMer ^^

That 2003 team is ridiculous. Easily has my vote.

This is a really tough one for me, it's basically Speakerboxx, Dopesmoker, Hurt, and Such Great Heights vs. Exuma, Bryter Later, Long and Winding Road, Instant Karma, and Make Me Smile. 70's got more stuff I like, but the stuff I like 03 I think I like more. Hm ... gonna think on this one.

When I picked The Long And Winding Road, I said to myself, "This is either going to win my match or lose my match"

I have a feeling it might be the latter

Argh, decisions decisions. Bryter Layter is my favourite thing on either team, but Dopesmoker and The Ha Ha Sound aren't too far behind, whilst I love large parts of Speakerboxx/The Love Below (if not the whole, unfortunately). Never been massive on The Wrens, but that Villalobos record is dope (if not one of my favourite techno albums, unfortunately). I'm a massive fan of both Exuma and American Beauty, but Third Ear Band does absolutely nothing for me and Sir Lord Baltimore are one of those bands that I feel like I should enjoy more than I actually do. Neither singles selection is speaking to me particularly, but 'Crazy In Love' is head and shoulders the best thing among the ten. 'Instant Karma' is one of my favourite Lennon songs, but any good will brought about by that choice is basically cancelled out by the horribly mawkish 'The Long and Winding Road'. I don't like to make decisions based on selections I don't like, but it's the only thing across either team that I really can't stand. And, given the closeness of the match, it's probably the decider in pushing me towards voting 2003. A shame, because both are strong teams and there's not a bad album between them (well, except maybe Third Ear Band, but even then I can't say that I dislike it particularly), but I really fucking hate that song (also, y'know, I really fucking love Dopesmoker). Vote to 2003.

😨 I'd rather Saoirse got a point than Rocky 2...

Ah, ok, I thought you were crying foul. Carry on then.

EDIT: Worth noting that Rocky has played more matches, though... and used more of his best stuff.

Voting '03 because I can count.

Still would have probably, as Broadcast + Vilallobos + OutKast is ace, Drake is my favourite from the lot, but is backed up (as far as excellent albums are concerned, don't get me wrong, I like American Beauty) by Exuma. Edging towards '03 singles too, because Chicago + Mungo is an average combination to me.
