Again just another bump. 2014 discoveries were quite good.

Yeah, as much as I love Black Messiah and Meshes of Voice, Listmeister held nothing back. Tough for anything to beat that collection of albums.

Seeing as you would likely vote for the team that was here according to the rules anyway, I certainly don't think Meister's team should lose a vote because I dropped the ball

If Defago says it's okay, then Im fine with the match staying open... but Im not voting. Even if it was done in earnest, it was breaking the rules sending in a team after the match was posted and it shouldn't have been allowed at all (I know, I know 😁 look at the first 2011 match when I tried to set a "precedent"). While I believe DBZ probably was just late and put up a team in earnest, he had an unfair advantage (whether or not he used it to decide his team) and again breaking the rules blah-blah-blah. But yeah let it slide but since gotta be a rule-stickler Im not going to participate in this match (nor the 97 v 67 match). Probably would go 74 if I was.

1974, wasn't sure how'd I'd be voting after seeing Red as the first album but the trio of Grievous Angel, Veedon Fleece and Autobahn is very strong.

1974, for all sorts of reasons (the main ones being Grievous Angel, Veedon Fleece, and Pick a Dub).

I thought so too tbh but VHS Head and AG Cook did make me think twice.

From memory from the first BYT this tended to happen with plebs walking in and just voting for which year they thought was best not aware that it was to do with what albums and singles were posted. Although maybe it is a popularity contest too :/.

Once again, teams aren't supposed to be "I saw yours and put up mine." Even if it wasn't done, there's assumed conflict of interests. I will let this one slide, and hope voters take this into account.

Also, what the fuck, there were votes for DBZ even before he posted his team. This ain't the BEUT people!

Wow! Listmeister's teams just keep on improving. Don't really know how he'll top this though because that album team is just perfect & diverse stacked with four MASSIVE classics across pretty varied terrain in prog (Red), country rock (Grievous Angel), electronica (Autobahn), & Van Morrison (that's right. the MAN gets his own genre) and then one of my favorite discoveries from the 74 tourney, Pick A Dub - just the perfect hangout record & I LOVE the lo-fi production on it.

DBZ threw up a great team in record time, but really the only things that can quite compare to those five albums are that D'Angelo album and that first half of Voices of Mesh (I think the second half drags a bit & am starting to think that inconsistency is a Jenny Hval trademark. Or maybe I'm just not arty enough. lol) Anyways, I really,really like both that Angel Olsen album and Arca album but they're both far from five star/classic territory. To be fair, I haven't checked out VHS Head yet, & I will because I've yet to get a rec from DBZ that I didn't like/love, but I'm already quite comfortable voting '74.

At this rate, Listmeister will b throwing out Skinny-sized recs in about one week. 😮
