No worries! I know it's a lot. I think the original post had them at one point, but yeah... this is a MASSIVE undertaking to manage all this, so the fact you haven't given up already is a HUGE plus 😉

I guess Wilco. I just don't hear what everyone else does in either of these, though.

Never fell in love with battles. Jesus etc meanwhile is one of the stronger tracks off what is perhaps my favourite album of the decade

The Battles song is excellent. I probably would have voted for it last round if it wasn't against one of my nominations so glad I can vote for it this time.

Atlas (and Tonto by extension) just feels like an important piece of the decade, whereas Wilco had more iconic songs though Jesus Etc is not a bad choice at all to represent.

Having a very difficult time choosing. Leaning towards Wilco, but it's hard to vote against my own nomination, even if I didn't actually nominate Atlas.

There are 3 or 4 songs off of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot that would've got my vote here, but again, Jesus Etc is not one of those.

Both songs completely seminal to their time. Nothing will replace the experience of slowly waking up to Battles play under the Space Needle back in bumbershoot '08, a mind-fuck like no other, sorry Wilco despite the very lovely Jesus Etc.
