I nominated Up, since I prefer it over Play. Glad to see both in the tourney though.

When I added Up to my chart back in February, it was the first GBS album on the site... hopefully this tourney will allow more people to explore this great band from the Rock and we'll be seeing more of them around here.

If it does, I'd be pleasantly surprised. 🤣
But yeah, "Play" is way too Canadian for the lot on these forums, I think it would baffle them. It's also going up against Cowboy Junkies first round, so... :S odds aren't looking good that it'll even pass the first round.

Up is pretty good, but it's NO Play.

Oh thank god. I'm rooting for Play to win this whole thing (which it won't).

I just voted for Up because I didn't know if Play was in. Oh well. It won't change the result.

I gotta give it to Fantasies. Just an instant classic of an indie record.

Before voting, I would ask that voters AT LEAST listen to one song off of each album, from start to finish, just to get a feel for the sound. Remember, this tournament should allow you to listen to great Canadian music you may not have otherwise heard, so please take the opportunity to discover these great albums which have been nominated. Anyway, here we go:

BEST RUSH ALBUMS - ALL-OUT-BRAWL

METRIC - Fantasies

vs.

GREAT BIG SEA - Up
