1959 couldn't win over 1995 by using four of its five highest acclaimed albums, but won with twice as many votes over what's considered one of the important years in music. I love this tourney, I think

I hope stuff like Suicide, Marquee Moon and Pink Flag will show up in the future

Wow. Good work 1959. Even though I did vote for it, it is still an unexpected win.

Okay, I thought you were serious about. And I don't know why I wrote that "for your pleasure"-part, that was pretty stupid!

I just want to congratulate Mother Nature's Son on sticking to his guns with his team choices. It would be easy to coldly ignore your own taste and just go for strategy but that wouldn't make for as interesting a tournament. Although of course he shouldn't be too hurt when people state their opinions on his choices (all through the tournament people have commented on the teams presented to them). I don't think people should have to feel pressured to cater towards any sort of bias that a majority of people on the BEA forums may have.

Although of course if they want to win...

No... I don't care that much really. It probably looked like I took your assessment that people not liking PF have unimportant musical opinions too seriously, but apart from that...

For your information, I abstained, the whole "I'm vexed" part was a joke...

Well, anyway.

My "I don't like PF but do like Barrett" stands anyway.

I know that feeling. 😐

Well, it still says Pink Floyd.. and Syd Barrett was a member of Pink Floyd for 2 albums.. and he wasn't the only one playing instruments.. and Roger Waters wrote "Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk" and they all sorta wrote the magnificent "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Pow R. Toc H.".. and I've stopped caring about being a jerk, because my team is losing big time anyway, probably for your pleasure.

..yeah, it's clear enough (still think Syd Barrett was far better when he was in Pink Floyd)! 😨

If you don't like Pink Floyd, why do you have "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" ranked as #10 out of 50 for 1967?

Nah, never mind, your vote doesn't seem to make any difference anyway.

When you have two of the albums on your own chart, the remaining two albums and singles must be really bad. After all you did call my entire selection horrible. Just think it's a bit overreacting when you actually like so much of it. Sorry for over-interpreting!

Oh God... another one on the site who interprets any kind of criticism of their album selections as a personal attack on them and their music taste!!

Look Mother Nature's Son, I am not going to stoop to childish mud flinging of the 'oh you like this so you know nothing' variety. Quite frankly that is beneath me!

You wanted to know why I don't like your current 1977 selections so I told you.

If you can't handle someone's honest opinion, then don't solicit it!

It wasn't meant that literally. But when Mancsoulsister practically tells me that my taste in music is weak, I do the same by telling that she's also missing out the greats. I could also go on by how average I think The Smiths are, but I don't. She can like whatever she wants, but even if she's a robot or not, it still hurts me a little to read that my selections are weak and this is why I get revengeful (I know it's wrong but I still do). If people don't like Pink Floyd, fine, no problem, that's just their loss!

Mother Nature's Son I have (unfortunately) listened to all the albums on your list - unlike some, I would not choose to comment if I hadn't. While you might not call it a platter of mediocrity Mother Nature's Son, based on my opinion of your album choices and where they rank for me amongst the albums of that year, I definitely would. In fact if I am honest, Mother Nature's Son 'platter of mediocrity' was about the kindest thing I could say about your selections.

But I definitely agree with you on one thing, 1977 was not the best year for you to pick. If I were you, Mother Nature's Son I would be taking some advice from your co-captain in future. Maybe that would introduce you to a wider range of what 1977 has on offer and maybe increase your appreciation for some of the fantastic albums and diversity from that year. Something on the strength of this team you are sadly lacking at the moment.

However it is your team, Mother Nature's Son and you can do with it what you like - you can take advice or not, that is entirely up to you. Just don't expect everyone to be happy with what you choose.

I have actually listened to quite many albums from 1977. I've even listened to most of the albums that you've ranked highest on your chart for 1977 albums. The albums and singles that I've chosen are maybe a bad strategic choice, but as it is, I chose them because I like them better than many of the albums/singles that are considered masterpieces from that year. And besides that, I don't see why your opinion should be valid when you're the one that don't likes Pink Floyd.

As I said before, it's okay that you don't like the albums/singles that I've posted, but there's no reason to insult me with my taste in music or with my strategic choices in this tournament.

In full honesty, had 59 only consisted of sleepwalk, I would have voted for it anyways(don't worry, I have listened to everything on both teams, and even though that seems unlikely, I have a lot of time on my hands). I just regard sleepwalk that highly. Such a cool relaxing song.
