Six or seven leaves probably would've been better.

28-11

I guess you can't have a Best Debut Album Tournament without inviting all Debut Albums. No one's blaming. Maybe a Best Of Year Excluding Top 100, or something.

I've never liked VU&N, I don't like that much this band ... But I really love Five Leaves Left ! So there's my choice !

Next tournament, let's have a rule: No Joy Division, and No Velvet Underground. While we're at it, No Beatles, and No Radiohead, and No Arcade Fire.

It's official, we are the most predictable forums on the internet. I predicted VU&N v.s. Unknown Pleasures in the final from the first round, and what are we gonna get? That exactly.

Still, regardless, Banana.

It's pretty ridiculous how one-sided the whole match is. Ah well, you did great reaching the semi-finals Nick Drake.

VU&N is at 37 and Five Leaves Left is at 38 on my overall. Going with Nick Drake by a molecule so small it can't even be seen by the naked eye.

Five Leaves Left. Props to the other three homies who did the same, you're my heroes.

Went with VU&Nico. It's just quite good. Only one of the final 4 is really chart worthy in my eyes and that's Surfer Rosa, followed pretty far behind by VU&Nico and then way way back is Unknown Pleasures then FLL. All are quality though.

A month ago I probably wold have said VU&N, but I'm at a point in my life right now where I love Nick Drake too much.

Five Leaves Left was a very nice discovery for me this tournament, but gotta go with VU.

I wanted Five Leaves Left in the final but I just ... I just can't. It's like pulling the trigger on an old friend to save a new one. Sorry, Nick, VU wins this for me.
