Shit I haven't heard anything on Keith's team. I have some listening to do I guess.

Great team though Junodog. It's going to be hard to vote against it.

Wow, the 1996 user will put Labradford on their team I would have thought that album would have been forgotten.

[Norman Bates]

Wow, Keith's team is #abstractqualities indeed. Some listening to do. Only know Labradford (excellent) and Spring Heel Jack (don't care much). Have listened to random tracks by June of 44 (probs Keith playing them on plug too back in the days), high hopes there.

In the meantime, Junodog's LP team is very good for what I know (by which I mean I haven't listened to this metal - or so I assume it is - LP). Singlewise, unfortunately, it's got Soudngarden and Blind Melon. Also, the title tricked me into thinking 'Mama Said Knock You Out' was going to be selected and it's not. What a disappointment.

[Saoirse]

This is why you're unequivocally my favorite user Junodog


Yeah that 1992 team is absolutely bangin'... but haha I haven't heard most of Keith's team, and he did use Labradford which is one of my favorites. Singles are all very good as well. Will listen to more of 96 but it's gonna be hard to vote against 92 and Darkthronneeeeee, though Keith still has my banjo and mandolin in custody and is known for violent grudges ...

[Defago]

Please remember, guys, that you don't need to vote right now. You have until Sunday. And that not knowing a team's lineup shouldn't be a reason to vote against it. I've been seeing quite a few matchups now in which teams with relatively unknown names get destroyed - hours before the teams are posted. Give them a chance - I'm giving you a week for that, otherwise if we're just gonna browse the albums and decide which one we like more right there we can just close up the tournament in a single day.

Keith's team makes me want to fly to Texas

Love Labradford and haven't listened to that particular June of 44 release though I like them a lot too, have some listening for this one. Gonna be really hard to beat any team that has DCH, and Bone Machine is great, but I don't love The Chronic or Dirty. Still think they're decent, but we'll see how the full team stacks up.

Also The Taut And The Tame is like top 3 Tortoise for me.
