So it looked like there was enough interest in this tourney from the poll
So here are the rules
1.) Nothing from BEA's overall top 1000 (let's find some new stuff)
2.) One album per artist
3.) You must have heard the album you nominate before nominating it
4.) Must actually be indie pop (don't throw in chamber pop, indie rock, or indie electronic, if you do someone can POLITELY suggest that you substitute it with something else)
5.) Two nominations per person _________________

Not a big fan of this. I mean, I like lots of stuff that's often called indie pop, but ask 10 people what it is and you'll get 10 different answers. Jim clearly had a very specific notion of the genre that was beyond my understanding, so maybe a genre thread would be better first?
Most of all, though, BEA has so many indie pop fans that it feels like it's constantly being featured in the Music forum in one way or another. Does it really need more exposure in the form of a tournament?

Yeah. my thoughts as well. Plus, unless you're obsessed with a given genre, genre tourneys are a bit boring c/w more diverse tourneys such as the year tourneys. I personally don't like binging on one particular genre. I think most people get burned out and that's why the discussion has kind of suffered in the hip hop tourney for example.
