It's back! We're close to the end, folks. Just a reminder that in these semi-finals you're voting for the albums and singles presented - not the year itself. Also I'll be putting the polls themselves up later.

Tough call. but gotta go with 1971. Tago Mago, Songs of Love & Hate, What's Going On, Maggot Brain,Fragile, and Hunky Dory. That's a serious combination of albums

I definitely prefer 1980 as a year, but here, the choices will make me vote for 1971. Sabbath, Bowie, Funkadelic, Mitchell, Gaye... 1980 has Talking Heads, but the other choices don't live up to this album IMO.

1971. 1980 was a weak year to start with, and the selection does not help that cause. The 1971 sample is fairly representative.

1980 was a good year. it's the next couple years that were really weak.

No they weren't... and I'm happy to debate that if you want to Smile

Anyway I don't know what itsit did to the 71 team but it bears no relationship to the one we talked about putting into the competition before I disappeared over the dateline! With the exception of Al Green, the singles are horrible and the albums are boringly safe!

Still at least he left out *vomit* Pink Floyd...

Very conflicted because I genuinely think the 80 team is better (plus the Cramps are normally a guaranteed MSS vote winner)

Will probably abstain cause as a co-captain (even one who was ignored), I can't really vote against the team.
