I can't believe it, but I've never listened to TV on the Radio. I'll abstain until I can look into them some.

Skynyrd's debut likely won't get the credit it deserves, but it's also up against one of the best debuts of the new millennium. Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes was such a breath of fresh air when it came out. still is.

I fucks with Lynyrd's debut, and haven't listened to TV's one. I've read it was pretty polarizing. I may be able to listen to it tonight.

Though I doubt Skynyrd will get the win, It should get credit as a fantastic Southern Rock album with legends like Simple Man, Free Bird, and Gimme Three Steps.

Return to Cookie Mountain and Dear Science got more critical praise, but I think Desperate Youth Bloodthirsty Babes is ageing far better than either of them. What made Tv on the Radio's music distinct to me is how they mix their vocal harmonies with the lightly electronic/noisy guitar soundscapes (while still writing what are essentially pop songs), and this albums got the most involved use of both.
King Eternal and Poppy are two of my absolute favourite songs ever (King Eternal currently is the most played song in my itunes, Poppy and Dreams are not far behind)
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a perfectly good album as well, but not much chance against tvotr.

I like both bands alright, but haven't heard either album in full. I'm guessing I'd lean more towards Skynyrd just because TV on the Radio isn't really my bag (except for "Wolf like Me"; I love that shit).

Okay, so TV on the Radio is pretty good at an initial listen, but I'm still going for Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Maybe as the tourney progresses my feeling towards TVOTR will warm.

Same here. Lynyrd just isn't my cup of mud.
