Have fond memories of both during the '00s, inching towards Burial at this moment but may take a little time before voting.

My vote goes to Burial

Some match-up. ‘Weak Become Heroes’ was always the Streets’ track that resonated with me most, one of those hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck moments where you piece together the fuzzy memories of mid-90s clubbing then remember you’ve suddenly grown up and you’ve got to renew your life insurance policy. I remember when I first heard Original Pirate Material I thought as a social commentator Mike Skinner was right up there with Kwesi Johnson and John Cooper Clarke. I still hold that view...

...but going with Burial here, mostly through blind loyalty to my nom. Happy to see either win the whole thing, personally.

Everything Jimmy said about 'Weak Become Heroes' and more. It only increases in resonance with every day I stray further from 21.

Name's European Bob. Sorted.

I took the cowardly route and didn’t vote in the Newsom-Radiohead matchup. I might pull another one of those here.

Weak Become Heroes is a great track. I need to listen to the album ASAP. But Archangel is my favorite Burial song, and gets my vote.
