I voted Pavement because I like them... and I am so sick of hearing about how awesome NMH is.
TheFuriousWombat:
NMH won't win. I mean, it'll win this bracket and maybe even the next but I don't see it going all the way, especially when The Beatles and Bob Dylan are running against it. More people like the two latter and enough people will vote for something else on principal. Of course, then you could say "C'mon guys, don't vote The Beatles/Bob Dylan for president like every other website and magazine and music TV show and book on music ever."
On an unrelated note, anyone else a little surprised no Bonnie 'Prince' Billy made it onto the brackets? I thought everybody had a boner for Will Oldham.
SilentJ:
I don't know, I'd heard a little NMH before this contest, but I went and listened to Aeroplane before casting my vote (or a decent amount of it, anyhow) and I kinda liked it. Agreed, though, definitely not going to win it all in my book, but I liked it better than Wowee Zowee, at any rate.
Also, with all the hype I see it get on this forum I really wanted to enjoy it, but goddamn I just cannot bring myself to like Spiderland. Seriously grating music, to me.

(Though I didn't need to think too hard about Pixies/Silkworm)
Dimmukane:
A lot of the stuff this forum seems to love almost never attracts me on first listen. I listened to Spiderland 2 years ago and thought it sucked. But then I started listening to a bunch of post-rock, and I actually really liked it the second time I listened to it. Same thing with Agalloch and Kyuss.
As far as NMH goes, I might vote it through next round, but no further.
Low post: The Low album that was nominated is the only one I haven't heard. I really liked Tyranny of Distance, so much that it would've beat every other Low album except for Trust. Which wasn't nominated, hence my decision.
