--- Quote from: E. Spaceman on 15 Sep 2009, 12:57 ---My commentary on the last round is thinking that Nina Nastasia, Beulah and several others recieved few votes while people still think that Sigur Ros are not the most boring band and Animal Collective have anything to offer.

--- End quote ---

I am hoping that it at least inspired a few people to listen to Nina and Beulah.  If they lost because people didn't give them a chance, that is just silly.

Koremora:
Yellow
Sigur Rós - Takk... (god damn you for making me make this choice)
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
The Books - The Lemon of Pink (Sucker for The Books. Also helps that I saw them live and it blew my fucking mind. Also they are very nice people.)
Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (sorry, I love this album. sorry fugazi.)

Red
MONO - Hymn to the Immortal Wind
Death from Above 1979 - I'm a Woman, You're a Machine
Battles - Mirrored (Another soul-destroying choice. As much as I love Happy Songs, I have to admit Mirrored is the better album.)
Agalloch - The Mantle

Orange
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver (no contest.)
The Mountain Goats - All Hail West Texas (The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton. 'nuff said.)
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People (And again, my soul is dead. The better album by a MARGIN.)

Green
TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain (One of my favorite albums of all time, no contest)
BORIS - Akuma No Uta (One of the most badass albums I own. Inconceivable to NOT vote for this.)
The Postal Service - Give Up (Guilty pleasure sans the guilt.)
of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? (Lifechanging album right here.)

Blue
Daft Punk - Discovery (If you don't like this album I don't think we can be friends.)
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy (If this was an award for "most emotionally devastating record of the decade" this would probably win)
ISIS - Panopticon (Sorry Animal Collective, but this is one of my favorite metal albums of all time. In Fiction melts me.)
N/A (I have no opinion on either of these bands.)

Purple
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (And there goes the only ambient album to make it this far.  :-()
Panda Bear - Person Pitch (Basically an AC album. Fantastic one at that.)
Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene
M83 - Saturdays = Youth (Cannot put into words how happy this album makes me)

Blue
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (Screw you guys, this is a fantastic album of psych pop. Not the greatest album ever, no, but still emotive and danceable and interesting.)
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Sigur Rós - Agaetis Byrjun (At least this SR will make it through. Not much else needs to be said about this album. It changed my musical perspective forever.)

Gold
Arcade Fire - Funeral (Still gives me chills)
Radiohead - In Rainbows (Ditto)
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (Amazing album, deserves way more praise than it gets)
Mogwai - Mr. Beast (Second favorite Mogwai album, which still ranks it above most everything else.)

The Books - The Lemon of Pink (So very, very disappointed that Trail of Dead didn't beat Franz. C'mon, people. Double-u tee eff.)

--- End quote ---

I don't like you.

You think that's bad?  The Books beat out fucking Dopethrone.  What the fuck's up with that?  I can't leave you people alone with easy decisions these days.
