Greatest Album of the Decade Tournament, BEST 8
a pack of wolves:
Low - Things We Lost In The Fire (I'm not actually that big on this record but it's still better than Radiohead and besides, the idea of Radiohead winning is horrible)
Boris - Akuma No Uta
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr Skinny Fists...
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You...

How did Kid A win AGAIN. Over Yoshimi I can MAYBE understand if disagree with but over Fugazi into the top 8? WTF? Sound of Silver and Discovery both got through though so I guess I can't complain.
The Things We Lost In The Fire (I don't really like this particularly either but at this point I just want to see Radiohead finally lose)
ABSTAIN (I can't do it. I don't hate Kid A enough to vote that over it just for it to lose)
Sound of Silver (This one is rather difficult, but as much as I admire Akuma no Uta Sound of Silver is just nicer to listen to)
Discovery (Also hard but I would rather Discovery win it than Lift Yr Skinny Fists; it's even closer this time but I still think that Discovery is more fun to listen to, if only because it's actually in any way accessible)

why?

Because basically everyone has heard Kid A, if they are interested in modern alternative music. Things We Lost in the Fire is a much less popular album, generally, and I would be much less likely to assume that someone had listened to it. If the person was a regular on this forum, given how much Low is touted here, I'd expect them to be familiar with the record. However, many people voting here have low post counts, and I know absolutely nothing about them. The people with lower post counts in this thread seem to be voting for Radiohead more frequently than people with higher post counts. I can only hope, if they are voting for Radiohead, that they have at least given the other album a chance.
I'm not saying I can't understand a vote for Kid A. It's an album I enjoy a lot. But maybe I'm also just bitter that it beat Fugazi?
Hat:
No I mean "why do you think your taste in music is so special that someone who doesn't share it must not have experienced as wide a range of music as you"
and as an addendum "why would you associate post counts with breadth of musical exposure" or "why do you think that one or two people makes some kind of pattern of ignorance?"
I mean I may have implied anyone who voted for Daft Punk over the Avalanches suffered from some kind of brain damage but at least that is ridiculous enough to definitively be a joke, whereas you have implied that people who voted for Kid A might just be lazy which I think is kind of insulting.

I think you are misinterpreting the seriousness of my initial statement.
