    I can't believe Neon Bible and Surfer Rosa are in the same Quarter Final!

    I reckon Neon Bible will get votes from others though so going to go with Surfer Rosa.

    EDIT: D'oh! SR on 5 and NB on 3 - should have voted for NB..

    Number of votes in the respective yearly polls to decide that?
    Just a suggestion. You're on your own after that though!

    Actually I'll put both through. **** it if they can't win second place outright they're not going to make a dent in the finals

    i thought the last QF was tough, jeeze this is way tougher...
    ill go Strokes (i just love that album - fun, so witty and heralded a new wave of excellent guitar fuelled music)
    the other three a gee hair behind, each masterpieces in their own rights. If that Arcade Fire song doesnt get you somewhere special then youre not alive... Pixies and Radiohead - f*cking GENIUS.

    such a tough choice... and i dont care that i went for the one that will probably finish last, theyre all THAT good.

    edit: for me gorillaz dont even come close, sorry fans!!
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    I love all those albums. So tough but went for Radiohead, a true classic of our times...

    I went for Radiohead but I'm unsure whether I should have done now. I'd love to see Neon Bible go through too. It's a very tough choice, every single one of them has excellent merits.
    My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.

    VERY tough. Radiohead shading it for me over Gorillaz
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
