I was pretty surprised myself when I realized I liked it more than Blur. The way the arrangements come together on that one cross out the boredom inherent in the slower Britpop albums. And after that, the pure beauty of it shines through on its own.

I went ahead and just decided on Crust Punk for the next battle. I'll do a vote for the battle after that.

Well, that'll be a new kind of punk for me. I have heard NO crust punk. I'll get to that tomorrow or the day after. For now, all I really need to listen to are Small faces and Aftermath.

If Small Faces and Aftermath don't knock Elvis Presley off your top spot then we will never be friends.

Yeah, Elvis launched the genre into popularity, but he was certainly not the best of them all. Out of all the 50s era guys, I like Buddy Holly the most. If only he hung around a little longer...

EDIT- Now that I think about it, would you guys be cool with replacing The Crickets with Buddy Holly's solo debut?

Too late. We're already friends. Besides, you made that same threat during a Motley Crue discussion and I think we turned out just fine.

I'm actually listening to Small Faces right now. Awesome album. I'll be posting a review later. A short one, though.

Just a question: with these "Survivor" threads, why don't you do them in the form of a poll? One poll for each round? That seems to be what polls are designed for, and it would make the voting and the counting of votes easier.

First, it would just be a hassle to have the mods make a new poll every time a battle changed; it would probably stifle discussion since people wouldn't be putting their name to their votes in a way that could be responded to; but most importantly, it would be impossible to make sure that everyone was voting off the correct number of bands each round.
