And Agent Orange's album has a hundred more ratings than the Saints', but that's not really the point. Agent Orange are a beloved group and nobody but punk nerds knows who the Saints are, and certainly nobody thinks (I'm) Stranded is better than Living in Darkness. Just accept that you're wrong on this.

One of the very first punk bands to release an album but they were from Australia so nobody cared. They got some good **** though.

Changelog:

- Agent Orange is back on the Punk Rock list
- On Neo-Psychedelia, I'm not sure why of Montreal is one of their other weird albums that isn't Hissing Fauna. So it's Hissing Fauna now.

"Bugs":

- Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space is on both Neo-Psych and Space Rock, so we need suggestions for Neo-Psych or Space Rock if anybody's got them.
- You by Gong is on both Space Rock and Canterbury Scene.
- There's an empty spot on Space Rock because Pink Lady Lemonade - You're From Outer Space was duplicated.

Okay, I don't know who's paying attention on here anymore, but I have something to ask of you folks:

My plan is to have 70 battles by the end of this whole thing, which will result in 70 winners, which will result in 7 runoff battles to determine the 7 finalists, which may be entered into a final overall battle to determine the overall winner of the battle. Now, obviously, we only have 67 battles and not 70. So my idea is to have 3 "second chance" battles, where we bring back ten albums from the previous twenty-two lists who just barely missed the cut (either 2nd or 3rd) and vote on one to reclaim from the huge pile of dead albums.

So, emphasis on "huge". I plan on going through and compiling a short list of albums to consider for a second chance, but I may miss certain ones, or I may include some albums people just don't really care for, so I'd appreciate if a few would give their input on the lists. Thanks for reading my wall of text, shortlist will be out when I get the chance (which may be right now or a while from now).

Changed. Also here's the shortlist I came up with for the revival round, give me your thoughts as to what to cut and what to add (if anything):

Queen - A Night at the Opera
Iggy Pop - The Idiot
Doves - Lost Souls
Gene Clark - No Other
Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle
The Sonics - Here Are the Sonics!!!
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane
Nirvana - Nevermind
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
Naked City - Radio
Depeche Mode - Violator
Glenn Branca - The Ascension
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr Skinny Fists
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Ramones - Ramones
Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
Title Fight - Floral Green
Amebix - Arise
Captain Beefheart - Clear Spot

Keep in mind I want to try to only revive things that came relatively close to winning (2nd or 3rd place). If no one says anything it's just going to be up to me and I don't think anyone really wants that.

Probably unnecessary to include two albums from the "70's Arena Rock" battle, isn't it? I would suggest cutting Boston.

my suggestion for the revival round list; just listed all the runner-ups excluding the ones from rounds that didn't have much participation and then made a couple personal calls, though I did make an effort to be unbiased by leaving queen on

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
Glenn Branca - The Ascension
Depeche Mode - Violator
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
Nirvana - Nevermind
Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle
Doves - Lost Souls
Iggy Pop - The Idiot
Queen - A Night at the Opera

I agree with your picks except for Doves and Queen, which I replaced with Devo and Ramones. Thoughts?
