Friday13th: Prog - A Beginning - Semi-Finals

Friday13th 08.06.21	Voting ends quickly! Let's crank this one out by Monday, August 9.
Pangea 08.06.21	Yolk Regal Worm
someone 08.06.21	Hermann Szobel Regal Worm
wham49 08.06.21	yolk szobel
Divaman 08.06.21	Guys, just take note - this isn't pick your top 2, it's Jordsjo vs. Yolk and Szobel vs. Regal Worm. So someone, you have to revise your vote.
Divaman 08.06.21	Having said that, my vote is: Jordsjo Regal Worm
Zig 08.06.21	Yolk Hermann Szobel
GhandhiLion 08.06.21	Yolk Szobel is great
GhandhiLion 08.06.21	Regal Worm sucks
Jethro42 08.06.21	Bad information.
zakalwe 08.06.21	Regal Worm Jordsjo
e210013 08.06.21	In relation to the two first ones, I never had any doubt about them. Both are great, but I think I put it very clear for the first minute my preferences. I felt, and it was confirmed along the tourney, that Nattfiolen of Jordsjo was my preference of the albums of the all tourney. Sincerelly, I think this is the best album of the tourney. Thanks Inoculaeted, and also to you Jethro when you mention it to me. I'm sure that one of these days I'm going to review this album here. In relation to the two second ones, I always put it very clear that Szobel of Hermann Szobel was, probably, the biggest surprise of the all tourney. This is really an amazing undecovered album, a true prog pearl of the 70's. About Pig Views of Regal Worm, I also think that I also put it very clear when I said that it's a great and surprising album, but that I never was very sure about what to think about it. So, it was the only album that I've doubts about my voting in the previous round. Sorry Jethro, but this is what I feel and think. The album is great, but I really think that you chose the wrong horse. But, this is only my opinion. In the next tourney, if there's another one, I promise you that I'm going to be more attentive to your tips, really. Lol. So, my voting must be to: Jordsjo Hermann Szobel
e210013 08.06.21	@ someone As Diva said, you cannot choose Hermann Szobel and Regal Worm. You must choose between 1 or 2 and 3 or 4.
Jethro42 08.06.21	@e21, fair enough my friend. I have to say; I was by a hair to take Jordsjo with me, but in the last minute, I decided to take Regal Worm instead.
e210013 08.06.21	No problem Jethro. Your choice is great too. My only problem with your album is that it has too much influences at the same time. Some people think that it's a great thing, but I'm not so sure about that. Probably, it's only me.
Inoculaeted 08.06.21	Jordsjo Regal Worm
MrSirLordGentleman 08.06.21	Aw Seru Giran lost. I'll go all in with Yolk as my second favorite of the tournament 1. Yolk 2. Szobel
porcupinetheater 08.06.21	1. Yolk 2. Regal Worm The 2 fave’s of the tourney, lemon-squeezy, etc
bgillesp 08.06.21	Jordsjo and Regal Worm for me
bgillesp 08.06.21	Regal worm is the only of my top 3 left so I am rooting for it
Jethro42 08.06.21	It's a good thing, bgillesp :)
Jethro42 08.07.21	Jordsjo and Regal Worm
someone 08.07.21	Jordsjo Hermann Szobel
Divaman 08.07.21	It's crazy how close these matchups are.
TwigTW 08.07.21	So close... but I'm up against Jethro, so it's an honor no matter which way it goes. Jordsjo Szobel
Jethro42 08.07.21	Hey, but I need some more points hahah I've seen you coming from a distance with your Szobel, Twig! Jordsjo is in a good position so far.
Friday13th 08.07.21	Yolk Regal Worm
Friday13th 08.07.21	Jordsjo: 8 Yolk: 6 Szobel: 7 Regal Worm: 7
Friday13th 08.07.21	@GhandhiLion have you actually heard all four albums, or are you just trolling?
e210013 08.08.21	Friday, you forgot to count one of us. In my counts we have here: Jordsjo: normaloctagon, Divaman, zakalwe, e210013, Inoculaeted, bgillesp, Jethro42, someone and TwigTW. Yolk: Pangea, wham49, Zig, MrSirLordGentleman, porcupinetheater and Friday13th. Hermann Szobel: normaloctagon, wham49, Zig, e210013, MrSirLordGentleman, someone, TwigTW. Regal Worm: Pangea, Divaman, zakalwe, Inoculaeted, porcupinetheater, bgillesp, Jethro42 and Friday13th. So: Jordsjo: 9 Yolk: 6 Hermann Szobel: 7 Regal Worm: 8 This, without te votes of GhandhiLion.
GhandhiLion 08.08.21	@Friday13th yes.
SharkTooth 08.08.21	2 and 4
Divaman 08.08.21	Still ridiculously close.
Jethro42 08.08.21	One simple vote can make a huge difference.
bgillesp 08.08.21	@Ghandi yes you have heard them or yes you were trolling?
Divaman 08.08.21	Lol, I was wondering that myself. I think it was yes he's heard them, but I wasn't sure. : )
porcupinetheater 08.08.21	Count Ghandhi’s votes. I know his pie chart has jazz/psychedelic/noise rock in it, which is of course cooler than the rest of ours, but there is no need to be intimidated
Inoculaeted 08.08.21	Count every vote! Count every vote!
Mythodea 08.08.21	Solar - Yolk Regal Worm - Pig Views
GhandhiLion 08.08.21	yes, but more importantly PROGRESSIVE ROCK 7%
TheIntruder 08.08.21	Since my contestant Mainstream of Quiet Sun is no more in contest and only two of the albums I choose in the elimination round are, this turned to be an easy choice to me. So, my vote goes naturaly to Jordsjo and Hermann Szobel.
aydross121 08.09.21	Where is opeth
e210013 08.09.21	It isn't and cannot be, aydross. This is a discovery tourney for less known or almost unknown prog albums. Which means that only can be admitted albums with less than 40 ratings on Sputnik.
porcupinetheater 08.09.21	I vote for 1. Opeth - Blackwater Park 2. Ghandhi’s prog pie slice
bgillesp 08.09.21	I mean I don’t care if we count them if he actually tells us he has heard them all. He only rated Szobel
e210013 08.09.21	The final decision must be taken by Friday. He is the man responsible of the tourney and that all rules are accomplished.
Friday13th 08.09.21	Jordsjo: normaloctagon, Divaman, zakalwe, e210013, Inoculaeted, bgillesp, Jethro42, someone and TwigTW, Intruder Yolk: Pangea, wham49, Zig, MrSirLordGentleman, porcupinetheater and Friday13th, Ghandi, Sharktooth, Mythodea Hermann Szobel: normaloctagon, wham49, Zig, e210013, MrSirLordGentleman, someone, TwigTW, Ghandi, Intruder Regal Worm: Pangea, Divaman, zakalwe, Inoculaeted, porcupinetheater, bgillesp, Jethro42 and Friday13th, Sharktooth, Mythodea So: Jordsjo: 10 Yolk: 9 Hermann Szobel: 9 Regal Worm: 10
Friday13th 08.09.21	@e2 thanks, your tally was correct
Friday13th 08.09.21	this is a crazy semi-final round
e210013 08.09.21	Absolutely. One of the best and most exciting.
Jethro42 08.09.21	Damn right!
porcupinetheater 08.09.21	Holy scrote this is a nail biter
bgillesp 08.09.21	Wow that is tight. I think we should just call it right here with 19 votes (totally not just because my picks are winning, haha)
Inoculaeted 08.09.21	Whoa.
Jethro42 08.09.21	Not gonna lie, I was by a hair to choose Jordsjo as my entry at first.
porcupinetheater 08.09.21	Hey, Hey Milo Come vote B/c your opinion is held near and dear to our hearts and not just because you ranked yolk above Jordsjo in the elim round
Pangea 08.09.21	vote yolk & szobel for maximum chaos
Inoculaeted 08.09.21	stfu porc
porcupinetheater 08.09.21	Sorry Inoc, it's a prog-eat-prog world out here
Jethro42 08.09.21	Are you serious Pangea? Gosh
Pangea 08.09.21	i'm joking haha. would be kinda funny though
Jethro42 08.09.21	Yeah, kinda...
GhandhiLion 08.09.21	@bgillesp I don't rate everything I have listened to.
bgillesp 08.09.21	Fair enough, you just never actually said that you listened to the albums. Friday is counting you regardless though
MiloRuggles 08.09.21	Sorry I'm late. Yolk and szobel, and seriously not just for laughs
Jethro42 08.09.21	@bgillesp oups
bgillesp 08.09.21	Noooooooo. Lol, this is gonna be a nail biter for even longer now
Jethro42 08.09.21	I'm don't play anymore
Jethro42 08.09.21	No but seriously...
TwigTW 08.09.21	I heard a rumor, that in the case of a four-way tie, the winning order will be determined alphabetically by the first name of the band or artist ;-)
bgillesp 08.09.21	I heard whoever's album art has the most spiders wins
Jethro42 08.09.21	yessss now you speak.
Jethro42 08.09.21	Tarantula had more though.
porcupinetheater 08.09.21	In the event of a tie, the rec'cers of each record have to travel to a neutral meeting place and see who can pee farther
MrSirLordGentleman 08.09.21	"I heard whoever's album art has the most spiders wins" Speaking of artwork, we can all agree on Yolk winning the tournament in that category, right?
Friday13th 08.09.21	I think an album art contest to settle a four-way tie would be fun.
porcupinetheater 08.09.21	Lmao that would be so unkind to Szobel
MrSirLordGentleman 08.09.21	"Lmao that would be so unkind to Szobel" as a sucker for architecture, I love the Flatiron Building, so it'd be my second pick out of these four, after Yolk
Inoculaeted 08.10.21	In the album art contest Yolk would wreck everyone’s shit. Fuckin love that cover.
Jethro42 08.10.21	We have four winners, bravo!
Jethro42 08.10.21	Or what about doing another round and changing match ups?
MiloRuggles 08.10.21	What if we call in a special guest voter?
Divaman 08.10.21	Geez.
Mythodea 08.10.21	>what about doing another round and changing match ups this seems interesting
porcupinetheater 08.10.21	Can we get mx to break the tie?
Mythodea 08.10.21	or we could vote with order of preference like we did in the previous round
MiloRuggles 08.10.21	I know a particularly gnarly bit of blood magick that we could use to revive Bigglestein to break the tie? We'll need to sacrifice porc, but he seems like he wouldn't mind
porcupinetheater 08.10.21	Straight up doing me a favor let’s make it happen
bgillesp 08.10.21	Lol. I’m not a fan of the album art tiebreaker but Idk what the best way might be. The ranking system from last round may be the best?
e210013 08.10.21	I also think the same. I think the ranking system from last round may be the best way to solve this mess.
Inoculaeted 08.10.21	Neutral meeting place. Air guitar competition.
Friday13th 08.10.21	Lotta fun ideas. I like the idea of posting a youtube video for air guitar competition, preferably on "21st Century Schizoid Man." Or alternatively, air drumming to "Tom Sawyer." Get your mean mean stride on. JK, we're going to do it the fair way with a ranking. Final Round is up!
