09.27.21 | you can vote for one band. list is 5/5 albums only so it should probably be difficult idk.
Boris discog > Heads discog though alas, so
boris |
fogza
09.27.21 | Not really big into either band, but I'll go:
1. Talking Heads |
nightbringer
09.27.21 | guess this is over for me |
evilford
09.27.21 | Talking heads |
parksungjoon
09.27.21 | Talking Heads |

09.27.21 | 1. Talking Heads!!!!!!!!!!! |
evilford
09.27.21 | I must avenge ISIS
and other phrases that get me placed on government watch lists |
nightbringer
09.27.21 | Aye, ISIS have entirely the right approach
(to post-metal) |
Sinternet
09.27.21 | Love both, but will try to even the early votes out a little and go Boris |

09.27.21 | Talking Heads |

09.27.21 | Talking Heads |
JesperL
09.27.21 | idk boris that well but i have never felt like peeling my fucking eyes out while listening to them so
1. boris |
nightbringer
09.27.21 | I probably have a slight preference for...
Boris |
Pheromone
09.27.21 | did i ever tell you about my boris t shirt |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.27.21 | yeah all arbitrary (or otherwise) rivalries aside, this is a far more pleasing final than last year and all of Bowie, Coltrane, Danny Brown, Converge, Buckethead, Isis, Unwound, Melt-Banana, Envy, motW and Tim Hecker went out nobly and for a good cause, blessed RIP their names deserve mucho glory for this
also based that we got rid of Deftones |
evilford
09.27.21 | Hell yeah |
CottonSalad
09.27.21 | This is actually a garbage outcome lol |
CottonSalad
09.27.21 | “also based that we got rid of Deftones”
The silver lining I came for. |
evilford
09.27.21 | Id be lying if I said I wasn't surprised that boris got this far. I know this site likes them a lot but had no idea they were top 2 sputcore material |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.27.21 | ez best case scenario from the semi (and probs quarter), sucks that Bowie went down as a collateral but we can't all be grinners
"The silver lining I came for."
renewable every year, i hope |
CottonSalad
09.27.21 | Danny Brown v. Hecker was a dream outcome lol |
CottonSalad
09.27.21 | I should vote tho….
Boris |
evilford
09.27.21 | Even tho I technically should vote bowie over heads, it's gr8 that heads got this far and they rule ahrd and deserve the attention |
JesperL
09.27.21 | in all fairness to the finalists: at least there's no alleged abusers among them i believe |
nightbringer
09.27.21 | now there's your silver lining |
Pheromone
09.27.21 | johnny boris shirt did i |
SteakByrnes
09.27.21 | I vote Bowie |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.27.21 | hey phero jam the fragile |
Space Jester
09.27.21 | Boris |
nightbringer
09.27.21 | If you squint hard enough, 'Boris' could be 'Bowie'. |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.27.21 | if you trip hard enough, Urban Dance could be the second half of Low? |
nightbringer
09.27.21 | Theoretically, I agree. |
parksungjoon
09.27.21 | The very notion that any mode of genuinely extreme music could percolate without the celebratory pandemonium generated by the gleefully seditious, and magnificently sordid, Throbbing Gristle is not only implausible; it’s nigh-on impossible. Excluding the creepy Dadaism of The Residents, the ‘70s produced nothing to rival the quixotic and profoundly nightmarish clamour of TG’s atonal debut; with their impenetrable, libidinous ejaculations of corrosive ennui and diabolic kraftwerkian rancour, they inculcated a seething, industrial affront to popular culture; baiting audiences with icy, mechanoid barbarianism that remains as perversely enigmatic today as when originally conceived. Part two the endless not ululates downer, intestinal gurglings, leaking tainted folds of vocal dementia; a murky morass of exhilarating obfuscation, gradually sublimating the listener’s id beneath a clotted, calamitous shroud of despondency. For over two decades they have excelled at ruthlessly conjoining disparate genre’s; brutally dislocating conventional musical motifs, and lovingly reassembling their derisive parody of pop music. That so much of Throbbing Gristle’s inspirational absurdity still retains the power to unnerve, is arguably due to their singular genius of unearthing malefic oscillations, mimicking the covert, quivering squelch of oozing human viscera. Part two the endless not is both eerie and euphoric, transparent and infuriatingly cryptic, diseased and vigorous; this is painfully corporeal music, using not so much scales as living cells of sound which they corrupt and metastasize into shrieking gobs of passion; similar to the bravura way both David Lynch and Werner Herzog deify dysfunction, TG also author mesmeric parables around the extraordinary and defiantly prosaic nature of mankind. Much of part two the endless not plays out like a potent laudanum reverie, engorged with febrile convulsions of naked desire; where Genesis P-Orridge’s sibilant tones offer plaintive, breathy non sequiturs over unctuous, grimy nodes of electronic discord. Incredibly, their beauteous ‘Rabbit Snare’ with its hazy, opiated, jazz inflections and neo-noir allusions is merely one incandescent composition within this fleshy kaleidoscope of galvanizing auditory splendour.

Also, I guess it makes sense that Talking Heads make the finals every year. Solid, uncontroversial band that appeals to the most people. Kinda surprised Floyd beat them last year tbh |

09.27.21 | Talking Heads is the right choice but I'll abstain as I didn't vote for so many rounds, also I'm protesting as it's clearly fixed.
Also will be funny as hell if Boris wins and then we can call them Sputcore forever *evil laugh*. |
Colton
09.27.21 | hahahah oh man. if Talking Heads win, the implications of that will be massive in a way that I don’t think this site fully grasps yet. I’ll have to make a list to explain. But this will change everything forever |

09.27.21 | Yeah I voted talking heads cuz I think they influenced Taking Back Sunday and the name Boris sounds awful. That’s all I know about either. Don’t think they ever had strong community interaction here on Sputnik so it doesn’t really make sense they are the final. |

What a comment. You act like the voting here was representing the entire Sput community, when only a handful of users even voted, and some people likely even skipped rounds. Also, only certain bands/artists even made it into the pools. If you take this at all seriously, or this website, then I don't know what to tell you. |
