09.21.21 | It’s truly a painful decision. At the end of the day, though, Bowie’s simply too prolific to vote against.
It also confirms your theory that people voting Bowie aren’t getting laid. I’m married, haven’t been laid in years! 🤠 |

09.21.21 | Isis had one or two albums people liked for one or two years about one or two decades ago. Lucky to be here unless…
We mean the Afghan comeback |
Kompys2000
09.21.21 | I guess I feel a little better about some of my faves losing to ISIS now that they've made it so far but I've never really been able to get into that band beyond the level of "yep this is definitely a post-metal band playing post-metal songs" |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.21.21 | ngl i post in both isis and MA threads, and the former have been way more active lately. isis also have the most consistent discog of anyone left in this tourno, discounting coltrane
|
Kompys2000
09.21.21 | More consistent than portis?
Not that I have any real stake in defending them I just thought they were widely regarded as v consistent |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.21.21 | Phead are defs in the conversation, but their s/t can't compete with Dummy or Third imo. Same goes for ITAOT within the caliphate, but that has twice as many stellar albums backing it up
|
DoofDoof
09.21.21 | I like ISIS but I mean they’re not even the level of a Neurosis let alone who they’re duking it out with at this stage.
I’d have Fugazi ahead of Unwound too.
Neurosis and Fugazi swapped in I’d be happier this ‘final battle’ was a bit more even |
Trifolium
09.21.21 | No no no no untrue S/T is exactly on par, wonderfully consistent band.
Also nightbringer 🌞 |
nightbringer
09.21.21 | The Isis threads here are still pretty active, with new people getting into them every so often. It's not just Oceanic and Panopticon, Wavering Radiant has entered the same status for many. And Isis are very on brand for Sput and one of the most lauded bands ever on Sput. There is very little talk of their albums having aged badly. Quite the opposite. So it seems completely unsurprising that Isis got far. Whether Isis actually made good music is another question. |
DoofDoof
09.21.21 | Wavering Radiant isn’t as good, s’alright. As is the one before ‘Oceanic’. |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.21.21 | Neurosis vs. Isis is a boring argument and almost always boils down to what kinds of atmospheres people prefer rather than the considerable talents of either band (WR is peak Isis though, and you don't get to play the what-about-sludge-postmetal card and then shrug off Celestial)
As for Fugazi, they're solid as anything but don't rly have an album that can compete with Leaves, and I feel the majority of their tracks are too composed and kewl to hit the same peaks of violence and disgust as earlier Unwound. Would be happy to have seen em hear ahead of Massive Attack potentially tho
|
nightbringer
09.21.21 | But if the question is "what does the Sput userbase like?" the answer is that a chunk of them think Wavering Radiant is roughly on par with the two more traditional Isis classics. |
DoofDoof
09.21.21 | Neurosis were there first and have an absolute mammoth discog is my main point.
Fugazi vs Unwound is more that Fugazi are slightly more influential, popular and famous.
Tbh Massive Attack vs ISIS is quite fair in that both have two classic albums, one you can make an argument for being good, and then a couple of lesser ones
I have no problem with ISIS and Unwound being here, both great bands beloved of this site sure…but I think they’re probably gone at this stage |

09.21.21 | I only have to say two things:
1) There's absolutely no way WR is best ISIS (probably third or fourth actually)
2) Neurosis have way more classics in their discog than ISIS (Oceanic + Panopticon vs all Neurosis releases from SaZ to GttR included) |
fogza
09.21.21 | Fugazi are brilliant and massively consistent. I get that Unwound are more "difficult" and maybe that gives them cred or something, but for me Fugazi are smart while still being the right level of accessible - the balance is perfect. I'm also fairly certain they've had a massive impact with not just their music, but their ethos. |

JohnnyoftheWell
09.24.21 | ngl unwound are probably maybe still my fav band, and boris are probably the only act here i have no issue with knocking them out |
Demon of the Fall
09.24.21 | Yeah I just don't get Boris, it was mostly Unwound I was talking about. Melt-Banana are great, but my expectations would've been low. Maaaaaybe maudlin could've done everyone a favour though, that would've been welcome.
The fact that Coltrane knocked out both Boards of Canada and Neurosis is actually quite cool, even if I wouldn't have made him the victor in either of those scenarios. Respect.
