MoM 09.26.23	@Johnny understandable! 3, 4, and 10 had me the most conflicted and 7 made me think twice. I’ve never heard The Necks, but everyone’s positive comments about them make me hesitate so I’m not more conflicted in all this

Trifolium 09.27.23	Oh no no no no some of these H U R T by even looking at them 😖🍃🍃🍃 Really good line up indeed. Best one yet agreed.

fogza 09.27.23	I think city of caterpillar should win, would be so hardcore to crown a band with 2 albums
Demon of the Fall 09.27.23	1. City of Caterpillar 2. The Jesus Lizard 3. Cocteau Twins 4. Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds 5. Portishead 6. Low 7. Amon Tobin 8. Burial 9. Stereolab 10. The Cure mostly easy this round, although screw The Field vs Stereolab when match-up 8 exists, still an easy choice there with Burial. Sorry Can, but Portishead are a true love and we only recently fell for each other overall a decent selection and guess I'll just wait and see what comes next as I didn't understand the 5 artist elimination thing
Trifolium 09.27.23	1. Kayo Dot 2. The Necks 3. Cocteau Twins 4. Ryuichi Sakamoto 5. Portishead 6. Yeule 7. Amon Tobin 8. Burial 9. Stereolab 10. MF DOOM Painful.

PotsyTater 09.27.23	Imagine voting for can, the cure, or pig destroyer in their respective match ups
PotsyTater 09.27.23	Also voting slipknot over burial is fucking hilarious and I’m here for it

Mort. 09.27.23	while voting slipknot over burial is very funny, it is also complete degenaracy

pizzamachine 09.27.23	7. Amon Tobin 8: Slipknot Imagine taking a vote on a music website so seriously you resort to insults. Lols who does that - not me!
Pikazilla 09.27.23	while voting slipknot over burial is very funny, it is also complete degeneracy [2]
pizzamachine 09.27.23	Do it for the lols, don’t be scared
0xME 09.27.23	there is a lot of discussion based on personal preference when it comes to music/art. but sometimes there is an objective truth. 8 is one of those cases. I like metal as much as the next guy but there is no way in any metric possible that Slipnot deserves to be even still in the running
pizzamachine 09.27.23	Just voting for the underdog cuz Burial will obvs win
0xME 09.27.23	that is the mentality that made trump's presidency possible
AsleepInTheBack 09.27.23	“ there is a lot of discussion based on personal preference when it comes to music/art. but sometimes there is an objective truth. 8 is one of those cases. I like metal as much as the next guy but there is no way in any metric possible that Slipnot deserves to be even still in the running” Why not?
AlexKzillion 09.27.23	what do you guys think a corey taylor presidential campaign would look like?
0xME 09.27.23	can an average artist by any metric survive 3 head to head duels against other artists? sure, depending on who votes. but there were a LOT of better artists eliminated from this contest and Slipknot got by on memes and good MUs.
Ryus 09.27.23	i woudlve voted slipknot over at least 2 of these remaining artists
0xME 09.27.23	"what do you guys think a corey taylor presidential campaign would look like?" exactly
AlexKzillion 09.27.23	i would legitimately vote slipknot over every artist here except for doom and city of caterpillar and then i'd vote slipknot over them too for the memes
0xME 09.27.23	"i woudlve voted slipknot over at least 2 of these remaining artists" good for you. you'd still be wrong. "i would vote slipknot over every artist here except for doom and city of caterpillar" I don't know if I can help you then (but keep on meme'ing)
Ryus 09.27.23	ur 5s are wrong
0xME 09.27.23	oh noe

MiloRuggles 09.28.23	1. Kayo Dot 2. i'm a One Album Hero on both of these cats, fuck, uh The Jesus Lizard 3. The Prodigy 4. Ryuichi Sakamoto 5. Portishead but I know i'm wrong and need to Can more 6. Yeule 7. Amon Tobin 8. Burial 9. The Field 10. MF DOOM
Icebloom 09.28.23	1. 2. 3. Cocteau Twins 4. Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds 5. Portishead 6. Low 7. 8. 9. 10. The Cure
Demon of the Fall 09.28.23	'Imagine voting for can, the cure, or pig destroyer in their respective match ups' I would've voted for Can over the majority of the artists here, they just got the worst possible draw. The Cure are fine, even though I've actually voted against them twice so far (no, not R.E.M, Nina & Miles obviously). They shouldn't have made it this far. I just don't know MF Doom well at all, but their list of conquests is impressive, hmm. yeah voting for Pig Destroyer is just as insane as voting for Slipknot here, for me. Slipknot are worse, but then Tobin > Burial and it's not close
JohnnyoftheWell 09.28.23	fuck it i'm voting pig destroyer and also slipknot purely to spite pizza
Demon of the Fall 09.28.23	disingenuous votes will be culled, this is your final warning
JohnnyoftheWell 09.28.23	who's culling Tobin discog > Terrifyer > any single Tobin album > Pig Destroyer the ethics are blurry
DadKungFu 09.28.23	Prowler>Terrifyer though
Demon of the Fall 09.28.23	your guilty conscience will prevail
MiloRuggles 09.28.23	I was gonna go ham on Slipknot round after round but then I stumbled across the blurb for that book Corey Taylor wrote and... Now that I'm thinking it over it makes it even funnier, I might amend that one later on
JohnnyoftheWell 09.28.23	Prowler got the highlights and a stronger finish but not the crackhead bulldozer pacing and energy, which is what counts in this neighbourhood
Mort. 09.28.23	T'he counsel of Sputnik non-guitar-music-enjoyers have voted to remove you from our ranks.

JohnnyoftheWell 09.28.23	the bar for poser comments has just risen lfg
Mort. 09.28.23	also please nobody tell potsy i voted piggy d
Minortimbo12 09.28.23	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Slipknot 9 10 MF DOOM Votes! Votes! Who want any?
DavidYowi 09.28.23	Look I vote from the heart let me vote for my haunted hayride bullshit
MoM 09.28.23	“ yeah voting for Pig Destroyer is just as insane as voting for Slipknot here, for me.” I love Prowler and Terrifyer, but Amon Tobin’s discog is extra special. That shit clicked for me in that “where’s all this been all my life” kind of way
pizzamachine 09.28.23	“slipknot purely to spite pizza” How does this spite me lol
AsleepInTheBack 09.28.23	Well fuck I guess I need to discog run Amon Tobin in the next 24 hours and then still vote Piggy because Terrifyer
JohnnyoftheWell 09.28.23	correct slipknot is a cruel long game, you will see soon enough
Ryus 09.28.23	is there any amon tobin that doesnt sound like james bond music if there is then thats probably going to be my favorite. ive heard most of his stuff but dont remember it all
JohnnyoftheWell 09.28.23	ISAM bby
MoM 09.28.23	@ Ryus I’d say ISAM onward (including his project Figueroa, which i also love). https://youtu.be/JATZS5_Qi80?si=VBlqqCays8wbejON

Vercetti 10.01.23	Too much Burial, not enough Slipknot
JohnnyoftheWell 10.02.23	CLOSED and RESULTS UP gotta say, Portishead having a higher victory margin than Burial was not on my radar for this. ig get fucked Can?
pizzamachine 10.02.23	I was right, Burial won
someone 10.02.23	pleasantly surprised at Doom's victory
Trifolium 10.02.23	Most of these are good results!!! We're getting there!
someone 10.02.23	that means that further on there will be no good match-ups. but them's the breaks every year sooner or later
Pikazilla 10.02.23	wow can got obliterated
Trifolium 10.02.23	Yeah, but look at who they were up against 😮✨✨✨✨💯 Poor CAN. I would have voted for them in soooo many combos. But not this one.
someone 10.02.23	can't
botb 10.02.23	Rough round results tbh
DoofDoof 10.02.23	yup, bit boring with Pig Destroyer gone thought they had one more destroy in them
AsleepInTheBack 10.02.23	sad oink
Mort. 10.02.23	mr john nathan, new round
AlexKzillion 10.02.23	Burial only won in the eyes of the FAKE SPUTNIK OLIGARCHY. Slipknot voters concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a RIGGED VOTE!
Demon of the Fall 10.02.23	wholesome results I knew Portishead would win, but my word that was one hell of a landslide. Poor Can.
Demon of the Fall 10.02.23	How any wildcards make it through? Not sure how that works. I just had that sudden sense of dread when I realised Stereolab (and to a lesser extent Low / Tobin / NC) aren't automatically in
someone 10.02.23	can't spell Slipknot without "slip" and "not" and also "dumbass shit music"
JohnnyoftheWell 10.02.23	fuck i overslept get your culling hats on, nerds "yup, bit boring with Pig Destroyer gone" just you wait for the video, they goin out in style
someone 10.02.23	destroyed by pigs in retaliation?
AlexKzillion 10.02.23	SLIPKNOT WON THE VOTE IN A LANDSLIDE, but remember, I only think in terms of legal votes, not all the fake voters and fraud that miraculously floated in from everywhere! What a disgrace!
someone 10.02.23	there was a case of a voter crossing two ID borders to vote as an alt. that is despicable, indeed
CamiloG 10.02.23	Very interesting results…
