Voted for Cornershop, Anderson, and Sparks.
Entreaties offered.
Cornershop will be an excellent revisiting of alt-90s. Super record. Singh is a brilliant pop craftsperson.
Laurie Anderson has not been touched upon in this thread. Big Science was my first CD purchase in 1989. I gotz reasons to enjoy this work. After seeing the trailer for Heart of a Dog I got all misty. You got yer Bulgakov reference. Your Lou Reed mourning. An album from Anderson, which is rare.
Sparks. Rare is the band whose song and album titles are usually a pun of fun. Let's take a Proper Gander at this, their third record.
Homily bleated.
I know this might be invoking the demon by asking for the opposite, but Kanye is a tired-ass doofus. I listened to more than a few tracks of this when it received nomination, and I couldn't say that I hated it; however, I find there is little worse than the telegraphing of intention, which I myself am guilty of often and extremely self-critical of when I'm self-aware of it. Maybe like the preceding, DAMMIT! Pedantic pretension is our zeitgeist whether we like it or not. I, in the case of this artist, do not.

Early Simple Minds were stunningly good, y'all - let me prove it to ya, and then I can shut up about it.
PP Arnold, too. There's input from The Rolling Stones and The Small Faces on this album. You don't get that very often.

I'll be giving Cornershop and Sparks a listen regardless, for sure. Haven't heard them yet. |

Just poking fun at what is slowly but surely becoming a running joke, if only in my head. |

We should all vote for Sleeptime Gorilla Blues Explosion because its Djse (and a Sack of Cats) birthday. It would be the best birthday gift a fella could ask for, if that fella happened to be a Sleeptime Gorilla Blues Explosion fan. |

Oh, so the forumites respond to Djse (and a Sack of Cats)'s pleas for pity? Fine: Vote for Cornershop because their hit single sounds like my name. It was made for me. |

FWIW I'm actually working on a "Gateway to Geekery"-ish article on Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (as well as related bands like Idiot Flesh, The Book of Knots, Faun Fables, Rabbit Rabbit, Tin Hat, and Free Salamander Exhibit) for when this campaign inevitably falls to the might of...Cornershop. |

Well I'm going to listen to your thing instead of Cornershop in protest.

Okay you whiners. You have less than six hours, break the tie. Whoever wins had better be better than the Beatles.
