>tfw talk talk beat Kanye

>Mozart, Frank Sinatra, Nirvana, Hildegard, Stockhausen, Scott Walker, Sonic Youth, Genesis, Aretha Franklin, Cardiacs, This Heat, The Tallest Man on Earth, and Sweet Trip all lost
Sup Forums was a mistake.

Reminder that if you think Kraftwerk is better than Fahey you haven't listened to Fahey

>Radiohead already out
wew

I know right

Reminder that wu-tang have 1 good album and Yes have 8-10

This is already looking better than the previous competitions. I mean, I love Radiohead, but the assraping they gave the other threads isn't very good

What assraping?

one album that you have heard you mean

I've listened to both. I think Fahey (particularly his late-career gamelan-influenced stuff) is underrated, but Kraftwerk's influence in electronic music is second only to Stockhausen (who shouldn't have been eliminated, but oh well)

Radiohead and Kayne being out means that we hopefully won't have the /r/igging situation of the album tournament

Did you see the album and song thread? There were like 2 Radiohead songs/albums in the semifinals. I feel like this round is a little bit less predictable at least

can you rec me some of fahey's gamelan inspired songs or albums? i love gamelan and would like to hear it

This is probably the best example (and the Womblife album in general):
youtube.com/watch?v=qjRIYJV0WKY

Yeah but at least they deserved to be in the semi finals

Please vote for Weezer, Stereolab, Suicide, The Beach Boys, and The Olivia Tremor Control. ;_;

>voting for weezer
agree 100% on the others tho

>Godspeed beating My Bloody Valentine


wrong.

>Unwound is losing to Tribe
Guys I love the Low End Theory too but don't do this

>Another easy win for Rich
>Another easy win for GYBE
>Another easy win for Eno

Proof that Sup Forums has no taste

6/8 b8

wtf beethoven is better than radiohead but the velvet underground is better than mozart? leeeel

Anyone who unironically likes Eno should have their ears checked

>Scott Walker losing to dr dre
lmao kys yourselves

t. contrarian

yes precisely

>Talk talk beat Kanye
Confirmed only fags are voting

>kanye
>having any discernible talent
lmaoing @ u 2bh

>still unironically liking kanye
i've been absent from Sup Forums for a while is this meme acc alive

>Boris is better than GBV
youre all dead to me

KEEP IT 300
LIKE THE ROMANS
300 BITCHES
WHERE THE TROJANS
kanye is a jeeneyuss

you're retarded if you think Kanye is more talented than Talk Talk

It's not hard to be better than Radiohead

Ok how the FUCK did Kanye, Radiohead, AND MBV lose in the first round? Sup Forums explain yourself.

I don't give a shit about the Talk Talk vs Kanye feud, I'm more butthurt over the Beethoven beats Radiohead shit

1. kanye is bad
2. Radiohead is bad
3. MBV is bad
4. I used a proxy to ensure Sup Forumscore dies early on

because kanye is garbage
because beethoven is better than radiohead
because GY!BE is better than MBV, only just, and MBV are still fantastic, but still its a 1on1 tournament

MBV lost because it was against another heavy Sup Forumscore contender, Radiohead lost because a lot of /classical/fags are in this thread, and Kanye lost because Talk Talk is better

This whole competition is a fucking joke and just shows what shit taste Sup Forums has

I think that's a fair comparison.

Best and most influenical artist in a 500 year old tradition > like top 150 artist in 60 year old tradition

Best and most influential artist in a 60 year old tradition == 7th best in a 500 year old tradition. (Mozart is overrated)

Could someone explain why the artists in the first round aren't paired by similarity? That seems to make more sense that seemingly random pairings. Plus, the artists would get more varied and general in the final rounds.

Daily reminder to PROTECT YA NECK
strawpoll.me/12684314

Because Sup Forums has 5 opinions for each 2 posters

Kanye is the greatest force to be reckoned with in 21st century popular music and has proved himself many times to be the most innovative in the evolution of hiphop.
Talk Talk is a cool post rock band.

Also reminder to vote Toshimaru Nakamura and Faust, so we can prove that we have better taste than leddit

>Neutral Milk Hotel losing
keep it up boys

godspeed is also Sup Forumscore

t. contrarian

NMH is a good band even though they are a meme

>King Crimson beating Zappa
>Literally have two or three decent albums

how can anyone hold this opinion

wrong

Nice bait

It's true. Anything KC can do, Zappa can do better.

Damn Modest Mouse isn't doing great at the moment :(

>Scott Walker lost to Dr Dre

Hahahahaha

Talk Talk and Godspeed are both Sup Forumscore

Reminder to vote for Charles Mingus

That's the point. They're good. JUST good. we don't need to talk about them all the fucking time

please do
I get off every time Swans gets eliminated quickly. I love them so much.

Yup

>gbv lost to chink meme metal
Both have each made like 50 albums and about 3 good ones, seems a fair comparison.

>Boris
>Only 3 good albums
Woah there

Polls close at 9 PM EST

I didn't realize Sup Forums liked fahey

Fuck off fatass

>GY!BE beat MBV
>Wagner beat Burzum
>Beethoven beat Radiohead
A+
>Kraftwerk beat Pere Ubu
Embarrassing.
>Wu-Tang beat Slint
Disgusting
>Arcade Fire beat Red House Painters
Absolutely and Utterly Appalling.

no u

You mad?

No, I'm feeling second hand embarrassment for anyone who thinks Kraftwerk, Wu-Tang, or Arcade Fire are better than Pere Ubu, Slint, or Red House Painters.

How often are the rounds?

Mind explaining why?

oh im sorry

I can't wait for a bunch of teenagers to complain that a bunch of other teenagers don't share the same taste as them.

Talentless Hacks vs Talented Geniuses

That isn't an explanation.

Listen to all 6 and tell me your ears aren't giving you the explanation.

I agree with all of them accept for one, that said if you think what you are saying is fact you would be able to explain yourself.

Of course it's not fact, there's hardly anything that's fact. I'm not saying they got an answer wrong like a Spelling Bee, I'm saying they have horrible taste in music.

just swingin' by to say that the faces in OP pic, before enlarging look like Donald Trump, Warren Buffet and John Podesta.

Also, I'm interested which one you disagree with. Not gonna argue with you, just Curious.

>Pere Ubu lost to the Coldplay of Krautrock

>1. kanye is bad
True.
>2. Radiohead is bad
False, but compared to Beethoven I guess they are.
>3. MBV is bad
False, and GY!BE are shit.
>4. I used a proxy to ensure Sup Forumscore dies early on
Kill yourself.

>The Smiths will beat Faust
>Swans will beat Mingus

Wu and Kraftwerk deserved those Ws, I study music at a Jesuit confectory and have been approached on numerous occasions to help engineer AAA albums and singles on vinyl, my opinion is objectively worth more than yours

Kraftwerk. I love Pere Ubu still. I saw him live recently and it was fantastic but I still have to give it to Kraftwerk.

You seriously think this is a explanation?
I should stop taking bait posts seriously.

Kraftwerk are terrible.

Do you think that because Sup Forums thinks that?

oh yeah
you're right, my bad

AHAHAHAHAHA!
Your opinion is absolute trash. Go """"help"""" make another shitty album with 0 (ZERO) artistic worth.

>Sup Forums thinks that
Clearly not.

NOW IF I FUCK THIS MODEL

I will and you watch how much pussy I get, I'm secretly videotaping all of it analog and will send you a crate of copies, VHS raw, vinyl resurgence, opening a boutique in Hollywood, you have to have a mustache to enter, monopoly $ only, how's that sound faggot?

Tool loses to literally who
Fuck this place

...

OP put Beethoven vs Radiohead to boot RH early he admitted to it
