Awful picks

>THE SMITHS beating Ween
oh im mad
literally the faggiest band of all time. proto nu-malecore

The Smiths' best album is a LOT better than Ween's best album

>implying Ween that doesn't describe Ween

this isn't as bad a selection as the albums tourney was at this stage

shut up

havin' a stroke there?

daily reminder to vote for ATCQ, King Crimson and GY!BE

Yes, call 911.

>sufjan better than bjork
>gy!be better than beefheart
not in this universe

Pink Floyd beat The Beach Boys

What happened to Bach v swans

Disqualified because polls got broken. People were rigging both sides, from both sides to get each other disqualified because Sup Forums can't into strategy or sportsmanship.

Both of these are correct opinions.

Lol no

And you know this how?
I still think Bowie fags did it

>Way more votes
>People admitting they proxied
That's how

I voted for Swans 160 times

>having to choses between GY!BE and Pink Floyd

the charts work in mysterious ways.

Vote GY!BE you faggots

I'm making a guess. It's the type of shit that happened in the Best album tourney so I figured it's what happened here.
I do think Bowie fans probably had a hand in it, among other people.

Why would you proxy for someone if they'd get DQ'd?

why?

>proxy for someone you dont want to win
>they get DQ'd
how dumb are you

Not a chance

don't be mean to me

What in the fuck do you think I'm trying to argue here?

wtf i hate democracy now

you asked why someone would cheat if they knew it would get Swans DQd, he illustrated that someone probably did it because they didn't want Swans to win

I wanted them to lose because I like them, but I didn't want them to lose naturally, so I tried to get them disqualified

Literally only Pet Sounds and the original Smile were ever substantial, everything else is super boring 60's surf.

Ok, what I should have said then is why would you proxy for either party if both would get DQ'd.
DQing both parties is a pretty common way to deal with something like this, so whoever is trying to rigging the tournament can predict that that is how the situation can be dealt with.

voted david bowie because he is hot

>Nu-male Collective still hasn't been eliminated
I hate this board.

see it's all speculation though

every fucking time man, every FUCKING TIME. thESE THreadS START OUT OK BUT THEY GET SHITTIER WITH EVERYROUND. FUCK YOU AND YOUR SHITTY DADROCK GODSPEED IS FUCKING LEGENDARY ADN POSESS A LEVEL OF ARTISTRY AND TALENT THAT THOSE PINK FLOYD FAGGOTS WOULDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

FUCK THAT FAGGOT SUFJAN TOO

>you weren't going to vote BoC anyway

>AnCo beating BoC
Sometimes Sup Forums finds ways to be more sperged out than Sup Forums and it never ceases to impress me

I've been loosely following these Sup Forums's greatest threads since they started and nothing so far has been as bad as

>AnCo vs BoC

&

>Pink Floyd vs GYBE

Oh well, sorry Geogaddi

You just sent me to one of my other posts. It's consistent with what I'm trying to say: if everything is speculation, then it's best to find a different way to handle this than disqualification.

Swans being disqualified is a direct result of Jewish plots.
prove me wrong

Maybe I'm a nerd but Kraftwerk is groundbreaking. Sad loss

It won't matter, this board has an unreasonable fetish with Animal Collective that I've never really understood.

They were gonna hit the finals no matter who they were against.

there's absolutely no question that the smiths are better in every comprehensible way

oh. misinterpreted your post

>The Smiths
>Standard rock fare with a solid sound

>Ween
>Multi-genre band that is so dedicated to not taking itself seriously it tries to outright parody itself on occasion

You're not winning me over.

as much as anco fell off in the late 2000s their early output is still easily better than anything BoC ever did

The only thing we know is that both Swans and Bach were proven to proxy. Once we start saying stuff like "Bowiefags did it", we could start arguing that it was actually any artist on the whole tournament trying to get rid of swans, bach, bowie, and so on. There aren't many rules of voting, but proxying and illegal voting is something we can't allow.

I'm 1/4 Jewish, so I can't I guess (also you can't prove a negative)

this

no

>You're not winning me over.
why would i try to you're clearly beyond redemption

Them's fighting words boy.

>Beethoven beats radiohead
>Boards of Canada beats Beethoven
The fuck

Sure is /r/indieheads in here

Yes, we can and should argue that it could have come from anyone.

fight me gayboy
i never met a fan of BoC that wasnt a fat NEET and never met a fan of late anco that wasnt a limpwristed faggot

>easily

It's not that much better, but I agree it is better

t. nu-male

>Kanye, MBV and Radiohead eliminated in the first round

What's going on here?

It's
>dude let's put harsh noise and wierd sounds into folk music
vs
>dude let's take samples from 80's television and put it into instrumental hip hop / ambient techno

Yes, but that argument would never really have a conclusion

Intent is irrelevant when it cums to the quality of tunes themselves, ween is not good, then again smiths are not good too

>beachboys beating NMH
Joke or not this portrays how much weigth this shitty ass cantonese basket weaving forum's opinions have.

I know a guy who's into BoC that is literally in the army

The only person I've met irl who likes AnCo was also obsessed with Grimes and really only listened to entry-level Sup Forumscore. He also was really into /fa/ shit and would never shut up about this fucking place.

riggy diggy has been at work hard since the best albums thing

FUCK THIS IM OUT

gas yourself

>no Autechre
>no Nick Drake
> no Smashing Pumpkins
>no Alice in Chains

You guys fucked up.

#NotMyPolls

Ween had some actual good tunes that stand out by themselves.
youtube.com/watch?v=uv-gT9lNa1g
youtube.com/watch?v=YBDluMsYN4c
youtube.com/watch?v=JmzGMhE_ELs
for instance.

I can't even fucking name a Smiths song

>Kate Bush out in the worst round
im still mad, fucking rigging discord faggots

sounds like you encountered a late anco fan, tell me their name and address so i can go beat them up

The Smiths beating Faust is the biggest joke.

MF doom vs miles davis first round

Rigged to keep the black man down

>unironically thinking Ween is better than The Smiths, let alone good

Scared for the future...

that first round was a shambles

neo-Sup Forums has shit taste

>liking le faggy vegan all songs sound the same band

>Unironically thinking the Smiths are better or more noteworthy than Faust
>Thinking The Smiths are even relevant in this day and age
Not even a big Ween fan, but at least Ween has a fun gimmick that makes them at least unique, what do the Smiths have that generic rock band #10789 don't?

90% of Stereolab's votes were me btw.

I should have kept going...

David Bowie vs Stereolab was an actual dilemma for me, two of my favorite artists right there.

God damnit, someone tell me what won the best song tournament and also call me a faggot.

Once in a Lifetime
faggot

>no Gary Wilson
>no Madlib/Quasimoto
>no Daniel Johnston
>no Gil Scot-Heron
>no Steely Dan
>no Cocteau Twins
>no Cymande
>no Bruce Cockburn
>no Herbie Hancock
>no Leonard Cohen
shit board

THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL HOUSE
faggot

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime, friendo

just realized Herbie is on there but the fact that Aphex beat him makes me very sad

>Scott walker knocked out in first round
>by Dr fucking Dre

Fucking hell Sup Forums

Scott should honestly be in the top 4

>talk talk winning over kanye west
>neutral milk hotel winning over sonic youth
>sufjan stevens winning over bjork and fugazi and black sabbath
>anco winning over kendrick lamar
>captain beefheart winning over beastie boys
>van dyke parks and eminem being that close
>death grips and jimi hendrix being that close
>joanna newsom over the doors
>twenty one pilots over beethoven and outkast and joanna newsom
holy shit, Sup Forums really is full of nu-males

>Madlib/Quasimoto
Generic jazz-hop that only rode to fame off MF Doom
>Steely Dan
This board is too young to truly like Steely Dan, but even then it would probably loose to some shit like AnCo
>Cocteau Twins
Boring sleep music
>Herbie and Cohen
They were on there, but they were eliminated early on.

>non meme with talent vs meme with no talent
what did you expect
meme artists should have been paired up with other meme artists

Go back to >>>/hhh/ faggot

I don't even like The Smiths, but Ween are a comedy band. They have an album called "Chocolate and Cheese"

>also

"Flies on my Dick" "Touch my Tooter" "Don't Shit Where You Eat" etc.

>and we can't forget

youtube.com/watch?v=_F39uC9IlI0

Where the fuck is your argument?

I never said anything about Faust. Although, Why Don't you eat Carrots? is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Relatively speaking

90% of Sup Forums hasn't listened to Scott 4 never mind Tilt

upvoted

Everything about this post makes me angry.

Either you're the biggest pleb I've seen today or this is the strongest bait I've seen in a while.

that doesn't make their music any less valid. being able to bridge various genres and musical styles while maintaining a comedic edge and the overall quality of the music should be something to be praised

>Lyrical content matters
I've listened to Meat is Murder a couple times and struggle to remember it to form this argument.

Where the fuck is your counterargument? Is it just saying "hehe they write about dicks and poop, so they're bad automatically"?

Also fuck you for dissing Faust, I can respect not liking Ween, but Faust is way more influential and memorable than anything The Smiths put out.

>comedy
>in music
>should be praised

this is simply not the case

>what do the Smiths have that generic rock band #10789 don't?
talent
bands don't have to be experimental to be good, the smiths consistently released well composed music with every musician in the band working off each other perfectly.
ween are only good for a laugh with your m8s every once in a while when yall high af or when you watch the spongebob movie

I'm not saying that all funny music is great music. In Ween's case, it helps reinforce their tone and establish their identity throughout many different and sometimes jarring compositions; it's part of what makes Ween Ween.
