FINALS: (1) Radiohead - OK Computer vs. (7) Jimmy Eat World - Futures Bracket • Page 5

Not to rag on Pitchfork or bring them up again but their reviews always reminded me of a meme about recipe sites - they almost always start with some War and Peace lengthy write up about something else entirely before getting to the point so I’d end up reading the first paragraph and then just closing out the browser and doing something else or reading a review elsewhere.

 

Mfs really making new accounts to vote smh

 

plainly pathetic lol

edit: i would say this no matter the matchup. like, who gives a shit enough about any of this shit to cheat. get a life lol.

 

I really don’t think anyone is making fake accounts to cheat, lol

 

I remembered what I picked for the first one. Was trying to remember what I picked for or the second one. Thanks for the reminder!

Still love all eight of those records. Yours are the bomb, too. (Also, you snuck all five of your top five into that first round by letting me do Born to Run didn't you?)

 

Absolutely I did. I’m no fool. I actively double-checked that you were including Wake, too, to buy me an extra rec on the second one.

Still kinda bummed I never really managed to drum up any enthusiasm for Casey’s record. I’m biased cause I know (knew now, really) her, but I’ve really always considered it Great.

 

i mixed a record by a band she was in

Red Channel, by Red Channel

 

Haha, I remember struggling to choose Wake or Release. I think I went with Wake because Release was still pretty new at the time and you and I had been hyping it up in the EOTY 2010 threads anyway.

 

+1 Futures to break the current tie (and because it's so classic)

 

I never knew this happened! She and I lost touch over time and I lost track of her career after she left Air Traffic Controller (who I did not care for). Gonna have to listen asap.

 

Good game, good game, good game.

 

So it's over?

 

More or less. Final standings:

1. OK Computer
2. Futures
3. Born to Run
4. Blue Album

 

sorry, bit anticlimactic, busy day haha. thanks to all who participated and glad to see them win

 

Pat is officially retired.

 

insane one of their best was a cut from this era

 

I was just spinning OK Computer earlier today. Jimmy is my all time favorite band (alongside Death Cab) but OK Computer is sheer brilliance!

On a lighter note...

This is still one of my favourite clips ever and very awkward:

 

Pat can sleep tonight

 

What are you going to do with all your time now?? All time greatest SONG???????

please don't

 

i will simply not be posting

 

Finally, sweet relief

 

Lol
