Banned
1. AlternativeUlster (Sonic Youth, the Boss, Dr Octagon, and introduced me to Neutral Milk Hotel, which is pretty cool... none of Karma's really interests me)
2. hXC_thugg (Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash + Joy Division beats the Strokes, Velvet Underground, and Eno)
3. Eric WK (lot of good stuff on both sides, but while Soundgarden rules, I can't stand Rush)
4. Karakand (The Clash, the Beatles, and some other good stuff, also Radiohead = meh)
5. Vatstep (Coltrane, Massive Attack, Queen, the Boss again... but mainly because Mason kicked my ass last round, so I hate him)
6. Flynn (some cool stuff, also Radiohead = meh)
7. tekumseh (Fountains of Wayne? Well, whatever, you got Smile, the Who, and the Stones)

good credit (by proxy)
#1: Alternative Ulster -- dr. octagon puts you over the edge
#2: HxC Thugg -- joy division and hunky dory clinched it, although other dude had a higher number of albums that i liked
#3: Eric WK -- let's hang out
#4: I Push Fat Kids -- I don't know what that dude was thinking. The Clash London Calling is a shit album listened to by shitheads. I'm kidding. Except I'm not.
#5: Mason -- i like listening to I'm a woman you're a machine when I haven't showered and my crotch smells like pepperoni
#6: Muttyeah -- pavement, sigur ros, ok computer. nice. BUT FUCK, OTHER DUDE HAS STOOGES RAW POWER.
#7: Tekumseh -- Queen, Wilco, Brian Wilson, The Who. Solid picks.

1 - AlternativeUlster -- Neutral Milk Hotel+Springsteen= insta-win
2 - hXC_thugg -- tough one, but Boxer pulled thugg ahead
3 - Eric WK -- The Smiths, Television, good stuff
4 - I Push Fat Kids -- another tough one. had karakand picked Pneumonia by Whiskeytown instead he would have gotten my vote
5 - Vatstep -- to be honest, not two of my favorite lists, but Born to Run is a classic
6 - muttyeah416 -- you could have had 9 Backstreet Boys albums and I would still have voted on you for picking Elliott Smith. But The Knife, Radiohead, B&S etc.? Maybe the best list imo
7 - tekumseh -- Jayhawks/Fountains of Wayne/Wilco: niiice
