>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
/mu/ was a mistake.

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

>>71991454
>Radiohead already out
wew

>>71991802
I know right

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

>>71991802
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

>>71991842
What assraping?

>>71991832
one album that you have heard you mean

>>71991772
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)

>>71991802
Radiohead and Kayne being out means that we hopefully won't have the /r/igging situation of the album tournament

>>71991904
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

>>71992046
can you rec me some of fahey's gamelan inspired songs or albums? i love gamelan and would like to hear it

>>71992142
This is probably the best example (and the Womblife album in general):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjRIYJV0WKY

>>71992069
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. ;_;

>>71992267

agree 100% on the others tho

>>71992935
you're retarded if you think Kanye is more talented than Talk Talk

>>71992982
It's not hard to be better than Radiohead

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

>>71993157
I don't give a shit about the Talk Talk vs Kanye feud, I'm more butthurt over the Beethoven beats Radiohead shit

>>71993187
1. kanye is bad
2. Radiohead is bad
3. MBV is bad
4. I used a proxy to ensure /mu/core dies early on

>>71993187
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

>>71993187
MBV lost because it was against another heavy /mu/core contender, Radiohead lost because a lot of /classical/fags are in this thread, and Kanye lost because Talk Talk is better

>>71992982
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)

>>71991454
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.

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

>Scott Walker lost to Dr Dre

Hahahahaha

>>71993214
Talk Talk and Godspeed are both /mu/core

Reminder to vote for Charles Mingus

>>71993651
That's the point. They're good. JUST good. we don't need to talk about them all the fucking time

>>71994309
please do
I get off every time Swans gets eliminated quickly. I love them so much.

>>71994309
Yup

>>71991671

Both have each made like 50 albums and about 3 good ones, seems a fair comparison.

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

>>71995483
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.

>>71995503
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.

>>71991454
just swingin' by to say that the faces in OP pic, before enlarging look like Donald Trump, Warren Buffet and John Podesta.

>>71995503
Also, I'm interested which one you disagree with. Not gonna argue with you, just Curious.

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

>>71995560
Kraftwerk. I love Pere Ubu still. I saw him live recently and it was fantastic but I still have to give it to Kraftwerk.

>>71995413
You seriously think this is a explanation?
I should stop taking bait posts seriously.
