Hard choice between Cat Power and DBT's. I'm going to hold off and see which of the two has the best chance to advance.

Neon, but I could live with several of these, especially DBT.

It figures that the two I actually like are tied for last place.

At this point, everyone, vote Libertines. I think CP's done. (Twatters!) & we must keep Arcade Fire out of this.

Well if Sea Change can win that other poll, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Neon Bible is winning this one.

Christ, people.

Neon Bible is way better than Sea Change. But these groupings are such weird comparisons anyway it's probably not necessary to make weird comparisons across the groupings.

MGMT
