Have I mentioned that these match-ups suck?


Girls Can Tell and At Dawn are probably the two best albums left in this, and I won't be surprised if both of them lose in this round (to The White Stripes and Arcade Fire respectively).

Voted Spoon, but I do like White Blood Cells.

Stripes.
Not an anti-Spoon vote; I genuinely like Red Blood Cells better than this particular Spoon record.

This is both an anti-Spoon vote and a pro-Stripes vote. My second favorite album by a band I really dig vs. another snorefest by an over-rated utterly boring band that defines indie rock mediocrity to me.

White Blood Cells. I like both, but I'm tired of voting for Spoon. Girls Can Tell isn't bad, just tends to be one of my least favorite of theirs lately.

Seriously! I friggin' love Girls Can Tell. It gets my vote here because I only love WBC.

I'm learning some unsavory things about certain people and their musical tastes in this thing. They're probably thinking the same thing about me.

Another INCREDIBLY tough vote for me. You have no idea how close I came to going WBC here, but ultimately I couldn't pull the trigger.

One of, if not the best Spoon albums vs. an album and artist one good song...
