Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 4.1

Forgot to vote,but it wouldn't have made a difference anyway to any of the matches. The only loser I would have voted for was Steely Dan...

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 4.1

Yo La Tengo is a dark horse to win the tournament at this point. Nothing has really come close so far, and it should be able to beat the Morricone/Fleetwood Mac winner.

The Heartbreakers album making it this far is a huge surprise (especially since Faust should have knocked them out in round 1--and almost did).

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 4.1

I'd say Serge Gainsbourg is the dark horse. He narrowly got through The Blue Nile in the first round, but since then he's won 7-1, 7-2, ad 9-4.

If Yo La Tengo meets Serge in the semifinals it will be a brutal match.
