I have to respect Grateful Dead for their ability to play a different show every night with no setlist, but I just don't like their stuff that much.
Fats Domino

Buh. Two bands I actively dislike.
Santana
That one song Evanescence did was pretty cool, I guess.

Re: UMT: 2.28

Queen (I don't no why they are so disliked on this forum...they're my favorite band.)
RUN DMC
Huey (He's in my favorite movie)
Grateful Dead (I've never been into Lennon's solo career. And that album where him and Yoko are naked on the cover makes me queezy.)
Fats

MY FAVORITE ARTIST TODAY
Squeeze

Re: UMT: 2.28

Tricky - This was a very tough call. I think "A Night at the Opera" and "Maxinquaye" are both superb albums - both among my favorites - but Maxinquaye is better. The remainde of their work (that I am familiar with) is not as consistent, but Tricky's work feels and sounds weightier to me. Now, from someone who preaches that fun is an essential part of pop music, I am not dismissing the importance of Queen. But I'm feeling Tricky's work more here.
Squeeze - Another surprise pick from me. I remember how important Run-DMC were. But their important work does not wear well for me. Squeeze gets more milage from their poppy work.
Belle and Sebastian
John Lennon - Instant Karma! and much ofthe Imagine album surpasses the best of the Grateful Dead's studio work, which is incredibly underappreciated in its own right. When you remove the wankery of their live performances, the Dead were very fine songwriters and recording artists.
Vampire Weekend - Not a Domino fan. The first half of VM's debut is excellent.
Bjork - Not a contest, although I liked MaW a lot as a kid.
The Prodigy - Both hit high highs, and low lows. Collins' lows are far worse.
Santana

Favorite this round - A lot of greats to choose from, but Bjork wins.

Favorite not voted for - Grateful Dead beat out Queen.

lol Huey got like one vote

Re: UMT: 2.28

Huey Lewis over B&S is absolutely despair-worthy. That's just brand recognition, and while I could understand that kind of thing in round one, it's getting pretty absurd at this point.

AM rankings?
Belle and Sebastian: 209
Huey Lewis and the News: not ranked (one album and one song bubbling under)

But guess which one is in the UMT final 256?

Look, I don't hate Huey Lewis. He seems like a nice man, and I can enjoy his music every once in a while...well, a long while. But we're talking the band that gave us If You're Feeling Sinister being upset by the band that gave us Sports.

(I also like Men at Work, but seriously, there's no way they should get a THIRD of the vote against Bjork. Kind of thing makes me ashamed to have grown up in the 80s.)
