Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 3.2

For newcomers:

Best Moderately Acclaimed Album is a tournament of albums nominated by board members from anything ranked below 500 on AM. Anybody can vote, but you have to have heard both albums in the match.

Another All-Moonbeam match.

Division 2:

Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) vs

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 3.2

Another all-Moonbeam matchup means I get an album into the 4th round! Woo hoo!

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) it is. I've just edited my review for it as well.

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 3.2

Last week I didn't have any real favorites so I ended up not voting at all. This week I have four clear winners.

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.
Roxy Music - Country Life
Julee Cruise - Floating Into The Night

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 3.2

Division 3:

Pere Ubu - Dub Housing

Division 4:

A personal fav against an album I did not like at all, easiest pick in a while.

I like both albums in division 2, need to give both one more spin before voting.

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 3.2

Division 1:
WINNER Tubeway Army - Replicas vs
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Hard hard hard....pffff....Tubeway Army by a little.

Division 2:
Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) vs
WINNER - Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.
Harder than the first division. I choose Gainsbourg because it's mine and I love all the songs of the album but The Eno's one is fabulous. Two of my favorites of this game.

Division 3:
WINNER - Pere Ubu - Dub Housing vs
Roxy Music - Country Life
Two average alums for me, but two I love.

Division 4:
Julee Cruise - Floating Into The Night vs
WINNNER Sparlkehorse - Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot
Very easy this time.

Taking Tiger Mountain

Eno needs to pull through this week against a tough opponent for me to have any shot at the hipster cup.

The Hipster Cup is based on points from the 'Best discovered album' poll the week after the tournament is done. The idea is, it goes to the person responsible for the most good discoveries.
