Just for the fun of it, if it had been a list competition, which one would you vote for?

A couple of notes:

- I know if it had been a lists competition most likely selections would have been different

- I'd beg the participants not to vote for themselves

- I have placed this thread here because the Cups section does not admit polls

I thought the standard was high this year.
Favourite left field picks - Open Sky Unit and Artlu Bubbles.

[DarknessFish]

Hard to separate Neige and hippiedrill. Probably go with Neige, as the highs were new to me.

[fange]

I really liked 2 or 3 tracks from all of tge other lists in the finals, so hard to separate them in this kinda context.

[Deleted]

Favourite list, excluding my own, was Skopes.

Can't understand how you don't like thst Sun Ra track, G. I really think the name is putting you off before you listen! It's such a powerful track, with a huge groove that's peppered with some brilliant blowing and gorgeous funky guitar.

I did quite like it, but I tend to find his stuff a bit formless. However it's not like I have a strong dislike so I listened with open ears. I basically really like three of your selections and quite liked two.

Some of you bastards need your voting privileges rescinded

[clive gash]

I think we can put a “cream of the crop” list together from the various lists.

I’ll plump for

The Comet Is Coming - Summon the Fire
Heron - Yellow Roses
Agent Orange - Bloodstains
Oliver Nelson - Patterns
The Shangri-Las - Out in the Streets

[~ / % ? *]

It is hard to say if any of the votes were directly for something or simply in context against something else.

[DarknessFish]

My votes were all against the occupation of Palestine.

Of course..It's a terrible album, with some overbearing  production values..

or kinda more like the '45-'47 blockade

[toomanyhatz]

I voted for all of 'skope's but one, I think, though there's nothing I truly love there, probably. Fange's might be higher quality, but it's also more one-dimensional. Neige's is mixed, though he has a few I like a lot.

For a final, they're all kind of disappointing. Mine would've been so much better, he said modestly.
