[Spike]

Master of Puppets in the 16th round?
Solid.

 

[VF21]

There are 24 hours left for people to vote in this round. The polls close Monday, Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. (PDT).

 

[VF21]

Congratulations to Lowenherz, who will be moving on to Round 2.

 

[Turgenev]

Oh well. Six votes isn't too bad. And I lost to the person who had Illmatic so can't complain.

 

[Löwenherz]

Thanks Turgenev. You introduced me to a lot of interesting selections, namely Latyrx and the Gil Scott Heron album. I also loved the Glenn Gould pick. If you haven't already, as Cap suggested, check out "32 Short Films ... "

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Picking Pieces of a Man took a special kind of moxie: as I mentioned in the draft thread, it's probably the only album in Scott-Heron's entire discography that could, even remotely, be classified as a music album.
