Does it not have an edited by x at 00:00 pm or whatever?
In general the posts have an edited by right.
I don't get the issue. Am I not allowed change my mind over the course of the day on the picks?

That is if pro-b makes a second post with the remainder of the votes.

As for the "duplicative" jazz, Kind of Blue and A Love Supreme are so different, and both are amazing, Kind of Blue is probably the best piece of music on anyone's list here, IMHO. And how come these guys are not "pioneer black musicians"?

Just the luck of the draw. I do feel you have a strong draft collection though.

2. maxfisher (If only for the fact that it made me dust off my UNKLE CD)
3. cdollaz (Easy choice here, since London Calling is my favorite album)
4. BadlyDrawnBoy (Sophie's Choice time: VU & Nico vs. Purple Rain. U2 and the last great Chili Peppers album swayed me.)
5. illennium (He bangs the drums.*)
6. jimdrix (A toughie. Mad respect for Yaz and the Muppets, but Revolver and PE clinched it.)
7. DJLinus (True, Wu Tang's for the children, but James is for avid internet message board music geeks
)
8. Mordred (What would Chuck D think about having PE and Elvis on the same list? Doesn't matter to me.)
*Apologies if you're a female.

auto, my choices are the bolded in the "vs." line.
This Round’s Match-ups
1. Aphex Twin vs. ryuryu2949
rationale: just to many personal faves on ryuryuryuryu's list.
2. ChrisKnudsen vs. maxfisher
rationale: very difficult decision here... i'm already kinda scared at how difficult the next round will be. anyway, vote goes to ChrisKnudsen due to the greater variety of his list in comparison to maxfisher's indie-heavy list.
3. cdollaz vs. Flynn
rationale: as i said in the first round, i'd hesitate to put all three of Radiohead, Coldplay and Travis on the same list and that cost Flynn the race. another factor was in a head-to-head match-up of the U2 albums and the Radiohead albums, cdollaz won both times, IMO. i do love Before These Crowded Streets, but not nearly enough to garner my vote.
4. Lokimok vs. BadlyDrawnBoy
rationale: a very difficult decision, but BDB snagged the Peppers' BSSM which was one of my first real introductions to rock'n'roll. throw in Ten, Purple Rain and Joshua Tree and i couldn't deny it. i love Loki's variety with a special nod to the funk and blues picks.
5. Vryce vs. illennium
rationale: it couldn't swing me last time, but this time it did: Radiohead's "Kid A" gives the vote to illennium. (not to mention "Doolittle" and "Autobahn")
6. Giles vs. jimdrix
rationale: holy shit, this one was difficult. great variety in both lists but i went with jimdrix because i'm more familiar with his choices than i am Giles' picks.
7. DJLinus vs. cleaver
rationale: "Laid" got DJLinus my vote last time. just too much to deny on cleaver's list - in a head-to-head box set match up, i would give my vote to Zep just because i know more of their songs by heart.
8. Mordred vs. Damfino
rationale: Just like the first round, there are simply too many classics on Mordred's list for me not to vote for it. "Blood on the Tracks", in particular, will carry his list a LONG way in my votes. but throw in "Thriller", "Back in Black", "The Sun Sessions"... geezus. the list is nearly flawless IMO. hell, take a look at my sig, which i haven't changed in a LONG time because i love it so much!

1. Winner: Aphex Twin (sorry, I hate DMB with a burning passion. It took balls to put them on a list when bigots like myself are a dime-a-dozen here.)
2. Winner: ChrisKnudsen (this one was reeeeally close. I gave the edge to Chris because I really like Double Nickels. That album was very important to me growing up.)
3. Winner: cdollaz (as I said, I don't like DMB. Also, that Coldplay album never made much of an impression on me. cdollaz also has the immortal Angel Dust which I bought and loved when it came out.)
4. Winner: Lokimok (this one was also really hard. Loki's Roxy Music selection is my personal favorite of one of my favorite band's albums. BDB's "Astral Weeks" and RHCP selections are also great. Parliament and no Pearl Jam takes the day for Lokimok.)
5. Winner: illennium (no easier for me. Don't like Alannis but "Dummy", "Elephant" and "Blue" are favorites. However, Marquee Moon and G.P. cannot be denied.)
6. Winner: Giles (a really weird matchup. i went with Giles because the selections are a little bit more off the wall and personal. The other collection is chock-a-block with Greatest Album Ever contenders, though.)
7. Winner: DJLinus (Disintegration, Different Class and Girlfriend were on repeat in my stereo in college a decade ago.)
8. Winner: Mordred (Damfino's collection is really sweet. Los Angeles? Armed Forces? Two huge favorites. However, Goo is a weak album, IMO. I would have taken Sister or Evol. Also, that Fugees album is about half a classic, the other half isn't too good. Mordred's PE and Opeth selections are great and you can't really deny those other classics.)

again, i can't spell this out enough: "Live at Luther College" is NOT a DMB album. i find it disheartening that people are voting against me on the strentgh of an album they have never heard. i would have thought better from the kind of people who post on this form.

The whole point of the rule was to make it easier for me to count the votes. If someone goes back and edits their votes, I need to start from scratch. If the votes are set in stone, I can tally up the score as the round progresses.
I apologize if it pissed off anybody whose votes did not get counted last round. The rule was written in the first post and I didn't think it was confusing.
If pro-b wants to vote on the rest of the line-ups I will be more than happy to count his votes. That being said, this remark...

Tell me about it. I'm trying to keep this game chugging along so please be patient.
I know some people took offense to the way in which I handled the ChrisKnudsen/Hollowgen tie-breaker. Sorry. I'm doing the best I can and I didn't plan for every situation.
Anyhow, lets get back to the game. There's lots of time left and some close races left to be decided.
Keep voting!

I grew up listening to music like Disintegration and Laid. Are You Experienced and
Moondance came out before I was born(born in 1974). I identify more with The Cure and James. Not saying that Hendrix and Van Morrison aren't good, they certainly are. But I have to go with what I identify woth more.
That is how everyone is voting, at least thats how it looks to me.

ryuryu2949: Like LurkerDan said, the problem with DMB is not necessarily just the B. It's the D and the M as well. Personally, I don't really consider Dave Matthews a serious artist. Besides, anyone who puts lighters in the hands of frat boys can't be good for society.
As for voting on an incomplete record (no pun intended), that's just a fact of life that all contestants have to accept. When we drafted albums, we knew we were taking the risk that voters wouldn't know some of our picks and that that could hurt us. On the other hand, sometimes picking a relatively obscure album can get the vote of the more vocal music geek minority.
