*kicks starts random.org to draw list of 16 numbers in columns of 2*

12 4

1 11

2 14

16 7

8 10

15 3

9 13

5 6

 

Interesting...

  • Author

The provisional round 2 draw:

1 Radiohead-Ok Computer vs. Coldplay- Parachutes

2 The Beatles- Revolver vs. Radiohead- Kid A

3 radiohead - in rainbows vs. jeff buckley- grace

4 Muse- Origin of Symmetry vs. Oasis - Definitely Maybe

5 Justin Timberlake - Futuresex/Lovesounds vs. fleet foxes- fleet foxes

6 Keane - Hopes and Fears vs. Sigur Ros - Takk...

7 The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club vs. Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

8 Coldplay - A rush of blood to the head vs. U2 - Joshua Tree

 

Again if someone has any problems with the round 1 results, and if on recount it brings the tie the other way around than the true winner will be put in place of the false winner.

Really glad Fleet Foxes got by. I'm guessing it will slaughter Justin Timberlake. If not I'll doubt the intelligence of this forum :P

This coming from an uninformed voter that could've single-handed saved Sigur Ros's best album.. :rolleyes:

 

 

:P

 

JK, probably wouldn't matter and I'm clearly very prejudiced. This next draw will be a doozie!!! I already know which ones I'll choose but there are still a fistful of FU's

All these ones are really really easy choices for me.

lol, just realized no one voted for metallica first round. :lol:

 

:stunned:

 

*looks*

 

AAAHAHAHAHAHA. :laugh3:

 

That makes my day.
