330. Four Tet – Smile around the face
6 - I watched it with the music video first and I don't think I can separate them now. They seem very tied together. I quite like it, might be a grower.

So onboard the 70's poll I've already started looking into 1970 - speaking as someone new to this game, I'm keen to keep going in order since there'll already be so much decade discussion next year.

Agreed, would fit right into a movie soundtrack. Very atmospheric. I do like it, and I appreciate it.

Other genres may come and go but Ska remains eternal, apparently

Don't worry, you're not the worst alone! 0/5 here too lol.

Flying Lotus and Wilco continue to have two of the most interesting songs in the tournament. Not looking good for Chairlift, a shame since they've been a great find for me.

308. World Party – Put the Message in the Box 6 - Chorus is catchy 309. Boris Vian – La Complainte du Progrès 7 - A chanson I like, a rare event. Mostly for the lyrics - the send-up/critique of 50's materialism is very fun. 310. The Mills Brothers – Paper Doll 6 - I could ignore how funny I find the...

Both great albums. Impressive that our final two were from two adjacent years in the 2010s after so much variation in the early rounds. My vote has to go to:

ART ANGELS

Thought of some more. I feel like jingles went out of fashion here in the 2000's, we didn't get many. Lots of skits. But there's a couple of iconic ones still:

Zinger Burger:

Novus Glass (Show Us Your Crack):

Rob's not going to like your comparison of his choice with Damon Albarn :D I've been accused of making tenuous links between artists before, but I stick by this one on a relisten. Verse guitar sounds like Plastic Beach, chorus vocals remind me of a few songs on blur. And it's also really good, anot...

1. Art Angels > 4. 13 A tough matchup. 13 has the power of Tender and Coffee + TV behind it, which are two of my favourite songs, but I'm not so keen on a lot of the rest of the album.
