I would prefer BMAA earlier rather than later. Even if an album seems like a hot favourite to win (like Ultraviolence which ranked 110 in Mega-Critic), there are still plenty of other interesting albums to hear in the game.

Nominating

PJ Harvey - Guilty (would have been the best track on the album)
Flaming Lips - The Castle

Henry:

46. Compay Segundo / Yo Vengo Aqui / 1959

I have this song dated 1996 - but he would have been 89 then, so I suspect it would have been recorded earlier. I would have placed it quite high on my list for the 50's if 1959 is correct.

The Bill Fay youtube link is for side 1 of the album - which doesn't include the title track.

These are not the final four I would have picked, neither are they the four I would have predicted. This knock-out format certainly does make things interesting.
