Re: Best American Artist Tournament: Round 2, Day 2

Prince - I wanted to vote for Coltrane, but Prince is just too good
Sly and the Family Stone - It hurts to vote for a Cali band over a NY one, but Sly is one of my favorites
Beastie Boys - Coltrane would have had this one

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 5 - Round 2.3

Every week I say I'm going to listen to all of the albums, but then I never do :x
In the meantime:

1. Reckoning
My nomination is an easy pick, with brilliant tracks like "Time After Time" and "So Central Rain". The Pogues album is great though.
