Best American Artist Tournament: Round 1, Day 6

Post by Listyguy »

As we near the end of round one in the tournament, I’m also running out of creative things to say each day. So I’ll just stick an American Flag here instead:
Image

For each of the four match ups listed below, pick the artist you prefer. This poll will close at 12 forum time tomorrow (8 pm EDT).

Here are today’s matches:

10. Stevie Wonder (Michigan)
55. Glenn Miller (Iowa)

23. Lou Reed (New York)
42. MGMT (Connecticut)

26. Otis Redding (Georgia)
39. Bon Iver (Wisconsin)

7. The Beach Boys (California)
58. Throwing Muses (Rhode Island)

10. Stevie Wonder (Michigan)

23. Lou Reed (New York)
42. MGMT (Connecticut)

26. Otis Redding (Georgia)
39. Bon Iver (Wisconsin)

7. The Beach Boys (California)
58. Throwing Muses (Rhode Island)

3 things:

1.) I really hope MGMT knocks off Lou, though I doubt that will happen.
2.) Being from Wisconsin I should feel obligated to vote for BonerVer, but against Otis I cannot do it.
3.) Love the inclusion of Throwing Muses, though they have no chance I felt they needed a vote.

Stevie Wonder (though I could swing the other way on this one)
Lou Reed
Otis Redding
Throwing Muses (R.I. represent, let's hear it for Kirsten and Tanya! - The Beach Boys at their peak were great, but they should have packed it in about 1972)

This was a very tough decision, but if we're going on just Reed's solo career, I give MGMT a very, very slight edge.

26. Otis Redding (Georgia)
39. Bon Iver (Wisconsin)

7. The Beach Boys (California)
58. Throwing Muses (Rhode Island)
I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
You thought that you could forget
And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror
On a long drive from the back seat...

Stevie has some nice songs, but sometimes he sounds a little too restrained for me. I'm going old-school here.

23. Lou Reed (New York)
42. MGMT (Connecticut)
That one album was good, but MGMT can't stack up with Lou's solo career.

26. Otis Redding (Georgia)
39. Bon Iver (Wisconsin)
Easy.

7. The Beach Boys (California)
58. Throwing Muses (Rhode Island)
Throwing Muses have their moments, but come now.
