1. Sigur Rós - ( )
This first match is by far the more difficult for me. Two excellent album who deserve to win this game I think. I choose Sigur Rós, but it's heartbreaking.

Only this game can make me listen to a Christmas album in July. It manages to still come on top too, even though personal favorite When the Pawn is part of the line-up too.
I'm sorry to vote against Madness. All the other picks were obvious to me.
