2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 10 (Current)

Post by Holden »

Hello! Welcome to Round 10 of the 2021 AMF Tournament of Champions! Here are the rules for this game overall, as a refresher:

Each of the 27 competitors submitted one album and ten songs. The ten songs each compete in one of ten rounds, each with a different type of competition. Meanwhile, the albums will be rated (out of ten) as time goes on. After each round, each competitor will receive points based on their performance in the round. At the end of all ten rounds, the points will be totaled from each round and the rating of the album, and a winner will be declared!

This week's rules:

This one isn't working for me either (nor is the Spotify link). It seems that someone wants to make sure that Dutch people will never hear the song. They haven't yet succeeded, as this one works for me:

A tall order, this one. Here we go:

1. Elisa & Ennio Morricone | Ancora Qui
2. Dan Bern | Estelle
3. Cocteau Twins | Ivo
4. Mattiel | Count Your Blessings
5. Bang Bang Machine | Geek Love
6. Dungen | Fredag
7. Lana Del Rey | Shades of Cool
8. Colder | Shiny Star
9. Dead Can Dance | The Host of Seraphim
10. Rilo Kiley | The Absence of God
11. M83 | Wait
12. Sabrina Claudio | Tell Me
13. Houndamouth | Sedona
14. Blur | On Your Own
15. Arctic Monkeys | Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair
16. Pulp | The Birds In Your Garden
17. The Notwist | The Incredible Change of Our Alien
18. Goo Goo Dolls | Slide
19. Unwound | Below the Salt
20. Lamb | Gabriel
21. Melanie Martinez | Play Date
22. Mattafix | Big City Life
23. KT Tunstall | Human Being
24. Arcade Fire | Electric Blue
25. Konstantin Wecker | Der Spielmann
26. Coconut Records | It's Not You It's Me
27. CHVRCHES | We Sink

Happy to see someone else recognized Estelle as a great song. It was not my nomination, but it has a solid spot in my top 1000 of all time. I guess it comes from the person who nominated the Dan Bern album years ago in Moderately Acclaimed, where I discovered it?

A tough round to sort, but also a very rewarding one, as this is a great round. On Your Own was my clear winner due to my heavy nostalgia for Blur (the album, and the band too I guess)

I'm not going to have time to listen to all of these but just wanted to say We Sink deserves better! One of my favorite Chvrches songs. Surprised to see it dead last on multiple lists. I would have likely ranked it No. 2 behind Shades of Cool.
