Hi whuntva,
FYI - the Young Gods link doesn't work for me. I found another one on Dailymotion
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xc5i9r ... eyes_music
or for YT, two links :
Also, is the Fleetwood Mac version supposed to be live ?

Really quick so I can only do Saturn group Right now.
Squalloscope-Big Houses (SWE)
Hozier-Arsonist's Lullabye (IRL)
Young Gods-Summer Eyes (SUI)
Fleetwood Mac-I've Got a Mind to Give Up Living/All Over Again (USA/UK)
Young Gods were an interesting discovery and would have won most of the groups unveiled to date.

And all the rest...
URANUS
Ananda Shankar-Streets of Calcutta (IND)
Sondre Lerche-Sentimentalist (NWY)
Aphex Twin-flim (UK)
Neil Cicierega - Crocodile Chop (USA)
Sondre seeks to become the third Norwegian act this tourney to advance. He's in a good spot to do so thus far.
NEPTUNE
Angelique Kidjo-Olofoofo (BEN)
Tears for Fears feat. Oleta Adams - Woman in Chains (USA/UK)
Pure Reason Revolution - The Bright Ambassadors of Morning (UK)
Jeff Hanson-You and I Alone (USA)
Two pretty interesting tracks and two not so much.
PLUTO
Nujabes-Feather (JPN)
Sonya Kitchell-Tinted Glass (USA)
Nightwish-Amaranth (FIN)
Jewel-Morning Song (USA)
Nujabes on a whole new level compared to the rest of them. The other three weren't bad, but there could be only one.

Someone has a lot more courage than I do. My love for Nightwish is no secret, but since I know they're reviled by most, I'd never dare nominate them for anything. (Spoiler alert: Since I'm insecure about most of my personal favorites, this was another game where I didn't nominate anything.) I really enjoy "Amaranth," but it's only about my 8th favorite song off "Dark Passion Play." The fact that "DPP" may very well be my #1 album is a large reason why I've also never dared vote in the all-time albums poll.

Summer Eyes' first ten minutes were pretty engaging, but after that it started getting a bit monotonous. Arsonist’s Lullabye is the track I'd probably be most likely to put on myself, a pleasant, not-too-despaired, radio-friendly track.
URANUS GROUP
Ananda Shankar - Streets of Calcutta
Aphex Twin - flim
Neil Cicierega - Crocodile Chop
Sondre Lerche - Sentimentalist
Streets of Calcutta is awesome, even edging out Flim, which is not among my personal top-tier favourites of AFX. Crocodile Chop is a fun mash-up, but probably nothing I'd listen to more than two or three times.
NEPTUNE GROUP
Jeff Hanson - You and I alone
Angélique Kidjo - Olofoofo
Tears for Fears feat. Oleta Adams - Woman in Chains

I was about to say that this is a rather bland bracket, but then I got caught totally off-guard by Jeff Hanson's voice. Damn.
PLUTO GROUP
Nujabes-Feather
Jewel - Morning Song
Nightwish - Amaranth
Sonya Kitchell - Tinted Glass
Nice bracket with a very accessible, relaxed rap jam by Nujabes (with verses by Cise Starr & Akin of the rap group Cyne), beautiful folk-pop by Jewel and a great, albeit (unsurprisingly) pompous chorus by Nightwish.

Re: Unacclaimed IV Group Stage, Week 3
Please do vote in the albums poll and other polls if you feel you're interested - all of us have songs/albums/artists we like that aren't so well celebrated here, but this has to be the safest forum to share such things. I'd be very interested to hear what you would have nominated for this game!jamieW wrote: Someone has a lot more courage than I do. My love for Nightwish is no secret, but since I know they're reviled by most, I'd never dare nominate them for anything. (Spoiler alert: Since I'm insecure about most of my personal favorites, this was another game where I didn't nominate anything.) I really enjoy "Amaranth," but it's only about my 8th favorite song off "Dark Passion Play." The fact that "DPP" may very well be my #1 album is a large reason why I've also never dared vote in the all-time albums poll.
Re: Unacclaimed IV Group Stage, Week 3
Thanks, Moonbeam. I did think long and hard about submitting a list of nominations this time, since I do have quite a few favorites that forum members may enjoy. One of my only nominations ever was "Every Little Thing" by Royksopp & Robyn for the weekly AMF chart, and it made our Hall of Fame, so it's not like I'm basing my fears on some long history of rejection. Anyway, you've talked me into it - I promise to participate next time!

Re: Unacclaimed IV Group Stage, Week 3
And so ends Week 3. This week was pretty entertaining with a lot of comebacks and close results. Once again if you think I goofed up, please tell me so.
SATURN
Fleetwood Mac - I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living/ All Over Again (44, 4)
Hozier-Arsonist’s Lullabye (39, 3)
---
The Young Gods - Summer Eyes (34, 4)
Squalloscope-Big Houses (33, 3)
Young Gods held a strong lead early before falling behind fast. Fleetwood Mac came from a fairly distant third to take the group at the last minute. Squalloscope did well and was at one point in a position to advance, but fell short over the weekend.
The low number of #1 votes between the four shows how divisive this group was and how much vote-splitting there was.
Hozier will play Mari Boine and Fleetwood Mac draw Lula and Ze next round.
URANUS
Ananda Shankar - Streets of Calcutta (39, 5)
Aphex Twin - flim (38, 3)
---
Sondre Lerche - Sentimentalist (35, 4)
Neil Cicierega - Crocodile Chop (28, 2)
By far the closest group. Was a three-horse race back and forth. Ananda never held more than a three-point lead.
Ananda Shankar will take on Silversun Pickups and Aphex Twin gets Cymande next round.
NEPTUNE
Angélique Kidjo - Olofoofo (37, 4)
Pure Reason Revolution - The Bright Ambassadors of Morning (36, 4)
---
Tears for Fears feat. Oleta Adams - Woman in Chains (32, 3)
Jeff Hanson - You and I alone (25, 2)
Angelique held onto a lead that was as high as six. Pure Reason was able to come within striking distance late but to no avail.
Angeliqe Plays Astro and PRR gets Prince in the elimination round.
PLUTO
Nujabes-Feather (45, 7)
Nightwish - Amaranth (35, 3)
---
Sonya Kitchell - Tinted Glass (31, 1)
Jewel - Morning Song (29, 3)
Nujabes led early and large as this group was never in doubt. A surprisingly impressive performance by Nightwish overtook Sonya late enough to advance.
Nujabes gets Laura Viers while Nightwish draws Mylene Farmer next round.

Re: Unacclaimed IV Group Stage, Week 3
Dang, I missed my chance to post my rankings for Neptune and Pluto!
Oh well, it wouldn't have made a difference...
