2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 2, Part 4
2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 2, Part 4
Hello! Welcome to Round 1 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:
The second round is going to make use of the poll creation feature. You will pick your favorite three of the nine songs in each round. This is the final round of this portion of the tournament, containing the best songs the previous parts of the round! Points will be distributed based on poll performance. Here are your songs:
Ben Folds Five | Regrets
Donna Lewis | I Love You Always Forever
Grinderman | Palaces of Montezuma
Les Rita Mitsouko | Singing in the Shower
Nina Simone | Four Women
Portishead | Only You
Creedence Clearwater Revival | Ramble Tamble
Lorde | Yellow Flicker Beat
The Clash | The Card Cheat
Playlist
However, to make the albums more digestible, I will be 'featuring' one album a week for those who wish to follow along this way. This week's album is:
The Exciters | Tell Him (1963)
Alright, in conclusion:
Three favorite songs from the nine above, and vote using the poll feature! You have exactly seven days (March 13th) from the time of this post!
Additionally, rate albums from the list out of ten. You can do this at whatever pace you like, but post your ratings in the most recent thread! And you can always rate previously featured albums as well!

Perhaps a little late, but the version of Tell Him posted above is not the one with the original order (there are a lot of versions of it on Spotify though). I don't know how much it matters as the songs are still the same and this is hardly a concept album, but here is the original version:

Sorry, I can't share it as an embedded playlist, because I don't know how that works if it is not a personal playlist.
Exciters - Tell Him: 7
Pretty standard girl group stuff that is really elevated by Brenda Reid's stunning vocals. A little front-loaded perhaps.
