2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 6, Part 1
2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 6, Part 1
Hello! Welcome to Round 6 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:
Each part of Round 6 will give you nine songs, divided into three random groups. YOu will select your two favorite songs from each group (eliminating one), and post your choices in the thread. The best song from each group will move on to the second round of Round 6. Here are your songs, in their groups.
Group 1
Air Supply | All Out of Love
My Glorious | Minefield
Tom Waits | Underground
Group 2
Bonnie "Prince" Billie | The Glow, Pt. 3
Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho | Nas paredes da pedra encantada, os segredos talhados por Sumé
Weezer | Holiday
Group 3
4hero | Sounds from the Black Hole
Beach House | On The Sea
Bill Evans | B Minor Waltz (For Ellaine)
Playlist
Please rate albums from this list out of ten. You can do this in any order, but please post in the most recent thread!
However I will be 'featuring' one album a week to make them more digestible. This week's album is:
Dolly Parton | Jolene (1974)
Alright, in conclusion:
Chose your two favorite songs from each of the above groups!This will be due one week from the time of this post! (June 4th)! Have fun!
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![/b]

Oh and also...
Dolly Parton | Jolene - 9
Remove Jolene and IWALY and this would still be a really solid album. Clearly underrated.

Re: 2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 6, Part 1 (Current)
Generally a good group of songs this week.
Group 1
Air Supply | All Out of Love
Tom Waits | Underground
Air Supply and Tom Waits, united at last!
I'm as tired of Air Supply as some others here, but All Out of Love is just the one that works for me.
Group 2
Bonnie "Prince" Billie | The Glow, Pt. 3
Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho | Nas paredes da pedra encantada, os segredos talhados por Sumé
Group 3
Beach House | On The Sea
Bill Evans | B Minor Waltz (For Ellaine)
Dolly Parton - Jolene: 9
A few years ago I got this album into Moderately Acclaimed, where it did reasonably well if I remember correctly. I also ranked it among my All Time favorite albums last year. I keep being surprised this isn't even bubbling on AM, as I don't think it is just Dolly Parton's peak, but also contains her two most iconic songs. And yes, the album would even hold up without these two. I know you could level some critique at how most of the lyrics are about Dolly Parton being subservient to men, but with this much feeling I hardly care.

I don't see why Air Supply has to automatically be worse than Weezer who are just as annoying...

Country usually isn’t my thing, but there’s no denying the mastery of the craft with this album:

What song was supposed to be here instead of On The Sea?

Interesting that this week had no clear "losers". Tom Waits did great of course, but the votes were more spread out than is usual.
