2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 6, Part 3

Post by Holden »

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. This is the final part of Round 6, so these are the winners of each of the previous rounds! Here are your songs, in their groups.

Group 1
Roland Dyens | La Foule
The Kills | Future Starts Slow
The Thrills | One Horse Town

Group 2
Bonnie "Prince" Billie | The Glow, Pt. 3
God Help the Girl | God Help the Girl
The Revolutionaries | Kunta Kinte (Dub)

Group 3
Beach House | On The Sea
The Orielles | Sugar Taste Like Salt
Tom Waits | Underground

Playlist


I had a request to add this version of "Midnight in Harlem" to the poll. There is a live version in the spotify playlist as well!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wVWjl9Kq6U

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:

Modest Mouse | Building Nothing Out of Something ()



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 17th)! 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]

Definitely worth checking the YT version of the Tedeschi Trucks track, it convinced me to bump it up from 6th to 4th, soulful performance that it is:

Group 1
1 | The Velvet Underground | Ocean
3 | The Revolutionaries | Kunta Kinte (Dub)

5 | Tego Calderón | Pa que retozen

Group 2
2 | The Kills | Future Starts Slow
8 | Pink Floyd | Dogs

9 | Robyn | Indestructible

Group 3
4 | Tedeschi Trucks Band | Midnight in Harlem
6 | The Thrills | One Horse Town

7 | The Cribs | We Share the Same Skies

EDIT: Lindsey Buckingham - Out of the Cradle 4.4

Group 1
Tego Calderón | Pa que retozen
The Revolutionaries | Kunta Kinte (Dub)

Though these three are all great.

Group 2
Pink Floyd | Dogs
The Kills | Future Starts Slow

This one is dominated by The Kills for me. I'm not big on Robyn or Pink Floyd's Animals. Both are decent, but not essential for me.

Group 3
Tedeschi Trucks Band | Midnight in Harlem
The Thrills | One Horse Town

Midnight in Harlem is a great discovery! Song of the week for me.

Lindsey Buckingham | Out of the Cradle: 4
Starts with a great song and I guess it has some inspired guitar parts here and there, but mostly it is the worst combination of soft rock and adult contemporary, with an added dash of faux-African music and more gloss that a fashion magazine. Not for me.
