06.19.18 | I’m pretty well-versed in lots of European rock and sub genres of rock. So you could go with a safe punk/goth record or you could swing for left-field and hopefully knock one put he park. Good luck. |
SCREAM!
06.19.18 | Murmuure - Murmuure
Youll love it or hate it |
Divaman
06.19.18 | The Clash - London Calling
Hopefully a safe bet. |
SCREAM!
06.19.18 | boo |
Sharkattack
06.19.18 | Divaman you can’t choose that album come on now |
Astral Abortis
06.19.18 | The Sods - Under En Sort Sol |
Divaman
06.19.18 | Well what's off limits then? You haven't rated any Clash. |
Sharkattack
06.19.18 | Sorry I’m still new there’s lots of shit I haven’t gotten around to rating yet. My bad. |
Divaman
06.19.18 | Well, give us some guidance then. The example you gave us is The Cure. To me, The Clash isn't any more obvious than The Cure. If you want, I'll go with Echo & The Bunnymen - Porcupine. |
Sharkattack
06.19.18 | Dude I just checked and I totally have rated London Calling. But alright I’ve heard some echo and the bunny men but not that record. |
Astral Abortis
06.19.18 | Idk its a rec comp so reccing something that literally everybody on planet earth has heard is a bit silly |
SCREAM!
06.19.18 | You've got 2000+ albums rated, don't get so hung up on The Clash
Don't be a diva, man |
SCREAM!
06.19.18 | what astral said |
Divaman
06.19.18 | Apologies, Shark. I checked your ratings list, but probably checked under "C" for "Clash", not "T" for "The Clash". The way this site alphabetizes always throws me. |
Divaman
06.19.18 | Guys, I just recommended some Colombian band that even I never heard of, and everything I have listed as under consideration for every remaining continent is pretty obscure. Get off my butt. Already said I'd go for the Echo album. |
Sharkattack
06.19.18 | Another hint... if I never heard London Calling for some reason and this tournament was my Clash cherry getting popped... you’d probably get eliminated |
Divaman
06.19.18 | Honestly, expected to get eliminated last round. Rec'd the album based on the Blondie connection, but wasn't that crazy about it when I listened to the whole thing through. Was away this past weekend, though, so I didn't have time to change it. |
Sharkattack
06.19.18 | You survived because that album is a literal party |
Divaman
06.19.18 | I liked the album art. |

06.19.18 | Thank you for covering all the bases sandwichbubble |
SandwichBubble
06.19.18 | You're lucky, I spared you the extensive band history and trivia ;) |
Sharkattack
06.19.18 | I like to go into these somewhat blind. Spare me until results have commenced. |
Papa Universe
06.20.18 | hold up a tad |
Papa Universe
06.20.18 | this thing I recommend to literally everyone, for it transcends human preferences:
UK's very own And Also the Trees - (Listen for) the Rag and Bone Man |
Papa Universe
06.20.18 | but it requires some patience |
dbizzles
06.20.18 | Fields of the Nephilim - Elizium (UK) |
dbizzles

butcherboy
06.21.18 | The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour.. sorry, it's England, but I have to rec The Fall whenever the chance comes along.. |
Sharkattack
06.21.18 | Updated. I’ll go shoutbox huskerdune |
SCREAM!
06.21.18 | so am I the only one who said fuck it and didn't go with post punk lmao |
Sharkattack
06.21.18 | It would appear so. Should I just eliminate you now or do you want a blurb first haha |
SCREAM!
06.21.18 | watch it be your favourite album haha |
Sharkattack
06.21.18 | Aiwaz we are already on round 3 |
SCREAM!

Sharkattack
06.23.18 | Sandwich you get a .1 for helpfulness |
SandwichBubble
06.23.18 | And then a -.1 for reccing post-punk so it all evens out. Don't worry, I understand completely |
Papa Universe
06.23.18 | How is rec'ing post-punk an offence? |
SandwichBubble
06.23.18 | 6 out of 8 of these are post-punk pops, we all deserve a cut for being unoriginal |
osmark86
06.23.18 | +1 for techno rec |
Astral Abortis
06.23.18 | Most recs are post punk because his hint was that he liked post punk |
SandwichBubble
06.23.18 | Says something when most of us would rather play it safe then surprise. I'll practice what I preach, if I make it to the next round, my pick is gonna be way way out there just for fun |
SandwichBubble
06.23.18 | basically I'm throwing, free round! free round! |
Astral Abortis
06.23.18 | I think it's less about playing it safe and more that there's a lot of great post punk from Europe |
SandwichBubble
06.23.18 | Alright then, if the next round's asia or africa, y'all better dish it out big willie style |
Astral Abortis
06.23.18 | Africa might be the only continent I have trouble with, because all the African music I know is either metal, or not actually made by Africans and instead just influenced by certain African cultures haha |
Sharkattack
06.23.18 | Call me bland but I think the music on this round has been weird as fuck. Leaning towards Africa next round. Might go with Asia though. |
Sharkattack
06.23.18 | Also sorry this round has been taking a bit longer than I was hoping for. Works been crazy as well as life + been jamming that new Death Grips a lot. Should have this up in a couple days. |
Sharkattack
06.26.18 | Sorry for the delay. I’m goin to start working on this and should have it up by tonight. I’m super sleep-deprived though so this might turn out weird. |
dbizzles
06.26.18 | Weird is fine. |
Sharkattack
06.26.18 | Had this like halfway done and then i fucking konked out and accidentally closed the window. So I’ll get on this again sometime today when I get time. Again really sorry for the delay. Wasn’t expecting it to take this long. |
SCREAM!
06.27.18 | RIP |
Sharkattack
06.28.18 | I’m sorry I swear I’m not pulling a drifter. |
Divaman
06.28.18 | Jeepers, Shark. |
Papa Universe
06.28.18 | Creepers, Diva. |
SCREAM!
06.28.18 | "So I’ll get on this again sometime today when I get time." Sharkattack 06.26.18
We still luv you boi |
Astral Abortis
06.28.18 | "I’m sorry I swear I’m not pulling a drifter."
Well he took a full month between lists last time. You've still got time to not be him |
Divaman
06.28.18 | Where'd you get those Peepers, Papa U? |
Sharkattack
06.28.18 | Read it and weep boys. |
Papa Universe
06.28.18 | More to prove that Porcupine is Echo's most overrated record.
also, "I don’t really understand this band". well sir, there's no salvation for thee then. |
Sharkattack
06.28.18 | I went back and forth between that and The murmuure record. The thing barely eeked it out. |
dbizzles
06.28.18 | BOI, I made it. Nice. |
SCREAM!
06.28.18 | lmao that was a close call
although I can't believe you called Murmuure unadventurous when it is like the most "out there" rec on this list smh |
Sharkattack
06.28.18 | I meant unadventurous in the sense that you only get 3-5 chords per song. |
SandwichBubble
06.28.18 | "More to prove that Porcupine is Echo's most overrated record."
how dare you
Glad you liked my rec, but I feel bad that I inadvertently rec'd something you've heard |
Sharkattack
06.28.18 | Yeah but I don’t know if i heard that specific record or anything |
Divaman
06.28.18 | Well, at least I went out on an album that I really like. |
Sharkattack
06.28.18 | Sorry diva. I didn’t want to do it but I had to. |
Divaman
06.28.18 | Hey, taste is taste. No regrets. |
