Fuck me, I was going to make a post with all of the albums and genres like I did last time, but I forgot. Sorry folks! Will try and remember next time!

Portishead - Third for sure.

BastardofYoung · 08-19-2011, 01:10 AM

go Black Flag.

You've got just over 24 hours to decide whether you want to listen to Dalek or Portishead, so let's break this tie!

Despite the fact that I suggest Dalek, I'm glad Portishead is winning. Never listened to them.

i would have never thought that the term "feeling badass" and Portishead would be in the same sentence.....i think this should be very interesting

Yep, I think the theme came to mean "pick an album at random" more than anything else.

jackhammer · 08-20-2011, 07:30 PM

I would go for Dalek. Although Portishead's Third divided many people, I am sure most here have heard them at one point or another whereas Dalek deserve a bigger audience.

Paedantic Basterd · 08-20-2011, 08:12 PM

Shrug.

Feelings are subjective, so in that way, it's a really ambiguous, perhaps ineffective theme. It did win fairly, however.
