Dare-4
True-1
Rio-2

Japan or Orchestral Manouvres In The Dark or Heaven 17 would have been more suitable opponents.

PM Unknown Soldier if you so wish

Ok Heaven 17 win that one by 4-2-1 and keeping with the 80s theme, Il Duce has come up with these three albums which echo some other suggestions in the thread. Again take a few lines explaining your choice.

Heaven 17 The Luxury Gap 1983

Versus

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Dazzle Ships 1983

Versus

Japan Gentlemen Prefer Polaroids 1980

OMD should be disqualified because their lead singer discovered Kerry Katona & Atomic Kitten.

Heaven 17

actually, lots of people wanted Penthouse & Pavement, but I thought there were too many covers on there, this is generally good and vibrant synth-pop, with the bedazzling Come Live With Me. only downer is Lady Ice & Mr. Hex, which pulls the album down several notches

OMD

this is probably the best Kraftwerk tribute album ever, it's mostly musique concrete with some synth-pop tunes, this is probably the only progression synth-pop will find

Japan

sure, I like Sylvian's voice and all, and Gentlemen Take Polaroids and Night Porter are fab, but it is too "ambient" and lacking in energy, perhaps some more songs like their earlier single Visions of China would make it a more adequate album

so

H17 - 0
OMD -1
Japan - 0

Japan are fantastic. Sylvian is a legend.
H17-0
OMD-1
Japan-1

It looks like this battle will end in a draw. Next up courtesy of Electrophonic Tonic are these two well known albums from 2002. Also, if you`ve got any albums you`d like to see on Album Wars PM me your choices.

Queens Of The Stone Age Songs For The Deaf 2002

Versus

The White Stripes Elephant 2002

Sneer · 08-29-2011, 03:47 PM

Shiiiiiit, this is a good one. I love both, but whereas Elephant hits you in the gut, SFTD plants one right between the eyes, it just reaches slightly headier heights I think.

The White Stripes - 0
QOTSA - 1

Zer0 · 08-29-2011, 04:15 PM

I loved both albums when they were released. I played Songs For The Deaf to death and I basically lived inside it for months and I enjoyed Elephant nearly as much. These days however I don't really get off much on QOTSA although I still think Songs For The Deaf is a very good album, much better than their newer stuff. I prefer Elephant much more these days, It has stood the test of time better and is more suited to my current music tastes.

The White Stripes - 1
QOTSA - 1

RVCA · 08-29-2011, 06:33 PM

Wow, tough matchup. Both are extremely important albums to me, but I think SFTD is much more consistently ass-kicking than Elephant.

QOTSA - 2
White Stripes - 1
