__________________________

Also, it's getting to be about time to decide what battle to do next, and good to give an early heads up so we can prepare by listening in advance before the battle commences.
This time I've decided to choose three of the remaining battles at random and put it to a vote. The random number generator yielded these genre battles:

1. Alternative Rock

Spoiler for albums:

2. Industrial Rock

Spoiler for albums:

3. Post-Grunge

Spoiler for albums:

So if you have a preference, go ahead and vote for the one that interests you the most (this also goes out to those of you not currently participating in the game, provided you would be willing to participate in the battle you're voting for). Or if none of them greatly interests you, feel free to suggest something else. The last thing we want is to announce a battle and have no one participate. That's all for now

Big Star - #1 Record

As far as my preference for the next battle, I'll go with Alternative Rock.

The Replacements- Tim

Don't agree with Psy-Fi on the best Power Pop album but I do agree with him on Alternative Rock.

Concerning the next battle, I guess I'm most in favour of Alt-Rock as well. Update soon

Nope, not this time. Obviously, Nevermind would be the definitive Nirvana album, but I actually like In Utero better, so don't change a thing
