Apologies again for the delays this battle, it was a busy week like I said. Anyway, unsurprisingly Iggy and the Stooges have taken the win!

I've also not gotten around to finding the next three genres for us to vote on, but I figure I might as well leave it up to the rest of you for once, so just have a look at the list of remaining battles on the first page and see what you might like to do next. I'm open to all suggestions. See you soon!

What do you guys think of either Canterbury Scene or Industrial Rock?

Canterbury Scene would be new for me and I would have to listen to all of the albums but it would be interesting.

[Psy-Fi]

I'm familiar with enough of the following choices, that I won't need to do much in the way of extra listening...

Blues
Hardcore Punk
Pop Punk
80's Arena Rock
Post Punk
Industrial
Rock Opera
Soft Rock
Space Rock
Arena-Oriented Rock

Everything else on the list will require more listening time on my part.

[Lexi Darling]

After browsing the list, the one that immediately jumps out at me is industrial rock, so if that's DJ's pick, I'll vote for it as well. I'd be fine to do post hardcore, stoner rock, space rock or melodic hardcore as well.

I hear you on Industrial Rock, so I think I'll make an adjustment to my tentative schedule and continue with this as our next battle.
Here is the list in its current form, are there any changes any of you would like to make before we get going?:

Industrial Rock

1. Grotus - Slow Motion Apocalypse
2. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
3. Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park
4. Ministry - Land of Rape and Honey
5. Cabaret Voltaire - Red Mecca
6. Chrome - Red Exposure
7. Cop Shoot Cop - Ask Questions Later
8. Einstürzende Neubauten - 1/2 Mensch
9. Foetus - Hole
10. Killing Joke - Pandemonium

Since Dj mentioned the Canterbury Scene list I would also like to take the opportunity to schedule that immediately after the Industrial battle, which should provide a nice contrast to our recently explored genres. That way, even if some of us have a lot of listening to do in preparation for the CS battle, we'll have extra time to listen while Industrial is still ongoing

Nobody seems to have an issue with the list, so I'll get us going for now.

Industrial Rock

1. Grotus - Slow Motion Apocalypse
2. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
3. Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park
4. Ministry - Land of Rape and Honey
5. Cabaret Voltaire - Red Mecca
6. Chrome - Red Exposure
7. Cop Shoot Cop - Ask Questions Later
8. Einstürzende Neubauten - 1/2 Mensch
9. Foetus - Hole
10. Killing Joke - Pandemonium

Vote 4 off.
I was aiming for the 22nd to be the beginning of this battle with a 14-day voting period for the first round. Since it's a day later I will just shorten it to a 13-day period, meaning March 7 is our deadline. Hope this is okay with everyone. Happy listening!
