It's a toss-up between Synthpunk & Mod for me. Either one is ok.


Suicidal Tendencies - Suicidal Tendencies


I vote for Synthpunk because I've never listened to that genre and it piques my interest.

I was this cool the whole time.

All of those votes are duly noted. I'll announce the genre we'll be continuing with along with the winner of this genre battle tomorrow. Until then!

And now for our next genre, which will indeed be Synthpunk! The list is mostly the same as the version that was posted earlier, although I discovered that the release by The Normal was in fact a single and not an album, so I propose we instead replace it with the album Knife Play by Xiu Xiu. That way we have some representation of music from our own century as well. ;) If everyone is alright with this, we'll begin again shortly.

Synthpunk
1. Suicide - Suicide
2. Devo - Duty Now For the Future
3. P-Model - In a Model Room
4. Units - Digital Stimulation
5. The Screamers - Demos 1977-78
6. Liaisons Dangereuses - Liaisons Dangereuses
7. Nervous Gender - Music From Hell
8. Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft - Alles Ist Gut
9. Xiu Xiu - Knife Play
10. Portion Control - ..Step Forward

I'm down for the synthpunk! I've only heard 5 of those albums in full but I should have time over the next few days to listen to the rest.

"stressed" is just "desserts" spelled backwards

Vote 4 off. Since this battle was announced on fairly short notice I'm going to give a generous 10-day deadline for the first round, so November 11 in other words.

I'm planning a move and have some various other stuff scheduled over the next few days so I will therefore leave a slightly longer deadline than perhaps necessary; as such, vote anytime before Thursday, November 16.
