In the first round, we said goodbye to lesser known bands and artists such as The Radio Dept., Elbow, Mew, Joanna Newsom and Tom McRae, and also lost a number of heavyweights including Muse, Bloc Party and Sufjan Stevens.
In The Quarter Finals, the next to go out were Broken Social Scene, The Futureheads and Thom Yorke, while Bjork lost a tough battle against favourites Radiohead.
The Semi Finals saw Radiohead storm to victory against Sigur Ros, and Jeff Buckley beat The Arcade Fire in extra time!
So the FINAL is:
Will Radiohead be "lucky" enough to win, or will they be left "High and Dry"? Will we be saying our "last goodbye" to Jeff if he Buckles under the pressure, or will he be singing "Hallelujah" whilst lifting the trophy?
3rd/4th place playoff:
Will the Fire knock the "Power Out" of Sigur Ros, or can the Icelandic band….err…. *shrugs*
Your vote is important as the winner will get:
1. 50 extra plays by me as I listen to them constantly for a day as a tribute to their win.
2. Which probably means they'll get my 3000th play!
3. An Album review in my journal.
4. The winner will also be tagged "World Cup winners"
…OK so the prizes are all pretty lame but their better than nothing!

Finally, and honorary mention to The Carter Manoeuvre who pulled out to allow Thom Yorke in the competition, as The Carter Manoeuvre are but a small amatuer (yet amazing) band who wouldn't get many votes!
