Strike Anywhere and As Cities Burn.

Man that was difficult. Dead To Me is my all time favourite band, but I know i'll likely be the only one voting, and Strike outdid them.
So then it came down to either mewithoutYou or As Cities Burn. Very tough, either one would have worked, but I chose As Cities Burn.

Them Crooked Vultures is an obvious choice for me.

As for the other, well, I'll give it to U2. They were the only other group I've heard thus far that stood out to me.

Okay, I voted for Converge and Metric without posting it but Mandala is in my top 15 or 20 favorite albums ever. Sorry Metric.

Whoops. I had that on here but it was nominated twice and I apparently got rid of both (since I mostly copy+pasted everything from the nominations).
