Seems pretty obvious by now that STP will win.

It was obvious for me right from the start, even though STP is my least favourite album.   True, there are some really great songs on the album, but not enough for it to be one of my favourites.

I still have hopes that Get Lucky could get lucky and win in the end, just like Rocky wins against Apollo at the very last second.  ;D

Get Lucky also has many great songs, but also some that are not on my list of favourites - "You Can't Beat The House", "Hard Shoulder" and "The Car Was The One" for example.

Hard Shoulder is one of my faves. It's MK doing Glen Campbell doing Jimmy Webb.

I must admit that I didn't really hear the Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb connection, but now I can definitely hear it!   :)

@JF Yes, it does sound a bit Christmassy!
