Voted House of Sleep in the end. Sampo's definitely not my favourite overall, though. It has a great start and decent verses, but I find the chorus an anticlimax.

I have no idea about Amorphis so I didn't participate in this survivor, but I will be listening to the Top 10 soon to have an idea about the band.

I think it's pretty representative of the band, although a little biased towards the softer side of the newer Tomi-fronted material.

Thanks to all the voters! This was a fun game. Shouldn't have lasted this long, could've had more voters and less blasphemy, but oh well... Not satisfied, can't get over You I Need getting eliminated after 2 rounds :P
 
Also here's the Top 10 with YouTube links for people like @The Flash who want to get to know the band based on that :)

Not a bad top ten at all. Wasn't this meant to be a 'short, end-of-year game'? :P It was good to encourage one or two more people to give Amorphis a spin, too. Since I started listening to them, I've been genuinely surprised that they don't have a bigger following. Maybe they're not heavy enough for some, but equally, I would have thought they were melodic enough, if not sometimes catchy enough, to attract a wider audience.
 
So, I gave the Top 10 a spin.

This might be a controversial opinion seeing how the Top 10 turned out and the links NP provided, but I enjoyed "Magic & Mayhem", "My Kantele" and "The Castaway" the most. And I enjoyed the original versions of those songs more. Safe to say I should be checking out early Amorphis records?
