Huh, for some reason I thought you'd voted for it in a previous bracket.

To be fair, neither is Sergeant Pepper's unless you're a senior staff writer for Rolling Stone.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Slint - Spiderland

I have only listened to ITAOTS once, and it was OK I guess. It was probably saddled with the burden of expectations, and that may be unfair but I make no claims to the contrary. Sgt. Peppers on the other hand I will still play if I want to and I still think it's bloody great, probably not the best album ever made (and probably not the best Beatles album either but I can't decide between this, Abbey Road and Revolver) but still very, very good.
The next one was a bit easier. Slint just had that impact when I heard it for the first time, whereas Bringing... is a Bob Dylan album but not THE Dylan album, so Slint gets the vote.
Radiohead beats Public Enemy for the reason that I can't chose between these albums but I guess I like the pop/rock thing more than the Rap thing. This was the second hardest choice I made.
Ummm, I like Kind of Blue more. That's about it. For how much I like both of these albums, this was a pretty easy choice. They're both genius albums though. Maybe it's the opening to So What?
Joy Division made some cool songs, but their albums? Meh.
This is the toughest choice. I will change it before this round is over. More than once.
I have heard neither of these albums.
This is my favourite album, and (and these two praises aren't as connected as you think) in my opinion the best album ever made. If this loses I will scream, even though it's The Clash. The Clash are not as good as The Beach Boys. Nobody is as good as The Beach Boys.

oh dickspeakers

StaedlerMars:
To be fair, voting against an album because you don't like how popular it is, is still saying that you don't like the album as much as is needed for it to win, and if you think the other album is good enough for you to vote against the NMH album, you're still casting an honest vote.

Make sense?

(Having said that, I still hope Low wins)

David_Dovey:
What I am saying is that MY Album Nomination Thread would be me nominating The Argument and then it is the Best Album and then I listen to it and I win.

BlahBlah:
I can't believe On the Beach didn't get through. I should have paid more attention and voted.

Blue:
Aeroplane
Bringing it all back home

Yellow:
OK Computer
Kind of Blue

Green:
Unknown Pleasures
Abbey Road

Orange:
Surfer Rosa
London Calling

Look out, Ninjas!: Are you aware that you've voted for two albums that are against each other? Highway 61 & Abbey Road.
