This is the first round of the tournament stage. Please vote for the album that you feel should move on to the second round.

I like both a lot for different reasons, but went with the Pogues.

This is my absolute favorite BTS album, and one that I could even consider a gateway album for me in a way. I haven't entered that Pogues gate.

BTS

Yeah, I think that's more of a relationship hole...

I went with Built to Spill as well

Built to Spill - my favorite album of theirs. I just started listening to the pogues over the last year and like a good portion of that album but it wouldn't even be in my top 100 and PFNO is top 15.

built to spill is okay, and I've never heard the pogues consciously.

"Sally MacLennane" really sealed it for me.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to pick the Pogues after hearing the back-to-back perfection of "Out of Site" and "Kicked it in the Sun"

Easy as picking against BTS after hearing "A Pair of Brown Eyes" and "Sally MacLennane" back-to-back.
