The underdog (again). I've stated my case for the 'Mats already.

I don't like PTMM all that much, but Astral Weeks just doesn't cup my balls.

Hardest matchup yet. I'm inclined to go with the Mats but I need to mull it over some more.

Yeah, I probably listen to the 'Mats album way more often, but it's hard to argue against Astral Weeks being the better album.

Easy 'Mats pick for me, but I can dig how this is a tough one for a lot of folks.

It's Van of course, but this is the most interesting choice yet.

Van Morrison

I really only like Tim when it comes to The Mats.

I would have voted for any pre-PTMM Replacements album over Astral Weeks, but in this case I have to go with Van Morrison.

No shit. They came out on fire in the 1st half.

I think Tommy was something like 10 for 12 from 3 point land.
