This is the second round of the tournament stage. Please vote for the album that you feel should move on to the quarterfinals (aka Sweet 16).

To encourage as many votes as possible, the deadline to vote will be Wednesday at 1:00PM Eastern.

No problem with that whatsoever, just bringing up a point.

This match up is like an arm wrestling contest between Andre the Giant and Hervé Villechaize.

I dislike the Beatles as much as anyone, but against Built to Spill? Hell, I think I gotta vote for them limeys.

I want you to know I'm resisting the urge to be snarky here, and that the strain of it is making me sweat.

No need. I mean... I guess I'm getting a little tired of the "anti [classic act]" sentiment, and maybe that's not what you intended. I don't wanna be an ass.

I'm only doing that if I'm not particularly fond of the album in question. I like every album that followed it (with the possible exception of Let it Be) better than Rubber Soul as well as several of the albums that preceded it. I have no desire to listen to it again anytime soon, and I'm not going to let an album's historical significance effect my vote for which is my favorite.

These polls have actually made me really want to listen to this particular BTS album again, but not quite enough for me to try to dig my copy out of storage right now.

Of course I don't think BTS should have made it anywhere near this far, but they're obviously going to lose this round anyway.

The White Album and Revolver are both going pretty far in these polls. That's enough.
