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

To encourage as many votes as possible, the deadline to vote will be Friday at 2:00PM Eastern.

NOTE: I'm doing two more today cause I only did 2 match-ups yesterday.

In Utero was the first cassette I bought after getting a stereo put in my truck in high school.

Other than "rape me" I've never been a big fan of In Utero.

I'm torn on this one, I'm voting Nirvana...there are enough Dylan albums that will make it through.

I'm breaking with my usual orthodoxy and going Nirvana. This is Dylan's most overrated album.

Dylan, I was never a Nirvana fan and Idiot Wind destroys everything on In Utero.

I really don't know here. I'm not as familiar with either album as I should be, but like both.

I own both, but should be MORE familiar with both.
Still, gotta go with Bob, as that was the record of his that really broke it open for my appreciation of him.

Nirvana, much as I like Blood on the Tracks.

Had it been Bringing It All Back Home, I just would have cried and given up.

Overrated or not, Blood is my favorite Dylan album, probably because it got in the door first.

This is unfortunate.

It really does look like this is just gonna end up Beatles vs. Stones vs. Dylan vs. London Calling.

Can't really say I expected any different, but it's still disappointing.

Yeah, it would be nice to see a slightly more diverse ending. At the very least we can dethrone London Calling.
