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 Wednesday at 2:00PM Eastern.

The Clash.

Interestingly (maybe), if it had been OK Computer versus London Calling, I'd have picked Radiohead.

The Bends is Radiohead's best album, but this isn't even close

I went with The Bends, since it is the album that successfully brought me out of my punk phase.

Clash. I like some songs on The Bends but most of it doesn't do it for me.

If it were London Calling, it would have been closer. As it is, I went with the best album.

'White Riot' is better than all the whispers and sighs of The Bends.

Of course I have, bought in 1995 or thereabouts. Note that I didn't say anywhere that I hate The Bends or Radiohead, just that I'm answering the question "What's the Better Album?". I don't understand why everyone fusses over this album. On the occasional time when I do put it on, I usually only listen to about half the songs and skip all the others.

No doubt. Very likely these records' big brothers will face off in not too long.

Please, let justice prevail. Clash 100%. Should be a landslide.

Bends for me. I don't listen to "The Clash" all that much anymore but really do like the album.
