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.

Pixies. I don't really love either of these, but I will go through occasional binges.

Come on Pilgrim is a little better in my opinion, but even that aside, come on mother fuckers, it's blood on the tracks.

This is the official line of demarcation where a Pixies album is better than a Dylan album. Love both but love Dolittle more.

I like Doolittle but its immensely over rated by the one generation of listeners who care about it.

Dylan's second best album. X.

Dylan.

But maybe just because it's been a lot longer since I've listened to Doolittle than BOTT.

Don't care much either way.

I like the Pixies fine, but I listen to that Dylan album a shit ton. Not sure if I would say ti is my favorite Dylan, but it probably is my most listened to. Always comes across good waking up at noon with some strong coffee, a handful of aspirin and a smoke.

i'd be okay with either. Blood was at one time my favorite Bob album, but as I've dug deeper it means less to me. After burning it out I had to take a loooooong break from Doolittle, but i've recently rediscovered it.

not sure who i'm going to vote for

I love Doolittle, but probably like and listen to both Surfer Rosa and Bossanova more.

Idiot WInd and Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts are the best songs on BOTT, and examples of songs I wish Dylan could have channeled a bit more in latter day albums.

In the end, I just don't care.
