Not much of an issue here, although Bruce comes close.

You should have used Listmania to do the seedings; its absurd to have Darkness and Sticky Fingers against each other this early.

For me, Sticky Fingers is one of those albums that just gets better every year. And it started out as sheer greatness.

Its the best album in this group even if it was just 'Sway' ten times.

Anyone not voting Sticky Fingers hates sex, music and music and sex, in that order.

Correction, it looks like a battle between Radiohead and the Rolling Stones for first.

Man, this one was brutal. I ended up going with the Stones but it was a tough call.

Really, it just came down to how I felt about the 8th, 9th, or 10th best song on Sticky vs the same for Darkness. The best of both records are pretty equal IMO.

I LOVE Bruce and this was still one of the easier calls of this round. No fucking contest.

Just voted, but am disgusted that Secaucus and The Bends are in the same group.

I went with the Stones although I nominated Darkness. I love that Josh Ritter album too, but up against two classics...
