I like White Light/White Heat, but there are days where After the Gold Rush is my favorite Neil.

I went with VU on this one. My feelings on Neil are well known but WL/WH is often my favourite album of all time.

After thought, I chose Neil, though I'd say on a whole I'd probably take Velvet Underground 3 out of 4 times.

Cmon people. Neil could really use the tournament prize money to support his special needs children.
