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 Monday at 2:00PM Eastern.

If you had recently saw The Mats instead of Wilco, I think you would have went with The Mats.

Hopefully.

I don't have a horse in this race, but I'll vote in favor of (presumed) hatred.

I voted YHF just to watch billy and roggy cry.

Mats is the right vote but Failtrot is the worst Wilco. The one that followed it was much worse.

AGIB has way better songs than YHF.

wilco is incredibly boring. A.M, Being There, and Summerteeth each have 3-4 really good songs, but since then they have been going through the motions and churning out really forgettable stuff. i still give their albums a shot every now and then, but immediately start skipping ahead and end up moving on to something else. who woulda thought years ago that son volt would end up being such a better band in the long run.

Wilco.

Aside from "Heavy Metal Drummer", I still enjoy YHF. I really like the Mats, but I like them less than I used to, and I only like about half of PTMM.

<---- Raises Hand

I'm surprised you'd put Failtrot above AGIB though. AGIB is barely listenable to me -- a complete snoozer that I was always happy to have end before I finally gave up on it completely. I'm also surprised that you'd put Pleased to Meet Me as 4th best. I can see 3rd best (although for me its probably 2nd best) but what besides Let It Be and Tim do you prefer over it?

Tim, Let it Be, Hootenanny/PTTM

I wish the Mats albums sounded as raw and drunk as their image. Their production is so clean and bright.
