White Album never fails to pull me in; "Revolution #9" and all.

The overwhelming sense of meh I have for Wilco defeats my desire to see the Beatles stopped. I vote Beatles.

So the elite eight matchup in this bracket is shaping up to be White Album vs. Revolver. I know it's not surprising, but ugh I wish there were more surprises.

The Beatles - White Album

White Album will get crushed by Revolver IMO, Todd. It's way too uneven in comparison.
