Christ. Fuck it I'm pulling the trigger.

2 of the greatest things ever put to wax. My favorite Dylan album and, at times, my favorite Stones.

Dylan at his most dense, loose, illusory, and honest. His lyrics on this at one point hit me harder than the hardest of Sabbath riffs.

But, in the end I think I may always lean towards the elegantly wasted majesty of Sticky Fingers. Musically, nothing on Blonde on Blonde hits as hard as that opening riff of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". Dylan just had himself but Mick had Keith. Hearing the beginning of that song makes me want to do bad things.

And, as noted in the last poll involving the Stones, Moonlight Mile may be the best song of all time.

Stones.

Yeah and Keith doesn't even play guitar on the most devastating riff on the whole record ("Sway") That's a deep bench, man.

This matchup pisses me off though: Is OPA manipulating these or has there been a "bracket" the whole time?

Also, I went and checked my Listmania just to make sure I was being consistent in voting the Stones here:
