Sometimes it sucks to be a high seed. Basically, everone agrees that Back In Black is a fantastic album, but as a number seven seed in ran straight into Abbey Road, and got sweeped. Only sweep of the bracket, though, as we had some tight matches, despite an ever-shrinking number of ringside judges (that comment button isn't gonna bite, ya know...) .
So here are the results of round one in bracket three.
What's Going On (1) - Sticky Fingers (8) 1-3
Ok Computer (4) - Ziggy Stardust (5) 2-3
Born To Run (3) - Purple Rain (6) 3-2
Abbey Road (2) - Back In Black (7) 4-0
Those are the correct results!
ReplyDeleteWith the exception of Sticky Fingers vs What's Going On (both 1971), the albums that won are older than the album that lost. Might reflect the judges (and I say that as someone pushing 60).
ReplyDeleteThere's also an anti "Black" slant to the results apart from Ziggy (one can't help think that the landslide win against "Back in Black" was racially motivated). Can't help liking what I like though :/
