We are approaching March at a rapid rate and to make sure we have an adequate amount of MaDnEsS I thought I'd do another music bracket. This time I'll be trying to determine the best album ever!
DA RULES
1. No artist may have more than 1 album on the list
2. Immediately before judgement, I must listen to both albums start to finish at least once
3. Like the BSE, the losing album gets a write-up
4. Starting with 64 albums for my own sanity
5. No Greatest Hits, live albums or other compilations (Sorry Legend - Bob Marley)
6. Given enough interest, once we get down to 16 albums I'm going to open up predictions with the winner getting some kind of prize.
Here's the bracket with the starting 64:

Mostly I looked for albums that are great through and through with little filler. Albums with one bad song tended to get cut, even if the rest of album was great. It's definitely skewed towards modern albums but I can only do so much in that regards. Some older music is underrepresented since I would listen to a lot of Greatest Hits albums when I was playing catch-up for an artist. For example, there is no Rolling Stones album present since I just listened the crap out of 40 licks.
It's Damn fun to be doing this again. I'm looking forward to rediscovering my favorite albums. Expect some write-ups next week!
