Round of 64: (14) Fleetwood Mac - Rumours vs. (51) Rage Against the Machine - RATM Bracket

Round one is here. 62 years of albums with 2 convenient ties. What album will come out on top?

NOTICE: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE UNLESS YOU'VE HEARD BOTH ALBUMS. STOP DOING THIS SHIT.

For this matchup, we start with:

(14) Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

vs.

(51) Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine

 

two that couldn't be more different. gonna suck shit when the wrong one wins here.

 

This might be my favorite matchup yet. Absurd

 

bring that shit in

 

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me

 

we gotta take the poll back

 

What is going on with this poll? Its broken right?

 

I actually haven't heard that Rage record. Will listen this afternoon.

 

andy being shocked at a fleetwood mac album getting votes is pretty funny. this was bound to happen. rumours might win the whole thing. it'll stink when that happens though.

 

This is wild haha

 

i ... cannot imagine this being craig's bag hahaha, or at least enough so to overtake rumours off one listen

 

Haha, I mean, Rumours I probably top 20 or 30 all time for me, so it’s probably not taking that down, but I’m excited to listen.

 

Fuck me this is a difficult one

 

I do love RATM but I just can't deny the much larger role Rumours has had in my life.

 

Fuck me this was a tough one.

 

Love Rage. One of the heaviest records ever. But Rumours is an all-time favorite and wins by a good margin

 

I've gone for RATM. If Silver Springs was on the original Rumours it may have swayed me...

 

i dont think i can in good conscience take a stand here

 

If it was evil empire instead of self-titled I would probably choose that, but I went with Fleetwood Mac here

 

its gonna be Rage for me

 

Rage for me. I still remember where I was when I heard it for the first time in 94 and being blown away by it.

 

It's Rumours. Love Rage, but the album gets to be pretty one-note. Rumours deserves its status and the weird takes on it itt are hilarious

 

one note!!!!!!!!

 

also what is the "weird take itt" lol, there's like one take on the album in here and it's that silver springs would be the best song off it if it were on the album, which isn't that weird considering it was a massive, grammy nominated, top of the charts song lol

 

Rumours if only because it has the best production of any album ever
