Round three is here. 16 winners of the previous round. 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:

(3) Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

vs.

(14) Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

 

do you like harmonies or do you like riffs?

 

Riffs baby

 

Harmonies baby

 

Rumours

 

Give me those harmonies

 

This is a tough one but I'm going MC. Means more to me, even if Rumours is an undeniable classic.

 

Pumpkins easy

 

Rumours.

 

Toughest matchup of this round

 

Pumpkins

 

Talk about polar opposite albums lol, but both classics. Have to think on this one for a minute.

 

Imagine pretending like "Go Your Own Way" and "The Chain" don't have riffs. Puh-lease.

Love me some Mellon Collie, but not a hard pick for me. Rumours all the way.

 

the chain for sure. if you think go your own way, a great song, has riffs i don't think you know what a riff is lol

 

pumpkins

 

Things are getting tough but it's Rumours pretty easily for me.

 

I’m always surprised Never Going Back Again doesn’t get brought up more often. As good a 2 minute song you could ever hope to find. Simple orchestration that packs a real punch

 

Only one of these albums has Porcelina of the Vast Oceans and Jimmy Chamberlin on drums

 

Team Riff

 

Only one of them has "Songbird"

 

neither of them have silver springs, a big ole L

 

this is true. album is incomplete without silve springs, the true closer

 

Mellon Collie matters to me more AND is better

Rumours rules though

 

Listened to both again to help me decide and I’m going for riffs!

 

Do you not count bass?
