    Stevie album is obviously a masterpiece, but Disintegration is so uniquely entrancing. Also, "Pictures of You">

    Stevie speaks to my music obsessive brain, but The Cure speaks to my music depressive heart.

    It's clearly Stevie for me, and honestly am a bit bummed that he isn't getting the votes

    i'm more surprised than bummed. stevie was one of the highest vote getters we had in the early months of this whereas the cure kinda squeaked a victory in when we were getting peak amount of votes

    Very surprised to see so few votes for Stevie. I adore the cure but wow

    Surprisingly went with The Cure. I love Stevie, and Music of My Mind, Talking Book or Innervisions would take this matchup, but as much of an achievement as Songs is, it doesn't really flow for me. Meanwhile, Disintegration works SO well as a sequence of songs.

    Relistening to Stevie this morning and while my love for Disintegration is unshakable, there really are no wrong answers in this one. Two completely different, but amazing records here.
