Sometimes when a band releases two popular albums, and there's an ongoing battle between fans over which one's better. If you are a fan of any of these bands, please comment over which one you think's better.

1. The Beatles: Rubber Soul vs. Revolver
2. Radiohead: OK Computer vs. Kid A
3. Weezer: Weezer (Blue Album) vs. Pinkerton
4. Nirvana: Nevermind vs. In Utero
5. The White Stripes: White Blood Cells vs. Elephant
6. Eminem: The Slim Shady LP vs. The Marshall Mathers LP
7. The Chemical Brothers: Exit Planet Dust vs. Dig Your Own Hole
8. Daft Punk: Homework vs. Discovery
9. Jimmy Eat World: Clarity vs. Bleed American
10. Metallica: Ride the Lightning vs. Master of Puppets
11. Gorillaz: Gorillaz vs. Demon Days
12. Beck: Odelay vs. Sea Change


So if you're a fan of any of these groups, which one do you like better and why?

Let the comparing begin.

1. Revolver
2. OK Computer
3. Pinkerton
4. In Utero
5. Elephant
6. n/a
7. n/a
8. n/a
9. Bleed Americon
10. n/a
11. n/a
12. Odelay

1. Rubber Soul. Revolver doesn't have "In My Life" on it.
2. OK Computer. Better individual songs.
3. Blue Album. Pinkerton's great, but all the songs on The Blue Album are great, and Pinkerton had one not-so-good song.
4. Extremely close, but Nevermind. While I prefer the production on In Utero, the music on Nevermind's just a little bit better.
5. Elephant. I love White Blood Cells, but I think Elephant was more mature and varied, which is a good thing.
6. The Slim Shady LP. No skippable tracks, unlike MMLP which has a few.
7. Dig Your Own Hole. Title track is just flat out awesome.
8. Discovery. The best songs are on Homework, but Discovery's a better front to back listen. Discovery doesn't have any filler, unlike Homework.
9. Clarity. It's just more beautiful.
10. Ride the Lightning. Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Call of Ktulu really do it for me.
11. Demon Days. Gorillaz has some of my favorite songs of theirs, but Demon Days is a better front to back listen.
12. Odelay. While Sea Change is great and more personal, Odelay's more varied to me.

also here's some


Aphex Twin: drukqs vs. Richard D. James Album
Magnetic Fields: 69 Love Songs vs. Get Lost
Guided by Voices: Alien Lanes vs. Bee Thousand
The Flaming Lips: Transmissions from the Satellite Heart vs. The Soft Bulletin
The Smashing Pumpkins: Mellon Collie vs. Siamese Dream
They Might Be Giants: Flood vs. Apollo 18
Yes: Fragile vs. Close to the Edge

I was going to put Smashing Pumpkins, but Siamese Dream seems to be too widely accepted as their best album. TMBG is a good one, but I think s/t vs Flopd would be more debatable.

Oh, and the sub-par one was "Tired of *". It's not terrible, but I just don't like it as much. The rest of the album is perfect, and without that song, Blue Album and Pinkerton would be a tie.

oh yeah s/t

and i don't even
:I
that song is great imo
and all of the songs blow blue out of the freaking water

Eh... that's just me. I get where your coming from though. Pinkerton was a more personal album for Rivers. I think Pinkerton's a very close second best, because it's a great album.

Modest Mouse: The Moon & Antarctica vs. Good News for People Who Love Bad News
Sufjan Stevens: Illinois vs. The Age of Adz

Hmmmmm...
I guess I just don't like the music on Blue as much, although it's of much higher quality than junk like Raditude.

I don't know.
I like The Fragile better than both though. And The Slip better than all.

And maybe Girl Talk: Night Ripper vs Feed The Animals?

Or The Strokes: Is This It vs Angles?

Is This It vs. Angles isn't debated at all.

Oh, and veggieman why exactly do you prefer BA over Clarity? Is it just a musical taste thing, or are there any more specific reasons? And I didn't know you liked JEW.

I don't like Jimmy Eat World. I prefer the songs on BA though.

So I guess what you said is if you had to listen to them, you'd choose Bleed American over Clarity?

Also, could you please not do the comparisons if you dislike the band? I kind of want more of a fan-based comparison, instead of a lesser of two evils type comparison.

Oh sorry it's a bit of a misunderstanding. I don't like like the band, but I think they're alright. And I do like Bleed American as an album.
