Many bands have two albums that are acclaimed among music fans and critics. Sometimes there are debates between which one's better.

As we have many music fans on this site, I'd like your input. Each question will be numbered. Post a reply, with the number, and then your personal choice.

1. The Beatles: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band vs Abbey Road
2. Nirvana: Nevermind vs In Utero
3. Weezer: Weezer (Blue Album) vs Pinkerton
4. The Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers vs Exile on Main St.
5. Tool: Aenima vs Lateralus
6. Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral vs The Fragile
7. Kraftwerk: Autobahn vs Trans-Siberian Express
8. Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon vs Wish You Were Here
9. Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar * Magik vs Californication
10. Massive Attack: Blue Lines vs Mezzanine
11. Beck: Odelay vs Sea Change
12. Metallica: Ride the Lightning vs Master of Puppets
13. Public Enemy: It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back vs Fear of a Black Planet
14. Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works '85-93 vs The Richard D. James Album
15. Slayer: Reign in Blood vs Seasons in the Abyss
16. U2: The Joshua Tree vs Achtung Baby
17. Envy: All the Footprints You've Left Behind and the Fear Expecting Ahead vs A Dead Sinking Story
18. Black Sabbath: Paranoid vs Master of Reality
19. System of a Down: System of a Down vs Toxicity
20. The Prodigy: Music for the Jilted Generation vs The Fat of the Land

Get comparing!

NOTE: You don't have to do all of these, just do the ones that are by bands you like wink

I disagree with 2, 3, 6, and 14. But you've already defended 2 and 3, and I'm not as familiar with 6 and 14.

But state why you chose 6 and 14.

sanddude · 2012-02-24 20:07:14

Led Zeppelin IV vs Houses of the Holy

I say tie.

the fragile has better songs, a better overarching concept, and smells better
can't argue with that

rdj is just a beautiful album right from the beginning. "4" is one of the greatest pieces of electronic music i've heard. saw is alright, but iunno. also i was under the impression that most people like saw ii more

oh and at the below IV

I remember this from Misc. XD I'm a huge music fan, so this is definitely my topic. tongue

The Beatles - That's a hard one. They are both great and revolutionary. I greatly enjoy them both, but Sgt. Pepper's was maybe a little bit more groundbreaking.

I don't have the rest. tongue I'll create some, too.

Boston - Boston or Third Stage
Eagles - Hotel California or One of These Nights
The Kinks - Kinks or Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One

There isn't even an argument here. WARNING: THIS IS A STRONG OPINION AND THOSE WHO ARE SENSITIVE MAY NOT WANT TO READ BELOW.

Dookie is the most consistently great album of the 1990's besides Weezer's Weezer.
American Idiot is a very simple and annoying album with a hidden meaning that is easy to catch.

Difference? Maybe a little...
