Default Classic Album Face Off

Years ago I did a band Face Off on The Ledge that took a year (a whole year!!) to complete and in the end Led Zeppelin won. Well, in the spirit of that, here's a random Classic Albums Face Off. Just vote for the one you like the best and post which album you voted for and why. It will be fun!

Hmmm limited choices..... and definitely a difficult choice at that. But I went with Bobby.

Absolutely The Beatles.

Reasons: this album was made during my favorite Beatle era- moving away from Beatlemania. The music continued to improve from here on out. Getting Better, Being for the Benefiit of Mr. Kite, and A Day in the Life are my favorites.

I actually went with the Beach Boys on this one.
After all, Paul McCartney did say that Pet Sounds was a major influence for Sgt. Pep.

However, all three albums were very innovative and influential.

I voted for Sgt.Peppers! It has to be one of my favorite Beatles albums of all time. If not my favorite, it's tied with Rubber Soul. I also just saw Sir Paul (3rd row!) in Atlanta and he preformed Sgt. Peppers and it was fantastic!

Ah, I remember the last time you did this. Good times.


I voted for Sgt. Pepper's (although, Revolver is probably my favorite Beatles album). I've never been a big Bob Dylan fan, and the Beach Boys have always just annoyed me.

Sgt. Pepper is so wildly overrated, its ridiculous.

Pet Sounds is pretty overrated too, but since its the best of these three, it gets my vote.

I went with the Beatles, even though Sgt Pepper might be my least favourite album of theirs... idk why, it just seems to get the least airplay. Maybe I overdid it a few years ago The other two are still awesome though

It's getting better all the time!

I don't get bob dylan. His voice is so annoying and his style is so hard to listen to its hardly catchy. I get that some like him but I don't get how he's so legendary when he's so hard to listen to.

For me, it was Beatles VS. Beach Boys in that round. It was a tough pick, but I have to go with Beatles because it was just such a wacky album.

Had to go with Sgt. Pepper here, even though I think Rubber Soul and Abbey Road are their best albums.

I wish I was on The Ledge when the year long face-off was happening..I love things like that!! Any chance of this running that long if we expand the choices? I'm up for adding a few to it to get us started...

I don't know- I went with the Beach Boys. I just DO NOT like The Beatles.

for me, it was a toss up between pet sounds and highway 61 revisited. i have never been a big beatles fan and i probably never will be, although i do have an appreciation for their vast contribution to modern music and for the many bands i love that they have influenced.

pet sounds is gorgeous and fun and brilliant, but at this point in my life i prefer the nasally ramblin' man aesthetic and gritty poetry of the baaahb.
