So @dnc came close to running the table on predicting how these albums would do. 3 of the 4 bracket championships are 1 vs 2 seeds. The only miss - i.e., #3 vs #4 - in the 1970's is on me. I let me confirmation bias in with Exile and Rumors as the 1 and 2 seeds.

Frankly, this is a travesty.

Yeah, I know about how long Dark Side was on the charts, blah, blah, and its supposed significance in music, but I think if you go listen to both of these albums back to back, you're going to think Dark Side is riding on reputation and not how much it rocks. Highway to Hell just rocks. Really fucking well.

Strong disagree. Dark side is the only album in this tournament I ever listen to beginning to end anymore.

Dark Side is some legendary shit.

Doesn't matter. Back in Black is a goddamn sledgehammer of musical justice.
