    I'm going to go throw myself down in the parking lot for voting against Jimi.

    But then I'm going to get up, listen to Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, and know I did the proper thing.

    Rock and roll ain't no riddle, man. To me it makes good, good sense!! Good sense!

    Are You Experienced is more important to rock history than Back in Black. Plain and simple. But what have I listened to mor when drunk in college? It's not even close. Back in Black was the first "heavy" album i bought after getting into Zep as a young snow.

    This...

    Pretty sure Jimi will be played on the PA at Husky Stadium this fall for the players' families to enjoy. Doubtful on AC/DC.

    I've ever listened to Jimi while banging a drunk chick in the blackberry brambles at a HS keggar, or while some hillbillie beats up a stranger at same party for looking at his girlfriend wrong or because of the rumor about him being gay. I've never listened to Jimi while watching Bill Bob run his jacked up chevy through the swamp. Never listened to Jimi while riding shotgun in my buddies jackes up "yoda" and shooting road signs and street lights out the window with a 22...

    Ah...the memories. Good times.

    This is still the easiest vote of this thing so far though. Not even close. Fuck me. You dorks are going to make me hate ACDC. They're fun. Kinda cute really...

    I knew this was going to tip chuck over.

    Once again in these poles it seems to always be a question of if you’re voting for the “better” choice academically speaking or what is your personal preference.

    This is the time where I can vote for both the more culturally relevant choice AND what just plain makes my heart sing.

    Love AC/DC...but Jimi and this album are the GOAT!

    Jimi is the classic old master painter that is far more appreciated now long after his death than he was when alive. I think for skill he is the GOAT guitar player but the music matters too

    I enjoy the "lost" tapes of the stuff that didn't get released more than the albums that did. Red House is a particular favorite

    If she don't love me her sister will

    Red House is a classic, and there are some alternate versions out there that are cool as hell too. His take on Killing Floor is one of my favorites. Radio One or the BBC recordings live in the studio also rules...Catfish Blues and Driving South being highlights for me.
