And then there were two.

We started three weeks ago with 16 albums, and some legends have fallen along the way. There were some surprising upsets, some razor-thin margins of victory, and more than a few blowouts, not unlike the actual NCAA Tournament (at least from the little I see on Sports Center; I gave up watching college basketball when Bill Clinton was president). The two remaining albums are definitely not Cinderella teams, however.

One finalist remained on the Billboard 200 chart for a stunning 972 weeks (that’s just under 19 years). The other is the one Jesus is listening to right now, so if you have your eyes set on heaven you better get on board. The championship round is:

Dark Side of the Moon vs. Born to Run

These were the final scores from the Final Four (winner in bold):

1. Dark Side of the Moon 16 London Calling 10

2. Led Zeppelin IV 11 Born to Run 15

If you haven’t read the articles for the three previous rounds, you can do that below, and even if you didn’t vote before there is still time to jump on board for the final round.
