The results from the Sweet Sixteen round of the Rate-An-Album March Madness series are in; there were some blowouts (think North Carolina vs. Eastern Wisconsin A&M) and one that went right down to the wire. The matchups only get harder in this round, and I expect it will be even harder to choose between them this week. If you haven’t read the original, you can check it out below (though obviously the voting is closed).

These were the final scores (winner in bold):

1. Dark Side of the Moon 10 vs. Rumours 9

2. Rubber Soul 16 vs. Appetite for Destruction 3

3. London Calling 12 vs. Hotel California 7

4. Blonde on Blonde 13 vs. At Folsom Prison 6

5. Led Zeppelin IV 15 vs. Back in Black 4

6. Let It Bleed 12 vs. Jagged Little Pill 7

7. Nevermind 6 vs. What’s Going On 13
