so after this I think a best album showdown would be boss. Any country / any genre / solo band whatever. Same format and then get all the way down to the final and then give the prize to Hunky Dory.

Big Star

 

 

[Remmie]

Fingerbang only had one hit, but what a hit! 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Slayer

 

[Jose Jones]

I reckon Stig needs to have another tournament after the US one.

A solo artists (inc. backing band) one to include people like Springsteen and the E street band, or Prince, or Neil Young and Crazy Horse, or Aretha Franklin.

 

[Jose Jones]

Could also do a RoW one.

Bob Marley and the Wailers vs Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

AC/DC vs ABBA

It would take some album to beat Exile On Main Street and I don't think that comes anywhere near, each to their own and all that though.

I don't see Springsteen as a solo artist except on the records that name him as such (Nebraska etc)

The band has always been credited as such. Same with Tom Petty.
