Here are the matchups for Week 3.
Reminder: You are voting for the albums in question, not the artists. No strategic voting please. The voting will remain open until midnight Friday, July 22.
I'll start posting standings after this week. Or at least I'll email standings to Henrik and hopefully he'll post them for me.

Tie - Two artists I really like, but their albums that I think are the most grossly overrated.
Axis- One of my favorites!
Banquet- The Beach Boys rank can be attributed to Pet Sounds being number one and their great collection of singles.
Highway 61- Both are great, but I'm betraying Moonbeam this week.
pass
LZII- One of the best rock albums of all time.

Lets Get it On
Unplugged- tough call
Achtung Baby- Also close

Exodus- Top 20, not close call at all

Thanks. I did actually email Henrik an excel document with all the standings a couple of days ago. I'm sure he'll put it up when he gets around to it. But this is good for now.
Sorry, Rocky, I should have uploaded the Excel sheet as soon as I got your email. Now Andre beat me to it. His in-thread tables are more convenient to read, aren't they? Let me know if you want me to post the spreadsheet anyway.
Absolutely awesome post, Andre! Will you or Rocky continue to publish the results like that?
I may have to steal this format for the World Cup...
Sounds great. I'll email it on Monday because it's on my work computer. Thanks, Andre.
