Round of 64: (24) The Beatles - Abbey Road vs. (41) Manchester Orchestra - METN Bracket

Round one is here. 62 years of albums with 2 convenient ties. What album will come out on top?

For this matchup, we start with:

(24) The Beatles - Abbey Road)

vs.

(41) Manchester Orchestra - Mean Everything to Nothing

 

come on lol

 

I think those British underdogs will put up a good fight, but ultimately lose.

 

if that happens this entire site should be shuttered

 

I really like ManOrch, but 1) METN is maybe their third best album, IMO; and 2) Come on, it's Abbey Road, a pantheon Beatles album with the best Beatles song of all time on it ("Something," George Harrison the God). No contest here.

 

^^^ yep lol. all of it.

 

One could only dream!

 

tbh i just voted for METN because a) i don't really care for the beatles and b) it's funny when apxcore bands win things they shouldn't to me

 

I do think "I've Got Friends" represents the album a bit better (not my fave) than what I believe is the weakest song on the record, My Friend Marcus.

 

That's another thing with METN: I think it has about six amazing songs and then the other half is stuff I don't ever think about when I'm not listening to the record.

 

if i ever hear ive got friends again itll be too soon. remarkably annoying song

 

My motion for substitution would also find Pride, Shake it Out, or The River as acceptable. Thank you, your honor.

 

i like my friend marcus. i will not be changing.

 

Not a huge fan of either but went METN as it has a few songs I love.

 

I don't even care about the Beatles and this still seems too close.

 

METN is great and has some songs that make me second guess, but as a whole, Abbey Road is Abbey Road

 

Folks, what are we doing here?

 

I'm one of the 6 and i don't even care. No shame.

 

Yup lol

 

beatles easily

 

I mean…come on.

 

As one of the only humans on the planet who despises The Beatles, this was easy. Especially because I truly love Manchester Orchestra.

 

you're telling on yourself. you don't have to do that

 

Imagine saying that out loud
