Round of 32: (7) Jimmy Eat World - Futures vs. (39) Prince - Purple Rain Bracket

Round two is here. 32 winners of the previous round. What album will come out on top?

NOTICE: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE UNLESS YOU'VE HEARD BOTH ALBUMS. STOP DOING THIS SHIT.

For this matchup, we start with:

(7) Jimmy Eat World - Futures

vs.

(39) Prince - Purple Rain

 

as @OhTheWater likes to point out, i actually ranked Futures ahead of Purple Rain, but im voting Purple Rain as payback for Nevermind

 

Good!

 

I love Purple Rain and I'm bummed I have to vote against it. But Futures changed my life and still sounds as perfect to me as it did on day 1. Sorry, @cshadows2887!

 

I feel like I voted on this one a little too quickly. Went with Purple Rain.

 

Futures is one of my life albums, too important.

 

It took me longer to get into Prince than I’d like to admit. I don’t love Futures as much as I did when it came out. Purple Rain was the easy choice for me

 

Obvs Prince

 

Prince forever and always.

 

Prince is good

 

Now it's my turn to be insane :)

 

Purple Rain. Other than Pinkerton, it’s been all the “classic” albums this batch.

 

Pretty surprised by the current results. Futures seems like one of the most highly regarded albums of all time on this site and Prince doesn’t get talked about a ton.

 

Purple Rain is one of the most highly regarded albums in…reality

 

I don't see as much talk about Rumours and look how that turned out.

 

Haha yes but this isn’t reality it’s chorus.fm baby!!!

 

Voted for Prince because its the better of the two imo but I have to say that I'd rather have this JEW album stick around than Bleed American

 

It’s Prince without blinking for me. No hate, Craig. I know Futures is one of your staples.

 

And Purple Rain is one of yours, can’t be mad that you’re voting for it.

 

Without a doubt Purple Rain.

 

I wonder if Purple Rain and Born to Run are the only two left that I put at #1 in their years.

 

OK Computer, In Rainbows, Ziggy, Pinkerton and Paranoid for me

 

I’ve got a few, but funnily enough, Futures, my third favorite album ever, is not one of them.

 

what won that year

 

Futures is my second favorite album of ‘04, after Butch Walker’s Letters, which is my second favorite album ever.
