We're coming down to the end now. Two matches, the winners will meet up in the finals. The losers will meet up in a 3rd place battle. A week from now, we will know what the best album of 1974 is.
No introduction needed. You know these albums by now...

Would love to see a Veedon Fleece vs. Rock Bottom final, although I imagine Neil Young will win this one pretty comfortably. I have no intention of putting down On the Beach, it's a fantastic record, easily top five in Young's catalogue, but it just can't hold a candle to what is, in my opinion, Van's best record. I wrote some pretentious shit about it in the last matchup, so if you actually care what I think you can go check it out there. But yeah, Veedon Fleece for me, easily.

The guy who wrote 'Brown Eyed Girl' and Neil Young. I can' think of many Neil Young albums I have liked. Even if Brown Eyed Girl is not on Veedon Fleece I'm going to have to vote the Van anyway because hey, the song is great!

I must have been using the same coin. this is like picking what's better between a fine wine and top shelf bourbon.

On the Beach.
If the entirety of Veedon Fleece had been composed of songs like Fair Play, Streets of Arklow, and especially You don't Pull No Punches, hot damn if I wouldn't have voted for Van here. And, I'm a HUGE Neil Young fanboy. But, Side 2 just doesn't have the same emotional wallop as side 1 to me. From the new agey Country Fair to the white boy soul of Comfort You, and especially the over-the-top vocal acrobatics of Cul De Sac, side 2 just doesn't destroy me like side 1 does. Granted that's a huge request. Side 1's a beast.
