PLEASE REMEMBER: This tournament (and by extension the voting within) is based purely on the albums and singles presented by each team within each match.

"I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love. I don't know how someone controlled you, they bought and sold you."
The White Album
" It’s a rare album that can somehow balance a time-switching, primal mindbender like 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun’ with the pastoral acoustic folk of 'Blackbird’ but it all seems to make sense." - The Daily Telegraph

FUN FACT: Cult leader Charles Manson persuaded members of his "family" that the album was an apocalyptic message predicting a prolonged race war and justified the murder of wealthy people.
"Memories: Our Mark's squalid student house in Sheffield. I was only 'officially' allowed to go and stay the once as my mum was worried that his flat mates might pollute my mind Scratch seemed to have this blasting out of his room every time I went over. I finally went into his room and asked what it was. " - Magenta

"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."
At Folsom Prison
"Having courted his own prison sentences-- both literally and metaphorically-- Cash knew how little separated the free and the condemned, so he turned his angst into raucous country music" - Pitchfork

FUN FACT: Cash first took interest in Folsom State Prison while serving in the U.S. Air Force Security Service. In 1953, his unit watched Crane Wilbur's film Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison.
"He sings like a fantastic man!" - An_Outlaw

And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke.
A Saucerful Of Secrets
"But as the chaos settles reassuringly into a banal organ-cum-religious chorus final, one realizes that the Pink Floyd are firmly anchored in the diatonic world with any deviations from that norm a matter of effect rather than musical conviction. Unfortunately a music of effects is a weak base for a rock group to rest its reputation on — but this is what the Pink Floyd have done." - Rolling Stone (1968)

FUN FACT: The only studio album of which all 5 members of Pink Floyd appear.
"A great album and I think it's quite underrated among the Floyd fans. It's dreamier, more obscure and experimental than the Piper, but it has a special atmosphere on the whole album." - TracyJacks

I suppose I should be flattered that someone actually reads the comments on my charts... Even if (as with this one) they are utterly meaningless if you aren't me!!
FUN FACT: Jhereko said I would get to pick one album in this team, but apparently that wasn't true...
From a tactical point of view it was probably better, though. Make that definetily better.
It will still be used, grumpy pants. The teams haven't been exactly as I messaged them to you as I sometimes re-arrange them just before posting based on my gut feeling about the match. Don't worry, your album that no one has ever heard of will be in one of the next matches
