Standings as in where they finished in the tournament? I'd be happy to and I'll have it done by tomorrow. _________________ "Its so easy to laugh, its so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind"

Thanks a lot for posting those standings 111th Beatle.
Of those 60 or so albums I've only heard 21 of them, but the average rating of those is 8.4/10, a great rating.
The top 8 albums are a darn good collection.
There were some wonderful albums that didn't make it far, most notably: London Calling, Sgt Pepper, Wish You Were Here, and Led Zeppelin IV. Are there any albums that didn't make it past the 2nd round that you or anyone would recommend?
