2. Tapestry
1. Pieces of a Man
In any other year, votes would go to Funkadelic, Harry Nilsson, Nick Drake, Led Zep and Marvin Gaye. Can't believe those last two in particular get no votes. Petition for 6 monthly brackets from now on

2. Silk Degrees
1. The Royal Scam
Steely Dan's perhaps weakest album still getting among the votes might tell you how my 70s votes are largely going to go. Apols to ACDC, Queen, Stones, Bowie, Herbert and Warren Z

2. Elephant
1. Since I Left You
Some good Australian albums missing out here, especially Silverchair, SFK, JBT and YAI. Amy Winehouse and QOTSA also were in the mix, but hard to go past Damon's virtual band, Jack and Meg's real marriage, and whatever the Avalanches did to make music
