 Topic: 4th Round Classics: Yeti v. Rock Bottom

Rock Bottom is about rock bottom for me. Yeti doesn't really thrill me either, but it'll do here.

Oooh! Simon and Garfunkel started me on the music highway and I found Jackson C Frank through them. I love his album.  Just as beautiful as Rock Bottom!
Still haven't made it all the way through Yeti (of course I'd probably need 10 listens for the monster) so I'm not voting.

 give it the time it might need to grow on you. Frickin fabulous album. this was an interesting battle of two completely dissimilar albums... both incredible in their own ways. Hate to see either lose, even if one is in my top 20 albums of alltime and the other is not. Mainly because I generally perfer music that celebrates living life.. rather than music that makes me want to end it hahaha. get those last votes in... special mick points to anyone who sends this to a tiebreaker.. this one (among several) really deserve a tiebreaking vote off...

Yeti, Rock Bottom never quite caught me the same way it caught others.

Second half of Yeti is plain filler, so I went with Rock Bottom.

I like the title of this thread...can the Yeti escape his downward spiral of depression to oblivion? I think so...Yeti gets my vote.

Santa made a fantastic record. Still have to learn to appreciate mr. Snowman.

Rock Bottom is a lifechanger but they are both favorites of mine so I don't mind Yeti winning.
