Rock Bottom for me. I do love Yeti, though not as much as Wolf City, but Rock Bottom is one of those really rare albums where the melancholy's there and sets into your bones and then the whole beauty of the thing lifts you out of it. Sort of like Jackson C Frank. Emotionally, Yeti doesn't hold a candle to it.

Oooh! Simon and Garfunkel started me on the music highway and I found Jackson C Frank through them.  I love his album.  Embarrassed  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.

Clap  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...

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