Was in Vegas this past weekend, and found out De La Soul were doing a free concert Friday night, so was very happy to see a number of 3 Ft. High cuts (and other classics) live. That said, Paul’s Boutique is my favorite album ever. But my bracket depends on De La winning, so, uh, vote your conscience

Unless I’m misremembering the inclusion of more albums, so far we’ve only polled three (Jagged Little Pill, Be Here Now, Come On Over) of the top selling UK albums by year, and only one made it past Round 1.
