Rock Album Survivor - SCD Edition

[Psy-Fi]

I'm familiar with most of the albums in the Wild Card Battle, so there's only a couple I need to listen to before voting.

[GD]

David Bowie is eliminated, leaving us with two final albums. Time to settle this

Final Round

6. Yes - Close to the Edge
7. The Cure - Disintegration

Vote 1 off by September 20.

2. Whatever Brains - __LP
