7 5-4 over Computer Blue
Little Red Corvette 7-2 over Anotherloverholenyohead
Forever In My Life 6-3 over If I Was Your Girlfriend
She's Always In My Hair 7-2 over Head (maybe it's just me, but those titles just go together somehow razz )
Automatic 5-4 over Girls and Boys
The Beautiful Ones 8-1 over Let's Work
When Doves Cry 5-4 over Anna Stesia

Four 5-4 games, very nice round.

Album-by-album:

Dirty Mind 5-4
Controversy 4-4
1999 7-1
Purple Rain 10-2
Around the World in a Day 2-3

Come 1-3
The Gold Experience 0-1
Chaos and Disorder 0-1

The Vault 0-1
Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic 0-1
The Rainbow Children 0-2
Musicology 1-1
3121 2-4
Planet Earth 0-3

Purple Rain and Parade finally absorbed their first losses, but both are still strongly represented.

Now, the Elite 8 pairings:

Mountains
v.
7

Little Red Corvette
v.
Forever In My Life

She's Always In My Hair
v.
Automatic

The Beautiful Ones
v.
When Doves Cry

Two left from Purple Rain, two from 1999. We're guaranteed one gone for the Final Four, but will the early '80s continue their dominance? Only you lot know for sure. VOTE!!

Just to let you know, jody, your vote got tossed out because Purple Rain isn't still in this. Final 4 is set, results coming shortly.
