    I guess I was the only one that "hid" my 1st round votes...so I will just post my 2nd rounders here:

    EAST
    1. No Depression - Uncle Tupelo vs. 9.Where'd You Hide the Body - James McMurtry
    5. Pizza Delivery - Drive By Truckers vs. 4. I Feel Alright - Steve Earle
    3. Strangers Almanac - Whiskeytown vs. 11. Letter to Laredo - Joe Ely

    14. Wrecking Ball - Emmylou Harris vs. 6. El Corazon - Steve Earle
    7. Bottle Rockets - Bottle Rockets vs. 2. AM - Wilco


    SOUTH
    1. Being There - Wilco vs. 9. Joshua Judges Rick Ruth - Lyle Lovett
    5. Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies vs. 4.Honky Tonk Union - Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers
    3.Too Far To Care - Old 97s vs. 6. Bottle Rockets - Brooklyn Side

    It's pretty obvious which bands I like...I'm a "front runner" I guess, especially with the older stuff since it's the only stuff I really got to hear.

    spike, I also went the PM route in the first round ... and I'll also vote here for round 2:

    EAST
    1. No Depression - Uncle Tupelo vs. 9.Where'd You Hide the Body - James McMurtry — I like McMurtry's stuff, but the first Tupelo album literally defined the genre.
    5. Pizza Delivery - Drive By Truckers vs. 4. I Feel Alright - Steve Earle
    3. Strangers Almanac - Whiskeytown vs. 11. Letter to Laredo - Joe Ely
    7. Down By the Old Mainstream - Golden Smog vs. 2. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams

    MIDWEST
    1. Trace - Son Volt vs. 8. Dog Days - Blue Mountain
    5. Blue Boulevard - Dave Alvin vs. 4. Gangstability - Drive By Truckers
    14. Wrecking Ball - Emmylou Harris vs. 6. El Corazon - Steve Earle
    7. Bottle Rockets - Bottle Rockets vs. 2. AM - Wilco — not my favorite by Wilco (although it has its moments). Props to the Bottle Rockets.


    SOUTH
    1. Being There - Wilco vs. 9. Joshua Judges Rick Ruth - Lyle Lovett — my favorite 1990s Wilco album
    5. Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies vs. 4.Honky Tonk Union - Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers
    3.Too Far To Care - Old 97s vs. 6. Bottle Rockets - Brooklyn Side
    10. Tomorrow the Green Grass - The Jayhawks vs. 2.Straightaways - Son Volt — Huge Jayhawks fan; this is my favorite among their albums.

    WEST
    1.Anodynne - Uncle Tupelo vs. 8. Train a Comin' - Steve Earle
    5. Lucinda Williams - Lucinda Williams vs. 4.Welcome to Struggleville - Vigilantes of Love
    3.Hollywood Town Hall - Jayhawks vs. 6. Pneumonia - Whiskeytown
    10. Fight Songs - Old 97s vs. 2.Summerteeth - Wilco — although it's hard to call Wilco "alt-country" by this point

    EAST
    1. No Depression - Uncle Tupelo vs. 9.Where'd You Hide the Body - James McMurtry
    5. Pizza Deliverance - Drive By Truckers vs. 4. I Feel Alright - Steve Earle -- Steve Earle never wrote anything as good as Uncle Frank
    3. Strangers Almanac - Whiskeytown vs. 11. Letter to Laredo - Joe Ely
    7. Down By the Old Mainstream - Golden Smog vs. 2. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams

    MIDWEST
    1. Trace - Son Volt vs. 8. Dog Days - Blue Mountain
    5. Blue Boulevard - Dave Alvin vs. 4. Gangstabilly - Drive By Truckers -- Dave Alvin never wrote anything as cool as Steve McQueen
    14. Wrecking Ball - Emmylou Harris vs. 6. El Corazon - Steve Earle
    7. Bottle Rockets - Bottle Rockets vs. 2. AM - Wilco


    SOUTH
    1. Being There - Wilco vs. 9. Joshua Judges Rick Ruth - Lyle Lovett -- Wilco at their zenith, IMO
    5. Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies vs. 4.Honky Tonk Union - Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers

    3.Too Far To Care - Old 97s vs. 6. Bottle Rockets - Brooklyn Side -- Aaarrrggghhhh! These are two of my favorite all-time albums. I suppose, at this moment in time, "Salome" is the tiebreaker
    10. Tomorrow the Green Grass - The Jayhawks vs. 2.Straightaways - Son Volt

    WEST
    1.Anodynne - Uncle Tupelo vs. 8. Train a Comin' - Steve Earle -- Was thinking about this the other day, and I know it will be heresy to some, but I think I like Anodyne better than Trace
    5. Lucinda Williams - Lucinda Williams vs. 4.Welcome to Struggleville - Vigilantes of Love
    3.Hollywood Town Hall - Jayhawks vs. 6. Pneumonia - Whiskeytown
    10. Fight Songs - Old 97s vs. 2.Summerteeth - Wilco

    I'll get it up over the weekend.
    Had a rough couple of days and just got PMs out to the three who voted first round and didn't vote this round (I was actually hoping to have more than 7 voters this time out, but my hopes were dashed).
    It also gives me time to go back and check out some discs incase I have to break a tie.
