I may edit in votes for other songs later, but for now I will only vote on the ones for which I know both songs well enough to compare (still desperately trying to put together a song list for the all-time poll).

Other matchups I will vote when I have time to remind myself which songs those are.
Note on the last matchup, that is the only matchup where both songs are on the short list of songs I sing to myself in the car. Thank you for not picking Book of Love, Papa Was A Rodeo, Acoustic Guitar or All My Little Words and forcing me to vote against my own pick.

Re: AM Albums World Cup - Round 1
Okay so some of these match-ups were absurdly hard. Gonna be interested to see what songs go together in the Idler Wheel-Body Talk mash up.
Anyway, I've bolded my votes.

Re: AM Albums World Cup - Round 1
Similar to Nassim and DaveC, I put an * next to any albums where I'm voting against the album I prefer. This week, there was only one, since I prefer "Abbey Road" to "Illinois" overall. (Although, I noticed in my spreadsheet that I gave "Crown of Love" an 8 and "Take Me With U" a 7, even though I know I like the latter more. I changed "Take Me With U" to an 8, which also boosted "Purple Rain" to a slight advantage over "Funeral," or else it would've been the second asterisk.)

Re: AM Albums World Cup - Round 1
Parallel Lines (Picture This)
Automatic for the People (FInd the River)
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (Can It All Be So Simple)
The Idler Wheel... (Valentine)
Purple Rain (Take Me With U)
Dookie (In the End) [this was a close match]
Illinois (They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!)
Bridge Over Troubled Water (Baby Driver)
Songs in the Key of Life (All Day Sucker)
OK Computer (Exit Music (For a Film))
Dummy (Strangers)
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (Fight Test)
I really appreciate getting 69 Love Songs in this mix. Looking forward to the other picks. (hopefully they're not all the sappy kind...)
Even though I'm not picking albums, so far it still ends up being heavily in favor of the albums I like more.

Yes, I voted against my own nomination... twice! And in the Eno vs. Apple matchup, it lost against a song I had never heard before! I really don't care for "Becalmed" and all, and there are other tracks an the album I'd have preferred to include, but the track ratings on RYM and BEA didn't give me a choice...
