S5.E19: The Road to the Vinyl Four
from Out of the Main · host Tom Nixon and John Nixon
Tom and John kick off a multi-episode tournament that will conclude in March 2025: The Vinyl Four! We have created a bracket of 64 albums that represent, in our view, the most influential albums, not of ALL time, but of OUR time: essentially 1975 to 1985, sticking mostly within AOR pop rock. Throughout this season and the beginning of next, we’ll invite guest judges on to help us arrive at the biggest album of the era, as selected by lovers of music from the 70s and 80s. Who will emerge as The Vinyl Four? Follow the vinyl-brick road to find out!
