The 1987 Album Draft

Scott and Chris go back to 1987 for a full album draft. We started with a pool of 50 records released that year, then took turns selecting 10 albums apiece to build the strongest possible team. There are huge albums, questionable reaches, a few steals, and at least one pick that probably should have caused a brief suspension of the podcast. Watch the draft, check out both final teams, and let us know who won: Team Scott or Team Chris? The full pool of 50 eligible albums is listed below.
