Vinyl Four Podcast
The Vinyl 4 Podcast, brought to you by Signal Syndicate Productions, puts a tournament spin on the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time. Each week, Shawn and Craig face off with 16 randomly selected records, whittling them down through head-to-head matchups until only the ultimate “Vinyl 4” remains. Equal parts music nerdery and bracket madness, it’s a fresh take on discovering classics, debating favorites, and having fun with the albums that shaped music history.

S1 - Ep 3 - Round 3: From The Ramones to Radiohead in the Race for the Vinyl Four
Shawn and Craig are back for Round 3 of the Vinyl Four Podcast! Another set of 16 random numbers from Rolling Stone’s Top 500 albums sets the stage for fresh matchups and tough decisions, as the bracket narrows toward the next four finalists.
This week’s musical spread is all over the map — from punk pioneers The Ramones to the soulful brilliance of Lauryn Hill, from timeless Christmas classics to indie-rock gems, and from Randy Newman’s wit to Radiohead’s innovation.
As always, each host wraps things up by nominating two albums they feel were unjustly left off the Top 500 — deep cuts, overlooked gems, or personal favorites that deserve recognition.
