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 8 - Round 7: Avant-Rock, Americana & Everything in Between
Shawn and Craig are back for Round 7 of the Vinyl 4 Podcast, where the musical contrasts are sharper than ever. This week’s 16-album bracket bridges wildly different sounds — from Brian Eno’s avant-rock experiments to Bonnie Raitt’s soulful Americana, from Nas’s hip-hop mastery to The Byrds’ folk-rock shimmer, with Jane’s Addiction and Love rounding out the chaos in style.
Avant-rock collides with Americana. Hip-hop meets psychedelia. Hard rock crosses paths with folk-rock — and somehow, it all works. Tune in for another round of unexpected upsets, musical passion, and the tough calls that define the Vinyl 4.
