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 11 - Round 9: A Mashup of Outkast, The Dead, Sinatra, Sabbath & The Clash
Shawn and Craig dive into Round 9 of the Vinyl 4 Podcast, taking on another wildly eclectic set of 16 albums pulled from Rolling Stone’s Top 500. This week spans blues legends, rock icons, hip-hop pioneers, and avant-pop innovators — all battling for just four coveted finalist spots.
The lineup includes John Mayall with Eric Clapton, Grateful Dead, The Clash, Derek and the Dominos, Al Green, Buddy Holly, Run-DMC, Black Sabbath, Madonna, Frank Sinatra, Tom Waits, Outkast, Hole, The Magnetic Fields, Eurythmics, and more.
It’s blues vs. metal, punk vs. soul, hip-hop vs. classic pop, and everything in between. The fellas keep the discussion moving briskly this week, narrowing the field down to 4 — and skipping their usual “should’ve made the list” picks to keep the pace tight.
