#RadioToTheDeath Matchup #4
Winner: Fun House
7-4
———
Honestly didn’t love Fun House. But the title track of Some Girls was one of the more racist, sexist, miserable piece of garbage songs I’ve ever heard. No thanks. I’ll give Fun House another try.

Incidentally, the bracket has it going up against the Stones again next round. So we’ll see how the rematch goes when we get there… in like a year, probably.

Back to Black was a jam, front to back. Hadn’t listened to SZA before. Ctrl was a really fun, sexy, unique album.

This really was a great matchup. If I had arranged this bracket by hand instead of by ranking, I probably would’ve tried to make this exact matchup happen, but probably later in the Jazz/R&B/Soul bracket because I’d love to hear more of both.

A great matchup. I was not that familiar with most tracks on both, so I was fully expecting this to be basically a contest between Hurt and Seven Nation Army. Very much not the case. Both albums were very well fleshed out. Tough call.

Sweet Baby James is a great example of exactly why I do this. It is no secret that Country is one of my least favorite genres. Based on that alone, I would likely never have listened to this one. Super chill, had a great time packing up a bit while listening to it.
