In our very first overtime episode, Music Madness Color Commentator, Leah, walks through some of the more unsavory and perhaps untrue rumors about our final 4 contenders. Next week, we’ll reveal the results of the final vote.

Time for the Final 4! There are some epic artists left and I can’t believe some of the names that go home this week.
This week, we’re talking about what happened to their music after they died. Did they put out more music? Who owned their rights? It’s fascinating to see what happens to music when its owner and creator dies suddenly.

Last week we revealed the results of the health-related play-ins, and this week we revealed the results of the play-ins for the Freak Accidents bracket. Kent breaks down the matchups in our third play-ins for the Overdose and Drug related bracket. This is an intense topic, but the list of artists is pretty crazy.

On to the Elite 8! There were some massive albums eliminated this week and there will only be big albums going home from here on out. This week, we’re going to explore what albums our final 16 had to beat in order to win their Grammy Album of the Year award. There are a lot of names I’d never heard of but some of our finalist had massive competition even in the year they were nominated; incluing some of the biggest albums of all. If those albums would have come out pretty much any other year, they’d have been part of our bracket. Welcome to the Madness!

The Grammy Theme – Episode 1
And here we go! For our first theme, we will dive into albums that have won Album of the Year from the Gramophone Awards, AKA The Grammy’s. The Grammy’s first gave out the Album of the Year award in 1959, which gives us 65 years’ worth of winners to debate. This is a diverse set of artists from country, rock, pop, folk, jazz, and even comedy to discuss and pick winners. I’m really excited to see how this plays out.
I believe the best way to listen to this would be in chunks. Listen to the first region, and then listen to some of the songs from the albums. Then dive into the next region. Because I don’t have the rights to these songs, I don’t play any of them during the podcast, but I have included a Spotify playlist that includes all the songs I mention in the pod. Use the link below for the playlist.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2SaS8OSez1v86GyLVkslIK?si=5bd32c5df51c4c22
Below are the time stamps for the different regions
Modern region – 5:30
Ladies’ region – 17:35
Soundtrack region – 28:59
Grab bag region – 41:00
Second, voting! I will leave this poll open for one week, 1 ET on May 4th. That means you have time to think about your vote. It also leaves you time to share this with your friends! The more voters we have, the better. Use the link below to vote. I’ll try to get the next pod up before next weekend.
