May Madness . . . in July

Texting S4E6 [Part 2]: The Textually Deviant Pazz & Jop Tournament [Elite 8 to Champion of the World]

What mighty contests rise from trivial things . . .

Alexander Pope

As promised yesterday, I’m back today with the exciting conclusion to Texting’s Pazz & Jop Tournament, Part 1 of which was recorded in April and Part 2 of which was recorded in May (hence the titles of the two posts). For the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, we thankfully did not resort to a coin flip in the event of a 2-2 tie (as we did in Part 1) but rather employed a percentage-based voting system. That doesn’t necessarily mean we arrived at the correct decision in every instance, though, does it? Press play above to hear Tomek, Craig, Hania, and myself make the case for the greatest musical artists of all time—and feel free to excoriate us for our choices!
