Friends,
We are now down to the Finals.
Both semifinal matchups were incredibly close—so close, in fact, that each ended in a 50–50 tie. That meant the tiebreakers came down to me.
In overtime, #7 Hotel California defeats #2 Dark Side of the Moon.
And in the other semifinal, #2 Abbey Road pulls off the upset over #3 Led Zeppelin IV—and I’ll admit, friends, that’s not how I would have voted.
So here we are…
🏆 Championship Matchup
Abbey Road vs. Hotel California
From the pivotal musical year of 1968, The Beatles delivered Abbey Road, widely considered their most polished and complete album.
Nearly a decade later, Eagles released Hotel California, a defining record of its generation—featuring five singles, including two #1 hits, and an album many of us (myself included) bought more than once.
We’ve seen incredible runs from Dark Side of the Moon and Led Zeppelin IV, both iconic in their own right—but now it all comes down to this.
Voting closes Monday at 5:00 PM.
I’ll announce the winner shortly thereafter.
