It’s March! There’s madness! Around these parts, March brings the usual—an NCAA Tournament! NCAA, this year, stands for the Nixon Competition of Album Artwork. Listen along and follow along as the boys run through the best album covers of the era we cover, eventually counting down to what they believe to be the best album artwork of the time.


Want to play at home? This is our first-ever video podcast, so you should be able to follow along on your device, seeing each album cover matchup as we do, in real time. Fill out your own bracket and compare it against ours. Sound off in the comments on Substack: Who do you think will emerge victorious as the 2026 winner of the Nixon Contest of Album Artwork?!


Additional food for thought: What made the 70s and 80s special when it comes to album art? Did this, too, peak during the late 70s and early 80s like music itself? Let us know know your thoughts!
