Good morning y'all and welcome to the draw for the 1989 #AlbumBowl
a reminder of the guidelines I use for these: this is a two-stage event, with a group stage and a knockout stage; no live albums, no compilations (sorry, Minor Threat), one album per group, entirely at my discretion; ties will be broken up by whoever is in the higher pod for the draw
[lottery ball machine noises go here]
one row, one group; the action starts tomorrow!

@derek I thought this was going to be the "They definitely shared a bill" matchup - close, but not quite!

@derek My gut says yes but both groups have taken a number of hiatuses, so I'm not 100% on it. I'll wait until the matchup to find out for real
@firewally also is De La and the Beasties both win, they 100% shared a bill, right?
