Yeah, Clarkson was a bit of a challenge and his choices were pretty lame and predictable. Stephen Street's choices seemed pretty safe but difficult to argue with.

Can wait to see which genre they tackle next.

Yeah, it was an interesting discussion, and their respective and collective enthusiasm when discussing the album format, and what it meant to them to get home and put on a new record, was genuinely refreshing. I await the next installment eagerly.
