One great album is hard. Three in a row? That's rare.

On Episode 11 of Personal Records, Scott and Chris each pick three artists who delivered a killer three album run. Eighteen records, six artists, and a fairly direct route from the Christian bookstore to the mosh pit.

Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Petra, Huey Lewis and the News, Poison the Well, and Misery Signals all make an appearance. If you had that lineup on your bingo card, we have questions.

1977 was a massive year for music, but which albums still matter most to us?

Scott and Chris were both born in 1978, so this episode takes Personal Records back to the year before either of us arrived. We each count down our five favorite albums released in 1977, including records from Pink Floyd, Rush, Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Cheap Trick, Meat Loaf, Steve Miller Band, Jimmy Buffett, Foreigner and more.

Some choices overlap, others come completely out of left field, and neither list follows the usual critical consensus.

1996 was absolutely stacked. Weezer, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Korn, Rage Against the Machine, The Cure, and that barely scratches the surface.

Scott and Chris take turns drafting 20 albums from 1996, building rival ten-record collections one pick at a time. Who assembled the better team? Let us know the winner, the biggest steal and the most unforgivable omission.

Sixteen more debut albums enter Last Record Standing, and only one will earn a place in our ultimate Final Four.

This bracket brings together Linkin Park vs. Papa Roach, Wu-Tang Clan vs. Nas, Snoop Dogg vs. Dr. Dre, Boston vs. Blue Öyster Cult and plenty more. With nu-metal, hip-hop, indie rock, grunge and classic rock colliding, Scott and Chris are forced to make some genuinely painful decisions.

By the end, one album joins Weezer's Blue Album as the second record locked into the Final Four.

Scott and Chris each rank their five favorite concept albums, covering classic rock operas, progressive sci-fi, emo, metal and modern hip-hop. The conversation includes Pink Floyd, Rush, Coheed and Cambria, Kendrick Lamar, The Who, Armor for Sleep and more, plus honorable mentions and two very different album recommendations. What is the greatest concept album ever made? Let us know what belongs at number one. Personal Records with Scott and Chris, Episode 6 Follow us on Instagram: @personalrecordsshow

Chris and Scott take a trip back to the year 2000, when everyone thought that a computer glitch was going to take down humanity.

We put 16 legendary debut albums in a bracket to determine which one will be the Last Record Standing.

In the first volume of our new album tournament, Scott and Chris go matchup by matchup, debating these classic debuts:

The Cars vs. Van Halen
The Go-Go's vs. Duran Duran
Rage Against the Machine vs. Stone Temple Pilots
Nirvana vs. Pearl Jam
Oasis vs. Weezer
Silverchair vs. Foo Fighters
Arcade Fire vs. The Killers
Interpol vs. The Strokes

Some choices are easy. Others require eliminating albums we love. By the end, only one debut record remains.

Watch the tournament unfold, then tell us in the comments: What would your Final Four be, and which debut album would win your bracket?
