#235 The Best Album of 1989, Round 1 Match #2: Mötley Crüe vs. Beat Happening

Best Album Brackets Logo #2.jpg

Hey folks!

First pic: A green tile background, suggesting a hospital or perhaps bathroom. Some of the tiles are chipped. In front of this is a combination of caduceus and Rod of Asclepius, with one snake, one stick, and two wings. However, instead of an anodyne snake and stick, the snake is green and threatening, the wings are black bat wings, and the stick is a sword with a red-eyed skull on the hilt.  Second pic: A blackboard. In chalk, "Black Candy" is written on the top and "beat happening" on the bottom. In the middle is a loose sketch of a square piece of candy in a wrapper. It has a sprial shape in the middle of it.
