#293 The Best Album of 1989, Round 1 Match #50: Violent Femmes vs. Queen Latifah

Best Album Brackets Logo #2.jpg

Hey folks!

First pic: A black and white photo of Violent Femmes, three white guys, just guys, no femmes. They're dressed mostly in black. One sits and holds something small in his hands, I can't tell what it is. The other two stand close to each other near the sitting one. They all look at the camera. They appear to be on a stage or perhaps a rehearsal studio.  Second pic: It's Queen Latifah! She's a tall, strong, proud sexy Black woman wearing a black uniform, slightly miltaristic in the Janet Jackson RHYTHM NATION way. The background is blank white.
