#315 The Best Album of 1989, Round 2 Match #68: Faith No More vs. “Weird Al” Yankovic

Hey folks!

First pic: A circular pie-tin shape, like the ring created when a drop water hits a surface, with crown-like protrusions around the edge of it. Inside the shape is a column of fire. Behind the image is a picture that suggests the cracked dry surface of a desert or even volcanic landscape, but also the branches of trees. What it actually is eludes me. Second pic: A picture of Weird Al from the shoulders up. He has a long narrow head, a brown mustache, and a big head of curly brown hair. He's wearing a Hawaiian shirt. His eyes are replaced with blue grey TV test patterns. He has a slight grin on his face. The sky behind him is red.
