    The Beatles and Zeppelin song drafts were fun; I'm not sure how many other bands have both enough songs and enough Sports Bar fan support to make a go of it. The Rolling Stones? U2? REM? Maybe we need to come up with a mixed-artist song draft.
    We had a Pink Floyd draft, too.

      I sent him a PM, we'll get this a-rollin' soon.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        I don't really get the drafts, exactly, which is not a criticism at all - I think it's weird when people take a shot at something just because it isn't really for them. I just don't really translate non-sports stuff into ranking categories, I guess? Plus I don't really sign up for much stuff, or even join groups. I'm more at ease with just freewheelin' with comments sometimes, or not, and that's pretty much the extent of it. Even just have the one fantasy league.

        Enjoy the exercise, and I'll check it out!

          I constantly rank my favorite songs, groups, albums...songs and albums from specific groups, etc...

            So we have 7 participants, 15 songs each sound good?

              Are we going with just a "song", or can it be a particular recording of that song? Live albums? The official Bootleg Series? Universally-known unofficial bootlegs?

                I think for simplicity's sake we'll limit it to just songs, but I'm hoping folks will post clips of their favorite recordings of their selections. Then the critics can hopefully begin to realize what they've been missing

                    I am so afraid to open that.

                    So, when do we start, what order, etc.?

                      If someone wants to send me a random number sequence, 1-7, and I'll run one as well to determine the order, then we can get started Tuesday, or earlier if people are around to make their picks.

                          Alright, here is the order, 15 rounds, we'll say 8 hour clock on weekends, 4 hours during the week?

                          We'll start the clock on Tuesday but if everyone picks before then we can roll.

                            I'm going to take what would probably be the general consensus for 1.1, because it's just that awesome and I never get tired of it.

                              I'll keep the 1st post updated with song selections.

                                It would have been my number one, too.
