[Erik]

The name order was:

Overkill
Stephen
Sheep
Erik
Long John
Johnny
Heyelander

Pairing those with Heyelander's numbers, we get a draft order of:

Long John
Heyelander
Overkill
Sheep
Johnny
Stephen
Erik

I'll create the draft thread and then Long John can pick when he wants.

We'll do 10 rounds and have a clock of 6 hours, 10 AM to 10 PM Eastern US time. But no clock for the first round.

[Stephen]

Ugh, another late, around the turn slot. I was hoping to pick earlier in this one.

[Erik]

Whereas I don't mind the far turn, as there are about 10 songs I'd be happy to have in the first round.

[Stephen]

There are about 10 songs I'd be happy with too, but there is one that I truly want.

[Erik]

There is one that is distinctly #1 for me and I know I won't get it, but the alternatives I like almost as much.

[Stephen]

I wonder if we're talking about the same one or is it not the same?

Oh well, I figure at pick #6 it's probably just too late.

[swampdragon]

One???

[Erik]

I wonder if we're talking about the same one or is it not the same?

The genius of it is, maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

Hint: Mine is not the one I took in the Classic Rock Draft, though that one is one I'd consider if it fell to 7.

[Long John]

I made my first selection with pride. Pun intended.

[Erik]

There is one that is distinctly #1 for me and I know I won't get it, but the alternatives I like almost as much.

Still there.

[Stephen]

Mine too.

[overkill94]

Was debating between two songs, but "Where the Streets Have No Name" was the more obvious choice IMO. There's a slight chance my other pick will make it back to me.

First two picks were solid although not ones I had considered for my first pick.

[heyelander]

I would have taken Bad if One weren't there. I love Where the Streets Have no Names live. The whole crowd looks like it's pulsing.

[overkill94]

"Bad" is one of those songs that didn't play on classic rock radio when I was growing up, but I started hearing it when I came to LA and had no idea what it's name was. Great song.

Hard to argue with "With or Without You" - it's just a perfectly made pop song.
