    Order of names:

    Johnny
    ElDiablo
    Revo
    Erik
    DMT
    Swampdragon
    Mith
    Sheep
    Lucky
    Thegaffer

    Order of numbers:

    8
    2
    5
    3
    1
    9
    10
    4
    6
    7

    Matching the first name with the first number, etc., we get a draft order of:

    DMT
    ElDiablo
    Erik
    Sheep
    Revo
    Lucky
    TheGaffer
    Johnny
    Swampdragon
    Mith

    I'll create the draft thread. We'll officially start tomorrow but DMT can post his pick whenever he's ready once the draft thread is created. Clock will be four hours on weekdays and six hours on weekends (with leniency in the first round) from 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern time.

    Non-Beatles songs performed by John, Paul, George or Ringo are eligible to be picked, but not until the fourth round.

    We will do 15 rounds -- with the option for more if there is enough interest.

        Better than last! At least first you definitely get the song you want.

          Look on the bright side, Mith, you'll have the first crack at a non-Beatles song. "My Love" is all yours!

            A small ray of sunshine as I much prefer Beatles to non-Beatles songs. For the entire draft there is probably only a few non-Beatle songs I would even consider.

              Question - are their combined songs considered one song? How was this handled the last time?

                There were separate picks.
                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.

                  Thanks....I think it made it to the 4th or 5th pick last time.

                    The coda to Hey Jude is either great or too damn long, depending on my mood of the day

                      Erik will pick one of two songs here. I will take the other.

                      ETA: Or maybe he won't. Crap, now I actually have a decision to make.

                      "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
                      "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

                        So is this accurate? Each of the trilogy songs are separate? Can Erik confirm before I pick?

                          If that's the way it was done before, then that's the way we'll do it.

                            I dunno -- that draft's been lost to history on the old site. I can't imagine a few of those songs getting drafted as singles.

                              Yep, that's how we did it before.

                                No worries, pick up. But had it been considered one selection, one of them would've been my pick!!!
