Rules:
Female artist and album draft
1. Female only draft. Female artists, or female dominated acts.
2. Once someone is picked they are off the table. A singer in a band, and her solo output will be considered the same thing. I guess we can be a little bit pragmatic with this rule, and deal with it at the time. Let's please avoid dick moves here, like deliberately picking a band to KO more than one artist (or visa versa) ... although some instances will be unavoidable.
3. 10 picks each. 1 pick per decade from the 1950's onwards (50&60,70,80,90,00,10) ... 50's and 60's rolled into one category. also 4 Wildcard picks from any decade.
4. Decade eligibility is determined by an accompanying Album pick.
5. The album must be an official release by the named artist / act. No live or compilations are valid.
6. We will use the USA first release dates on Discogs to determine the decade.
I guess the game is to try and get strong matchups. For instance, Dylan and Highway 61 would be an epic pick at a super deep decade. Dylan and Together Through Life would be pretty lame by comparison. So the trick is to try and match your favorite artists with your favorite records, and not cheat with dodgy early or late career albums in order to pigeonhole an artist into a "weak" decade.
