    Looking into this, you realize how staggeringly mediocre most album art is. My bad album art list is seemingly endless.

      I have two others in frames that will be going up on my wall that will likely be picked shortly, but I just couldn't resist. I'll be curious if there's any push back from other drafters.
      It was on my short list. I did not think I would have to worry about it for a few rounds.

        How do you post pics? Do I need to use a Flickr account or something to store them in?

          Find the image you want to google images: google search, click images tab.

          Click desired image to maximize it.

          Right-click image and select "open in new tab". You are looking for a page that has the image alone, nothing else.

          If it opens a new webpage keep right-clicking on the image until you find the source page. You may have to do this a whole bunch of times. Sometimes it gets blocked, so don't think you are doing something wrong if it doesn't work. Just go back to google, and find another image.

          The image source page will have the image and ONLY the image, and a URL that ends in jpg or png (for example https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...albumcover.jpg)

          Copy the URL (will usually end in jpg or png)

          ------

          Back to rotojunkie:

          Click the "insert image" icon along the top of the Rotojunkie dialogue box (hover over the icons above until you see "insert image")

          When the pop up appears click "From URL"

          UNCHECK THE "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" box

          Paste the URL into the space.

          Click Ok

          If everything is good, you will see the image appear in the dialogue box. Try copy pasting the above link above to see it working.

            yeah, this was my thinking too (earlier today when trying to come up with some candidates)
            It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

              I think all my wildcards will be bad album art

                1.02 - Nevermind, Nirvana (Iconic) - Welp, unsurprisingly, Sheep takes my first hopeful pick....

                Wildcards will be really fun. I'd planned to go there with unknown or near-unknown LPs with great art, but the bad LP art is sure tempting, too.

                But at least I got my second choice...

                  It only took 6 picks to take my intended #1.

                  Great album cover great songs.

                    My intended #1 also.

                      If I hadn't chosen the White Album I would've taken either DSOTM or Nevermind. Both will be on my wall.

                      I bought my daughter a t-shirt of DSOTM with Rainbow Dash (my little pony) attached to the end of the rainbow.
                      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.

                          1 pick today ... dang. I somehow feel this must be Feral Slasher's fault.

                              Oh, wait, I'm the one from Canada in this draft.
