    Hmmm, I wonder if we should have a "Best A Side of an Album" draft?

    1.1 The Joshua Tree, U2

      Back in the days when I was experimenting with LSD a lot, The Joshua Tree and Rattle And Hum were in heavy rotation on my acid playlist. Anyone who's experimented with acid understands what happens with music while you're tripping, and how certain songs can become seared into your psyche forever. Bad and Bullet The Blue Sky are two such songs for me - they are imprinted on my soul like cosmic tattoos. If I had had the 1.01 and 1.02 picks in this draft, those are the two songs I would have taken, so now I can be happy no matter what I do or don't get going forward.

      There is one of their lesser songs that I really want, but I'm pretty sure I can get it in the second half.
      "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
      "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."

        Damn, this draft is flying. At this rate we'll be done in mere days.
        Good!

        All of my favorite U2 songs have already been picked so I'm glad I sat this one out. My top 5: Sunday Bloody Sunday, One, With or Without You, New Year's Day, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.
        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.

                Lets us know which one it is when it's picked. It's always interesting to see which non-famous songs people get really passionate about.

                  I'll take it in Round 5. You all have until then to figure out what it is and steal it from me.

                  I've put it into every poker night playlist since I started hosting my monthly home poker game 20 years ago, so it's become a running joke - "When will we hear [that U2 song]?" When it hits, I'll usually do a shot, just to amuse the crowd.

                            Best spontaneous draft for which most people didn't follow instructions:

                            1.01 Best A Side of an album, DMT

                              You need to try a Vintage Draft if you like irrelevant, spontaneous (see meaningless) drafts
