  • The Boss, REM, and Prince are the only ones I could see getting to 5.
    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.

      Oh heck, I'll just do a breakdown.

      2 songs that were definitely previously released
      2 songs that were released on the artist's album around the same time that they appeared on the soundtrack
      1 cover that never appeared anywhere else
      8 originals that never appeared anywhere else (except maybe a subsequent greatest hits album by the artist)
      I'm sure you'd get that by without opposition. I'm kind of intrigued.

      • The Boss wasn't exactly prolific after Born in the USA. I bet REM is the band Johnny was thinking of.

          REM will definitely get 5 IMO, probably 6+. The Boss could come close. Not sure about Prince with this crowd.

          There will be lot's of 4's ... so there could be a few more 5's that people might think.

I suspect much of this line of questioning is an attempt to tease out whether that soundtrack is eligible.

                There can be only one.
                Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                • I get the sense that odd-numbered rounds are going to be a royal pain for me, as DMT and sheep tend to have close "similarity scores" to me and they both pick right before me. I'd also worry about Lucky if this covered the '70s, but I think our '80s and '90s tastes are different enough.

                                That was one of the two I hinted at that I thought would make it but I wouldn't be taking.
