*** Post-1979 Album Draft - Commentary Thread ***

[johnnya24]

who ARE you?

When was the last time I argued with anyone?

Here's some cute kittens in cups:

[Fresno Bob]

I like the Violent Femmes pick. Had them on my long list, but wouldn't have picked them so high. With many drafters preferencing the 80's, I didn't realistically think they'd be an option. I have lots of picks like that.

The Femmes were going to be my pick, ok, have to shift gears.

I was hoping that Remain in Light would make it back - Now I can hope that my next pick doesn't get snagged by FB too

[johnnya24]

Was hoping you'd make my next decision easier

[swampdragon]

Johnny - you got 2 and then back to FB

[johnnya24]

I have 1, then Mith has 1, then I got another

[johnnya24]

Not doing a separate double blind for 1 player.

I used Random.org to generate Mith's position after the first round ... gave me the 4 slot.

Mith has to make 1 pick at the end of round 1. He will then will draft from the 4 slot for the remainder of the draft. I will update the draft order at the end of the round to avoid confusion.

Bump.

I think Mith was around when made this ruling - I hope Mith 2.0 is around - the mob will get pitchforks and torches pretty soon

Yay MITH 2.0 - douse those torches and go back to farming

It's not his pick.

I thought sheep was going to take The Bends at 1.07, pretty surprised it made it to 15. Remain In Light was in the top tier for my next pick.

[swampdragon]

Remain in Light was definitely a first round pick

[Fresno Bob]

I'm going to have to watch a ton of albums go by after my next pick.....pretty scary

[johnnya24]

I know there are a ton of hardcore Husker Du fans in the draft, but a Bob Mould solo record at 1.16 seems like a terrible waste of a 1st rounder. Surely there is a great chance that record (which I have never heard off incidentally) makes it back at 2.13 ... and may fall much farther.

Interesting draft strategy

You are probably correct Johnny, but I picked it because it might well be my favorite album from the 80's and 90's. I doubt if anyone else would even pick it and i am pretty confident that most of the albums i pick will not be picked by the rest of the drafters so it won't really matter which round i pick my albums.

I am picking in order of my favorite albums of these two decades, not basing my picks on what i think you guys might take.

And besides it's THE one album i had to have!

That's fair enough ... there isn't a single record that you want from these 2 decades that no-one else would want?

That'll be an interesting list ... you do know it's one record per artist per person?
