    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.

    • Great pick Foot!

        Yay, that's something I haven't been hearing too much this draft. For a while there I was like, "Hello, is this thing on? (tap tap)..."

        I'm still mulling some cringe-worthy picks that I'm shy to pull the trigger on.

          Honestly, I've never heard of about 1/2 your picks (i.e., the names were a blank, maybe I'll recognize the songs).

          • I'd only heard American Standard from Mary's Danish and wasn't too impressed, but I like that song, might have to check out their earlier albums.

            • I heard this interesting factoid about Billy Idol a few days ago: he was offered the massive 1985 hit "Don't You (Forget About Me)" but declined (as did The Fixx and Bryan Ferry), and it was offered to Simple Minds -- who also initially turned it down-- instead.

                First time hearing that Tricky song but it reminded of another classic trip-hop album that I played quite a bit in college.

                • Woke up. Opened Sports Bar on the mobile. Saw DMT had picked. Opened Draft Thread to see the damage. Fuck, Spiritualized. "that Fucking guy again!". Looks more closely ... It was Foot not DMT. Bitch! Get some American friends whydontya?

                  Thought I was safe with Ladies and Gentlemen. Great record, amazing lead track and video. Great packaging ... It came in a pharmaceutical style cardboard case and the CD was in a foil covered plastic tray like a giant pill. Best packaging ever.

                  My late draft list is getting whittled down.

                  Edit ... Nice pick.

                      You may have probably heard the lead single of that record "Come Together" ... it was a big MTV hit because of the video.

                      • 1997 was a "decent" year ... NME's top 3 records:

                        1 Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space.
                        2. Radiohead - OK Computer
                        3. Verve - Urban Hymns.

                          • How many of you are thinking right now "I can't believe two Camper Van Beethoven albums have been picked, but not one by ***insert band name here***!"
                            "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."

                                Well if that *** band name *** was New Model Army, the thinker can rest assured that indeed they did have one album picked, and you just missed it is all.
