On the "bright" side, I can think of two albums that are shoo-ins for the first round that I have no interest in at all.

Man, I'm really curious to know what you guys are so excited to pick beyond the 15th round. I just threw 300-or-so of the top-rated and top-selling 70's albums into a spreadsheet, and it's disheartening how many of them...
A) I've never heard.
B) I've never even heard of.
C) I've heard, and think are "meh."
D) I've heard, and only liked a few songs.
I guess not liking 70's folk, 70's punk, 70's metal, 70's corporate rock, 70's redneck rock, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, or Billy Joel reduces the universe of pick-able albums considerably. LOL
On the other hand, I've been YouTube-ing a bunch of the ones I know by reputation, but haven't actually heard before, and I've already found some really good stuff I'm planning to buy. So hopefully this will be a good education."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."

Originally posted by ManCalledFoot View PostJust in my stupid prog-rock niche I can go at least 50 deep. Then there's punk/new wave, glam-rock, metal, southern rock, soul, just plain ol' classic rock and pop... and I might even pick a disco record or two as well.I'm just here for the baseball.

Position scarcity can change substantially depending on how many are drafting. I think I counted 12 confirmed.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.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostYeah, I figured you'd have a pile of prog-rock choices. I'm not as hardcore as you in prog-rock, but I can go about 20 deep, easy.
Mith will dabble in the prog, I think Erik, Sheep and FB will too, not sure about DMT. It's clear Pogues will be all punk, I think Friarfan too; Lucky has a smorgasbord of Southern and roots rock, Revo will be a kid in a candy store with the golden age of FM rock, and I'm interested to see where ElD goes to off the punk/metal/thrash thing. I do know what his #1 pick is, without a doubt. Who am I missing... Swampy and Johnny, don't know where the hell they're going.One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

Originally posted by ManCalledFoot View PostLong time no see Chance, good to have some competition! It isn't much fun when you have genres to yourself in these drafts... in the last one there was only one time when I felt I was robbed (Elvis Costello's 'Get Happy'), I got every single album I wanted otherwise.
I'm gonna be really interested to see what your first prog rock pick is, assuming you get a shot at whatever your favorite is.I'm just here for the baseball.
