*** 1970's Album Draft - Commentary Thread ***

[Pogues]

I bet it was this one:

His response to hearing it: "Eh. It was a lot of music and a lot of singing. I get the point."

I always thought Rush's music was pretty good. My big problem with Rush is Geddy Lee's voice. Music in this song...good. Singing...meh.

[revo]

I'm pretty sure Heye said he was out of this one. And if we start New Year's Day, pray I'm not near the top of the order...I work all day and probably won't have computer access...nor a clue who I'd want to take first.

I did listen to an album I've never listened to before, with my son. The first song, not even half way through, we were both like...WOW! I hope I have more moments like that this draft.

I bet it was this one:

[Erik]

Erik's mate should only be allowed to participate if he signs up under the name Erik's Mate.

He signed up as TheGaffer.

You can call him whatever you want, though.

[johnnya24]

Start from New Years day

15+10 format (15 regular rounds, and 10 additional rounds for those who want to go deeper)

1 official live record can be selected from round 8 onwards (so the draft order is reversed for the first eligible live pick)

Same rules for late comers: they pick last in the current round, and then get randomly assigned from the next round.

Please post to confirm you have sent the PM so I don't get more than 1 list.

[johnnya24]

With 18+ participants, scarcity will definitely be a factor.

Down to 16 with 3 undeclared from the last draft.

[Erik]

I sent you a list of numbers. It had 17 because of a brain fart, so there's your slot if we get a latecomer. Otherwise, delete #17.

Got so many windows open. The draft thread is updated now.

[johnnya24]

Unoffically Mith can start whenever he's ready to roll.

[Mithrandir]

It may take all day to decide between the two Zep behemoths....

Will do johnny...

[DMT]

I love my draft slot.

You will pass on the opportunity to make Rush the 1st pick of the entire 1970's. When the Rush community find out, there'll be hell to pay.

[johnnya24]

I love my draft slot.

Yeah it was pretty cool last draft. I got to fire double whammy's of crickets

You also get the first live album pick in the 8th.
