DR★ Music Draft reopened: make any outstanding picks and let's talk about the next draft (1 Viewer)

It's been a while since we had a music draft so I'm gauging interest/availability for a quick song draft.  The proposed theme is Dead Rock Stars which requires some disclaimers up front:

  • This is intended as a tribute, not some ghoulish exercise so mods please don't nuke the thread
  • Drafting of non-rock artists is encouraged but "dead musicians" doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.
I'm proposing this as an eleven rounder with the following categories:

3 singers
2 guitar
1 rapper (double dipping allowed)
1 bass  (double dipping allowed)
1 drum
1 keyboard
1 other instrument (e.g. horns, harmonica, didgeridoo)
1 composer/songwriter    

and would prefer to draft artist/song rather than just artist so we can do mixtapes.  I think the collaborative playlists in Genrepalooza worked out well but that's open for discussion, as is everything else.

Rules are pretty straightforward:

  • Artist must be deceased, bleedin' demised, shuffled off the mortal coil, etc.
  • Artist can be drafted only once in a given category EXCEPT FOR RAPPERS & BASS PLAYERS where optional double dipping is allowed.
  • Bands with more than one dead person may be drafted multiple times in a category.  For example, we could have different Beatles songs in the singer category for George and John (but not a song that Ringo or Paul sang).
  • Artist may be drafted in multiple categories if they qualify.  For example, Prince could technically be drafted in every category (except he's a terrible rapper)

Artist only drafted once per category by you, or once the entire draft for that category?

One pick closes out the artist for that category. 

It's a scarcity gimmick that's open for discussion, especially if we have a lot of drafters.

 
I guess it's sad how easy it is to pick people for this draft. Sat down for a bit and was able to come up with a pick or two for each of the categories.

 
Im in if someone can om/text me when I inevitability forget about it when I fall asleep tonight.

I'm also looking for something similar to Toro Y Moi to spin tonight.  A while back someone mentioned they knew the genre well.  Tia.

 
The short length and the scarcity elements of this draft intrigue. Count me in if you'll have me -- I've run out of gas in some of the more recent FFA drafts I've done :(

Him and Keith Richards would probably live to be 200 years old if they were fitness/clean-diet enthusiasts.
Quite the opposite - i believe their self-pickling is what's preserving them

 
Can't do anything around the house this morning, I'm just sitting in front of the computer; so I started a list of people interested. If there is a ? I am unsure if they want to participate (13 so far including questionables). If you are missing, let us know!

I think this is enough to roll with.  Some of the categories have some depth issues so too many drafters would create a problem.  I'd like this one to serve as an appetizer to get the old band back together for something bigger to follow next so if people miss out on this one, it's not a big deal.

I haven't researched this extensively but my instincts say bass and rappers are probably the shallowest categories.  We could allow doubling up on picks if we end up with more than 10-12 drafters.

Any other ideas are welcomed.

I guess we just need to know if the people who made a comment about the draft want to be included! Without any questionables, we are at 9.
