Me too... Although I better erase the link to my draft listI'm up for whatever. That was phun.
i miss this thread already..... ......
I say we do it again, same participants and no album can be taken from the previous draft.
I'm in. Just start next Monday please. Kids are on vacation.
We'll need more skipped letter options, or some of the draft picks for U, X, Q, and Y are gonna be strange...
how bout going to songs, or is that what the other DIMDs were?
I'm up for whatever. That was phun.
I was going to suggest again my idea for the songs with long titles (6+ words?) draft. Had this in mind after my alphabet/one word title draft. Thought it would be too soon after this one, but if people are interested in that, I am down. Like PIK said, I am up for whatever though.
If we do the idea of doubling up on this draft, I would suggest being able to double up on letters as well. 26 rounds, but we can double up on 4 letters?
Wow, I can quote 9 posts.Me too... Although I better erase the link to my draft list
Totally in.Wow, I can quote 9 posts.
I'm not running the next one, but there were 4 possibilities for alphabet drafts. We've done this one and one of the previous drafts had an alphabet format.
KP has a mixtape idea and if no one does one in the next month I have a mixtape idea as well.
Still got housekeeping to do here unfortunately.....
I still love the title idea. I'm from the emocore aughts with a love of the sixties, so this would be just fine.I was going to suggest again my idea for the songs with long titles (6+ words?) draft.

Yes.
As you can see this can be the first of a series of 4.
1) Albums - Alphabet artist Name
2) Albums - Alphabet Album Name
3) Singles - Alphabet artist name
4) Singles - Alphabet song name

mineI: It's a Beautiful Day, self-titled debut album. Incredible Submarine Band would have gotten more consideration were it not a 26 minute album.
No. Various Artists should be soundtracks with mainly new material, musicals or #### like thatLet me if I can finish this up, before the Russian mob thread consumes my remaining brain cells.
Posting on the mobile. Will come back and format and provide links later.

Z: not sure what's available from the Zappa catalog, but let's go with Lumpy Gravy.
V: ...hmm, I have a question. Are K-Tel albums eligible under the guise of various artists?
Arrrgh. I'm going to have to wander off and ponder my options.mine
1.01 Xonxai - FFA Tapes (A Different Basement)We'll need more skipped letter options, or some of the draft picks for U, X, Q, and Y are gonna be strange...
Yes - I bailed on "X".@John Maddens Lunchbox owes 2 picks (J & P). Is busy piss farting around instead of picking.
@simey has said X will be blank, so finished at 25. Shame the jukebox won't go to 11 like most of us will.
@Hov34 is missing Z. Making one?
@Mrs. Rannous and @Val Rannous are missing X. I almost assume it will be left blank. Enjoy your volume at 10.
@Northern Voice is missing C, which I assume will be made.
@Binky The Doormat is missing X. I almost assume it will be left blank. Enjoy your volume at 10.
@PIK95 was still dithering between 3 R picks. (REM - Automatic for the People, Radiohead - Amnesiac and Rednex - Sex and Violins)
XXX Schtupps the Clown soundtrack. BoomchikkabinkyboinkYes - I bailed on "X".
Yeah, I thought it would be harder, but I think this will be an easier draft. I don't think we are limited to all prog songs either.I still love the title idea. I'm from the emocore aughts with a love of the sixties, so this would be just fine.
For somebody who don't drive I've been all around the world...I also bailed on X. I'll just slide in the Boogie Nights soundtrack.
I'm up for whatever. That was phun.

Nonsense!Not surprising the 6th best Floyd album went undrafted.at Dark Side going undrafted.
AnimalsNonsense!
I don't think they sped it up a little with 1984. They just added the synth sounds . They had plenty of songs in their catalog prior to that album that were uptempo rock. They were never a speed metal band. My favorite VH song. That song is the first song VH ever used a piano in, and that was in 1980. EVH played a wurlitzer electric piano in different parts of the song including the intro.That's the thing, though - I don't think VH changed their sound/style all that much with "Jump". It wasn't like they all of a sudden became a Barry Manilow cover band and didn't "rock" anymore. For a band not known for its finesse, I thought adding some new textures was a masterstroke. Plus, they sped up a little.
Have you guys listened to "Runnin' With The Devil" lately? My God, it's like molasses draining through a sieve made out of mud (or like Bad Company - which is even worse). "The Tennessee Waltz" is a thrash record compared to that. I remember when it came out and thinking "ok, they'll kick in here soon and get this thing going". They never did.
Toughest snipe: Spoon - Gimme Fiction
Two picks before one I was about to make it with.
We should do a draft of songs that have fewer than 10K Youtube views.26th Round - Qwel and Maker - "Owl"
Sorry, been in and out the past few days. This one is so "out there", that there's not a Wikipedia link for it. These guys were a staple for background music at the indie record label I once interned at. I use the term interned very lightly. It's a chill old-school hip-hop vibe, definitely influenced by De La Soul, ATCQ, Native Tongues stuff. Qwel kinda sounds like you'd imagine Action Bronson would sound if you'd never heard him talk.
"The Game"
"El Camino"
"Word to the Wise"
26.x - Indolents - David Xirgu Quartet (I don't own this album, but it's on spotify). (X)@simey has said X will be blank, so finished at 25. Shame the jukebox won't go to 11 like most of us will.
Send flotilla. Will send bottle in return. Love Qwel and Maker, btw. Jam for Tuesday morning.My island is complete. Pretty happy with the mix, I think it encompasses pretty much the spectrum of my music. 7 hip-hop albums, 5 of which are among my all-time favorites. Some really rich art rock. Some dance albums mixed with some dark shoegazey elements. And a bunch of pop.

- B - Broken Social Scene - "Broken Social Scene"
- C - Cut/Copy - "In Ghost Colours"
- D - Daft Punk - "Discovery"
- E - Eric B & Rakim - "Paid in Full"

No, I definitely won. ;-)rockaction said:Think a bunch of us might have. Feel that way about creative output. We just amateur critics.
Honestly, I kinda forgot how good they are (or Qwel solo). I had literally nothing else for Q after Queen and Queens of the Stone Age were taken.rockaction said:Owl/The Game by Qwel and the Maker is utter fire. I've had a ####ty few days, but this is making up for it.
