There would have been more stealing if there had been more participants. There was enough Q, X and Z for everyone who made it to 26 rounds, but that may not have been the case if we had 5+ more people.
My strategy was to pick Q, X and Z artists that nobody else would probably want.
As far as steals go, I didn't know that once we picked the letter we couldn't steal. That would have helped me understand the game a little better and I wouldn't have drafted "X" and the others so quickly into the game.
Actually, what am I saying? I took Big Star out the gate (but I had been listening to them for several days!).
My thoughts on steals: I think the 2 steal per drafter was fine, but maybe you could increase the cap on how many a person could be stolen from. With people getting frozen so quickly, it took lots of good groups off the market early.
For scarcity, I’d consider being stricter on the artists availability with duets or various band iterations. If Queen is taken, they then can’t be taken with David Bowie or the Muppets, or whoever. If Elvis Costello and the XYZs is taken, all other Elvis Costello iterations are off the board. (I’m fine if it’s completely different bands like Pearl Jam / Temple of the Dog or STP / Velvet Revolver)
I’m not complaining though. This was a fun change of pace. If all things were kept the same, I’d probably use my steals earlier before things got locked up or before I drafted other options.
I agree on the artists thing and think more stealing would have been ok though I think it was wise to be conservative about it the first time through. It’s a format we could do again with perhaps a 50 States draft or Songs that start with, etc

Any number of songs by morbid Moz could have fit my theme but I went instead with the first Smiths bassline that came to mind. It may not be his best but the bass carries the song.

my initial pick of ? and the Mysterians were being "clever" with 'Q' i suppose, but were a dumb arse strategy to put out in the first rd, what with the scarcity.
that shoulda been the easiest steal of the gig, but nobody poached ...

I had too many fantasy football drafts this month to join in, but, as a spectator, just wanted to say had fun following along. Some new to me stuff that will need to give a listen to.
I didn't feel the need to steal based on needed letters, there were plenty to chose from. I just stold my favorite bands. Ten more drafters and four steals instead of two would have made for more action imo.

right ... but i put it out there as the second overall pick of the draft, leaving it exposed for the better part of 26 rds ... my "strategy" were horrendous.
but i'm a better player for it, so i got that going for me, at least.

When I discovered this band, I started to appreciate Stewart Copeland's drumming much more than I did with The Police. I listened to The Police with different ears after that.

I discovered Badfinger later than the British Invasion bands. Love the band and their tragic story. I renewed my love for vinyl in the last 4 years and finding original pressings of their albums was a challenge with a great payoff.
Lots of "B" acts to choose from. I almost went with Buzzcocks - Why Can't I Touch It https://youtu.be/L1G0jl0Vc64
when a recent Ted Lasso episode featured the song and reminded me how much I listened to them back in the day.
C. My friends would bet a lot of money that my pick here would be Crowded House. Most of the time they'd be right.
This time I make a different choice.
Charlyn Marie "Chan" Marshall. Cat Power was originally the name of her first band, but has become her stage name as a solo artist.

Amazing voice.
“I Think of Angels” was composed by KK and performed in collaboration with his sister, Ellen Kristjánsdóttir. The song pays tribute to the siblings’ late sister, Inger, who died in a car crash in America in 1992. “I Think of Angels” was officially released in 1995 on the album Gleðifólkið. The song is often performed at funerals in Iceland.

If I read the rules correctly (and all the back and forth debates) his work with The 400 Unit has been claimed. But, the album "Southeastern" should be in play because it is credited to Jason Isbell. This is an amazing song that gets me every time.

Not Canadian either, American ...sigh.
But, we all need a little Pop in our life. You're welcome.
Canadian? You're damn right they are.
I couldn't be prouder of these guys. They are from the small city I grew up in. In the music world, it is the birthplace of Joni Mitchell and the hometown of The Sheepdogs. The Sheepdogs were the first unsigned band to make the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
The Pikes? They used to play our high school dances (when they were known as The Ragtops). They were a big deal when I was in high school, University and still are to me today.

As a Canadian, I'm obligated to pick these guys. I'm fine with it because it's a great song.
So I went down the rabbit hole a bit more today on these guys. It seems that the main reason PC left Chicago was that he hated the horns, lol. He seems like a weird dude. On a side note, the first Journey record kinda reminds me of early Chicago, minus the horns. I like both alot fwiw.

The main reason was that he wanted to do both solo albums and band albums (like Phil Collins with Genesis) but the other members were not down with that. But he was perfectly happy to sing synth ballads with little to no horns on them, whereas the other members only went along because their producer and label said that was what they needed to do to keep having hits.

Apparently Country is frowned upon in these drafts. I'm not a big Country fan,but I won't apologize for liking Mr. Yoakam (and a few others). It was difficult for me to narrow it down to just one song.
I checked post #4 in the thread where JML recapped the chosen artists by letter. I also checked his round summary posts and some of the posts on page 30+ and didn't see them. I expect to be called out if someone already drafted them.
No no no no no no no. I say that with a smile, by the way. It's not everybody's taste, but ask simey about that. She'll tell you. I also like country at times.

Obvious choice for the band, but very meaningful to me.
My best friend Russell's older brother bought this album. We knew we had to listen to it. We snuck in his brother's room and took it with us. When the needle hit the vinyl and this song started,we were mesmerized.
We had to get it to our high school and get it on our radio station that was on during lunch hour. Our Principal was strict. It was a public high school, but he wanted to introduce school uniforms. He also ruled our radio airwaves with an iron fist.
We were only Freshmen so how could we get it on the air? Only kids in Grade 11 and 12 got to be "DJs" so we had to bribe our way on the air.
We gave the guy $10 and he said as long as we stuck to the approved Playlist we were fine and he left for a smoke.
We had patter and we had practiced. So during the intro to the song we introduced ourselves. Russell went "Ring,ring. Ring, ring. We have an important call coming in." I said "Who is it?" Joe Strummer answered with "London Calling." Then we shut up and let the song play. We were so lame.
If this was a John Hughes movie we would have ruled the school for the rest of our time there and never paid for anything in the cafeteria. Instead we had a week of "fame". But.....what a week it was.

If I hadn't been able to steal ZZ Top or The Zombies, I had a backup plan of OH favorite Zeni Geva. @Pip's Invitation , sure, they sound like shouty homeless guys, but Japanese shouty homeless guys.

We counted Neil Young separate from Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Tom Petty separate from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Queen and David Bowie different from Queen, etc., so you're good.
