Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (1 Viewer)

[Manster]

I'm down if you don't have 25

 

[Yo Mama]

Hey @rockaction can you add the RS ranking  to the draft sheet tab on the spreadsheet?

 

[timschochet]

This list…I don’t think I like this list. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

This list…I don’t think I like this list. 

I know I don't like it.  Some of those songs have no business being there at all.

I expect to heap scorn upon some of them.  I may have to set something on fire if Nickelback or Creed is on there.

Aroo? *Head tilts slightly*

I honestly have no idea how to do that or even what tab you speak of...I guess I'm here for the data entry if need be, but not the logistics, really. I don't want to mess the thing up. Once people are picking, I have no problem entering and logging the data. 

Draft sheet tab? 

I'm smiling and lol'ing at my own goon-like cluelessness. *shrugs*

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

I have too much going on to do this right but sign me up if needed to reach a specific number.

They're not, so you can put the matches away. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

They're not, so you can put the matches away. 

Not even Rolling Stone Magazine would go that far for clickbait.

 

[Northern Voice]

A Canadian band I follow on Twitter posed the question the other day, if you had to listen to one for the rest of your life, would you choose Nickelback or Rush. It's an easy answer for me...

Ok sorry, I thought you set the spreadsheet up. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Ok sorry, I thought you set the spreadsheet up. 

It's me, I'll fool around with the spreadsheet today during football now that it seems a pretty safe bet 25 is the number, I just didn't want to have to deal with adding/subtracting/changing stuff if we landed on a different number.

Thanks - was just looking at the list on the spreadsheet last night and thought it might be helpful to have the overall RS # on the main draft sheet tab once we start inputting picks. 

 

[El Floppo]

out of curiosity... are there rules?

 

[Pip's Invitation]

out of curiosity... are there rules?

The list will be divided into 20 blocs. Songs ranked 1-25, 26-50, etc. Each player drafts 20 songs, one from each bloc. Once you have taken a song from a bloc, you can't take anything from that bloc again. 

 

[Yo Mama]

out of curiosity... are there rules?

Assuming we have 25 drafters:

The Rolling Stone top 500 songs list gets broken into 20 groups of 25. Each drafter has to select one song from each of those groups. You can pick from the groups in any order. So if there is a group of 25 songs that you only like one of, you might want to pick that song earlier. 

 

[El Floppo]

yeah. not gonna read all that.

LETS DRAFT SOME MUSIC!

 

[krista4]

I have some important yoga and showering to do before settling in for football and catching up on the thread.  Looks like we’re getting close!  

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

How do we determine draft order?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

A Canadian band I follow on Twitter posed the question the other day, if you had to listen to one for the rest of your life, would you choose Nickelback or Rush. It's an easy answer for me...

Rush for me. I’m not a hater though. I’m one of the rare few that don’t either love them or hate them. I’d like them way better if not for the vocals. They made good music for running to IMO at least.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I actually like Rush, so not an issue for me. Even if I didn't, Rush has the advantage of being from a more interesting genre. I'll also take dentist-drill vocals (which only appear on the early albums) over I'm-trying-really-hard-to-poop vocals. 

 

[krista4]

In if you need another.

Yippee!

 

[krista4]

  Fresh meat!

I’d just flip a coin and then immediately kill myself. 

 

[krista4]

I have too much going on to do this right but sign me up if needed to reach a specific number.  

Would love to have you participate, but don't want to press if you're too busy...  Right now, without you, we need two.

Does no one read my posts?!?!

Haha... no idea why I'm quoting you. Just checking in and reading and you made me laugh. I actively avoid Rush. Only song I've ever drafted here was an instrumental. 

I am traveling. Visiting family in Vegas then Tahoe. Made too many nfl parlay bets this morning so glued to football. No itinerary. Just wearing out my welcome then moving along. I could be gone for more than a week or home soon. 

I'm tempted to drop out of this one, but just keep me on autoskip. Would happily take the last pick to be on a corner.

 

[krista4]

I just informed OH that if we get stuck at 24, he's going to be in the draft.

I'm OK with your having last pick, unless anyone else objects.

If possible, I'd like to have a sheet that shows the picks/segments by drafter.  Important for strate-ger-y to see who still needs what.

 

[Atomic Punk]

I’ve followed a few of these but never participated. If you’ll accept a virgin who is also Canadian, I’d love to jump in.

Yes!  Happy to see you around again!

 

[Atomic Punk]

Looking forward to it! I better start doing some homework.

 

[krista4]

All right, I consider us to be at 25, with the last spot to be filled with fatguy/OH/other (if someone else steps up today).  I'll put together the draft order, taking out Chaos Commish as being #25 pick unless anyone has a problem with that.

I'm going to use this site and input the names - WA-LA!  No fancy dice here.

Annnnnnd, can I have a do-over?  Here's the draft order.  I'll post this in the first post of the thread and also move the rules that no one read to post #2.

@landrys hat, you're up, but please take your time.  We don't have a draft sheet yet, so I'd rather not get too far along.  @Northern Voice, would you be able to enter this order into the sheet while you're putting it together?  Thank you again for all the work on it!

I will go on the standby list if you need another.

Still need one if you'd like to do it.  @fatguyinalittlecoatis too busy but volunteered to take a slot if we needed one more.  If you're in, we could let him off the hook.

Good googly-moogly, I'm in the middle of Snipe City.

I can do it. I do have a job that does not allow me to be on during day but I'm good other than that. Not sure how fast you guys want this to go?

 

[krista4]

Ah, that's rough.  Although there's no draft clock, these tend to go fast in the early rounds when people are excited, and folks can get antsy waiting.  (They do tend to slow in the later ones as people start to care less and get bored.)  If you wanted to do it, you could consider:

1.  Put yourself on skip during the day when not available and make up your picks after work.  If you're a competitive type (as I am!), this might not be pleasing and/or take some fun out of it for you.

2.  Send some picks to another drafter or helpful bystander each day that it appears you'll be up, so that someone can make them for you and you don't get skipped.

3.  Quit your job.

4.  Any combination of #1-3.

 

[krista4]

I'm off to eat Mexican food, drinks margaritas, and watch the Seahawks disappoint me.  We can sort out the final details later.

And to be clear, a wait of a few hours isn't going to kill anyone.  We're not all able to be on this site all the time.  Just wouldn't want a full day to go by.

Here's a playlist (not mine) of the RS 500

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5dxn0i8MPl6XFVVxNatd6U?si=d3347e2ac1464fca

 

[Binky The Doormat]

The list will be divided into 20 blocs. Songs ranked 1-25, 26-50, etc. Each player drafts 20 songs, one from each bloc. Once you have taken a song from a bloc, you can't take anything from that bloc again. 

So we don't have to go in sequence of the blocks?

I can promise one a day. If someone with more time on their hands wants to step in I am cool with that as well.

 

[krista4]

No, that would be boring and non-strategic.  We don't run boring draft around here, bub.  Choose in any order you wish.

 

[landrys hat]

If possible, I'd like to have a sheet that shows the picks/segments by drafter.  Important for strate-ger-y to see who still needs what.

I made one of these.  It's sheet 3.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I have a pick (provided the first three up don't jank it). Hopefully it's not the exact same song out of 500 that Krista wanted. 

 

[krista4]

I made one of these.  It's sheet 3.

Thank you!!  And feel free to make your first pick if you wish, or wait if you'd rather.

@Northern Voice, let me know when you have the rest of the spreadsheet finalized.  I'm not touching anything until you've done whatever you wish to do.  I know it's still in progress since there are some picks filled in.

I have a pick (provided the first three up don't jank it). Hopefully it's not the exact same song out of 500 that Krista wanted. 

Change to 1-25, etc. might have changed my pick, but with draft slot #20 I haven't bothered to look yet.  :(  

 

[Pip's Invitation]

It didn't change my overall strategy, but it did change what I did and not perceive as scarce. 

 

[krista4]

Overall strategy, you say?  Hmmm.  

By the way, I want to bold in case anyone doesn't read my or Binky's posts - REMINDER - you do not have to pick in order of the segments (in fact doing so would be bad overall strategy).  Choose any undrafted song from any segment you haven't drafted from yet.
