Yes!

Ok let’s get this going. Will do a proper write up tomorrow. Some many options , obviously didn’t consider scarcity because the catalog is deep 

1.01 The Rolling Stones

1971- Sticky Fingers

1969-Let in Bleed

 

[rockaction]

COMIN' OUT OF THE BOOTH, BLUES-Y BLAZING AFTER A DABBLING IN HIPPIEDOM FOR THE BRIEFEST OF MOMENTS.

CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING?

This is akin to picking 1.01 in the Greatest 100m Sprinter of all-time draft.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I also appreciate the @ but I’m traveling the next 4 days and then I’m back into the COVID/RSV/Flu hellhole, so I’ll have to pass on this one. 
 

Sounds like a fun draft. 

 

[Northern Voice]

This feels like a no spotlighting draft but I've had 4 beers and want to hit some italics lyrics, so I guess it's Sticky Fingers time.

I shall be in

@Eephus throw Tasker behind me in the draft order IMO. In every round. No serpentine benefits. 

 

[PIK95]

So what's a half decade?  00, 01, 02, 03, 04?  

I feel kinda stupid, but I still don't get that part.  Do they have to be separated by five years?

They start with 0s and 5s

 

[PIK95]

They start with 0s and 5s

Ok, I reread that part.  Do we have to hit each half decade once?  Or can we just live in the 90's?

You can live in the 90s, but some people will try to hit all the half decades.

There is no reason to do so, aside from self assigned nerd credit points.

"Soft start in progress" - name of my sextape, if I have a couple more beers and try to rouse Mrs. NV in an hour.

I'm leaving mine right where she is.  I'm catching up on my DVR now, and it's GLORIOUS.

Spreadsheet updated. I probably didn't make the changes the most efficient way but you gotta plow through once you start

 

[Eephus]

I didn't expect half decades to be such a brainbuster

Seriously?  You should know by now.  

 

[Northern Voice]

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yeah, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

 

[Eephus]

You may be high
You may be low
You may be rich, child
You may be poor
But when @the moops get ready
You gotta move

 

[Hov34]

Looks like fun.  But I'll just watch as FBG has been blocked at work and I hate trying to post from my phone.

Looking forward to lurking.

I'm doing no research and picking terrible music

Sorry I missed out on this one, but probably for the best since work is crazy right now.

Actually, if a spot opens up I could use a distraction right now.

Dude, it was Friday.  People were baked.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I’m only confused by the confusion.

 

[otb_lifer]

thanks for the shout/invite, but life is getting crazier by the second, too busy

You need some of this, man.

 

[rockaction]

Having a devil of a time with the third pick here. Do I go floor or draft Kelce with the pick? @Dr. Octopus

I never like my dam drafts when I take Kelce in the first.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Do you know what a half decade is?

Honestly, i thought your instructions were very easy to follow, and much less confusing than past drafts.

I understand @Eephusshtick.

I am also terribly hungover. Give me a bit for the pick

1.01 The Rolling Stones

Love that, this band was made for this draft

 

[Ilov80s]

I got excited that we started but I just looked at my draft slot :(  

 

[krista4]

Please sign my petition for half-decades to start on the 1s and 6s.  TIA.

 

[the moops]

OK, so many ways to go here. And this is the 4th name/band I have typed up and deleted and now retyped. Also debated between three albums by this guy. Gotta go with the greatest songwriter of all time though.

1.02 Bob Dylan

1965 - Highway 61 Revisited

1975 - Blood on the Tracks

 

[the moops]

@rockaction you up

 

[El Floppo]

Please sign my petition for half-decades to start on the 1s and 6s.  TIA.

general bako murmur of approval

 

[rockaction]

I've got time before k4 is even up, right? I'm up Left Coast early.

I'm having a devil of a time deciding between Kelce and an injury-proof CMC.

Oh ####### hell. She's up right now.

(That was said with a smile, by the way. I had a write-up all ready and will have to can it for next time, should those albums be available.)

 

[rockaction]

Okay, it's going to be a long, long wait for pick number 47 or so. I feel guilty taking this. It's not you, it's your draft position, fool. But sometimes the dice go tumblin', right number one band of the draft?

There goes this band. You better hit it.

1.03 The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)

Loaded (1970)

I'll write something later, but I'm really not sure anything I write could even begin to capture the enormous importance, artistic creativity, or heck, let's call it divine spark and songcraft that can only come from a studied songwriter and classical aficionado breaking all the damn rules in a modern form. And that's their first album.

Wait until they try and consciously write an album with hit songs and come up with a line like, "'Can I have your autograph?' he said to the fat, blonde actress'" An absurd sentiment, an absurd try, right? Yet one of the songs on that album is remembered by everyone with a pulse who likes rock and roll. Indeed, one the best songs has "Rock N' Roll" right in the title.

It beggars belief. The ten thousand bands that came after can sign their royalty checks over.

Out.

Songs TK. I'm going to try and find something cool for y'all. Maybe covers? I dunno.

[the moops]

niice

 

[Northern Voice]

Just so I have this right, for maximum nerd points, I'd hit 

• 50s
  
• 60-64
  
• 65-69
  
• 70-74
  
• 75-79
  
• Etc..
  
• 2020s?
  

 

[Pip's Invitation]

The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)

Loaded (1970)

This was one of the first things that came to mind as far as a "scarcity pick" goes, regardless of which of the '60s albums you pair Loaded with. I figured it would be long gone before my pick.
