Thank god @simey The Snipemaster is not in this draft.   

I was just thinking about jumping in.  

 

[rockaction]

This board is not groovy today. It stalls, fits, starts. 

But I will not have Graham Nash slandered in my sandbox. Here's a bucket of sand to go with your coffee, moops. 

 

[krista4]

Violent Femmes have more than one good album? I had no idea.

 

[Eephus]

I was just thinking about jumping in.  

You're up for two

 

[rockaction]

I hope that's taken in its intended spirit. 

Much like music, I wish nobody's coffee ill will. Or underwear filtration. Or anything even remotely like that. 

 

[rockaction]

Assent.  

 

[zamboni]

But I will not have Graham Nash slandered in my sandbox. Here's a bucket of sand to go with your coffee, moops. 

If Joni Mitchell thought highly of Graham, that's good enough for me.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Violent Femmes have more than one good album? I had no idea.

I wouldn't call "Why do Birds Sing" great but its a good album and has some fun moments. 

 

[Doug B]

Violent Femmes have more than one good album? I had no idea.

@Uncle Humuna will have you answer to this, bucko!

(When he steps out of this)

I was just kidding to poke at k4.  

 

[Yo Mama]

Yo Mama Picks a Pair of Songs from the Pair of Album Pairs Picked in the Pick a Pair Draft

(might need to pare this down a bit when naming my playlist on Spotify)

Nirvana, Bleach - 1989

Negative Creep

Love Buzz

Nirvana, Nevermind - 1991

Breed

Lounge Act

Beastie Boys, Paul’s Boutique - 1989

Root Down
 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Chalky, but these won't be around in 40 picks:

Led Zeppelin IV (untitled, 1971)
"The Battle of Evermore"
"When the Levee Breaks"
"... Hey!"

In Through the Out Door (1979)
"In the Evening"
"All My Love"
"Fool in the Rain"
 

I thought about pairing IV with another Zep, but I already did the repeat-artist thing and had a special rule designed for me, so I didn't. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Radiohead -The Bends

High and Dry

Fake Plastic Trees

Hate to be predictable, but those are my favorites on that record.

Radiohead - Kid A

The National Anthem

Optimistic

I wanted two other combos more, but no way this makes it back, lol.

Damn this message board!  Had everything hyperlinked, and it froze again.  Grr. 

This was another combo I considered. I wouldn't say The Bends is "greater" than OK Computer, but I listen to it more often.

Unborn chickens everywhere rebel at the thought.

 

[El Floppo]

It's right there in the rules!  Does no one read Eephus's posts?!  

there are rules?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

So tim lives on this board unless he's OTC?

 

[Pip's Invitation]

So tim lives on this board unless he's OTC?

Maybe he went into the PSF and got banned again...

 

[Charlie Steiner]

there are rules?

They're more like bylaws.

 

[Ilov80s]

Maybe he went into the PSF and got banned again...

From my experience that does happen to Tim about 3-4 times per draft 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

From my experience that does happen to Tim about 3-4 times per draft 

even the ones he starts and runs.

 

[krista4]

Just give him Tapestry and something else and move on.

(JK, tim.)

new wave classic, right there.

If I had a strategy, your presence in the draft would change it.  Thus far, I don't have a strategy anyway!

 

[Binky The Doormat]

It's all about garnering and holding attention for timbo.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Step 1: Draft the Beatles

Step 2: ???????????

Step 3: Profit! 

 

[timschochet]

Beggars Banquet (1968)

Favorite song: Jigsaw Puzzle

Exile on Main Street (1972) 

Favorite song: Sweet Black Angel 

 

[PIK95]

This board is not groovy today. It stalls, fits, starts. 

It's going on a few weeks for me now fwiw 

 

[Ilov80s]

More Stones off the board, @Dr. Octopus

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 2

With some of the more interesting picks so far I hate to go chalk, but with these two classics still out there I have to scoop them up.

Tommy - The Who (1969)

Quadrophenia - The Who (1973)

I'm a sucker for concept albums and with these both being double records - all the better!

 

[PIK95]

If Joni Mitchell thought highly of Graham, that's good enough for me.

You mean Emmylou Harris?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

@Steve Tasker

 

[Dr. Octopus]

More Stones off the board, @Dr. Octopus

I may find an album (or two) I like by them down the road.

 

[PIK95]

@Uncle Humuna will have you answer to this, bucko!

(When he steps out of this)

Whatever happened to that guy?  

 

[krista4]

You mean Emmylou Harris?

Do you mean Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons?

 

[PIK95]

This was another combo I considered. I wouldn't say The Bends is "greater" than OK Computer, but I listen to it more often. 

Ironically the Bends is like my 5th or 6th favorite Radiohead, lol. 

 

[PIK95]

Do you mean Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons?

Well Duh. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

@Steve Tasker

I think the shtick is that @Northern Voicegoes before Tasker in every round. We'll let them sort it out. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Ironically the Bends is like my 5th or 6th favorite Radiohead, lol. 

Well, you can tell it was the same band that made Creep. You can't say that about OK Computer and everything after it. 

 

[Steve Tasker]

NV OTC

 

[Eephus]

Ironically the Bends is like my 5th or 6th favorite Radiohead, lol. 

That's not particularly ironic unless you posted while scuba diving

Tommy - The Who (1969)

Another pair I considered at 1.05

 

[Ilov80s]

What kind of shenanigans am I caught between with Tasker and NV?

[krista4]

[El Floppo]

Beggars Banquet (1968)

Favorite song: Jigsaw Puzzle

Exile on Main Street (1972) 

Favorite song: Sweet Black Angel 

ugh. Beggars is my favorite Stones and one of my favorite albums. Was looking at a different partner for it, but can't go wrong with Exile.

nice picks.

 

[Eephus]

Less shtick, more pick!

Less shticks, more picks!

We could pick three albums per round

Less shuke, more puke! 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Odd numbered rounds: you -> NV -> Tasker

Even numbered rounds: NV -> Tasker -> you

 

[Ilov80s]

Odd numbered rounds: you -> NV -> Tasker

Even numbered rounds: NV -> Tasker -> you

Oh maybe I got confused because we skipped Tasker last time
