Pick a Pair/Half Decade Album Draft - Bonus Rounds Thu & Fri - Pick three if you want (1 Viewer)

[Eephus]

Oh maybe I got confused because we skipped Tasker last time 

Maybe we should skip NV this time

 

[krista4]

We could pick three albums per round

I was going to petition for 20 rounds.

 

[Eephus]

Odd numbered rounds: you -> NV -> Tasker

Even numbered rounds: NV -> Tasker -> you

I've renumbered the sheet to get rid of the decimal points. We're at 25 drafters which is exactly where I originally figured the maximum was.

 

[landrys hat]

Too early to start 3 in the chamber?

 

[PIK95]

Less shtick, more pick!

Less shticks, more picks!

Less Shick!, more PIK!

I'm still working on this bit.

I will be gone for the next three hours.  Soccer night.  TEXT me if I get up, but I seriously doubt I will.

There are like 40 picks before you. Be lucky if we get to you 24 hours from now

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!

Was hoping this combo would fall to me 

pick

I'm trying to stay positive!  Don't you know what this Keto diet does to people like me? !!!

 

[HellToupee]

Beggars Banquet (1968)

Favorite song: Jigsaw Puzzle

Exile on Main Street (1972) 

Favorite song: Sweet Black Angel 

Great combo , Stray Cat Blues & Happy for me off these 

 

[KarmaPolice]

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

From what I've seen he's largely staying away from posting in there now

 

[Steve Tasker]

You can skip me if/when I come up, thanks.

 

[zamboni]

Think he said that in his 1970 thread, but that was 51 years ago. Or at least seems like it.

[Eephus]

whatever I don't pick will be dust.

...as will we all

 

[Ilov80s]

I'm back, looks like NV is here?

He picked if you want to go, I will wait a bit for you

 

[Steve Tasker]

2.10 - Kanye West - Graduation (2007) / My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010)

I tend to draft MBDTF often, but it's a modern musical classic, and for me personally probably the single best album of the '10s.

"All of the Lights" (seizure warning)

"Runaway"

"Good Life"

"Flashing Lights"

Nice picks. I figured a Kanye pair would go much, much later, and likely by me, but I guess not.

Donda still available

Typical draft format for these:

RD 1:  typical chalk vbd picks

RDs2-4:  Grab faves that might surprise people, but drafters don't want to be without them. 

Rd 5:  "oh ####, X is still undrafted and out there?  I have to grab that..."

Donda still available

Certified Lover Boy in the second, bruh.

I'm so confident I usually skip round one and leave myself with only round two or later.

 

[Ilov80s]

Ok, really happy this made it to me. I had a couple combos for this band and since this band has already been drafted, it put the pressure on to grab this next. I like this combo because it gives me a little of the early and later versions of the band and their sound. I love everything about this band, just absolute legends and did so by creating their own path, never scared to do something weird. 

Talking Heads

More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978)

Thank You For Sending Me an Angel

Found a Job

Speaking in Tongues (1983) 

Girlfriend is Better

This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

@El Floppo

 

[Eephus]

The Talking Heads

@El Floppo

I was thinking about this one too.  

 

[El Floppo]

these picks keep coming at the wrong time for me...was just coming in to say I'm out for the night. but I'll throw it out there before I go...

Stooges - Stooges (69) & Raw Power (73)

 

[Ilov80s]

lol, I don't think there is a band that I don't put "the" in front of. 

 

[El Floppo]

already regretting what I didn't pick.

 

[Yo Mama]

Prince - Purple Rain (1984)

Prince - Sign O' The Times (1987)

When Doves Cry

I Would Die 4 U

U Got the Look

Sign O' The Times

Almost took these two when I took beastie boys. 

 

[Ilov80s]

I came of age during the 00s garage band era where every band was "The _____". I will never shake it.

the the the?

I loved your picks there but I agree it is tough because as soon as you draft, you realize how many great albums won't make it back. Especially with the size of this draft.

For a brief moment, The Thrills, The Stills, and The Kills were dominating my ipod playlist

 

[KarmaPolice]

This draft is harder than I thought, and unpredictable as our drafts and tastes usually are.   I had 3-4 ideas I really liked at this point, and I am pretty sure I will regret rolling the dice on one making it back to me.  The others have more options.  Anyway - don't love the band overall, but love love love these 2 albums, so let's go with...

Round 2:  U2

THE JOSHUA TREE ('87)

ACHTUNG BABY ('91)

@Charlie Steiner is OTC, I believe.
