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

The fine print

Allmusic, Discogs and Wikipedia are authoritative regarding release dates.  Spotify is not.

  • Compilations (e.g. greatest hits, soundtracks, singles/rarities collections) are ineligible.
  • Half decade eligibility for live albums is based on date recorded not date released.
  • Catalogs of solo artists include albums made with a named backing band (e.g. TP and the Heartbreakers, EC and the Attractions)
  • Krista's rule: Wings is considered solo Paul
  • Pip's rule: CSN and CSNY are equivalent

Yes. They can be from 94 and 95 if you like.

Half decades are the only thing that matters

OK now I’m confused: 

I thought they had to be from different half decades- 94 and 95 would be the same half decade right? (1991-1995) 

Also if I take two Led Zeppelin albums does that eliminate Led Zeppelin? Or can somebody else take two other Led Zeppelin albums?

Sigh.

"2. Half decades start with zeros and fives, e.g. 1980-84, 2005-09. The entire 1950s and 2020s are considered eligible half decades."

Half decades start with zeros and fives

Multiple drafters can claim the same band and half-decades, just not the same albums.  Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street can both be drafted, just not at the same time. They have to be paired with another Rolling Stones album that's not from the early 70s.

There are a few well-placed live albums where the recorded dates will span across two separate half-decades. Just pick one or the other?

 
I'm as clear as Clarence, I think.

Albums get removed, but not entire artists nor all records from that half-decade by an artist already selected. Decades are 0-4, 5-9. Optional hitting of all decades if one wants nerd points. The scarcity it creates are bands like the Sex Pistols, who are in the punk rock pantheon, are pretty much immediately disqualified. Most other bands will have a shelf life of a half decade. If bands are fortuitous enough to stick it out for a long time with quality releases or happen to have split a half decade or the turn of one, they're in luck!

Got it. Ready to go.

 
I think. Sorry to spotlight a band, but I figured that might be the best example of a one-album band that created or is in the pantheon of their respective genre that won't qualify, save for live recordings of theirs.

Re-read the second post. Without having to span 60+ years, this becomes a very different exercise.

I thought about more complications but more half decade requirements aren't worth the extra bookkeeping.

I think the scarcity gimmick will pose enough of a challenge as artists start getting closed out.

Hmmm, I did not understand this.  I thought once a band was taken for a half-decade, they were out.  No?

So if I were, purely hypothetically, to take a Beatles '60-'64, someone else could still take one?  That doesn't make them so scarce as I thought.

No. But if, say, a band released one album in 1964, 8 albums in 1965-69, and one album in 1970, they could only be selected twice. The 1964 album plus one from 65-69 and the 1970 album plus one from 65-69. The other 65-69 albums couldn't be taken because there would be nothing left to pair them with. (Alternatively, someone could be mean and take the 1964 album and the 1970 album, eliminating all the 65-69 albums because there would be nothing to pair them with.)
