Thanks, Rass.rass wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 10:37 am The thing:
Create a seven (7) song playlist that includes one (1) song from the album you provided as an answer to the thread's initial question, and six (6) other songs, one (1) each from any six (6) other ALBUMS released that same year.
(if it fucking comes to it, let's assume US release dates)
(see jerloma's list earlier as an example)
(and mister d has a bug up his ass about greatest hits and live albums, so don't use those for your supplemental choices)
Your playlist will go head to head with the playlist of the Swamper you are grouped with in the bracket. A vote will be taken, and the winner will move on the next round.
If you have access to Spotify, you should put together the playlist yourself. When appropriate, you will post the link/URL to playlist here. Or do it right away if you don't give a shit if your opponent sees it early.
If you do not have a Spotify account, create a free one? If necessary, send me your list, but ideally you should have a way to listen to everyone else's submissions so you an vote.
There will likely be some level of remix of playlists (forced, or by choice) between rounds but no one has settled on the rules for that yet.
Mr. D, what are you proposing for our year (which looks like a really good one)? You and I draft amongst ourselves? I'm in. Something else? I'm probably in for that too.

After only a bit of research, I'm ready to declare 2007 the best year for indie music ever.

man a lot of shit that I hate came out in 1985.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time (Music Related Again)
I tried not to look until I put out the rules in case people wanted to change things up, but there are atleast two (2) albums I really thought were 2007 that weren't and one (1) that I didn't think was that is. Not that I would have picked a different favorite either way, but if everyone wanted to do "a year after the release" or something, I wanted no bias.
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time (Music Related Again)
Yeah, come up with our own short lists and then pick bands or songs over email so we can avoid overlap / see what the other prioritizes.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 10:48 amMr. D, what are you proposing for our year (which looks like a really good one)?

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time (Music Related Again)
So how do the later rounds work? Do I have to pick new songs from the same album?
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.

I'm open to most anything. Only rule, and its new, is that if you share a year, you can't take a song from someone else's prior round.

Can I propose that for tie-breakers the two participants swap years, keep the same "initial" album, and pick 7 brand new songs?

Both Giff and Ryan's entries have stinkers, IMO. My unscientific method (2 points for great song, 1 point for good song) has Giff ahead 7-6.

To be clear, not putting it off. Just have to find six perfect songs off of the 23 albums I've picked out.

I guess 24 hours per matchup?
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time (Music Related Again)
Yeah I could have easily done at least three or four kick-ass versions with completely different songs.

Going through Ryan's list and it was hard to imagine that RATM came out in 1992. I would have lost any bets on that. I associate it so much with my Jr and Sr years in high school. 93-95.
Now that I read that, I can see 1992.

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time (Music Related Again)
Also notices that 17 of the 24 albums are from a ten year span of 88-98. Not surprising given our age range.
