Thanks. You can hear a lot of Freddie in how SRV sounds. Stevie Ray would always credit King as a big influence on his sound and style.

I'd only take Cuomo off the board with Weezer.

The others aren't that bad. Yes, the first two are their best, but don't dismiss all the others like that.

I would’ve gotten this artist in the point where we sign undrafted free agents, but this artist, and this album, totally deserve to be drafted.

Like Mike Trout, this artist has been at the top of the game consistently since 2012. I drafted hip-hop from the 80s and the 90s, but this man is the heavyweight champ of the rap game for the last 4 or 5 years, and I can legitimately see him being the GOAT when all is said and done. His debut might have better songs, his most recent might’ve had a better political target, but the combination of funk and soul elements makes me think this will be viewed in time as the Pet Sounds of hip hop.

With the 214th pick, the Stabbin Cabin will spin Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp A Butterfly

Great choice. If you get the chance to see him live, do it.

People yelled at the idea so I'm just going to keep stringing it out with the same structure until it dies or all the artists are picked.

Seconded.

Like the Joe Jackson, but Kiss is on the same level as the Mini Pops.

Change of plans. I went through the results twice, and I didn't see The Temptations. I don't know if this is their best album, but it's worth it to me to make sure I get "Just My Imagination", a top 15 all-time song for me.

The Temptations, Solid Rock.

Man. Look at those capes. 1971 in full effect.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:30 pm

I debated the Temptations for almost every pick, but I just couldn't choose a studio album that had everything I wanted.

And...just looking at the track listing...that doesn't have "Just my Imagination" on it.

If chedda take 58 minutes to draft Bryan Adams' Reckless this round I say we shut it down.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:36 pm

Sorry. Total brain fart. I was looking at that other album, but I meant The Sky's the Limit.

If commissioner Delaware is cool, I'd like to switch to this one. I totally was going for this one, then looked at some other albums of theirs on Wikipedia, and then got confused. If it's "on the board and then it's in", then so be it.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:39 pm

I also meant "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion".

Just a reminder that this exists:

The only thing is that somehow alpha is off by one, so...

King Crimson - Discipline

I know there are other albums with the original lineups that are more popular, but this was my first exposure to them and I really dig this record.

I was thinking about that very album today.

Saw them in concert supporting that album, and they were phenomenal.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Mar 22, 2018 9:37 pm

I have about a half dozen in queue, none of which I'd expect will be gone before my next pick, but assuming all are at equal risk, this would mess up the overall collection the most. Pre-pivot Tegan & Sara were pretty great and I'd like my girls to listen to them but only if I can make them believe they stopped making music around 2010.

Tell them they got pregnant and had to be mommies.
