Controversial pick? Maybe.
Better than Oasis? Definitely.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - NONLINEAR (191)
With only two picks left before the Free For All Apocalypse, I really struggled with this pick. I'm pretty sure this guy is so under the radar, despite how influential he has been on so many artists, that I could save him for Rd12. On the other hand, I love his music and who he is as a person (as much as you can "know" an artist from afar) that I NEED him in my cabin.
I discovered him fairly recently, in the grand scheme of things, which has been a blessing as I've sifted through his fairly extensive catalog. Folks that are way ahead of me in terms of knowledge of his work might have picked Bruised Orange, but I have found that his debut album really is sublime.

Prine was on my list too, HDO isn't in the draft so thought he'd be around...Genesis not so much.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - ENOCHROOT (192)
Ok, so this is a pick your personal favourites draft? I checked out the last few pages... some obviously personal album selections there.
I understand that everyone has their own taste in music, but some of your picks are insanely bad, considering what is still out there. But i can't say mine would be much better. I just ordered 5 vinyls from amazon, 2 classics - Rancid "...and out come the wolves" and The Flaming Lips "The Soft Bulletin" plus three new albums; Kurt vile and Courtney Barnett "Lotta Sea Lice", Craig Finn "We All want the same things", and The xx "I see You".
But if I had to choose a favourite album to draft, it would be "where you been" by Dinosaur Jr. #1 with a bullet. And how many of you know that album?

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - ENOCHROOT (192)
Hey, THC, the way it works is once an album is chosen, that artist is off the board. Dinosaur Jr. got picked pretty early on (Green Mind).
I love that Rancid album, too.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - ENOCHROOT (192)
Ah. Ok. I only looked at the last four or five pages. Makes sense now. And 'Green Mind' is just as good as 'Where You Been', if not better, but i prefer 'Where you Been' because it feels more like a complete album. Thumb is my favourite song of all time and it's on Green Mind, so whoever picked it gets a thumbs up from me.
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - ENOCHROOT (192)
No surprise that THC and bfj are compatible.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - ENOCHROOT (192)
I laughed.
I love Where You Been also, but Green Mind was my first taste of Dinosaur jr.

I was actually thinking about Genesis too but thought someone had picked Phil Collins and that took them out.
Looking back that was Paul Simon...

I’m sorry for the delay. I went to bed last night mulling over a few choices. One of the things I realized about my curation is that it doesn’t rock enough.
Well fuck that. NO MORE. Phil Lynott and the Angels from the Coast ride again.

All things must pass, but not this round without me taking this album.
If I had my own draft of ex-Beatles solo songs, I'm pretty sure I would take a handful of Lennon songs first, but the rest of the top 10 would be mostly Harrison, and I think this is definitely the best overall album any of them released.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - ENOCHROOT (192)
I kid you not. I went to sleep pondering Jailbreak, Hot Rats and All Things Must Pass. I’d have chosen Harrison had I not placed the qualifier of needing an LP that rocks out upon myself. Fantastic album.rass wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:19 am All things must pass, but not this round without me taking this album.

Class Plaintiffs
Vs
Mister d, administrator of the Sportsfrog Album Draft
Defendant
A CLASS ACTION
11 February 2018
ORDER OF PERMANENT INJUNCTION
The Supreme Court of The Sports Frog, after careful consideration of the facts, has decided in the matter named above the following injunctive relief for the plaintiffs in the class action.
This injunction is effective immediately, and to be enforced with the full force of law by mister d, administrator of the Sportsfrog Album Draft.
1.) Preliminary injunction of 11 February 2018 is lifted; the Sportsfrog Album Draft is to be resumed.
2.) Upon resumption of the draft, member and plaintiff Rush2112 has the option to revise his last selection, Round 2 pick 9 (27th overall) in light of today’s ruling. The time limit for his decision to let stand his pick or submit a different choice shall be the same time for regular picks in this draft, the clock beginning to run at the time of publication of this order.
3.) Some bands/groups will be considered to be synonymous with a single artist for purposes of this draft. Some other bands/groups will be defined as entities with bodies of work separate from that of the solo work of the members.
Addendum to 3.) The band The Cream is designated to be synonymous with the solo work of Eric Clapton, as laid forth below in section 8.)a.) of this order.
4.) An arbitrator will be assigned to make the distinction of which of these two classes a given band/group is assigned. The arbitrator shall have powers and duties defined below, in addition to making this distinction.
5.) Solo work of the members of the bands/groups assigned to the second classification above shall be considered separate from the work of the group, and subject to the draft separately. This order reverses the prior rule dictating selection of a group confers possession of all solo work of the members of said group. This order is necessary because of the varied work of many individuals both prior to and subsequent to their primary or most famous group work.
6.) Supergroups shall be defined by the arbitrator, and shall be either deemed ineligible for this draft or to be considered as entities with bodies of work separate from the other work of its members, and eligible for selection w/o attachment of that other work. The draft administrator and defendant, mister d, shall decide the question of eligibility of supergroups.
7.) The draft administrator and defendant, mister d, shall designate an arbitrator for this draft. The arbitrator will
a.) assign bands/groups into one of two classes, defined in item #5 above;
b.) designate certain bands/groups as supergroups;
c.) be available to any member of this draft for consultation and ruling on a prospective draft choice, via private message or email;
d.) provide the rationale for his/her decision publically, upon request from any member of this draft;
e.) not be subject to appeal of any of his/her rulings;
f.) chosen purely at the discretion of draft administrator mister d, and can be himself, Chief Justice Howard, or any other person of his choice;
g.) serve the duration of this draft, although the draft administrator shall have the authority to dismiss the arbitrator at any time, for any reason;
8.) This order sets forth six specific designations relating to draft choices already made, including the draft choice of Round 2 pick 9 subject to revision by Rush 2112. Those designations are as follow:
a.) The Cream is considered synonymous with the solo work of Eric Clapton
b.) The selection of The Beatles does not include the subsequent solo work of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison or Ringo Starr; those four individuals are subject to selection in this draft
c.) Led Zeppelin is not considered a supergroup and is eligible for this draft. The choice does not include the prior or subsequent work of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones or John Bonham
d.) The Traveling Wilburys and The Highwaymen are designated as supergroups; the selections of Johnny Cash and Tom Petty shall not include their work in these two supergroups.
e.) CSN/CSNY/Crosby and Nash are designated a group separate and distinct from the solo work of their members. The selection of Neil Young shall not include the work of CSNY, nor shall it preclude the eligibility of CSN/CSNY/Crosby and Nash for subsequent selection in this draft.
f.) The selection of Pearl Jam shall not impinge upon the eligibility of Neil Young’s subsequent selection. The Neil Young album entitled Mirror Ball, which featured the members of Pearl Jam, shall be considered in the solo work of Mr. Young. Sorry, Eddie.
This permanent injunction shall have the force of law, effective immediately upon publication, 11 February 2018. All hail the wise and powerful Chief Justice Howard!

So what's the deal with turning this into a free for all?
I kinda like the pace and reading everyone's selections for what it's worth.

I think John Lennon is what Jack White was trying to channel when he wrote that insipid Seven Nation Army. His (Lennon) stuff can be so damn anthemic when he wanted it to be. Also, Lennon was in the here and now, where Harrison was in the spiritual realm, if that makes sense.rass wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:19 am All things must pass, but not this round without me taking this album.

If everyone picked at your pace, we'd be mid-2nd round right now. Some people have less to do.

Whatever, it's your draft. I just like reading what everyone draws up when it'd their turn. I maintain I've enjoyed the pace of 4-5 picks per day.

I mean, it would be cool if folks would pop in and draft at a faster clip, but... I'd rather just keep it going as is. I've calmed the fuck down and can be patient for awhile longer.
ETA - With the caveat that if someone goes 24 hours (or thereabouts) without drafting, you just do what you did before. I could be wrong, but it feels like people aren't jockeying for coveted artists as much at this point.

Even if it drops to an album a day...It’s about appreciating re-discovering the deeper, more arcane artists soon enough anyway. That takes time..
