I am down for another draft.

Team Columbia House is in

I'm always up for a draft.

With the first selection, I choose the draft itself. Draftception.

I'm in. Sounds like a good way to learn a little bit more about an area I admit to be a novice compared to most of you.

Give me the Everglades.

In.

I'm in....

Why do you have to pick a Coldplay album at all?

So once someone picks an album, that artist is off the board for everyone?

Never change.

Correct. Adds a little extra wrinkle.

Okay, then why would you pick a Coldplay album at 1.1? This isn't at all like the Helen Mirren thing.

I'm in contingent on Jerloma getting the first pick.

A draft of albums? Yeah I’m down with that.

Didn’t we do a draft of all-star musicians to form a band once? Like 12 or so years ago? I’m pretty sure that’s 120 in internet years though..

I have a deep core belief, one that I cannot lie to myself about, that this flew so far over your head it might have bounced off god.

We're not on the list.

Let's go do our own thing.

Fuckers.

I'm in. But, it will be easy for old guys (and guys who like old music, like Rush), because we'll pick artists the rest of you will shun.

Would there be categories, or just leave it up to a full range? Also goes without saying, but no greatest hits or compilation albums, right?

Wide open, no category limitations. First person to try a greatest hits or live album gets kicked out.

Decided to cap at 19. 3 more spots.

Trades? Like could I drop off the record hints to Peter King that I'm interested in taking a shitty album by a great band just to get a great trade offer from a desperate super fan?

I see we've been added!

I'd be tempted to do a list of LPs that employ an acceptable usage of auto-tune (I've yet to come across one, but I suppose that'd be a rabbit hole I'd jump into in an effort to better mankind)...

Great lyric. Chris Martin rules.

Also in contingent on me getting the first pick.

Wants to be sure to get that Minchin album.

You gotta admit though, La Vida Vida is a great tune.

Better clarify if permutations of an artist's name is considered a different band (i.e. Jimi Hendrix vs. Jimi Hendrix Experience, etc.).

I think we'd err on the side as "counts as one band" to avoid some dipshitty "two of the four members had died so this is really a different band" nonsense. Ryan Adams and Ryan Adams + the Cardinals would all be the same.

Unless anyone here is a big fucking dork who objects, draft order will be random for spots 2-19 with J-Lo getting pick 1-1. Snake draft.

Was there ever actually an album, or just a single? What I'm saying is that I liked the TW joke.

THRILLER WOULD BE TANGIBLY DIFFERENT THAN USA FOR AFRICA YOU DICKS!
