Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - BFJ (329th) + SKIP J-LO (324/325th)

[mister d]

You will be assigned Bon Jovi.

[Giff]

Did you see how fast Pruitt, AB and I posted? You stay right the fuck where you are.

[Pruitt]

Neil's best album, and I will not tolerate any dissent on this one.

As a soft folky, he is barely tolerable. But when he was at his noisy peak, he was absolutely incredible.

[Giff]

See! And I know AB's not stealing mine. I'm ready to post before I hit lunch!

[rass]

Did you see how fast Pruitt, AB and I posted? You stay right the fuck where you are.

How quick would you have been if I had gone Achtung Baby? Enoch swiped my pick, man.

[A_B]

Did you see how fast Pruitt, AB and I posted? You stay right the fuck where you are.

There's a good chance I slow play it cause Mr. D shit on my pick.

[rass]

So would CSN&Y still be allowed or what?

[mister d]

So would CSN&Y still be allowed or what?

I'll take opinions on this one. I'd lean yes because its not just a secondary NY vehicle, but if someone feels really strongly about ruling out supergroups I'd get that too.

[Rush2112]

Well if we're outlawing supergroups than the first overall pick would be null.

[A_B]

Welcome to the jungle, motherfuckers.

[mister d]

Well if we're outlawing supergroups than the first overall pick would be null.

Ehhh ... LZ is an entity unto itself. I'm talking about the side piece Derek & the Dominos or Traveling Wilbury's stuff where no one can make an argument that band is _______'s defining musical contribution. CSNY is a blind spot for me, hence soliciting opinions.

[P.D.X.]

So would CSN&Y still be allowed or what?

I'd say yes since Y was not *the* frontman.

[Ryan]

Good job AB. My 3rd choice. Probably would have taken it if I considered the whole cabin idea literally.

[rass]

I wouldn't outlaw super groups, but I guess we just need to know if individuals can be recycled. This is as close as you got to a rule:

I need time to think about Travelling Wilburys. That's a good one. I'm thinking its allowed as an independent alternative as no one makes up greater than 50% of them plus another band or solo project.

If that meant that both Dylan and the Wilburys are viable options, then I guess CSN&Y should still be OK. But not CSN and CSN&Y?

[mister d]

I'm ready to rule on the Wilbury's.

OUT!!!!!!!

Feels too much like gaming the system when three members have already been picked in their "most famous" forms.

[Ryan]

(Turns "Jet" up to stupid volume)
(Waits for ruling)

[mister d]

Temple of the Dog is also out.

[rass]

Ok. So the question I have is would the Willbury's have been allowed if they were picked before The Beatles/Dylan/Petty?

[mister d]

Sure. If you're the type of asshole who wants to ruin the entire game by taking a supergroup to invalidate four other bigger artists/groups, go for it.

[Ryan]

Temple of the Dog is also out.

I'm goin' angryyyyyyy

[Giff]

I’m at lunch LOL.

[rass]

Sure. If you're the type of asshole who wants to ruin the entire game by taking a supergroup to invalidate four other bigger artists/groups, go for it.

I think we just needed to establish firmly that it goes both ways.

As for CSN&Y, I'm with PDX but we're not the kingmakers here.

[P.D.X.]

I’m at lunch LOL.

Stealing bread, probably.

[mister d]

As for CSN&Y, I'm with PDX but we're not the kingmakers here.

My issue is Crosby; I have no idea what people would consider him best known for. Like I know him best from CSN because his name is in it, but if you tell me The Byrds should be #1 for him, I'd think we should rule out CSN. I just don't fucking know, man. Lots of stress.

[duff]

Nice pick AB. It was in a handful of picks for the second round.

[rass]

As for CSN&Y, I'm with PDX but we're not the kingmakers here.

Because Young was already picked?

Otherwise I don't think ruling out CSN because The Byrds exist is fair. To me the debate should be whether both The Byrds and CSN would be allowed, not one or the other.

[Jerloma]

Welcome to the jungle, motherfuckers.

I guess it was never coming back to me you're a twat anyway.

[mister d]

Otherwise I don't think ruling out CSN because The Byrds exist is fair. To me the debate should be whether both The Byrds and CSN would be allowed, not one or the other.

Right, this is what I'm asking. I know Vedder et all are Pearl Jam and Cornell is Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog was a side. I don't know how The Byrds and CSN are related. If its just two independent phases of Crosby's career versus CSN being something he did on the side while he also consistently did other things, both should be included.

[rass]

OK, I don't have an answer for you but that seems fair at least.

[Ryan]

Were I in charge, I'd allow anything that wasn't

A: Solo project from previously selected band or vice-versa
B: Side project involving multiple previously selected band members

[mister d]

Wouldn't someone picking The Byrds ahead of CSNY cause problem B?

[Ryan]

How many common links are between them again?

[mister d]

C(Byrds)SN&Y(solo)

[mister d]

Doesn't Giff take 2 hour drinking lunches on Fridays?

[rass]

Maybe someone else could make his pick for him, just this once. If it goes well, maybe next round Giff and his proxy could work on his pick in tandem.

[Ryan]

Kingston Trio...Seven Mary Three...Third Eye Blind...

[mister d]

We are finishing the 2nd round before sundown (PST).

[Nonlinear FC]

This was the album of choice my senior year in high school. Full Moon Fever was great, but Wildflowers just holds a special place in my heart. I know Mary Jane's Last Dance wasn't on this album, but it was great when they played it on the It's Good to Be King Tour. Sure the Market Square in the song isn't Market Square Arena, but that is where we were and the place exploded. She was an Indiana girl.

FUCK

[Giff]

10 minutes

[Giff]

Only the best hip hop album of all-time.

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
