Again, finally.

If your favorite season of The Wire was the second, you'll like Treme. If, however, you thought the second season of The Wire was pointless and meandering and just wanted the show to get back to gangsters shooting each other, you'll probably hate Treme. The pace is definitely more of a slow...

No, no, no. As someone with a Bunk avatar, you should know that anyone from "The Wire" is always from "The Wire." Forever. And in all contexts. Antoine Batiste and Albert Lambreaux are really Bunk and Freamon in disguise, for example. And Chalky White? Omar with a time machine.

Hate to bring in more armchair snark, but ugh to the Oasis pick. Ugh, ugh, ugh. Knew they were going to end up going at some point, but still... ugh. Never got the appeal when they were big, and certainly don't get the appeal now that they seem to have suddenly become respected/important in the...

It's funny. I didn't love that song as a kid (didn't hate it, either), but I kind of love it now. Pure nostalgic gold.

I would have done exactly this, but differently. That's all I'm saying without spoilers.

Their absence was starting to drive me nutty.

Like the Cat Power choice, by the way, but I'm really surprised to see her go before a different artist with a number of similar qualities.

Aaaaaaaand, finally, all of what would have been my top three have been taken.

Words cannot express how awesome I find both of these picks. Don't know if The Monkees would have made my top 20, but I'm damn happy to see them picked. And Cake almost certainly would have been in my top five.

Uh... to make some women swoon. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with how little of the adult contemporary genre I can stomach in general, but I just don't get the Groban thing. Impressive voice, technically, but with all the flavor of white bread soaked in water.

I appreciate the blatant pandering, but I would have done it a different way.

Again, finally.

The aforementioned "him" is easy to classify for me. He makes awesome music. Why bother with anything more than that?

Yay!! Wasn't sure they were going to get picked.

Also, there is a disparity that exists within the artists/bands drafted so far that I have promised not to point out, but I don't know how much longer I can go without calling attention to it. Y'all are killing me on this one. Killing me.

The Sinatra pick annoys me for a very specific reason that I can't reveal due to the nature of the draft, but... suffice to say, you got it wrong.

I agree. Doesn't help that it was a devious bugger by so egregiously sampling a good song. Every time it came on the radio there were those few seconds of happiness when you thought they were playing RHCP's "Pretty Little Ditty," but then Shifty Shellshock (no, seriously, Shifty Shellshock)...

Great pick. He works rotoscoped, too:

Agreed. Emphatically.
