I don't text either, my wife just goes around saying "I heart" everything. And for the record she's not 15.

I mean if an artist records a 30 minute extended live version of a 3 minute song from their first album, those are two completely different songs.
Same title, same song.

What about when an artist re-imagines an earlier song with a new title, but its still basically the same song, just updated for modern times? But it has a new title, so its a new song, right?
Different title, different song.
(this one may be over ridden in extreme circumstances)

What about a band that does a live version of 2-3 songs rolled into one (happens quite a lot)... are all the originals off the table after that?
I see the value in allowing segue's/medley's, and actually thought about it a bit and how guidelines could be put forth. I ended up deciding that it would get too confusing and in a way deviates from the spirit of the thread. No segue's will be permitted, single tracks only please. I will add that one of my picks would have been a segue, if we allowed them.

If you pick such and such song from such and such concert one pick, then you can pick the next segue'd song next pick as long as noone else has picked any version of either song by the same artist. That is fair. 1 pick, 1 song, but voters will still consider it as a segue. This applies to live versions only, studio medleys are out.

Only three spots left!

Well if you were gonna sign up for this draft you shouldve had some good knowledge of what to pick! haha....Heres a tip. Don't discredit songs just because you don't like them, or they are too "girlie". Many of the all time great singles are from women.

If this one goes anything like the other music draft, I think you'll quickly find most everybody picking for their own personal preference rather than trying to collect critical accalimed darlings. Of course if the twain can be combined... :p

Oh and when i mean to "girlie" im saying if you want to win dont be afraid to choose like a Britney Spears song for instance....(I.E. not my actual choice, avoid Britney Spears if possible).....Haha.
