Tropical Island Music Artist Draft - FINIS

[RookieOfTheDay]

So I guess no one liked the idea of going 30...

I'm all for it...

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

I'm all for it...

Me too, unless there's some dramatic solution to the lockout very soon, which is seeming less likely by the day. Anyone who wants to go 30, chime in!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'm all for it...

If nothing else, it's a round number.

The speed metal guy picked Train? My head exploded. I have nothing kind to say about that band. G3, help me out here.

I'm the wrong person to ask. As much as we joked about me hating everything, and as true as it may be that there's relatively little on the draft board that would have made my own list, there are probably only two bands/artists picked so far that I legitimately cannot stand. Train is one of them.

Oh! The self-loathing!

Such an innocuous little band for full fledged loathing. You would kind of have to work at that.

Oh I didn't actually want you to say something kind, I wanted you to say horrible, horrible things in my proxy since nobody has to vote on your tastes

And I'm down for 30 or drafting until there's basketball.

Well, it doesn't help that they were at their biggest during the time I was driving a car in which my only music choices were the few crappy radio stations that Stockton picks up. "Meet Virginia" was pretty much inescapable for me.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

You're wrong.

 

[GoGoGadget]

Their innocuousness is part of the reason for the loathing, actually.

Well, what can I say? I happen to love a lot of their songs, and it's my island!

The fist time I heard them play was when they covered Aerosmith's Dream On on MTV Icon. And they were great, the best cover ever.

 

[jalfa]

As far as that 30 thing goes: yes, please! Would help me out immensely.

 

[NoBonus]

So it is a yes to 30 and henkel has dissappeared...

 

[Henkel]

Sorry for the hold up.

I say we keep this thing going until the lockout ends.

 

[NoBonus]

It's your pick!

Calm down there sparky.

 

[William Blake]

30 is ok, I felt bad for not including enough garage bands anyway.

 

[NoBonus]

Calm down there sparky.

Who you callin' Sparky? In the immortal words of Da, "You Sparky!"

 

[jalfa]

It's your pick

Also that let's keep it going indefinitely is a great idea. I'll be able to draft more German techno then.

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

Yeah mean, your list was way too mainstream.

 

[NoBonus]

My next selection is a drug-fueled rock band with no bass player... and the most important member died long ago...

The B-52's

I loved the B-52's with Ricky Wilson... his guitar playing was epic... he re-tuned his guitar all funny and removed the middle two strings... genious pop guitarist... and a true original... after he died, the B-52's went all MTV, but it was still good... but the old days were just awesome... they weren't just a party band, they were a band that partied on stage. So much energy...

 

[NoBonus]

For my next pick... a artist who sings about girls, and cars and hanging out with friends and living on the west coast... basically the Beach Boys...

I select: Sir Mix-A-Lot

Anyone who raps about William Land Park is cool with me... seriously, though, the album Swass is one of my all time favorite albums... by a lot.

 

[Henkel]

Yeah mean, your list was way too mainstream.

uh oh, looks like someone else is gonna get called a hipster.

Another really solid pick. I'm gonna have to come visit your island sometime.

Don't know if I can go with a "finally" on this one since I didn't really see anyone taking them, but I'm very happy to see them drafted. The B-52s would have been a very early pick for me.

 

[GoGoGadget]

David Byrne

Like this pick, too. His "Feelings" is a great album.

Blech.

If I had to hear "Love Shack" one more time growing up I may have been forced to hunt each and every one of those pissers down and stab them to death with a spork.

PLEASE READ...

now onto the 30 pick question.

Okay guys, I see there is a pretty significant groundswell to go 30 here, but as with the first extension I want to hear from most of our drafters before greenlighting another extension. No point in continuing on if we are dragging people along unwillingly who would rather be doing something else and end up defaulting and whatnot.

So everybody who comes across this message, please chime in if you haven't already. Should we extend to 30?

I do think regardless of the results of that question, 30 should probably be the last extension though. We've never gone longer than that in any draft, and after a while not only are we no longer dealing with scarcity, but it gets increasingly hard to sort lists for voting and whatnot.
