Absolutely pathetic part deux
Rules of the Music Draft
1. Everynight for 10 days straight at midnight eastern, a new round starts.
2. You get to pick an album once per day during these 10 days.
3. Once an album gets picked, no one else can pick that album. This includes picking something that has an alternate version of the said album (bonus Japanese tracks, alternate track listings or say you pick The Clash's self titled album, you technically get both the UK and the US versions of the album).
4. Once you pick an album by a certain band or artist, you can no longer pick anything else from that said band or artist. For example, you can't pick 2 Lou Reed albums. However, anyone else can pick other Lou Reed records that haven't been picked.
5. No Greatest Hits / Anthology Sets / Single Collections / B-Sides Collections / Live Greatest Hits however you can pick albums that are great in length (like some albums were meant to be on three CDs like Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs) and you can pick live albums that was supposed to be in cannon of their albums (like Mc5's Kick Out the Jams).
6. If you miss a day, then the next day you can pick 2 albums. You can do this up to the final round which means you could technically not pick anything until the 10th day and then on the 10th day, pick 10 albums.
7. When you pick your album, just write the band or artist's name and the album title. You can put album art and other ways to hype your pick in another post.
8. There is no draft order so it is first come first served at midnight eastern. If you pick an album that has already been picked, start a new post to pick another album. No editing is allowed when picking albums.
9. At the end of the draft, a new thread will be made that is the tournament. The way the tournament is to be played is yet to be determined but is leaning towards a double elimation bracket.
10. If you get banned for whatever reason (c'mon, just don't say something stupid on the Gaming side), your list to whatever point you got before getting banned will be your list.
11 If you aren't on the list below, you can still participate. We have a slot open to do a full scale bracket.
12. This thread will hold all rounds of the draft and I will update the OP as much as I can with everyone's list.
13. If you pick something that doesn't fit the rules, we will just be like, "Dude, you can't pick that" and you can pick something else.
Tips!
You can play this game either way, pick albums that you love or pick albums that you think GAF will want to vote for. Whatever way you chose, it is just meant to be fun and to stir up music discussion among people who love music. You should for sure pick an album that you feel is going to be high in demand first if you can (like say a Beatles album)over say some great krautrock record that might not be touched upon until the 8th round. Also, I suggest with going a wide variety of genres.
