I'm interested to see what you thought were better epics... I'm by no means a music expert, far from it... I would however, think of at least 5 or 10 songs that to me are better values for Classics.. anyway... interested to see how it plays out...

I am not unhappy to see Stairway off the board. I'm not sure I would have made it my #1 classic. And maybe not even my #1 from Zeppelin.

Stairway is probably a worthy top pick.
Lathum is on the clock with pick #1.2. I'll give him an hour to make a pick, otherwise I'll use the one he originally sent.

I can't think of a song that changed a generation of music more. I almost went with the thong song, it was a tough choice.

Agreed, but it was not on my list as #1 trendsetter.

A hard, hard thing to choose between by top picks. At the end of the day, I had to go with the American iconoclast, who probably stands as the most important musician the country has produced. This is his greatest achievement.
Classic - Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan - 1.3 Epic - Arena - Trendsetter - Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - |

Butter_of_69 is on the clock at 1.4.
I'll give him a little while to make a pick. However, the pick he sent is so strong that I don't mind making it for him if he's not around soon.

I have to say that I think you put Dylan on a much higher pedestal than many others.

This is where Maple Leafs comment about "knowing too much" about music could hurt you in this game comes into play.

Incidentally, I think Stairway to Heaven was in over half of the "top three" submissions I got.

I'm curious how the scoring will work. Will you do 10 points for Top votes in a category followed by 9 for 2nd, ect... or will it just be a contest to see who can get the most Top vote categories?

It's just a straight-up poll thread. The lists are shown and then the masses get to decide who has the best "team".

In the past we just did a poll. But I suspect that when the draft is over I'll consider various scoring methods, and go with whichever one gives me the best chance to win.

Mel how do you feel about the first three picks so far.
1 and 2 went right where I felt they could go. These songs are solid choices in their categories and if a team has a need at that position they are clear selections. Pick 3 for Like a Rolling Stone really blows me away. I had this one in the mid to late rounds and I'm baffelled. This pick will not sit well with the mainstream fans. I have to agree, you can hear those Giants fans booing already.

I'm surprised that folks are shocked by Like a Rolling Stone. I suppose I'll pick Chumbawumba's "Tubthumper" next. :P

Me too, actually. I wouldn't have it ranked at #1.3 but I think the odds of it still being there for your second round pick was less than 50/50.

My problem is that Stairway is already a better selection for that category. There are 8 categories that haven't been opened yet, you should have gone for the best in that category first.

No risks = no rewards. Though I'm truly baffled that this pick is seen as risky. I'd have not been surprised to see the song go #1 overall, and would have taken it there myself. |

Trade alert
vtbub and I have swapped picks in the first and second rounds. He gets picks 1.5 and 2.6, I get picks 1.7 and 2.4. vtbub is on the clock at 1.5

Interesting... not even my top Queen pick... I think I would have thrown "We are the Champions or "We Will Rock You" as Arena rock over this one here.

There are tons of Arena songs to chose from, I can think of many many songs out there that would be ahead of either of those.

Bob Dylan appears to be the Vince Young of this draft.

Perhaps for music buffs. For the general public, I don't think that you'd get a strong vote for Dylan. That's all I'm sayin'.
