damn nice choice by the way Lament, it was the last one in my original top 10 that was still available
Thanks! It's one of my all time favorites as well and and it got to the point where I (apparently correctly) didn't think it'd get back to me if I passed on it again.

yep, it would have been my next pick for sure, i tossed around the idea of another song or 2 this round and hope it got back again for the 7th, but then a few picks before you i decided undone was the one.

I hate when it stalls near my pick. I start arguing with myself.

This is going to be my most difficult pick to make.

Are of my picks so far are from my top 10. Figuring out how i want to round this playlist out is pissing me off.

The playlist element makes it a lot tougher. I'm not a huge fan of it.

Probably considering whats left but im sure it would have dropped off the board this round or the next. If you really wanted it it was a decent round to snag it.

i think the playlist part is more for the ones drafting the teams, to give us something different to think about when drafting, but if the voters want to take that into account when voting then they can. but the voters can vote on the group of songs or how the play list works

I think it's kind of stupid too, but whatever.

I like the idea of being able to rearrange your list of songs to look the most appealing, but still just looking at them as a list of songs. A team.

i dont think most people will take this time to make the play list and actually listen to the songs in that order before voting, so im sure most of the voting will just be by how much they like each song

I like the playlist aspect because i would like to see how many people come up with a running theme or storyline.

I don't know about the voting. We had one of these about a year or so ago on the old board and it was by tracklist. I remember people commenting on how teams' tracklist flowed/didn't flow and voted yay or nay because of how the songs were arranged.
