First of all, Canyonero was picked in the second round.cutuphalfdead wrote:That's because none of them are worth picking in the first round.Simple Torture wrote:Of the first 10 picks, only 7 were on my big board (including the ones I took)--I never considered Canyonero, the Sonic Youth theme, or Drop Da Bomb.
Second of all, Canyonero is one of the best things the simpsons has ever done.

PS - So far, my 40+ song power rankings have matched up with the first three picks exactly. I feel like it's going to get dickier from here on out.

S/T, I'm sorry to keep offering suggestions/requests, but could you maybe take out the draft order (round 2, 3, 4, etc) in the header post and use that space for a more centrally located running list of what's been taken so far.

It feels invasive.
Also, while the stonecutters theme was a great choice, it was the simpsons equivalent of taking Country Feedback as your first pick. We'll learn if you're bringing a spoon to a knife fight soon enough.
