I can see the confusion because I'm pretty sure they combined them all into a medley for Songs in the Key of Springfield.

I'll add a rule clarification to the header post, something like: "For musicals or other features containing multiple songs, you may only select one per pick."
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 dicier from here on out.

Fact: Dr Zeus did not make it as one of the three I considered after Monorail.

I'm going to post my full list after the draft is over. There are some obscure ones on there; I'm carefully considering whether a song that's 2 lines long is worth picking at any point (even in Round 4).

Same. There's one other big one that I'd be really surprised if it doesn't get drafted in the next 3 picks.

Depending how this goes, I'd probably be up for adding 1 or 2 more rounds. The "obscure" ones are the gems.

We're all such fucking dorks, keeping our preferences to ourselves.

I'm willing to expand it to six rounds; we'll see how everyone feels.

I really don't have one either. Just a mental list of a handful, so far.

I tried just brainstorming songs off the top of my head, and somehow I forgot "We Do." A list is essential.

Dr. Zeus was not one of my first round considerations. The first two were, and there are three more I really want for my first two picks.

Just so everybody knows: trag has until 12:14AM Eastern Time Tuesday (so the middle of the night) to make his pick; if he doesn't, Sarge can leapfrog him, and Jorge picks after Sarge...etc. I've sent him a PM but it's still in the Outbox, so I don't think he's visited the board yet.
EDIT: It's 2:14AM Eastern Time, since the Board Clock is apparently off an hour from my time.
EDIT 2: It's actually 12:14AM Eastern, because I am bad at math.

Did you never turn off DST for the board?
