I'll usually try and balance my personal preferences with what I think the board likes (so I wouldn't draft world wide suicide as an early pick even though its' one of my favorite songs). I'm not playing games here. These will just be the songs that I love.

I'm looking forward to this tournament because I have no idea what songs the board favors in the REM catalog. So I can't play that game like I can in the PJ Forum. There's terror, but also freedom in that. This will really be all about what songs I like and what songs I want on my team.
Unencumbered, bitches! (No, that's not my first pick. Although, it could very well be an REM song title)

I'm gonna paint a blue stripe across my face like Stipe every time it's my turn to pick.

He would've been a better pick. But something tells me I still would've been the only person to vote for you. I think RM just wasn't ready...
Or RM decided it wasn't gonna vote for you no matter what.

OOOOOh! Yeah, Stip, that would have been a WAY better choice for your team. Probably would have swayed me, actually.

i obviously prefer mills as a musician. Believe it or not I thought McCartney probably had a stronger background in the funk/rock hybrid I was going for. At the very least he played with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson
