Red Mosquito

This will be a best decade tournament--6 tournaments in one. We will have a tournament for the 60s, 70, 80s, 90s, and 2000s (2000-2009). The top two teams of each decade will face each other in the final tournament.

Each team for each decade will draft 10 songs in the traditional snake style. You cannot draft multiple songs from the same artist/group, but you can take songs from the same artist across multiple projects (so Eric Clapton solo and Cream would be fine)

8 hour time limits on weekends. 6 on weekdays. To keep things moving every time your turn is skipped (after the first) one hour comes off your time limit.


One team per decade but you can participate in as many decades as you want

Each tournament is separate, so drafting an artist from one decade does not invalidate them for another

Alex just pm'd me. He takes lenny.

Oh. And I'm in!

Do Neil Young and his like 18 different bands each count separately? ie Neil Young solo, Neil Young and the Stray Gators, Neil Young and the Santa Monica Flyers, Neil and the Horse, etc

I'm just gonna save you the trouble, buddy. You can sign me up for every single one of these automatic-style. I'm in!

In. Even if the Minstrel was tapering off, jesus, stuff like "Bad Breath, the Crane of Chowder" still kills me. It's like the late 19th century version of Tree of Life (2011).

Welcome to the game, Mr. Limb (2014)

I wanna play too.

If Neil Young is really the star of the band then it's the same group. But if it was like a crosby, stills, nash, and young thing that would be separate.

This should just be a 70s Neil Young tournament.

IN!

Yes! Pick me!

In

You know I'm in.

okay, now im donating my spot to Lament

Plenty of great obscurities from this decade. Count me in for another first-round knockout!
