I hadn't really thought about it until now. Yet it's interesting because the band that I think would make the best album would probably be different from the band that I thought would put on the best live show.
I also hadn't considered someone playing multiple instruments on multiple tracks on an album. I haven't listened to albums of any kind in a long time save for long rides to fests on occaision so I'm a little skewed in my judgement here
Yea, I don't really care about that. I'm more worried that some people are trying to add an extra band member or trying to cut and add to make their band better. You should just stick with who you drafted.
Also, I'm not saying that I want to specifically draft extra members. Just that every person in my band has played with backing horns extensively, and that they would most definitely use them in the creation of their music.
And I kinda agree with you that the wavier round is a bit dumb.
So instead drafting an actual horn player I could have just drafted Keith Richards and assumed I got Bobby keys too since he played so extensively on stones records?
I assumed we were putting together a live band for like a superjam. If we get all the trappings of a studio for this hypothetical "sound" we're creating, ID just take Phil Spector, Brian eno, and Alan Parsons and be done with it. Then I get any sound I want regardless of how many additional musicians I'd need, because of use in previous recordings. :wank wank:

Yeah I totally see your point and we definitely should of clarified all this before the draft. I seriously considered drafting a horn player, but with the way the rules were set up (the fact that we had to draft the 4 core positions) we could only draft a maximum of 2 horns players. And I really wanted Herbie in my band, so in my case I could only draft 1 at most, when in reality, I know the guys in my band would put together a horn section.
And I guess I just saw it different from you in assuming that we were judging these hypothetical bands by both their potential albums and potential live shows. When we said to 'build a band' that's just what I thought we were talking about, not 'build a superjam'.
So again, I sincerely apologize for cheating, but quite frankly, it's not going to stop me or my band from stretching the rule book. Besides what would a rock and roll band be if they weren't allowed to break the rules every now and then.

Nah, not cheating. As for the rest very true, have to push the limits
Given that these performances/recordings are taking place completely and entirely in our imaginations, I think it's silly to try and put stipulations on what one is imagining. No one's composing entire songs here, and no one would be able to listen to what anyone's imagining regardless. I'm not drafting a sound engineer - does that mean my band's sound is going to be terribly mixed? There's no light guy - does that mean that my band's going to be performing under a still white light? If I draft one guitarist, does that mean I can't double-track the guitar in my completely imaginary recording session for my completely imaginary band? I feel like some people are being unnecessarily rigid.
Draft some people and you get a general idea for what it's going to sound like...I don't think it needs to be much more complicated than that.
My band: Modern Industry Vocals-PJ Harvey (lead vocals) Guitar-Josh Homme (also backing vocals) Guitar-Jack White (also backing vocals) Guitar-Neil Young (also songwriter, vocals) Bass-Paul McCartney ( also songwriter, vocals,piano) Drums-Keith Moon
What does this band sound like? Fucking Rock. Lead by 2 of the greatest songwriters of all time. 2 of the best guitarists of our time join Uncle Neil in this three pronged guitar attack. Wailing away on the drums is a fucking animal Keith Moon. PJ Harvey handles the lead vocals. Can she hang with these boys? Damn right she can. I'd like to see you question her. But this band is not just fierce all the time, they can definitely slow it down and come up with the some of the most beautiful sounds ever made, with some tremendous melodes. They can do it all.
For my 6th pick, I choose former drummer for Prince, pop-star, and all around force of nature Sheila E.
With this pick I am moving Questlove to be my band's DJ, and also will contribute his rapping skills to the vocals of the band. My band will be the ultimate pop band, funky songs that make you want to dance, and can't get out of your head.
Forces of Nature Michael Jackson - vocals, frontman Questlove - band DJ, vocals/MC Nile Rodgers - guitar/producer Stevie Wonder - keys/vocals Sheila E - drums/vocals Meshell Ndegeocello - bass/vocals
