I actually listened to a bunch of my picks within the last month anyway, so that would be perfectly fine. Definitely influenced what I took. And if I had to pick a single desert island release, Join the Dots wouldn't be bad choice.

Teddy Flair you have two picks remaining: rock/pop/country and live. these are the last picks before we put up the poll, please try and pick them today if you can. thanks!
nice value for round 12. masta killa is an underappreciate member of the wu-tang IMO. IIRC this album is solid, classic wu-tang sound. i'd forgotten about it and hadn't listened in forever, gunna start the morning with it now.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised no one took Ashes of the Wake.
had i been participating it would've at least been on my list. i don't love lamb of god but i'm a thrash metal guy it was nice seeing somebody trying to carry that torch, even if the genre's most exciting albums were behind it.

while we wait on teddy, anyone have any thoughts or critiques on the draft?
1. did you enjoy the draft? 2. any rules you didn't like? 3. any categories you didn't like or found overly confusing? 4. suggestions for new categories? 5. would you be interested in doing another similar draft? 6. if so, suggestions for future years? 7. are you OK with using US release date or should we just do the initial release date?
i enjoyed the draft, it was fun seeing everyone's picks and analyzing everyone's strategy, and i'd like to curate another one. personally i'd like to continue to keep the draft smallish, not too many categories, not too many people. not saying 12 categories and 12 people is a hard limit, we could expand it some, but i'd rather not have it be 50 and 50 for example.

This draft was fun. The only initial thought I have is that pop should have it’s own standalone category. Going to try and look for other years that would work good.

my only issue with pop having it's own category is how broadly it could be interpreted. i know when we say "pop" a certain sound comes up in our heads, but really pop could be defined as almost any 2-4 minute long song with a verse-chorus-verse type structure that is at least somewhat danceable or at best makes your head bob.
having said that i'd be fine with pop in it's own category, we'd just have to prepared to be generous with people's picks.

Yeah more broadly it can be defined as that but the pop genre is more strict than that. Of course there’s cross-overs to different genres that pop has (pop rock, pop rap, etc.) but that’s the case with every other genre as well. If we define it as the pop genre (which I think the rules already do) everyone would know what it meant and it’d work out fine.

I enjoyed this one very much. Definitely thought the smaller size kept it more fun. I would do one again depending on the year. I wouldn’t be a good participant for more recent years.
