Makes more sense to haggle it out quietly. Maybe two players want to veto and they get into a Mexican standoff to see who blinks first.

You place a top 300 band in the top 30 and have the nerve to criticize?

Indeed. You and Head clamored for only 30 and were like "you only get five picks. Better make em count".

So we get Free, and then the Beatles. :P

The Beatles troll play was predictable here though. I had a “Beatles are overrated” phase but their Rubber Soul-Let It Be run is kinda undeniable for me now.

even though we're doing a draft excluding the 90s here, i still take that decade into account when i rank bands.

I'm not going into this draft trying to make it look like a top rock bands list from Rolling Stone magazine. We all have our favorites that differ greatly and they're gonna be all over the place.
