Battle of the Bands Draft

[vapid]

What do people think of this idea:

Draft and "matchups" go just like all the other drafts I run. The trick is each manager drafts a stable of musicians, and the matchups work like this:

"A" manager vs. "B" manager

Category 1: Hip Hop- "A" drafted Tupac so he submits a youtube link to: Hit 'em up. "B" drafted Biggie so he submits a youtube link to: Juicy

Category 2: Classic Rock- "A" drafted Pink Floyd, submits link to: Money, "B" drafted Led Zeppelin, submits link to Kashmir.

etc. etc.

The way you determine winners is the judges (or even make it open to all non-manager forum members) vote to see which song is better based on the genre.

You can only submit the same song once per matchup, but you can use an artist twice. So if you have the Beatles you can submit a song for the pop category and a song for the rock category.

The categories can be mixed up every "round".

I don't really have time to commish this but if someone wants to run with the idea I'd be interested to participate.

thats a good idea. the judging would be the tricky part. maybe have a pool of judges, 5 people or so.

anyone else interested in this?

Sure, I'll give it a try.

I'm totally drafting Led Zeppelin and linking to their worst song so they will get voted out ASAP. Although picking through their hundreds of shitty songs to find the single worst one will be an arduous task, I'm up for it.

Stairway? And they only ever recorded 88 songs.

[ROCSteady]

How in the all mighty eight layers of Hell is Stairway to Heaven Led Zepplin's worst song?


Are you just really sick of it since it is pretty much the most well known/well loved?

[pete's montreux]

It may be a good song in the context of all of rock and roll and music, but in terms compared to the rest of their catalog I'd rank it at 87, second to last.

It's terrible, It's pretentious, It's an overrated poppy ballad piece of shit. Only Hot Dog is a worse LZ song.

[ROCSteady]

Nothin wrong with a ballad-esque song by a genuine rock group.

That's a hell of a song, regardless of the labels. I never get tired of it

Since you're the expert, what are your top 5 or so Led songs?

I have most experience with Houses of the Holy and IV.

If it will affect this draft, just PM me or somethin, if you don't mind. I know you are familiar with their entire body of work

That version works very well IMO. Is that whole album good?
