Tonight's pick is probably too soon in the draft but you can never tell.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that way about a few of my previous picks. Shoulda taken Bee Thousand. Ugh.

Oh well. I'm either going hip hop or a pretty big indie rock album tonight.

Ugh, I've no clue what I'm doing tonight. The next pick on my Mel Kiper's Big Board is freaking me out because it's too similar to my last pick, but too big of a name not to go soon. After that, it's all crappy stuff I love that no one else in their right mind would pick.

I think I might go jazz tonight, just to expand the genres of my team a little.

Plenty of others to pick from! Kind of Blue isn't even my favorite Miles album. Maybe I'm crazy.

Oh sure, there's plenty of stuff still out there. Actually, I might wait another round for jazz.

Or... I might not. Oh the suspense!

When you said you were going 80's tonight, I KNEW this would be your pick. I considered it, too, but I'm glad that you went for it.

I feel stupid putting up krautrock two days in a row but this just feels right (probably because it is one of my all time favorite albums, and what I think is probably the best krautrock album of all):

#6:
NEU! - NEU!


Glad to see Suicide and Black Saint put out there.

Not my favorite, that would be Somewhere in Time, but it is their most well known and most influential so that's why I went with it.

I think I actually like this more than any MM record. Either that, or it's an extremely close runner-up to This Is a Long Drive...

I'm partial to Powerslave, but yeah, Number of the Beast is the one to go with.

Apparently you're a fan of Isaac's depressed/drugged-up years. For shame!

Yeah, I am not sure on this issue actually and didn't think about allowing artists who change their names during their career. I am leaning towards you couldn't right now.

You picked my all time favorite record dude. Congratuations.

P.s. I wasn't too sure if you were going to pick the other "Let It Be" or perhaps something from the arcade of zen actually.
