so here's my suggestion on how to end this thing
Get the judges to look at the teams as a festival line up with the song writer writing songs for the all star band for the final act.
Judges decide on which festival they would be most likley to buy tickets to.
Winner gets a custom title of "Music Producer Extrodinare" under their name
Well, you could help end it by making your final pick

haha wow, I put my final pick in a few days ago. Must not have loaded properly. My bad.
Edit: Go back a page jerk faces
The commish has spoken: you're last pick is overruled as you can't pick a Canadian band in the World category, hence, we've all been waiting for you to PICK AGAIN!
Good idea. My thought is to get out of the "classic rock" mode, and learn about some new music. Always looking for new albums to add to the collection.
Someone like Derek Trucks carries more weight if he is chosen from the same pool as Duane Allman

With the 350th pick (17th round) Girly's In-Box selects Jay Chou as her Wildcard Singer.
By far the best singer currently in Asia. Always changing styles and trying everything from rap to country. Always pushing the envelope and trying to bring the Chinese music back to life (cause it's pretty much crap right now)
With the 363th pick (18th round) Girly's In-Box selects the Hong Kong band Beyond in the Wildcard Band category.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_(band)From Jay Chou trying to being Chinese music back to life to the band that started it all in the late 80s.
They music was very unique and caught on right away. The most popular band in Asia was at it's peak in 1993 when their lead singer Wong Ka Kui died in an accident on one of those crazy Japanese game shows. I was a teenager and was devastated.

I think the draft is mostly done, so here are some other artists I had on my short list:
Female Singer - Bjork, Deborah Harry, Sleater-Kinney
Instrumental - John Coltrane
Canada - Sloan, Destroyer, Rheostatics
Songwriter - Tom Waits, Paul Westerberg, Lou Reed, Bruce Cockburn
Wildcard Band - Modest Mouse, TV On The Radio, The Flaming Lips, Replacements, Belly
US West - Pavement
World - Juluka/Savuka
UK - Smiths, New Order, Doves, The Cure
Band - Big Country
Yeah... I'm still pissed that I couldn't get rid of Bon Scott to free up a spot to snag 'ol Blue Eyes.
I can't believe Sinatra was never picked. When I came back from my hiatus, I never even imagined he's still be available. I guess I should have imagined it.

And you still didn't pick him!

I don't think that will work, based on previous discussions.

Music is extremely hard to judge.
I would say it is way too subjective.
But a recap of each team would be good.

A recap would be very nice.
This draft was to learn and share. It was great for me because I have been going through each pick and adding songs and "ablums" to my playlist that I didn't know before
