I don' think Wilco has been taken. I love Summer Teeth.
Aww, you're right! I thought Yankee Hotel Foxtrot had been taken for some reason. That's OK - I think fewer people will have heard Loose Fur than Wilco, so I'm happy to stick with it.
I'm a little confused. I thought if a GM picked an artist they couldn't pick that artist again but the rest of the GM's could. Is that not the case? The previous posts make it sound like if an artist is picked then that particular artist cannot be chosen again by anyone.

I believe you are correct.
Each GM can only pick an artist once, but an artist can be picked by multiple GMs (just not the same album). Radiohead has already been picked twice, for example.

Thanks! You're right, I had forgotten Radiohead has been picked twice.
With my second, I select in the category of “Album 1994-1996”, Christy Moore's 1994 release Christy Moore Live At The Point .

Went obscure last pick will now hit a much more mainstream popular act.
My favorite REM album, Life's Rich Pageant.
I am sure I don't need to describe the band to anyone, but they are Berry, Buck, Mills, and Stipe.

Probably my favorite REM record, though Document would be a very close 2nd.
Always amazed at how many people don't know anything of REM before Losing My Religion.

For the second round selection, The Slippery Grooves also goes for a well-known choice with their 1993 album for placement in the Album 1991-1993 category, Smashing Pumpkins - "Siamese Dream"
Amazon.com essential recording
An introductory drum roll drops out and is replaced by a single suspended electric guitar, which is then paralleled by a snare, filled in with the bass, and--crash!--"Cherub Rock," the opening track, is enveloped in an explosion of metal guitar. So the journey begins. This album is pre-experimentation vintage Pumpkins. Produced by Butch Vig (Garbage, Sonic Youth, Nirvana's Nevermind), Siamese Dream is first about guitars. Lots and lots of guitars. A very close second is Jimmy Chamberlain's unquestionably excellent power drumming. Throughout each song, Billy Corgan delivers angsty lyrics in his signature breathy whine. "Disarm" is a nice intermission halfway though the album. As the title of the song suggests, it throws the listener into a different mood with its full string arrangements and radiant orchestral chimes. But then it is back to the aural masochism--a pain that rarely sounds so sweet. --Beth Bessmer
Sorry, too lazy to write my own summary for this album, but I will say it was an important album in my personal life and never stays on the shelf too long before I feel the need to play it again. What more reason is needed to pick it in this draft?
P.S. Mayonaise rules!

True. Many people are probably not aware of what a great rock and roll band they are. Listen to Begin the Begin and These Days to start off Life's Rich Pageant, and it would likely shock those conditioned to Everybody Hurts and Night swimming.
Alright, for my 2nd pick, from the Blues category...
Howlin' Wolf - Moanin' at the Moon
Quote:
Unlike many other blues musicians, after he left his impoverished childhood to begin a musical career, Howlin' Wolf was always financially successful. Having already achieved a measure of success in Memphis, he described himself as "the onliest one to drive himself up from the Delta" to Chicago, which he did, in his own car on the Blues Highway and with four thousand dollars in his pocket, a rare distinction for a black blues man of the time. In his early career, this was the result of his musical popularity and his ability to avoid the pitfalls of alcohol, gambling, and the various dangers inherent in what are vaguely described as "loose women", to which so many of his peers fell prey. Though functionally illiterate into his 40s, Burnett eventually returned to school, first to earn a G.E.D., and later to study accounting and other business courses aimed to help his business career.
What a legend. Listening to this guy was such a key component in my education in rock and roll. Just listening to him, you can detect his influence in so many present artists. Awesome stage presence and by all accounts, a pretty decent guy. This guy was Tom Waits before Tom Waits was Tom Waits.
True. Many people are probably not aware of what a great rock and roll band they are. Listen to Begin the Begin and These Days to start off Life's Rich Pageant, and it would likely shock those conditioned to Everybody Hurts and Night swimming.
My favorite REM tune is Oddfellows Local 151. They are definitely a great rock band.
