Honestly, the core of our draft have been focused on the base players as each one was getting picked off. Which allowed me to then focus on the Guitar (outside of Hendrix and Kirk being picked) and I frankly can't stand Page's playing.... I respect him 100% but for some reason his playing never warmed over on me.
Great pick for a 3rd rounder though. I'm actually starting to enjoy this 3rd round a lot better then the 1st. With the 1st we seemed to be all over the board but right now it looks like we're all focused on the same guys. I get the feeling there is going to be a lot of shuffling as peoples 1st and 2nds choices gone
It's been a blast...someone mentioned taking a bass player with their pick before my first pick (they picked after me) and that's why I jumped all over Wooten. I don't think that's who they were targetting, but I didn't want to chance it. Strategy over emotion right away!
I've been a Zeppelin fan all my life so I obviously adore Page, but I can understand where you're coming from....plus you play and I don't, if I remember correctly which would give you another level of affection for other players.
What I think will be so interesting is the wildcard picks...as people scramble to get certain artists. I know that there are some out there that I THINK might be unique to my list but I could be wrong. I think this could be even more fun in the later rounds.

Alrighty, looks like I'm on the board right now...so! With the 54th overall pick, Dr. Fünke’s 100% Natural Good-Time Family-Band Solution is pleased to select everyone's favorite destructive drummer, the one and only Keith Moon.
Quote:
Keith John Moon (August 23, 1946 – September 7, 1978) was the drummer of the rock group The Who. He gained fame and notoriety for his exuberant drumming style and his destructive lifestyle. Moon joined The Who in 1964, replacing Doug Sandom. He played on all albums from their debut, 1965's My Generation, to 1978's Who Are You, which was released two weeks before his death.
Moon is known for innovative, dramatic drumming, often eschewing basic back beats for a fluid, extremely busy technique focused on fast, cascading rolls across the toms and cymbal crashes. Moon was one of the first to play the drums as a lead instrument in an era when drums were supposed to only keep the back beat. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most distinctive rock drummers of all time.
At 17, Moon joined The Who (in April 1964), a replacement for their original drummer Doug Sandom. Sandom had left the band less than a month earlier and the remaining members hired a session drummer to fulfill a run of shows that they had already agreed to play. Keith Moon was at one of these shows. Peter Townshend later described him as looking like a "ginger man" with his hair dyed ginger and wearing ginger-coloured clothes. As stated in Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who, Keith looked up to Roger Daltrey during the show and said "I hear you're looking for a drummer. Well, I'm much better than the one you've got."[6] The band knew that they needed Moon after seeing him practically smash the drum kit to pieces.[2]
Moon started off on various three - or five-piece drum kits, but made the move to a double bass kit made by Premier in late 1965. Moon decided to simply take two Premier drum kits and put them together. This equipment widened his playing enormously: he abandoned his hi-hat cymbals almost entirely and started basing his grooves on a double bass ostinato with eighth note flams, and a wall of white noise created by riding a crash or ride cymbal. On top of this he would play fills and cymbal accents. This became his trademark style.
Moon was highly destructive. He laid waste to hotel rooms, the homes of friends, and even his own home, often throwing furniture out of high windows and destroying the plumbing with fireworks.[8] He frequently flushed powerful fireworks (Cherry_bombs) down the toilet and was known to detonate toilets for amusement. The acts, though often fueled by drugs and alcohol, were also his way of expressing his eccentricity, as well as the undeniable joy he got from shocking the public.[9] In Moon's biography, Full Moon, Dougal Butler observed, "He would do anything if he knew that there were enough people around who didn't want him to do it."
According to Townshend, Moon's reputation for erratic behaviour was something in which he took pride and cultivated. Once, when The Who was on its way to an airport to catch a flight to their next concert, Moon suddenly insisted that they return to their hotel, saying frantically, "I forgot something. We've got to go back!" When the limo returned, Moon ran to his room, grabbed the TV while it was still plugged in via extension cord, threw it out the window and into the pool. He then jumped back into the limousine, sighing with relief, "I nearly forgot."

It looks like I missed out totally on the rush for bass players and drummers. Picking 20th sucks...
With our third pick in the Music Draft, The Upper Crash are proud to select, from Surrey, England...
A man whose words have fueled an entire generation... songwriter, Mr. Roger Waters!
Quote:
George Roger Waters (born 6 September 1943) is an English rock musician; singer, bass guitarist, guitarist, songwriter, and composer. He is best known for his 1965–1985 career with the band Pink Floyd; he was credited as their main songwriter (after the departure of Syd Barrett), bass player and one of their lead vocalists (along with David Gilmour and, to a lesser extent, Richard Wright).
Waters was the lyrical and conceptual mastermind behind many of the band's concept albums, especially The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and The Final Cut, as well as being the originator of much of the band's well-known symbolism, such as the Pink Floyd pigs.

With the 3rd round pick, I would like to select Vanessa Mae for the Instrumental Soloist category.
Vanessa-Mae Vanakorn Nicholson (born October 27, 1978), known professionally as Vanessa-Mae (in Chinese: 陳美, Chén Měi), is an internationally known Singaporean-born British pop and classical musician, especially noted for her violin skills. Her music style is self-described as "violin techno-acoustic fusion," as several of her albums prominently feature the techno style.
I am going to sort of get away from my previous line of thinking, in order to snap someone up who is pretty versatile as far as categories go. I really have no idea if he was even going to be picked this soon, but here goes...
With our 3rd pick, The Harry Manbacks are proud to select and welcome to their team in the category of Male Singer (for the time being, with the possibility of moving to any number of different categories), BILLY JOEL.
