Topic: The Ultimate Music Draft - Live and Loud 1953 to Present Day - THE VOTE

[Betty Blue]

Is this like a single vote and it's all done kinda deal?

If there's a draw or it's very very close, then I might do a special final. But let's see how this one goes.

[Chakan]

I wish people with good taste in music voted in these things.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

Voted Noname (because of The Clash), Sheer Magnetism (Prince and Sly & The Family Stone) & LFsea (great all round line up, that and James Brown).

I'd go to Crosby Nick and AndyMuller's festival as well.

[Sudden Death Draft Loser]

Voted Noname (because of The Clash), Sheer Magnetism (Prince and Sly & The Family Stone) & LFsea (great all round line up, that and James Brown).

Have you voted, or just written your votes here, as my number of votes hasn't gone up.

[Crosby Nick]

Well that's no fucking good to me. You're barred!

[gregorio]

I now have one vote !

Does no-one else want  to see the worlds most alluring harpist? The world of salsa's best lead singer/ double bassist?

(It's U2, isn't it, wish I'd done Kings of Leon instead)

[Buck Pete]

Just posted the RAWK link on Elvis Presley fan-sites across the globe. Should see my vote count start to go up.

Bono stumbled into RAWK by mistake

You should have another 3 votes come close of play once he's told Edge, Larry and Adam whats occurring.

[Hazell]

Cheers Betty.

Love Redondo Fest!

[Betty Blue]

Cheers Betty.

Love Redondo Fest!

It was a close run thing between Ayala and Redondo

He's after a spare for Leicester tomorrow night, but he still hasn't found what he's looking for

[Betty Blue]

My votes went to Lastrapalooza for Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Pavement, and Tom Waits. Led Zep would be alright too    and Tone Fest mainly because I love The Doors, but Kate Bush is also awesome and I'd love to see both Can and Wire. Sheer Magnetism's Fire fest was also close, as well as Hazell's Redondo fest. Lots of other line-ups had one band I'd love to see, but too much Dad rock/not enough weird shit for me 

[Lastrador]

Come on Betts, say the true, you voted for my festival because of my freaky lady Fever Ray didn't you? 



I went with Hazel's Redondo fest, Betty's freaks and Djozer well maybe I didn't went for Djozer but he deserved it for not voting for himself.

[Betty Blue]

Come on Betts, say the true, you voted for my festival because of my freaky lady Fever Ray didn't you? 

Haha, you know I've never actually listened to Fever Ray. Might give her a go tonight. I love me some weird freaky shit.

[Djozer]

Aw cheers mate...I think! Can't believe two people took pity on me, much obliged whoever you are.

Betty's still out in the lead, tight though. Think this one's gonna go down to the wire.

[Lastrador]

Haha, you know I've never actually listened to Fever Ray. Might give her a go tonight. I love me some weird freaky shit.

Her music it's actually not that weird considering her stage persona. I mean it is kind of weird but still really melodic and accessible for me. The good thing is she has only released one album under Fever Ray so you know where to start, but if you like it you'll probably like her work on The Knife, which is far more popular.

Well If you consider all those people with three votes more than likely voted for themselves you're in good company.

Yeah, I don't remember a draft vote so tight and spread as this but it goes to show how varied people's music tastes are.

Ah, yeah. I know the Knife. I haven't listened to them in years. I had no idea there was any connection to Fever Ray.

Yep, I think that's the big thing with music. One man's greatest ever is another's shit on a shoe. Ahem, U2. It's why I wasn't even sure a vote was worth it, as we were all bound to disagree. The process/draft was always going to be the best bit. I love that I can dip into the selection thread any time I want now and find a bunch of artists I've never listened to.

Even if it stays as it is, I don't mind doing a final vote thread with the top 2/3/4 if people want even more closure though.

p.s. I can't watch the game from where I am    Hence posting here.

[KingLuis10]

Voted for Andy because I was considering picking half his line-up...Marvin Gaye, Kendrick Lamar, Wu-Tang Clan & A Tribe Called Quest are all right up my street. My second vote went to Titi because Pendulum & Prodigy back to back would be absolute carnage....then a bit of Sigur Ros/The Streets/The XX/Bob to calm me down afterwards. And with my third vote I voted for myself because RAWK drafts are serious business

Honourable mention goes to Noname's festival but honestly every single line-up has something I'd pay to watch, some of which I only discovered thanks to this draft.

[ToneLa]

Tone Fest mainly because I love The Doors, but Kate Bush is also awesome and I'd love to see both Can and Wire.

 Now you're the kind of person I want at my fest!

Glad you did so well Betty, you were an early fav for me, deservedly   

[Hazell]

Yeah, well done Betty.

Great idea for a draft, looking forward to the all-female one, particularly as I'm a huge fan of Courtney Love's Hole.

[Lastrador]

Yeah, well done Betty.

Great idea for a draft, looking forward to the all-female one, particularly as I'm a huge fan of Courtney Love's Hole.

Naughty boy.

[Chakan]

Yeah, well done Betty.

You and about the 3000 other people she's been with.

[Lawnmowerman]

Yeah, well done Betty.

Great idea for a draft, looking forward to the all-female one, particularly as I'm a huge fan of Courtney Love's Hole.

[KingLuis10]

Congrats Betty! And thanks for organizing this draft, it's been an absolute blast. Already suffering from withdrawal symptoms over here.

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

Voted Betty, Lastrador and Sheer Magnetism.

But would have gone to most of them, great stuff.

[Crosby Nick]

Voted Betty, Lastrador and Sheer Magnetism.

Unbelievable.

Thanks to whoever gave me a late vote to take me up to a respectable 5. I fully understand that it's not something you'd want to admit to publicly but I am grateful anyway.

[Betty Blue]

Thanks guys. Quite surprised my freaks were so popular to be honest! Never knew we had so many closet Beefheart fans on RAWK.

It was great fun running the draft and outing all your music tastes. Glad you all enjoyed it as well. Special thanks to Chakan for making sure we were all PMed several hundred times 

Courtney's Hole draft coming soon 

Who's up for an Ultimate Sportsman/woman draft in the meantime?

[Crimson_Tank]

I am in.

[Samie]

Yes! to the ultramarine sports draft mate.

[Chakan]

I'm out for the sportsperson draft.

[Sudden Death Draft Loser]

I'm out for the sportsperson draft.

Same here. Am really looking forward to a female only music draft.

[Betty Blue]

Same here. Am really looking forward to a female only music draft.

I'm definitely up for running that one, but I reckon we should leave a bit of a gap so we don't all burn out. Maybe over Christmas would be good 

[ToneLa]

Not sure I'd be remotely as good as the sports one so I'd sit that out! Cheers Betty, this was a great idea - hope the format gets reused, it's really good

[Crimson_Tank]

Same here. Am really looking forward to a female only music draft.

In for this and the comedian Draft.

[Betty Blue]

In for this and the comedian Draft.

Yawn.

[Crimson_Tank]

Yawn.

Well no one is picking you mate, you are not funny.
