Some thoughts:

If you drop Label, you need to drop a corresponding sub-category.

Replace Country with Metal outright.

I like the change of Hip Hop to umbrella underneath blues, jazz, r&b, soul, funk, etc.

I'd like to have a category for 1960s and also 1950s and earlier...

However that would mean needing to somehow add a category. Keep 'other' and add rhythm guitarist as one in itself?

Country/Metal is a funny pairing. But I like that it covers ground where there might be mutually exclusive listeners.

Also, in.

NTO's PROPOSED CHANGES
***********************
Drop Label
Change Hip Hop to Hip Hop/R&B/Soul/Funk/Jazz
Change Country to Country/Metal
Change Other to Other/Rythym Guitar
Female MAY NOT be used as a Cover Song



this was very much in line with or at least close to what I was thinking. Drop Label definitely. Only so many of those. I think dropping producer is also a good idea because who cares once you've picked all the murderers and burned the hiphop category there.

Harmony/Backup singing was tossed about and I now realize how we could do it very well so instead of having it be one of the instruments in the top category, we could have it in the BOTTOM section.
So then we will be linking up say:
Bassguitar/harmony, rhythm & other/harmony, keys/harmony etc, which there are tons of... as most harmony singers play another instrument too.

lumping all the subgenres together I kinda like for sure even if they have nothing to do with each other. We could even make it complete with:

R&B/funk/country/jazz/metal/blues and all rock forms thereof

yeah female as a cover song was kinda creative but also somewhat of a reach/copout since this is a cover song for your band.

Why bother having separate genre categories at that point?

right. if we drop label i propose hip hop/country/metal as a sub category. not everyone likes those genres so it gives you some latitude.

maybe 'POP' needs to go away as pre-1980 it gets really fuzzy

I would not argue with that since pop seemed to be used as "let's pick who I want and call it pop".

A Possibility:

Lead Guitarist
Bass Guitarist
Keys
Drummer

Songwriter
Cover Song

The sub-categories that could be used as "sources" for the band members were:
Rock
R&B/Country/Metal
Harmony/Backing Vocals
Female
21st century
1990s
1980s
1970s

I'm actually sold on needing to keep female as a category.

Really it doesn't really need to say hiphop at all if people are going to say R&B is hhiphop anyway. And I lump soul and funk into R&B too and save space.

Still like the idea of a blues/jazz/soul/r&b/hip hop combination over sticking R&B with Country/Metal

I would draft a female regardless, but people should be forced to if they would not otherwise.

couple thoughts

1. i don't wanna get too far away from the original recipe
2. i like the challenge of the difficult categories. requires thought, strategy and forces people to get out of their comfort zones.
3. i think the elimination of POP/LABEL makes the most sense. if we expand the hip hop and country categories along with the existing decades you should have no problem taking a 'POP' artist

We are in agreement. I don't want to stray too far from Chief's original build too much either.

This may not be a good idea, since I am very busy at work and I will likely be out of town next Monday, but I would like to participate, see how I can do.

I have a feeling I will be embarrassed by you musical cogniscentis, but I'll give it a game effort.

I hope Karl, Abe and Larry get in on this. I'd like to see the majority of the first ten return to pick their opening acts.

what's your favorite hammer song? mine's pumps and a bump

i suppose we could roll with just 8 or 9. but that would require at least one more participant.

i'm gonna give it till noon est and then we're going to go to war with the army we've got. realistically 7 or 8 members was probably as good as we could do given the nature of the draft.

on the rule change front lest anyone objects we're going with:

drop: POP/LABEL
HIP HOP becomes HIP HOP/JAZZ/R&B
COUNTRY becomes COUNTRY/METAL

so 7 owners, 9 slots, 63 total picks... we should hum right along. i'm looking forward to it.

pm's and draft thread will go up around noonish.
