Like my johnson, my depth chart is long and distinguished. |

I could love them or hate them.

Judging from your picks, I'm confident you would dig it. |

These days, what constitutes a bootleg? |

For example, if someone wanted to put the Jon Brion production for Fionna's "Extroadinary Machine" album or the Mummies bootleg "Fuck the Mummies" (which Goner officially released as "Tales from the Crypt" eventually), they should. If someone wanted to put on a random live cd-r of Radiohead that they bought at 7th Heaven, they shouldn't be allowed to use it.

auto - Could you please fix my Round 9 pick listed in post #2? You have it as "Helmut" when it should be "Helmet." The former sounds like it should be a German cover band of the latter.
EDIT: Thanks! I'm glad there's all this negative talk concerning greatest hits albums. I'm still trying to whittle down what my Round 10 pick will be and one of the contenders is a greatest hits album that I've been playing the hell out of lately (hint: the artist has already been selected in the draft). Now that I know where the players (or the more vocal ones, at least) stand on the issue, I can cross that album off the list. |

I think the only worthy greatest hits is Creedence's "Chronicle."
