I would like an artists/bands draft, with no repeats. That way we would have 320 different artists taken, which would get very interesting after the first few rounds.

My head hurts from trying to make decisions based on which sets of albums is better than the others.

If you're interested, I'm willing to be the commissioner.

I don't actually like that because I think more people are familiar with albums than with songs. If we kept it to well-played Top 40 radio hits, then it would be boring. If we go to obscure B-sides, then it would be impossible. What would be interesting is to make a mixtape but you HAVE to include songs which can be listened to and/or freely downloaded. That is, from the artist or label webpage (not illegally or possibly illegaly).
