DI Draft Breakdown

I thought it would be cool to have a seperate thread to accompany the active draft thread, where we could post and update our individual lists, and include other stuff as well...I just thought of a "albums by decades" that I'll add on...

If everyone wants to do this, post your lists first, before we get into discussion and shit talking, so that the lists are on top of the thread. We can modify our original posts to update things as the draft proceeds...

9. BH Creedence Clearwater Revival - CCR
10. capt. headdy CSNY - Deja Vu
I didn't have it on my list because I thought CSN's debut would be consider the debut. A little iffy in my opinion. :-?
11. bbill Gillian Welsh - Revival
12. Grandpaboy Internation Submarine Band - Safe at Home

More to come...

#1 - This might be the 1st shitlist im glad to be on ;D

#2 - I know the controversy/topic were talking about now in the draft thread, but CSNY steers clear of that. They have multiple albums together as a band. 'Collaborations' I think are more 1 time deals.

Obviously, the other album you mentioned is still available and eligible though ;)
