Fantasy Music Draft Results


So, I stole this idea from a Bill Simmons podcast.


William, if you're listening (and I am sure that you're not)
please don't sue me...
I'm already poor. 


Here are the basic rules of the
Famo& the Wookie
Fantasy Music Draft
Rule #1-
Only one band member PER group.
(If you draft John Lennon as your singer, you can't have anymore Beatles.)


Rule #2
Only one job PER band member.
(If you draft Phil Collins, he can't be your singer AND your drummer) 


We set up a 7-man roster for each band
with the positions broken down like this...

Vocals (x1)
Guitar (x2)
Bass (x1)
Drums (x1)
Utility (x2)

We left Utility open to interpretation
as either piano, extra vocals/guitar, producers, dj's...
whatever you want, really.


Then at the very end, we all picked one bonus member.
...just for fun. 


So, I give you the final results
as well as the overall draft order. 


And let us know 
who you think
did the best job...
