Band Member Draft

Originally suggested by BackFoot Punch but he has given me permission to run it.

It is a straight draft to pick anyone you want to be in your all time dream band. You will pick one band member at a time.

There will only be 5 rounds. You must pick a singer and a drummer. You are free to pick any other type of musician for the other three spots. If you only want 4 in your band you can pass on the 5th pick.

You can also draft anyone from any country. You may get more votes however if people have heard of your musician.

You can pick from any era. If you want a classical music band that is fine, if you want a punk rock act that is just as fine. Will have peeps comment on who picked the best "band".

Sign ups now open.

But in my experience the key three core members of any band are: singer + guitarist + bloke who owns a van.

Why did you make picking a singer and drummer mandatory?

Although I said you could make it a classical musical group - with violins etc. I didn't really want people drafting a quartet of violins as it would have been hard to compare to everyone else. So I thought I would give it a little bit of structure so that most people would end up with a modern band of some description.

You are free to make your singer someone who also plays an instrument if you like. They don't have to be just a "singer".

Hoping for a few more entries...
