Crazy thing is that 1971 is probably in my Top 5 years based on RYM.

Two of each have to be new. In finals, you'll have a team of ten albums and eight singles, and none of them have to be new.

PM me your teams for the first round within the next two days, I'll get them posted along with posting polls.

When you say "singles" you mean Billboard Top 200? And if is it a Pop single does it have to be released that year or chart that year?

I don't know 100% how everyone would vote, but the albums/singles I would have chosen for 1971 may well have been considered better on MB in general.

Can the singles come off the albums we send?

Sure.

The group stage is round-robin, also. I think that goes without saying, but in case anyone was unsure.

Wait, so what did you mean by no overlap? As in having the same artist as the other person? I thought it meant that the singles and albums had to be from different albums.

It means you can't use the same album/single twice in the group stage. If you didn't understand that rule and it affects your strategy, feel free to submit a new list (this goes for anyone).
