The purity of this is unsettling. I just love the original too much not to.
Sampled:
Round 32.xx
Artist: Santigold ft. Spank Rock
Song: Shove It
Year: 2008
Sampler:
Round 33.xx
Artist: Jay-Z
Song: Brooklyn Go Hard
Year: 2009
Gonna use my mulligan on the earlier Jay-Z track, I think. I think. My unwritten nerd rule was never having not two
(Also, using album release date for 2009. It's the Notorious OST)

yeah, he did too ...and he pretty quickly left it all - he could have had a giant pop hit career ...wasn't for himOh, I have all of that. I eventually grew older and wiser.
still really like to go back and play both of them back-to-back when I'm in the mood

Wrong thread, don't care

A big change happened in 1990-ish when charts started going by Soundscan, which reflected what people were actually buying/listening to, instead of by reports from retailers and radio stations, which could be fudged, to say the least. Nobody outside the country audience heard of Garth Brooks until Soundscan happened and it turned out he had by far the most popular album in the nation.

Same with the guy I am currently doing a countdown for. There's probably a reason why I got heavily into both of them.

There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.

The town this is (mostly) written about, Omemee, is 15 minutes from my house. It is a very rough, poor, very "rural" little town these days.

My least favorite so far but I need to give it more time. In general, I love their stuff.

I always figured North Ontario meant something on the Hudson Bay coast near the Arctic Circle

I thought it sent me wild, but then realized I only had two songs written down for this year, one of which I already took and one of which someone else did. Hmph.

Well to the resentment of many many many many Canadians, the center of Canada, and therefore Ontario is often regarded as Toronto, so north really just means north of there. Neil has admitted the song is about Omemee, which is not really Northern Ontario at all, but is north of Toronto, so it counts.
I think Toronto is amazing and by any measure is the primary engine that drives the country, so I'm fine with it.

Hmph. That sucks. I think mine just freed up a bizarre love triangle of years, provided I make the next two picks in proper order. The seventies wound up being probably the most heavily sampled decade, with Stax and some other soul labels taking the lead here. Not a ton of Motown, who I think guards their rights zealously.

I deleted all my backup '71 songs. I drafted Famous Blue Raincoat there, so no complaints but I feel like I had a few lined up.

That would have sort of been a big year for me, too, though I'm not complaining. The free plays have definitely allowed me to pon the replay.

Yeah, I've done 4 or 5 of them but others don't fit into the mix as well as his contemporaries and followers.
I'm still good to close this out but something in the 78-82 range would have been better if I was a cheat.

Could have used an '85 free play
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

I have Adams on my list but don't think he'll make it into the final box.
He's kind of a lesser, poppier Boss but they went to the same tailor for a while.

If you could read my mind Eeph
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a draft that I didn't plan well
NV was parked, in a fortress strong
With chains upon his feet
You know that ghost is me
And now you know I was set free
This Lightfoot song, I wish belonged to me

I don't mess with the dice
The hand of fate is on me now
It pick me up and knock me down
I'm on the run, I'm prison bound
The hand of fate is heavy now
I killed a man, I'm highway bound
The wheel of fortune keeps turning round
Turning round, turning round
I should have known it was a one horse town
