Whoa. If people got sentenced for bad thoughts, we would all be in jail. For the record I did not contact one other person to discuss The people I would have discussed this with did not submit lists anyway This was all in my head. But since you think so badly of me, i will leave this thread...

Music is littered with songs that are rearranged or reinterpreted. Making a song better than an original is one of the hardest tasks in music. Bran Wilson did such a great job on this its considered a Beach Boys song over all other interpretations. To me thats even more impressive than most of...

Thoroughly recommended. Helps if everyone is into each other.

Otis Redding List from Uruk-Hai. I have to figure out how to format the other two lists cause they have too many characters UrukFinal Rank 1. "I've Been Loving You Too Long" 3 2. "These Arms Of Mine" 1 3. "Try A Little Tenderness" 2 4. "Tramp" 11 5. "Respect" 12 6. "That's How...

I cant ever recall another themed draft being talked about. I mean i have one ready thats much better than ****ing Batman.

He’s a former offensive lineman. He washed out of college. 6ft 4, 275lbs He makes many references to being the son of a coach and believes its his destiny too. Gillis has a goofy charm that when he hits is really good. When he bombs thats part of his persona. win/win

Thanks to zegras and KP for their hard work. For me a special thanks to Krista and Uruk for indulging my wish to be collaborative. Otis Redding is not usually someone I would listen to, so I was a little out of my depth. Their guidance solidified my thoughts.

The obvious answer is to get someone to sell them for you for their value and pass on the money. Minus expenses. If you need them sold quickly, that could be an issue. if you want to maximise their value you need to be patient. Getting rid of them in a bulk lot wont produce much. Anyone who...

I have no idea what they did to the US cut of Highlander, but internationally the movie worked fine and the Queen soundtrack was a big part of that. I am curious what track gets chosen here The title track? Fried Chicken? Who Wants to Live Foever? Princes of the Universe? Or one of the others?

Bing Crosby - Try a Little Tenderness https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JmRiHVmPZB8&pp=ygUjQmluZyBjcm9zYnkgdHJ5IGEgbGl0dGxlIHRlbmRlcm5lc3PSBwkJzQkBhyohjO8= My fave youtube comment “I kept waiting for the part where he says "gotta gotta nanana gotta try a little tenderness"

Stax and a whole bunch of labels would have their songwriting teams and then get their roster artists to try them out. They released whatever version sounded best to them. Some artists took a shine to the songs and released them as well anyway.

What shocked me is it was written in the 30s and recorded by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr etc Then it got rearranged and made to sound like this.

As Pips intimated, the music industry was heavily country specific until the 80s when they became more international. There are a whole slew of artists who are massive in some parts of the world and anonymous elsewhere, particularly in the US. There are so many big name US artists that are...
