Missed the league this year, but will be rooting for the #78, errr #19.

Just picked it up in the Steam $5 sale a few weeks back. Only played Perfect Team so far, but would love to get into a regular sim league.

Posting some makeup picks Round 15 - Jason Aldean - Drowns The Whiskey (feat. Miranda Lambert) Took a different song of the same album at mid-year, but this one is pretty decent as well. Round 16 - Mercy Union - Young Dionysians Featuring members of NJ's The Gaslight Anthem and The Scandals, some straight up Jersey rock. Great opening song from their debut album. Round 17 - Zedd - The Middle (feat. Maren Morris) A repeat from my mid-year selections, still a great pop-hook on this one Round 18 - Chris Stapleton - Millonaire From his late 2017 release, this was the 2018 single - not his best, but still better than most of what is out there from the country and western folk Round 19 - Greta Van Fleet - Safari Song Another repeat from my mid-year selections Round 20 - Muse - Pressure Not the best song they have ever put out, but one that has grown on me and one that is unmistakably Muse from the first lick Bonus Muse track - their cover of Hungry Like The Wolf - not sure this one needed to redone, but assume this will slide into the live sets in 2019

Time to bring the R&B - number of great tunes on this album Round 14 - The Suffers - I Think I Love You

Since he’s been in the news a lot recently, for good reasons - here is looking at a long shot for the RnR HoF that it would be great to see get the nod. Adding him would offset the lyrical cesspool of inducting Def Leppard. Round 11 - John Prine - When I Get To Heaven He’s not the Last Highwayman Standing, but the last putting out great material I was mindin' my own business, a-buzzin' 'round My mind spinnin' faster than the speed of sound And I was perfectly happy when I ran into her But she complicated me and the way things were Round 12 - Willie Nelson - She Made My Day And to complete the old guy Singer-songwriter picks from me, an old punk rocker who has completed the pivot but still rocks it out every so often Round 13 - Alejandro Escovedo - Sonica USA

Catchy. Digging it more and more. Deserves a spot. Need more non-country songs from my polling location. Round 10 - The 1975 - Love It If We Made It

His best work comes from the back end of each album - his 2018 EP release brings the same. Cool guy - met him a few times at shows near Jersey. Round 9 - Kip Moore - Come Home With You

A few makeup picks from me - yes, dipping back into some of the mid year albums with different tracks. Round 6 - Amanda Shires - Break Out the Champagne Welcome to the “crap” show indeed Round 7 - Lucero - Cover Me (Live Version) Missed their local show this year, but love this tune from the new album Round 8 - Brian Fallon - If Your Prayers Don’t Get to Heaven Seeing him Saturday for an acoustic show Will make up the rest later or on the morning commute.

Just about that time for two from me Gonna play that one word song title game To keep it fresh, the genre ain’t the same So you’re lucky they both won’t be country Round 4 - Cardi B - Money (Spotify link) I like this one better than “I Like It” and it seems like she’s going to make a lot of it in the coming years. Round 5 - Kacey Musgraves - Butterflies (Spotify link) A repeat album from my mid-year selections, but a different song. Honestly, I could take about a dozen songs off this great album.

I'll be going there at one point, I think.

I tried to go to college but I didn't belong Everything I said was either funny or wrong They laughed at my boots, laughed at my jeans Laughed when they gave me amphetamines Left me alone in a bad part of town Thirty-six hours to come back down Am I the last of my kind? Am I the last of my kind? From my favorite artist, this time a live cut that I enjoyed even more as the year went on - just love the outro dual between Sadler Vaden’s electric guitar and Amanda Shires’ fiddle while Jason Isbell strums along on this acoustic and checks in with the rest of the band. Glad to see this track make 2018’s “Live From The Ryman” - Spotify link below is from this album. What great shows they were in the fall of 2017 and this song was a standout each night. And now, will no longer have to rely on boots to get this song fix every few days. Round 3 - Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit - The Last of My Kind (Live) (YouTube link) (Spotify Link - Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit - The Last of My Kind (Live))

Told you I would not hit up the same tracks as the mid-year...taking this one purely for the video. In particular, the scene at 1:08. Round 2 - Mark Ronson - Nothing Breaks Like a Heart (ft. Miley Cyrus) (YouTube link)

Gonna be playing catch-up for this whole draft and going to try not to lean too heavily on my mid-year selections. Round 1 - Eric Church - Desperate Man (Spotify Link at left, YouTube link at right) Desperate Man This sums up where I am for ideas right now and it was bound to make my Top 10, so may as well play the “Kicker in the 1st round” card here. Love the song, but the same name album has more clunkers than classics. But still looking forward to 2019’s “Double Down” tour from EC - two nights, same city, different set list.
