2.18 Outkast - B.O.B. (5:04; 93:05 left)

GREAT pick. IMO this group's best of the decade. And that's saying something.

was going to be my pick

####### love this song

Was eyeing this one as well.

Obviously you guys like the songs a lot, but just going through some of the picks and my first thought it...there's a whole lot of suck going on in the 00s. Other than Hey Ya and Hurt there's not much going on that fits in my tastes so far.

I used to think that way, but have found a lot of good stuff that I love now in the 00s. Have you clicked the links and listened to the songs, or is it more that you don't know the bands people are taking?IMO Johnny Cash's version of Hurt is the suck. Watching Trent put everything into that song live you can tell it means something. Cash's version is bland and soulless to me. It was just something to do for him.

I plan on doing so extensively and I am sure I will, but most of what I listened to in the first few rounds is pretty bad, or at least well, well out of my taste range.

WowI don't think I could disagree moreCash's version has more feeling and emotion in it than the rest of this round combinedTrent himself said something along the lines of "That's not my song anymore. It's his now. he made it his song."

I clicked on a lot of the links, mostly for songs I didn't think I'd heard before. I'll even listen to the RH songs even though I've never been into them. I kind of like the Strokes and can handle Arcade Fire, but most of this electronic, drum machine, synthesized 80s fusion retro doesn't do a thing for me. And I think (as Reznor himself has said) that Hurt was meant for Cash.If you can't feel the pain of a life spent as an artist in that song, well... I forget, did he record that before or after Roseanne died?

You're the first person that has ever said that. Even Cash's own family members have commented how personal that reinterpretation was to him. Hell, this is Reznor's own response to first hearing the song, after initially bring concerned it would be "a bit gimmicky":

I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [i felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.[1]

In my opinion Cash owned that song. And I like the NIN version and consider it one of the top ten songs of the "alternative" era.

Rosanne died? Assume you're talking about his wife June, who was in the video for Hurt. Still alive at the time.

FWIW, that was after seeing the video... not just hearing the song. The video makes it much much more emotional. The song alone is just good. It's the video that makes it great imo.

I have no idea why I wrote Roseanne. Thanks, I just watched the video and saw. He's so old and beaten down he looks like the old Infian from THunderheart. The lyrics are even more haunting coming from an aged man. It was also used for the preview ads for season 5 (I think) of The Shield and is probably my favorite ad campaign for a show, ever. Perfect fit for the season.

c'mon back for the ad campaign for a show draft

 

[The Future Champs]

Gotta admit I'm drawing a blank on some of these bands as well, but that's part of the reason I'm in this. I look forward to hearing everyone's choices.

 

[Steve Tasker]

For Mr. Tasker:

thanks

 

[Disco Stu]

Oops, just noticed Tufnel's pick. Thought we were waiting on him.

Gotta have some MMJ. Feel much better about missing "One Big Holiday" now. Some days I like this even one better...

My Morning Jacket - "Wordless Chorus"

4:12 (91:51 remaining)

 

[Steve Tasker]

Don't really know where to go here. I have no idea if any of my songs will be sniped....hard to really gauge the value of songs...what separates a third round song from a 10th round song?

 

[The Future Champs]

Question for NV: how does a radical remix of a song count? When does it become a cover? Also, could we use a cover of a radiohead song at this point, but not radiohead doing a cover? What if the cover was done in 2001 for a song off "The Bends?"

 

[Disco Stu]

Sorry if this has been addressed, but I haven't read 3/4 of the thread. Does the song qualify as a choice if the original version was recorded prior to 2000, but the cover/live version/etc. was recorded during the 2000s?

My thought here is a cover by a new band should be eligible for the 00s draft and is essentially a new song but an artist playing a live version of a song they released 30 years ago isn't eligible.In other words, you can take Nickelback's version of "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" but you can't take Elton John singing it live.This seem fair?

Yes.

Value is in the ear of the beholder here. If you like the song and you think you can build a good mix around it then it has value to you. If you know or suspect others are thinking the same thing then you should grab the song early. Personally, I've pulled about 100 songs that might work, and I hope that no one else will pick about 15 of those, which means I need to line up some additional choices.

I need to see these guys live. I don't know why I haven't made more of an effort.

I had a really tough time deciding between this and "Wordless Chorus". Kept going back and forth.Link added for ya.

I have had a blast tonight going through my 2000s tunes on iTunes, I had decided before that the 70s were my favorite decade of pop/rock music, but I'm beginning to rethink that. Just the sheer volume of great music in the 2000 is astounding. So many bands making great songs in so many different genres/niches. Anyways, hopefully you'll find some music that gets drafted here that you do like.

Waiting for it with bated breath. Dug the hell out of the 90s draft, hoping to find some similar gems here but I am not liking most of it. Middle rounds is where the great discoveries come. So many bands I'd heard about for so long that ended up not being my bag when I finally hear them, MMJ being a big one.

While we wait:

New Radiohead Song Comically Radiohead-esque

On Saturday Sunday, the happy-go-lucky members of Radiohead played a benefit show in Hollywood for Oxfam's relief efforts in Haiti. During the second encore, Thom Yorke debuted "Lotus Flower," a brand-new track presumably destined for their upcoming eighth album, which they're supposedly recording now. As you might expect, it features a sad melody sung all in falsetto, arpeggiated minor chords, drop-D guitar tuning, and a meandering Yorke-plucked bass line. Basically, it sounds like it could lapse into "I Might Be Wrong," "There There," "Follow Me Around," or "In Limbo" at any second. Also, we can't make out any of the lyrics, but they're almost certainly about the dangers of unchecked capitalism or some virus common to rabbits.
