Guess the backlash from their crossover success has already started.

It's easy to claim that, but some people just like The Strokes and Allman Brothers better than U2. I'm glad they're having so much success though.

Fair enough. Will be interesting to see how the remainder of their catalog fares in the draft.

My bad. Felt like rewatching The Third Man and thought I might be able to make it back before my pick.

Anyone seen MoB on a recent tour? I'm thinking about going to see them on Friday.

[D_House]

Dislike the Sex on Fire song, like Rehab. Sad that Winehouse is such a wreck in her personal life.

 

[Professor S]

Sad that Winehouse is such a wreck in her personal life.

Agreed there. She's amazingly vocally talented . . . who would've thought a skinny coked up white girl could belt like Ella Fitzgerald? Hope she gets her act together and makes some more incredibly music but I'd pick her highly in a potential celebrity death draft.

 

[The Future Champs]

Could have gone many different spoon songs- I wanted to avoid another shutout here.

 

[Postradamus]

Links added, love the picks. My list is being dismantled.

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.

3.12 Modest Mouse -

Modest Mouse is the band that really got me interested in digging deeper into indie rock. My first three selections represent bands that have had the most influence on my musical tastes throughout this decade. I have one more that also fits into this category and I hope I'm able to complete that foursome in the next round.This will probably be my opener. I was hooked on this soungs elastic guitar sounds from the moment I heard it back in 2000.

Saw them on the Eternal Sunchine Tour with Cake, Modest Mouse and De La Soul. Had never really heard them before and didn't know what they were about. Came out of there thinking they were either the greateest live band ever, or the worst. This song sounded outstanding live though.FTR, MM SUCKED that night. Barely acknowledged the audience, listless, no soul. Might've been during either his end days of drugging or the early days of sobering up. Saw them again since and they were much better, but it was a serious downer for the first time seeing them live.

I wonder if we were at the same show in Berkeley, CA at the greek theater? I remember MM putting on a pretty unsatisfying show that night as well. I've seen them several times since then and they've been much a much better live act.Flaming Lips otoh killed that night.

3rd snipe! I know MGMT have their haters, but this song is just so damn catchy I don't see how anyone could hate it. I love most of the album in fact.

Was it overplayed? Yes.

Do I still love it and consider it one the decade's biggest & best rock anthems? Absolutely.

It's catchy and the lyrics are in that Arcade Fire "lost innocence" vein that the kids all love these days.

It's from a charity album and features Stephen Colbert. It's a cover, apparently. I have it at home in one of my Spoon rarities folders but I've never thought of it as anything special.
