For me, it impossible to get sniped in this draft (as I suspect it was for most of us), but I think you took more songs/albums that I was at least considering than anyone else.

You had a great draft, but your master-stroke (IMO) was the Toussaint pick.

Captain and Tenille - Love Will Keep Us Together


1975 song


simsarge


C.W. McCall - Convoy


1976 song

Simsarge - You're missing a 75 song.

LWKUT should be my 1975 entry. 'Nuther typo

 

[higgins]

I just wanted to follow up on this in that I originally planned on "picking with a theme" but was disappointed in work fires making me go "meat and potatoes" due to lack of thinking/list. Regardless I picked songs that felt 70's to me and if I had to do it all over again, this song would have made my cut.

"Suicide" - Suicide (1977 album)

talk about groundbreaking ... with all the different directions music was heading, these guys were cooking up a whole 'nother monster in their own little lab - recorded in just four days, on a minuscule budget (six songs) - it's an all out aural assault by Martin Rev and Allan Vega -  just keyboard and electronics, yet as brutally ripping as any guitar driven album ever was. 

Ghost Rider kicks this off, and it grabs you by the throat ... the production is brilliant, it's raw and mind numbing.

Frankie Teardrop. which opened side two, perfectly captures the ambiance and insanity.  it's a ride straight to hell, the story is unsettling, the song is unrelenting.

the album is the most punk as #### release of the era, imo ..., these guys didn't give one rat's ### about anything but laying their sh!t down, on their terms. it's legacy is forever cemented, it's influence is as far reaching as anything to come outta the decade. 

took us awhile to get around to this one, back in the day one had to work to find the 'underground' gems, and this was like digging to China, so to speak. those who had heard it swore by it ... wasn't always available at the record stores ... certainly didn't get any airplay.  a cassette copy began to get passed around, and we were hooked. 

could say a ton more, but one YouTube comment i read summed it up perfectly: "this album makes me wanna buy a motorcycle chain and start whipping the floor"

RIP Alan Vega

RIP Alan Vega

they had some gigs lined up on the horizon w/Television, really sad to see him go, - was as crucial to that NYC scene as anyone else -

I'm kind of surprise UFO's Rock Bottom didn't get picked for Rock Song.  I figured once the Strangers In The Night album was taken Rock Bottom would go off the board quick..

Even with 20+ drafters and 30 rounds ... there was so much left out.

I'd like to do an '80s draft similar to this one -- only at every draft slot, you make TWO picks instead of one. Still 30 (or so) rounds, but with ~60 selections.

 

[FUBAR]

add new wave, hip hop and metal, remove disco, punk, and funk.  or just add those categories.

hard rock would include glam / shred guitar.

7.whatever - Just a Boy by Leo Sayer. Singer/Songwriter album

If you ever feel like there's a hole in your soul that you can't seem to fill, try this on for size.

Skip track 1 and this album rivals the best of Van Morrison.

Where's the beer thread?

ETA:Track 1 = Track 2 on the misshaped YouTube link.

Boy, am i glad i missed this. I'd have quit quitting, just so i could quit. Woulda been like watching Johnny Weir change a tire...

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Woulda been like watching Johnny Weir change a tire...

I will be using this in the future.  Thank you.

 

[Mister CIA]

I will be using this in the future.  Thank you.

I'm gonna use "I'd have quit quitting, just so i could quit."

Question for all you 70s rock gurus. There's a relatively well known song that I can't remember for the life of me. It starts off with like a minute or two drum solo and then the guitars slowly start to come in. I remember liking the hell out of it, but it's totally slipped my mind who or what the title is. I thought it was by someone like Robin Trower or Dio, but I didn't see it in their song list and can't remember who the heck it was. Anybody got a clue?

TIA

Found It!

I hope you are banging your head over Captain and Tenille pick and not the typo.

I was going for the cheese factor as much as possible. Think I pretty much nailed it there... Short of Muscrat Love anyways ?
