Unknown Pleasures was my post punk album selection.  Thanks!

Sure. MC5's "High Time" is a 1971 album. 

Larry "Wild Man" Fischer is a singer/songwriter song. 

That should take care of any duplicates.  

And Lee Perry and The Upsetters is the group, Musical Bones is the album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV0F_XiR48Q

great riff, great musicianship, great yodeling...song has it all

 

[Rove!]

Hrd rock/classic rock song Blackfoot - Highway Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mve2ElcpXU

Ricky Medlocke and the boys with the classic slow bluesly song turns into some fantastic jamming classic southern rock bliss

 

[higgins]

My final 2 picks....

29.16 -- 'Talking Heads 77' by The Talking Head, Post-Punk Album.

30.06 -- 'Next To You' by The Police, Post-Punk Song.

 

[Rove!]

1975 song - All by Myself - Eric Carmen

I once had a roommate that played this song 42 times in a row after a breakup type of situation, and the song was old then, so it has had staying power...

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

My final 2 picks....

29.16 -- 'Talking Heads 77' by The Talking Head, Post-Punk Album.

30.06 -- 'Next To You' by The Police, Post-Punk Song.

Pretty sure that Heads album was taken.

 

[Rove!]

1979 Song John Stewart - Gold

Love the Stevie Nicks background vocals...memorable song where all of ingredients blend perfectly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-SjdN6kuew

 

[Uruk-Hai]

1972 song Blackfoot - Highway Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mve2ElcpXU

Ricky Medlocke and the boys with the classic slow bluesly song turns into some fantastic jamming classic southern rock bliss

you sure that's '72? seems to me it was much later

 

[Rove!]

you sure that's '72? seems to me it was much later

my bad...1979

move it to hard rock for me....

 

[rockaction]

Suicide - Suicide

Joe Jackson - Look Sharp

These two were indeed taken, IIRC. Look Sharp by CIA and Suicide by otb_lifer

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

These two were indeed taken, IIRC. Look Sharp by CIA and Suicide by otb_lifer

Yeah.  I thought some may have been drafted but wasn't sure if it was the album or a song.  Pretty sure someone took the Dire Straits as well.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Yes. 1973 & 1976 songs

Thanks for hooking me up, GB.




 

No problem UH, glad to do it.  

 

[Rove!]

Based on this, i'm moving Rocket Man to 1972

and taking as my soft rock choice

Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet

 

[Rove!]

1977 song- Come Sail Away -- Styx

iconic 1970s rock

Thanks to everyone here! I don't deserve any credit- I just came up with the idea, but let you guys run the show. 

Starting on Wednesday we'll have a discussion thread for each category. We'll start with the albums and songs year by year,  then the albums and songs by category. There won't be any poll, or official ranking (though whoever wants to offer a ranking is welcome to do so). We''ll just have a discussion about the merits, and if people want to offer additional choices at that time please do. I'll try and start one thread each weekday, provided I have the time. 

 

[Tom Skerritt]

I'll try and start one thread each weekday, provided I have the time. 

 

[timschochet]

Posting is one thing. Starting a new thread and listing every album or song taken is quite another.

1978 song - AC/DC Let There be Rock AC/DC

one of their best songs, and I was looking to add some AC/Dc to the roster

 

[Rove!]

1974 song "Bridge of Sighs"  Robin Trower

guitar classic...

 

[Rove!]

1970 song - Grand Funk Railroad - I'm your captain (closer to Home)

 

[Buzzbait]

1974 song "Bridge of Sighs"  Robin Trower

guitar classic...

Great song but I like Too Rolling Stoned and Lady Love better from the same album. Hard to go wrong with any song from that album.

 

[Buzzbait]

My final 2 picks....

29.16 -- 'Talking Heads 77' by The Talking Head, Post-Punk Album.

30.06 -- 'Next To You' by The Police, Post-Punk Song.

The Dreaded Marco is correct that Talking Head (77) was taken. I put the Police song in at 29.16 and you owe one from for Post-Punk album.

 

[higgins]

30.06 -- 'GI' by The Germs, Punk Album.

Honk if you ever had a Germs burn.

C.W. McCall - Convoy


1976 song



Figured out a few more. Innervisions was a 73 album but Eephus listed the category as TDB when pick. He was missing a Soul/Funk album so I moved to that category. The other I changed moving Johnny Cash One Piece at a Time to 76 album as I had it listed as a song.

Mister CIA - You're missing a WC song so it's easy enough to move one of the 75 songs. The other category missing is 77 album. Not sure how to fix that unless you drop one of the 78 albums and pick a 77.

ScottNorwood - I don't have a Post/Punk album. Guess one of the songs listed above is actually an album.

Simsarge - You're missing a 75 song.

 

[rockaction]

Withers is '71, I think.  I had my eye on that one. Tiny Dancer should be '71 also.  

 

[Buzzbait]

You are correct. Thanks.

 

[Rove!]

Punk song - London calling by the clash

 

[Rove!]

Wildcard song. Some will argue that I should take a different Zappa or a different song from the same alb but my pick is

"broken Hearts are for #######s".

Radio City - Big Star  (wildcard album)

Earlier you moved Lou Reed Transformer to WC album. I have a blank for HR album so move one of these to that category?

 

[otb_lifer]

Wildcard song:  (30) Barry Manilow - Copacabana

One album I wish I had drafted:  Van Halen - Van Halen (picked at 2.02 by @Rove!)

One song I wish I had drafted:  Stevie Wonder - Superstition (picked in round 12 by @higgins, although I actually prefer the SRV version slightly more)

My Draft Synopsis: Given that my theme was '70's artists that I have seen in concert and that I limited myself to (A) only one appearance by each artist on my draft and (B) no live material allowed, at times my list of potential draftees was rather limited (see punk categories).  As a result, I probably drafted those picks (see B-52's punk album at 2.06) well above their ADP to avoid getting sniped or having to go off the reservation (theme).  Only a few songs I considered for drafting outside of my theme - Kung Fu Fighting, Y.M.C.A., and the theme From S.W.A.T. - but I was only considering them for the last pick and most of those went before.  I avoided picking covers of '70's artist songs that I have seen live (like Blinded By The Light and Anarchy in the U.K.) that were covered by other artists that I have seen live.  The only artist I considered picking a 2nd time was Bruce, as he is the '70's artist I have seen the most times, but I was caught between a struggle of selecting a favorite song or 2nd favorite album.  Was so tempted to have picked Trapped, but while Jimmy Cliff released it in the '70's, Bruce did not play it until the early '80's and did not officially release it until the 2000's.

Lastly, here is the list of '70's artists that I have seen live that I did not represent in the draft, with the bolded ones indicating those that I considered most for inclusion at various points:  

Paul Simon, Dr. John, The Police, Kool And The Gang, Rush, Cheap Trick, Pretenders, Genesis, Heart, Crosby/Stills/Nash, Foreigner, Queen, Boston, J. Geils Band, Journey, Neil Young, Peter Frampton, Paul McCartney, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Alejandro Escovedo, Merle Haggard, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Whitesnake, New York Dolls, Alice Cooper, Fleetwood Mac, The Oak Ridge Boys, Yes, Steely Dan, Steve Winwood, Yes, Styx, REO Speedwagon.
