My buddy had never heard Celebration Rock and was very impressed.

Ohhh, you know, I thought that when you were asking but it seemed like some of those albums require a longer hanging of out and beer session. But I should know better that you're in it for the long haul.
Depending on the crowd, The National might put somebody to bed.
Neil, on the other hand, if you're into his guitar, then it's perfect.
I'd say go with your gut. I'll listen along virtually.

Hot take: Post-Nothing was better. More urgent, a little more rightly paced, IMO. Better lyrics, actually. Before they became road weary, had the adulation, and were underdogs.
But I was always a guy that veered to the artist's first output rather than maturation and development. I always thought you could see inside that soul a little more on their first album and that the sophomore struggle was a very real thing. Lots of albums about road life.

Celebration Rock is a great album, that's just by way of discussion.

They're both great and so is Near to The Wild Heart of Life.
If you make me choose one though it's Celebration Rock and not particularly close. Post-Nothing Side B doesn't do as much for me.

Also I defied all input and rational thought and we're rocking Pyromania

Just looked at the track listing. Surprisingly, I could actually listen to the album and not despise it. I think you'd really lose me at Hysteria. Some good pop rock on Pyromania.
No doubt Mutt Lange had something to do with this. Sounds like Loverboy's formula, really.

I think I was listening to an AOTY contender before Pyromania entered my world. I'll post a song from the artist tmrw or late tonight.
Okay, "Rock Rock (Till You Drop)" needed an edit. "Photograph" needs blast beats, deconstruction, and glitch pop modulation in the background.
Remix!
But Def Leppard punching way above expectations here.

Many excellent options there. But after the week I just had--125 clinic patients, most of them sick, several of them with COVID19, I need someone to Gimme Shelter, not Fiction.
Cue it up.

Pyromania is the happy medium Def Leppard album I think. I get why purists like the earlier better and Hysteria is pure pop but Pyromania is right in the happy middle.

I was a high school sophomore in '83-----Pyromania was pretty huge in my cohort.

Rd 3: The Weeknd - Take My Breath
Have the new album downloaded but haven't listened yet in full. The album is a 2022 release but this was a 2021 single.

Rd 4: Bears in Trees: I'm Doing Push Ups
This is not in my usual wheelhouse. It's twee and British and infectious as hell.

9. edamame (feat. Rich Brian) - Diplo Remix - bbno$, Rich Brian, Diplo
I'm a big bag hunter with the bow
She got a big bad dumper, drop it low
Momma called me and she happy with the growth
Never ever fold for a thottie, that's an oath (yeah, ay)
10. Good Night on Earth - Eels
Everyone's a critic, "I can't stand eels"
So says Colin Firth
Rain on my parade, then the clouds fade
It's a good night on Earth

Rd 6: Enola Gay - Scrappers
Aggressive post-punk. RIYL IDLES, Shame, etc
I discovered this band in the mid-year draft. That tune made it to my best of 2021 playlist and then Apple's algorithm fed this one to me in my "For You" playlist - it's like the circle of life.

Rd 7: Khruangbin & Leon Bridges - B-Side
I don't know what to call this kind of music, I'm just glad they are still working together.
Rd 8: Hatchie - This Enchanted
Catchy dream-pop from another artist I discovered through one of these past drafts.

In the Stone - The Goon Sax
The band's name is a play on words combining the Australian vernacular for boxed wine, a 'goon sack', with the musical instrument the saxophone.

Good stuff, gentlemen. My horizons appreciate the broadening. Unfortunately, I'm sticking with more of what worked for me during previous drafts.
SCS 9AM
Freedom - Jon Batiste
I'll admit to another slight cheat with this next pick. I actually picked this song in one of our drafts a few years back when it was just a single. This is another song where the band finally released an album this year that included their older single. Still love the song. Still feel it deserves to be selected. Enjoy.

Unhate - Cat Power
oh right, this was a very cool song from this year which just came up in Local Valley Radio for me on Spotify. This is a new rendition of her old song Hate.

Live street performance In New Orleans. Her music has been described as "an amalgam of beatnik porch jazz bathing in Southern roots, R&B, folk, and more."
Perfect execution by her and the band, even the car horn @ 4:03 is in sync.
