80s Genre/Categories Mixtape Draft - Draft Underway (1 Viewer)

[zamboni]

I'm not guilty at all about this, but no doubt some will feel I should be, so I'll take it:

7.xx Climax Blues Band - "I Love You" (guilty pleasure)

 

[sn0mm1s]

Did we lose the first few rounds? Does the doc need to be rolled back?

 

[Northern Voice]

Seriously, who keeps ####### up the google doc?

 

[simey]

I'm not guilty at all about this, but no doubt some will feel I should be, so I'll take it:

7.xx Climax Blues Band - "I Love You" (guilty pleasure)

Damn, zam. I was going to draft that for soft rock.

 

[Northern Voice]

I think it's fixed again

 

[sn0mm1s]

Seriously, who keeps ####### up the google doc?

I think anyone that views this thread can edit the doc... doesn't even need to be someone in the draft. I think you can just keep using "Undo" to roll it back. At that point you might want to lock it down so only you can edit it.

I always thought this song was by Chicago

 

[Mr. Ected]

Seriously, who keeps ####### up the google doc?

I hope it isn't me, I have just been updating the list with songs as people have been adding them here.

 

[Vike Me]

I owe two, sorry for not being around. It will be better next week...

6.19 West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys - 1986 - (UK #1)

7.01 Save A Prayer - Duran Duran - 1982 - (New Wave/Synthpop)

It's when someone filters it, it filters for everyone so some cells aren't visible.

Yeah it wouldn't be you, enterring is good, filtering bad.

 

[JZilla]

no more filtering, #######s!

Well, you zapped me by taking "The Zoo"

 

[Northern Voice]

Gotta run to lunch. Here you go....


7.12 - Magic Power, Triumph (Non US/UK band)

I think this was the last pick on the clock. So...

7 . 14 - Chaos Commish --- timed out at :42
7 . 15 - Karma Police --- timed out at :57
7 . 16 - Usual 21 --- timed out at :12
7 . 17 - sn0mm1s --- otc still :27
7 . 18 - Ramsay Hunt Experience --- Auto-Skip
7 . 19 - Helltoupee ---

 

[zamboni]

7.01 Save A Prayer - Duran Duran - 1982 - (New Wave/Synthpop)

Great pick - love this tune.

 

[El Floppo]

I owe two, sorry for not being around. It will be better next week...

7.01 Save A Prayer - Duran Duran - 1982 - (New Wave/Synthpop)

Their best tune, IMO. nice pick.

 

[sn0mm1s]

7.17 Drivin' My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt - Country

 

[El Floppo]

Funny- I started off thinking I was going to just draft loud, guitar driven rocky tunes... kind of changed my mind for now.

7.X- Der Mussonlini- Deutsch Americanische Freundschaft (D.A.F.) (Fuzzy Ferner, aka Non US/UK)

Picked this up travelling with a soccer team in West Berlin- back in the days when employees at record stores would put things on the turntables for you to listen. Pretty sure the song crossed over here too... but here ya go, regardless.

Live version... jeebus, I went to way too many shows that looked just like this.

 

[Mr. Ected]

7.17 Drivin' My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt - Country

Another snipe. Was holding that off, figuring nobody would pick that song. Wrong again. Great song! infectious lyrics. Can remember them decades after hearing the song.

 

[Vike Me]

7.17 Drivin' My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt - Country

windshield wipers slappin out a tempo

keepin perfect rhythm with the song on the radio

Awesome pick.

 

[sn0mm1s]

We giving Helltoupee 15 minutes or 30 minutes?

 

[Usual21]

Moving I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney to Dance from R&B, and taking...

7.16 - Ain't Nobody, Chaka Khan - R&B

Quick anecdote: Had Chaka Khan drive through my lane on the New Jersey Turnpike when I worked there as a young man about 18 years ago. I knew who she was immediately and was starstruck. Asked me for directions to the Goethals Bridge and was on her way.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Ok I'll pretty up later. On my phone

7:18-- The Devil's Right Hand. -- Steve Earle (Country)

 

[sn0mm1s]

Top 3 so far: Vike Me, Simey, Snommis.

So are these drafts usually judged at the end?

You know me. I judge everything...whether people like it or not.

scooped on the Missile

 

[Northern Voice]

Thoughts on weekend, just no clock, pick if you get to your turn, or no clock 3ITC?

 

[Eephus]

scooped on the Missile

I was disappointed that Detachable Penis was 90s

 

[Eephus]

Thoughts on weekend, just no clock, pick if you get to your turn, or no clock 3ITC?

How about everybody making one Saturday and one Sunday picks just to keep things moving?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

8.8 - Kayleigh, Marillion (Soft Rock)

Kayleigh, I'm still trying to write that love song,
Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone.
Maybe it'll prove that we were right
Or it will prove that I was wrong.

I really like how he delivers that last line.

There's some good stuff on Fluting On The Hump. I was trying to decide between "Sensitive Artist" and "Take Stuff From Work", but now it doesn't much matter.
