13.16 - Forever and Ever, Amen, Randy Travis - Country

14.04 - Photograph, Def Leppard - Hair Metal

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

The lovely Miss Andrzejewski gets no love in these drafts. I've never drafted this song before, but I fell in love with it again recently.

12.10 - Pat Benatar - We Live for Love - 3:55 - Pop

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

So I can make a round 15 pick tonight?

Fair enough. This is how I make Zilla swoon.

15.Whatever -- Rub You The Right Way - Johnny Gill (New Jack Swing/R&B)

Oops, 1990 NEVERMIND

 

[Usual21]

15.16 - One Way Trigger, The Strokes - Wannabe 80's

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

When the door to one former New Edition member closes ...

15.Whatever - On Our Own -- Bobby Brown (Movie Song)

 

[Chaos Commish]

I had her cued up for cover but pulled it back at last second. Then I was thinking of using her for movie theme but decided on a different direction ghee that also

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

We need a bit more creativity for this category and this was one of the first songs that popped into my head when the category came up.

The Euro's definitely do Silly/Funny/Weird better than most.

This narrowly defeats: Edelweiss - Edelweiss

Grandmaster Chicken and DJ Duck - Check out the Chicken and

Morris Minor and the Majors - Stutter Rap.

The latter 2 may get a run in the Rap category should I change my mind on my current pick

The Video is definitely NSFW as it features cartoon breasts, simulated cartoon sex, bare male cartoon buttocks and cartoon chipmunk smacking

13.10 - Matterhorn Project - Muh! (English Translation = Moo) - 3:52 - Silly/Funny/Weird

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

13.14 Punk/Post Punk -- Butthole Surfers, Pepper

meh

13.14 Pop -- The Primitives, Crash

I swore this was 90s and then I looked and it's 88.

Great choice!

 

[Northern Voice]

When the door to one former New Edition member closes ...

15.Whatever - On Our Own -- Bobby Brown (Movie Song)

This was near the top of my list for movie songs, probably would have been what I picked if I'd gone movie rather than TV

 

[JZilla]

15.Whatever -- Rub You The Right Way - Johnny Gill (New Jack Swing/R&B)

Oops, 1990 NEVERMIND

You almost had me

 

[Northern Voice]

14.04 - Photograph, Def Leppard - Hair Metal

Spotify factor is the only reason I haven't taken any Def Leppard, and even still I'm considering not caring about that.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

15.16 - One Way Trigger, The Strokes - Wannabe 80's

Nice Choice!

 

[Northern Voice]

13.14 Punk/Post Punk -- Butthole Surfers, Pepper

meh

13.14 Pop -- The Primitives, Crash

I swore this was 90s and then I looked and it's 88.

Great choice!

Yeah, love this song, I associate it with the 90s because of Dumb and Dumber.

 

[KarmaPolice]

1. damn Usual for sniping mr. mister

2. who would have expected 3 different people would try to draft that crappy what I am song?

 

[Eephus]

This category is rich with choice, but I'm going with my favorite song of the last 10 years.

Definitely influenced by early OMD, they even supported them on OMD's "History of Modern" tour.

My first Scandanavians for this draft

11.10 - Villa Nah - Envelope - 4:52 - Wannabe 80s

Never heard that one before. Fits the category.

 

[AcerFC]

I like what I am

 

[KarmaPolice]

14.04 -

yeah, do far I think def leppard has been the only thing I haven't been able to see on spotify. had them on deck for a couple categories.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

I was trying to really avoid picking this song for this category, but my choices are limited.

Were this Rock or Heavy Rock, maybe I'd go in a different direction, but Metal/Heavy Metal???

Guess I'm gonna go in the direction of many others and take the song where they "sellout"

14.10 - Metallica - One - 7:27 - Metal/Heavy Metal

I briefly considered Psycho Chicken by The Fools but it was waaaay worse than I remembered it.

14.10 - Metallica - One - 7:27 - Metal/Heavy Metal

I thought it was Metal/Hair Metal

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I've got nothing against What I Am, but it's hard for me to move past the waggish parody lyrics we sang to that song:

I'm not aware of too many things

but I squat like I take a dump when I sing . .

You are correct Sir!

 

[El Floppo]

I'm going to take this one, which was one of my favorite club tunes in my early, early days... it's not on Spotify, so I'll likely rethink it, but wtf.

that's right.

15:X- The Planet Doesn't Mind- Nu-Musik (Dance!)

I thought it was the black album that was the sellout point?

Wow, veeeeerrrry 80's.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Time to dust off the red cod piece & time to wave my hands in the air like I don't care

15.10 - Cameo - Word Up! - 4:20 - R & B /New Jack Swing

 

[KarmaPolice]

13.15 : LIVING COLOUR - CULT OF PERSONALITY (1ST SONG OFF DEBUT)

This was their first video and as far as a hardcore of their original fans are concerned the time when they went in league with Jesus/Satan

 

[KarmaPolice]

15.14 Wannabe 80s -- Small Black, Search Party

Fantastic list so far- a lot of overlap with my predraft lists and a bunch of stuff I didn't consider. Great to see Killing Joke in there, and that Depeche Mode is a perfect song for the cat.

Walking Dead new theme song?

Thanks! I guess it's a bit mainstream but whatever. I like a few other Depeche Mode songs a little better but that one is the epitome of great 80s pop music imo.

 

[sn0mm1s]

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Nice list!

 

[valence]

Never could get into Fleetwood Mac or Steve Miller band but otherwise I look forward to listening to this mix

 

[Fiddles]

Surfers made some tunes in the 80's.. they're all horrible!

Strike that reverse itAll their classic albums were in the 80s

 

[Chaos Commish]

Yeah, I still might go that way for punk post punk. I'd call much of it experimental and maybe classic. Forget the name of it but the song with the guy wretching is pretty hardcore.

 

[JZilla]

Well in the interest of full disclosure, I don't really like their 90's stuff much either

 

[Northern Voice]

So tomorrow morning, round 16 picks can be made up until noon.
