On second thought, I love Tweeter but the playlist ain't hurting for Dylan...

This was always playing at my house growing up and I don't have any of these guys on my island, so it's sentimental, it's practical and it's awesome.

My mix is all over the place, but what I did comment on is too true and needs to be addressed - I listen to a lot more 70s than my current list indicates.   I started off strong with 4 of 5 of the first albums from the decade, but then nothing after that.   It's been pretty picked over, but some damn good music left for the taking.  I started digging through the CD collection in the car (yeah, I know...) to jog my memory of stuff I listen to a bunch in there.   And one that jumped out was...

40.xx:  GROUNDHOGS - THANK CHRIST FOR THE BOMB (1970)

Strange Town

Garden

I seem to listen to next to nothing in the 70s or at least not enough to grab it before others. Looking at my album list only Fleetwood Mac, The Specials, and The Clash had made the cut and I didn't get any of their 70s albums. My breakdown

1950s - 0

1960s -1

1970s - 0

1980s-9

1990s-19

00s - 2

10s - 9

I thought I would be a little more even with the 80s/90s but I have come to the conclusion that there were a ton of 1-hit/2-hit 80s bands that just didn't have a strong album. The late 80s to mid 90s had just a ton of bands that I connected with + a couple gems on their albums. Then we get the era of chick rock followed by emo rock and it is like I wasn't even listening to music for 15 years.

 
I'll do a 41st rounder.  I keep searching but don't think this was taken?

41.25 - MC5 - Kick Out the Jams (1969)

I dunno what to say?  This is iconic ####.  The question was just raised as to whether we could take same song, different artist.  Well...I'm gonna take the original instead of the [redacted] cover previously taken?

Mrs. Eephus was wearing a MC5 t-shirt yesterday.

 
Phew, caught up with the thread.  Liked more posts in my head than on the page.

I definitely owe round 40 but have no idea what that executive decision stuff was.

I’d swear this album was taken long ago but after a search, apparently not. 

The fact that the PUSA cover of this song was taken 31 rounds before the original is shocking.

@Ilov80s @Eephus, or any others that didn't see the executive orders.

How do we feel about having two versions of the same song on the playlist (different artists...)
Click to expand...
fine. the playlist is like 6 weeks long anyway so odds of getting those 2 in the same playthrough are about as good as getting 3 Black Sabbath songs in a row or Alice in Chains unplugged in your 1st 10 songs like 33.33333% of the time.

It still makes me laugh how many times the same Dylan, Elvis, and The Band song has come up on my shuffles as we round on 2700 songs.  

 
41.20 Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

(2007)

Whoever took Whatever People Say I am That's what I am Not....bueno trabajo. That's like a top-10 or higher album imo and the Arctic Monkeys haven't replicated it since. But this is the closest to close they have come. Before they evolved into a 70s lounge bar act. But hey, Alex Turner just wanted to be one of the Strokes.  this album still kicks some ### so it's coming to my island which is probably somehwere off or on Iceland or somewhere sunny depending on the weather.

but seriously, this album kind of kicks ### even though it had to follow up a hulk hogan in the 80s effort.

songs:

Balaclava

Fluorescent Adolescent

You used to get it in your fishnets

now you only get it in your night dress

discarded all your naughty nights for niceness 

landed in a very common crisis

I think this is 40.34?  I'm drinking, man.  I'm just putting it where I see a slot, and that's what he said.

For sure.  I feel like it hits less frequently, but when it does it hits harder because it's something I wasn't familiar with at all.

not gonna lie that country twangy stuff, stuff i know i don;t like, and Beatles (I know wtf I don't like the Beatles) get skipped pretty much right away these days

 
KarmaPolice said:
:lol:   I do feel like this playlist is much more of crapshoot for me than it was 1 week ago.    Still fun as hell, but the hit rate isn't quite as high as it was as we dig deeper.

Yeah. You figure, out of 40 drafters, we each may have 10-15 with fairly similar/overlapping  tastes? Give or take a few  

So the 25-30 others may be “watering down” the mix relative to your particular tastes. 🤷‍♂️  

Like you said, still a fun listen. 

 
I can re-pick the Simon and Garfunkel. No big deal. I thought the 1991 album was picked. The songs on the playlist are from the 1991 allbum.

I'm confused.  There are two of these?  There was a concert in Central Park in 1991, but the record was released in 1992.  Are you guys saying there were two separate concerts released two separate times?

I'm just the scrivener, so I don't care.  Just need to know what to enter on the spreadsheet.

Simon released one in 91, Simon and Garfunkel released one in 82. Who took it? Can they clean this up?

 
41.07 Arcade Fire Ep (Us Kids Know) 2003

This was Arcade Fire's EP.  It came out before funeral.  There is also a Demos tape (I have it) that was floating around even before this one. Unfortunately that was never released.  The demo tape has some great stuff (Winter For a Year) and I don't understand why they buries it.  This EP is more polished, and I group it with Funeral/Neon/Suburbs myself among their best work. 

Songs are 

My Heart is an Apple (this is an amazing link) rare  Regine at the end!
