Desert Island "Discs" Draft (2010-2019) - We Did It (2 Viewers)

[Ilov80s]

Phil Collins didn't have an album this deacde...as far as I know

Been ready, it's real, I don't know 'bout you
She just want to smoke and f----
I said "Girl, that's all that we do."

I will look over stuff when I get back from picking the kid up from practice.  Moon Shaped Pool was going to be my next pick.   Probably grab some beers too since our games are cancelled tomorrow and we look to be getting pelted with snow.  

 

[Ilov80s]

Snoopy dog?

I don't know why they been lyin'
But your #### is not that inspirin'
Bank account statement just look like
I'm ready for early retirement

Kurt Warner?

 

[Eephus]

Enter the chamber, and it's a whole different sound
It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel
So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels

I suppose I can't draft all the dream pop.

Another one from my tiny shortlist. Great pick.

By my records, that was the last dream pop album.

Uh, you are ITC too...

Uh, you are ITC too...

Is it my turn to draft?

 

[Ilov80s]

Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
Somewhere between I want it and I got it
Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted

 

[KarmaPolice]

Yeah, my list is definitely not deep enough to go nerdy and not double up on bands.  This is another band that I can't imagine not having anything from on my island.  This one is in the rotation slightly more than the other that has gotten drafted.

4.8:  THE BLACK KEYS - BROTHERS

Too Afraid to Love You

Next Girl

Tighten Up

I guess that puts Tasker ITC with 80s and NV, but not sure if that means we skip to landrys hat.

Was about to post an old football groin-cream remedy, but... Oh well. 

U up rock! 

Nice Arctic Monkeys selections earlier too.

I assume I'm in the chamber. Eeph confirms.

4.10 - Vince Staples - Summertime '06 - 2015 - Def Jam

This late night double-disc jumps all new (clap) trap to put out a traditional album and ascend to my fourth pick on the island. Notice to New York and all coming kings: Def Jam and traditional rap didn't die, even if its future was tangentially odd and West Coast. Sonically minimalist and bleak (note a theme on my decade's island?) the sparse beats give rise to Staples's authoritative voice, constantly poking, prodding, questioning. This has been my jam for the past year. It might be enough within the dad rap dialectic to put this and Big Fish with Kanye or Kendrick, but let's face it, I don't like Vince's 2019 efforts. We shall see how bad he wants the the trad rap mantle, if it were even possible, if I were even invited...

Brief review, song, and lyric link at the spoiler


 
"Summertime ’06 is one of those storytelling rap albums that drop you right into the artist’s own life and city, and paints a vivid picture of the people, places, and experiences that made them. Production-wise, it’s a bleak, minimal album (helmed almost entirely by veteran Chicago producer No I.D.), and the vision for the sonics on this album is as focused as the vision in Vince’s raps. For most artists, an album this carefully constructed is the kind of thing you might spend your entire career building towards. For Vince, it was a launching point. "- Brookyln Vegan - 100 Best Rap and R&B albums of the Decade, #8

Finna spaz 'cause most my homies never finna get this chance
All these white folks chanting when I asked 'em where my ****** at?
Goin' crazy, got me goin' crazy, I can't get wit' that
Wonder if they know, I know they won't go where we kick it at?
Ho, this #### ain't Gryffindor, we really killin', kickin' doors
Fight between my conscious, and the skin that's on my body
Man, I need to fight the power, but I need that new Ferrari
Man, I breathe in, bleed this, Poppy Street
I shot them guns 'cause talk is cheap
Bow your head and pray, okay, now walk wit' me

See, this weight is on my shoulders, pray Jehovah lift me up
And my pain is never over, pills and potions fix me up
I just want to live it up, can a mother####er breathe?
(Can a mother####er breathe?)
Life ain't always what it seems, so please just lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, alright
Lift Me Up (NSFW, as all of these)

3.3 Robyn, Body Talk (2010)

Call Your Girlfriend

Dancing on My Own

Considered it in round one 'cause I figured it could get sniped, but happy it lasted. Incredible, incredible pop on this. Just put it on and my productivity is shot for the foreseeable future. Loving my island so far, much as it could use some sonic variety.

Random aside: Got a black tee from their e-shop at the time that said "This Is Hardcore" in big yellow letters, from the lyrics to Indestructible, and I dig it 'cause it doubles as a Pulp shirt. 

Edited to add Robyn's amazing moves.

My next pick

And you guys can think whatever but 'Dancing on My Own'  is the best song of the 00s with no close second.

Amazing album. 

Yeah, i'd say I got sniped, but that would have been lower on the totem pole at first blush. I'm not sure if I'd rather have a Lamar/Spoon double or a Kanye/Vince Staples combo in the third and fourth. I suppose it's not really getting sniped, it's just how good those albums are that they're easily picked, even by us.

Great album, though. "New York Kiss," was, at one time, in the running for song of the decade in my world.

 

[Eephus]

Ten years is a long time for one song

 

[Eephus]

even a long one

Wouldn't be right for me to go into the Rush thread now

This is my The Black Keys AoTD

 

[Abrantes]

My next pick

I figured you'd be my main competition for this one. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Can’t have the decade without my mans

 

[KarmaPolice]

You still haven't picked your 4th rounder, 80s??

 

[D_House]

And you guys can think whatever but 'Dancing on My Own'  is the best song of the 00s with no close second. 

In my top 10 of the 2000s

My 7 yo daughter loves it. Sings it word for word.

 

[simey]

You still haven't picked your 4th rounder, 80s??

Yeah, NV, Ilove80s, and El Floppo are still ITC

 

[Ilov80s]

You still haven't picked your 4th rounder, 80s??

You can jump ahead of me as along as you aren’t drafting a Drake album released in 2013.
