[New Binky the Doormat]

RD 26: "N" - Graham Nash - Chicago

ok, I took a hard left again - typically my pick is always going to be "The Nazz - Open My Eyes" ...but I have taken it a lot ...just like my "S" artist/song that I skipped over last pick

also, I didn't know much about this song, but it's about Graham Nash asking Stills and Crosby to come to a Chicago fundraiser for the Chicago 7 ...pretty cool.

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

so @landrys hat is up I believe ...

 

[krista4]

Wait, that's stupid. 75.

Well, choosing my last artist with a "guess the number" game is stupid.

Going to be curious to see what he gets at X with his theme. I have no ideas on that one.

You people who didn't steal or get stolen from are boring.

For my last selection, I wanted again to honor a song I learned of in the Worldwide middle-aged dummies countdown, but I simply could not decide between two of them.

My number was 27, so JML's song wins:

26.k5 A-ha - Foot of the Mountain

(Runner-up was rock's selection of The Avalanches - Because I'm Me )

 

[krista4]

I wish I'd done the whole list, as I originally intended, of new-to-me or reminded-to-me songs from the dummy countdowns. I did end up with several:

A-ha - with thanks to John Maddens Lunchbox

The Beatles

Leonard Cohen

Nick Drake

Eels

First Aid Kit – with thanks to Dr. Octopus, landrys hat, westerberg, and Ilov80s

Guided By Voices

George Harrison

Icehouse - with thanks to Sullie

Grace Jones – with thanks to Eephus

Lord Huron - with thanks to KarmaPolice

The Kinks

Paul McCartney

The New Pornographers - with thanks to simey

Of Monsters and Men - with thanks to MAC_32

Prince

Queen and David Bowie

Otis Redding

The Smiths

The Teskey Brothers - with thanks to Hov34

Uncle Tupelo

Townes Van Zandt

Stevie Wonder

XTC

Neil Young

The Zombies

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Now losing Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody hurt, but because Brian May and Roger Taylor need to provide for their families/have become such whores, there are loads of opportunities to still take them.

Only question is which version

Queen and Paul Rodgers? Rodgers doesnt have the range of Freddie so only comes in during the rock bit and lets Freddie sing the rest
Queen and Adam Lambert? Lambert has the range, but while its good, its not enough

That leaves me with only one choice

25 Queen and the Muppets - Bohemian Rhapsody

Really? Such an odd thing to hate.
I was once wearing my Kermit the Frog tie….yeah Im that guy….and this Korean woman freaks out telling me she will have nightmares for days and to please take it off. Gonzo, I get, but Kermit?

My son loves this version. It probably helps that the references to murder were removed.

 

[rockaction]

There's a Miss Piggy joke in here somewhere, but I'm not sure I like where it's headed. Nothing to do with nationality, just the whole "moi" thing.

@tuffnutt is up if he's still in it

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

As we are approaching the 27th round, for those still in it.....not so fast Mrs Rannous and Pik95, heres what we will do.

It will be free for all, with only 2 provisions
1) Pick an artist already chosen. Any letter. Any artist. Any time, once all 26th round picks are made. Its yours
2) Pick any song from that artist EXCEPT the one chosen by the original drafter.

FIN

14 of us could pick the same artist, but I doubt it. O/U on duplicate artists = 2

Nice! I couldn't decide if I should try for "flow" or just go alphabetically. Your decision has freed me up not to think much about it and just go A-Z, too.
