Desert Island Song Draft - Alphabet thievery afoot - Thievery abounds, XTC and Queen popular. Starting Round 25. Chaos coming (3 Viewers)

Round 15.xx

V - Vain - On The Line



Hair metal greatness from 2005. It should be terrible. It isn't. There are no YouTube videos of it in isolation. Heh. I have linked to the correct time for the song, conveniently enough for all the intrepid listeners out there. (I know you're out there somewhere.)

used: B, E, G, J, K, O, P, Q, S, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

need: A, C, D, F, H, I, L, M, N, R, T
 
RD 14- Ryan Adams- Lucky Now

@PIK95 Thanks for the help last couple days!

Used: A,E,I,J,K,O,P,Q,T,U,V,Y,Z
I hate you for what you did
And I miss you like a little kid
I faked it every time, but that's alright
I can hardly feel anything, I hardly feel anything at all
You gave me fifteen hundred to see your hypnotherapist
I only went one time, you let it slide
Fell on hard times a year ago
Was hoping you would let it go and you did

I have emotional motion sickness
Somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out

I'm on the outside lookin' through
You're throwin' rocks around your room
And while you're bleeding on your back in the glass
I'll be glad that I made it out
And sorry that it all went down like it did
I have emotional motion sickness
Somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out

Hey, why do you sing with an English accent?
I guess it's too late to change it now
You know I'm never gonna let you have it
But I will try to drown you out

You said when you met me you were bored
You said when you met me you were bored
And you, you were in a band when I was born

I have emotional motion sickness
I try to stay clean and live without
And I want to know what would happen
If I surrender to the sound
Surrender to the sound
 
In an act of cruelty and charity, I am going to steal from @Ilov80s . The charity is that I'm doing it now instead of leaving him with a tough letter at the very end, and also that by being stolen from once now, he has a possibility open up...we'll see if he takes it.

I hereby STEAL The Zombies and am changing the song. This is all of my steals, so you can all breathe a sigh of relief. :)

16.k4 The Zombies - She's Not There
lol thanks I guess
 
14.B - Phoebe Bridgers - "Motion Sickness"

A very important song for me.

B, C, F, G, I, J, N, O, P, Q, R, U, Y, Z

My oldest daughter saw her open for Tay Tay and play this song. Would have gladly seen her open and then swap places with my daughter (although I'm sure the Swift part was amazing - or so I've been told)
She was my first show after Covid, early summer 2021 when artists had started touring again. Open-air show at a gorge amphitheater, and she killed it. Highly recommend.
 
I believe I owe two

R. R.E.M. - Second Guessing

Another band I considered for the single artist 31 but there's no second guessing now except for this song.

I have been playing Reckoning a TON the last month or so. It may be my favorite by them now. Every day I play it once at least. I was gonna use REM as my backup if I got sniped. I was just trying to decide if I was gonna use the two songs before yours. Pretty Persuasion or Time After Time (Annelise). Camera is probably my third favorite. What a record. Great pick.
 

G. Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye - You're A Special Part Of Me​

I'm leaving Marvin Gaye available for others either as a solo artist or with another duet partner.

I picked this song because Diana and Marvin do more than just swap verses like a lot of duets do. The sound is the glorious excess of early LA-era Motown. You can hear the swimming pools, movie stars and cocaine in the mix.

Isaac, your friendly bartender, hath declared October in May - via the Lodi, N.J. crew of Glen Anzalone and the Caiafa bruddahs 🇮🇹

Halloween - The Misfits


17.xx

speaking of "bruddahs", the dumdum crew from Forest Hills clock in with my favorite deep cut of theirs, off of the vastly underrated "Pleasant Dreams" ... perhaps Johnny's most melodic moment -

Sitting In My Room - The Ramones

off for some shufflebored on the Lido deck
 
16.pik Mobb Deep - Shook One's (Pt. II)

A, B, C, E, H, J, L, M, N O, P, Q, R, U, V, and W
I'd considered this one, but I've taken it a bunch of times in the past and trying to fill my list with mostly artists I haven't really selected before. Love the pick.
 
16.7 Take My Breath by The Weeknd

17.1
The Heart Part 5 by Kendrick Lamar

A,D,E,F,H,I,K,L,O,Q,T,U,V,W,X,Y, Z

Kendrick rapping to a beat based on one of my favorite Marvin Gaye songs? Yeah that will do just fine.
Is Kendrick a K or an L? I couldn't tell when I was considering him, since Lamar isn't his last name. I didn't want our JML overlords to go down another rabbit hole though....
I assumed an L. Kind of like Elton John. It’s his stage name and functions like a last name.
