DI Jukebox Draft (66-15)- Listen up (1 Viewer)

Wait, we are supposed to design this list so others will want to pay money, dance, and sing along to this mix? It can't just be a jukebox for my man-cave filled with Radiohead songs and 10min jams?

would have been fun but somehow I missed this thread. If something opens up, I'd be interested in joining. (or go to 22 teams!)

Maybe I just haven't been in the correct bars, but I always equate "jukebox" song to songs played to death at weddings and the radio.

I think we'll all have our own associations. Odds are pretty good that I'll pick a song that I sang along to with a homeless guy while waiting for a half-smoke at Ben's Chili Bowl.

 
I'm probably overdoing it with the jukebox references but this is basically a mixtape draft without any particular sequence of tracks. Think of 50 songs on shuffle.

I'm probably going light on ambient ballads and string quartets but YMMV

 
Yeah, I won't have a theme. I might have a philosophy, but it's kind of an anti-philosophy.

My idea of a great jukebox song isn't much different than my idea of a great song. I appreciate lizard-brain music. Riffs, hooks, sing-along choruses. Songs that make me want to dance, fight, f***, cry, or scream along.

EDIT: But that's not because I care about the theme of the draft. That's just my thing.

I think whatever scarcity there is in this format will be with the more modern stuff, especially with this crew of drafters. Nobody is going to have to check IDs at the door of our bars.

The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face (2015)

This was the jam of last year. Even the people who say they don't listen to new stuff probably overheard it somewhere. It's the best Michael Jackson song since his death with an irresistible hook as it goes from the verse to the chorus. And it's about doing coke so there's that.

My problem is going to be the older stuff, actually. Pretty sure I can wing it for the past 15 years and find plenty of decent stuff.....it's the 60s and 70s that will be more difficult for me.

Ask Zamboni to help you. He didn't get in for the exact opposite reason as you. He's great with the older stuff.

 
I thought we were making two picks each time up in order to avoid 50 rounds of drafting? I'm ok either way but just wanted to clear it up.

I'll be fine, but there won't be many deep cuts off albums.

I don't think I could work with a Bills fan anyway.

Nobody is going to poach his favorite Girl School single.

That's my plan

 
Been deciding on a theme for this...

Question about: B Sides:

most Jukeboxes I remembered had an artist's biggest hit and then their other song selection was always some lesser known tune by the same artist.

Am I remembering that correctly about Juke Boxes? There was one well known song and one nearly unknown song by each artist?

Also, now that I have my recording software set up with my piano, wondering if I should make every selection by posting a piano cover to youtube. Could be fun, or maybe too cumbersome - haven't decided yet.

You are correct about 45's

A lot of jukeboxes from the past could play both sides of a 45.

 
I always liked when the B-side was just an alternate cut or clear call back to the single. Like (and I'm totally making this up) you might get "Arthur Conley -- Sweet Soul Music/ More Sweet Soul Music" or "Tag Team -- Whoomp: There it Is / Whoomp: Did I Mention I Like Butts?"

 
Is I love 80's the same as Junior NB? I am awful with who is who but there are not that many 80's fans around. I just had a moment of clarity I think. Maybe my concussion symptoms of the last two years are finally lifting!

:shrug: have you ever seen them in the same room?

 
My theme will be love songs. I'm feeling romantic these days.

And I will begin with 2015 and work my way backwards. (mainly so that I don't have to figure out what years I still need to draft.)

 
The thing I miss most about participating in these is all the excellent new mixes to listen to with songs I've never heard before.

 
Quick question - what about songs that are separate but are best when played back to back and have been released live together? (At least I think they were)

I'm not going to have a theme, per se, but I spent a fair amount of time in taverns for a fair amount of years (& a fair amount of money in jukeboxes). So I'm going to pick records I can remember being played a lot, or (for the newer stuff) sound like a song I'd play a lot if I was still hanging in bars. The more recent years are gonna be problematic for me and I'll probably burn all 5 of my pre-'66 options in this century.
