DI Jukebox Draft (66-15)- Listen up (2 Viewers)

I have probably told this story before, but my favourite live band are Arkells and The Hold Steady. A couple years ago i saw Arkells in my hometown in a small club show and they were playing 'John Lennon' (my 6th round pick), and flawlessy transitioned into a cover of The Way We Get By. I think I legitimately teared up. Music is incredible.
:thumbup: don't Arkells always throw a cover or two into the middle of their sets? I didn't get to see them after the most recent tour. Been at least a year and a half now since I've seen em.

It's been very difficult to not just pick a bunch of Canadian indie rock to fill my mix here....lots of good music coming out of the GTA/Southern Ontario in the past few years.

Thanks for the well wishes. My BIL has had a ####ty month. He has been redoing their basement, and three 1/2 weeks ago he was sawing his last piece of wood for the night with an electric saw, and a finger wasn't completely out of the way, and the saw hit it. When he jerked his hand up it cut two more fingers. He ended up having stitches in all three fingers, and chopping off a chunk of the tip of one finger. It's on his dominant hand too.

Yeah, they often do left field covers too, I've seen them do Katy Perry, Bryan Adams, Lady Gaga... they almost always have at least one Motown cover in their setlist as well.

 
14.12 - Ordinary World - Duran Duran (1993)
This was a great comeback song by them. After their huge early-mid '80s success, they were kind of bleh, but this was a gem. Love the guitar work here of Warren Cuccurullo, who used to play with Zappa and Missing Persons, and replaced Andy Taylor. I still say that, pound for pound, John Taylor was one of best bass players of his day.

Wasn't John in the Power Station? That was an underrated band. I loved that ####.

No disrespect intended, but has your BIL defiled an ancient Native American burial ground, perchance?

Yeah, was John Taylor and Andy Taylor from Duran Duran along with Robert Palmer and the great Tony Thompson (Chic) on drums.

:lol: It sure seems that way.

Also the soundtrack to one of my favorite movie scenes ever, the diner scene in Layer Cake (may be NSFW - violence)

14. ? a - Bloc Party - "This Modern Love" (2005)

I know these guys get some #### these days for how badly they fell off after Silent Alarm, but I still love that album. I drafted it in the best albums of the 00s draft we had here and still listen to it as much now as I did then. This song wasn't released as a single so I figured it'd be a more obscure track but apparently it's one of the biggest cult-following hits other than the 2 big singles off the album.

We had a band for our wedding, so the only real input I had for music other than picking their songs was to create a Spotify playlist for during dinner. This was the first song I put on the mix. It's a pretty damn good love song.

Considering mulliganing that My Morning Jacket song and going back to the black artists theme at the end. This song fits either the heavy indie rock section or the black artists theme, a crossover pick.

1966 - The Supremes - "You Keep Me Hangin' On"
1967 - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
1968 - The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "All Along the Watchtower"
1970 - Toots & The Maytals - "Pressure Drop"
1971 - Bill Withers - "Ain't No Sunshine"
1972 - Stevie Wonder - "Superstition"
1973 - Al Green - "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)"
1977 - Bob Marley - "One Love/People Get Ready"
1978 - Earth, Wind & Fire - "September"
1979 - The Sugarhill Gang - "Rapper's Delight"
1983 - Lionel Richie - "All Night Long (All Night)"
1984 - Billy Ocean - "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)"

1986 - Run DMC - "It's Tricky"

1987 - Eric B & Rakim - "I Ain't No Joke"
1988 - Bobby Brown - "My Prerogative"
1989 - Bell Biv Devoe - "Poison"
1990 - A Tribe Called Quest - "Can I Kick It?"

1995 - Mobb Deep - "Shook Ones (Pt. II)"
1996 - Fugees - "No Woman No Cry"
2000 - OutKast - "B.O.B."
2003 - My Morning Jacket - "One Big Holiday"

Love this song.

 
Yep, this is the song that started my next main musical obsession after Huey Lewis. 11 year old KP got his world rocked after listening to this song. Same girl that I had my first "date" with at Back to the Future a year before was in the drum section with me in band. Went over to her house to work on a song that we had to play. Get there, and her and her older brother had some Maiden cranked up. Loved the song, loved the artwork, and in the next couple weeks I got my hands on a couple other older albums. Been one of my favorite bands since then. I had been listening to some hair metal type stuff before then, but this is what started me down the more metal path too. Proud Daddy moment came this morning - my 9 year old took his ipod and dock into the bathroom for his shower. First song he turned to was this one, and I could hear him singing along....

14th(a): IRON MAIDEN - Wasted Years (1986)
