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

[Uruk-Hai]

There are some songs where I just fall in love with the woman singing it. I don't care if she looks like Shirley Hemphill from What's Happening.....doesn't matter. This song ####ed me up the first time I heard it and the atmosphere built around her voice drives the stake deeper.

16B: "Linger" - Cranberries (1993)

Lowe's wanted you to.........linger

 

[timschochet]

I don't like Nickelback or Billy Ocean. I have to really like the stuff I pick.

 

[Eephus]

I don't like Nickelback or Billy Ocean. I have to really like the stuff I pick.

Billy Ocean is way more beautiful than James Blunt

16B: "Linger" - Cranberries (1993) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Kspj3OO0s

Just heard this while shopping in Lowe's - really good tune.

Lowe's wanted you to.........linger

Shes got such a sweet lilt to her voice...love that brogue.

 

[timschochet]

I don't like Nickelback or Billy Ocean. I have to really like the stuff I pick.

Billy Ocean is way more beautiful than James Blunt

Weakest song on my list, for sure. Terrible year for pop music. But I still like it.

She's got a bit of a lisp, too. Could drive a fella crathy

Weakest song on my list, for sure. Terrible year for pop music. But I still like it.

Possibly the weakest song on the uberlist. It's was the only song I fast forwarded through while listening last night. I think I tapped out after one chorus.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

16th (a): THE ROLLING STONES - Brown Sugar (1971)

spreadsheet updated with picks made on pages 68-70.

If someone is feeling industrious, you can skip those pages

 

[sn0mm1s]

My playlist on spotify is already 2 and a half hours long and I still have 20 songs to pick.

Mine's at the 1 hour 40 minute mark (though one song isn't on spotify). At least if drafters don't like my musical tastes they won't spend much time listening to my music.

 

[sn0mm1s]

Question - is it a mulligan to switch out a song for not being on Spotify?

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Yo Mama picks:

16.08 - Chop Suey!, System of a Down (2001)

Whyd you leave the keys upon the table?

16.08 - Stronger, Kanye West (2007)

Need some more dance music in this box

Excellent double!Almost went System of a Down in another year

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

We Are the World???

There's a choice we're making. We're saving our own lives; it's true we make a better day just you and me.

British Singers: Feed the World

American Singers: WE are the World

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

For Round 16

Going with early 1990s

1991 - Nightingale Song - Toad the Wet Sprocket

Another song from the album 'fear,' earlier AA picked 'Fall Down,' also a great song.

1993 - Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz

That Kravitz song blew me away when i first heard it. still holds up well

 

[Eephus]

Question - is it a mulligan to switch out a song for not being on Spotify?

Yeah, it's still a mulligan. You can swap it out an the end. Opening up mulligans now would be chaos.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Having fun following along and playing from the sidelines. Like always, these get me thinking back to all the good tunes over the days and I get caught up in song after song on youtube ...and looking stuff up on allmusic and billboard.

I dropped a note to Eephus, I am working on a variation of this with only 1 artist as much as possible - along with either strong influences on the artist or artists that he influenced or that maybe has covered one of his tunes. I haven't gotten too far into yet, other than spreadsheeting all of his songs by album and year.

I think I can do two versions - one of softer, ballad stuff, lighter pop and then some rock/harder tunes. Still have to lay this out more.

I will post late in the draft, don't want to highlight or create more work in the draft spreadsheet.

PM me if you want/need some research help. I am watching golf and eating taco cups.

Make 25 picks today, or whatever eephus said was the ferry-fee.

I've got enough records in the chamber to fill this entire draft. Because I'm an idiot.

16.10 Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime (1980)

you sniped me.

I went to see NC State play earlier today in Raleigh, and my nephew found a new girlfriend.

After the game we went to his brother's recital. He is 13 and plays drums, and he drummed to the song Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Two girls did a rendition of a Smashing Pumpkins' song, and they were really good. One girl played guitar and sang, and the other played drums.

My sister found out today that her husband tested positive for CDiff. He is so sick, but is a bit better than yesterday. His intestines are still twisted, and they may perform surgery tomorrow. We'll see.

 

[Mister CIA]

No rest for the weary. I owe five picks. Let's see what happens.

I nearly picked Linger by the Cranberries, but went with Love Battery instead.

 

[simey]

LOVE this song:

16.xx Tom Waits - (Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night (1974)

Me too.

 

[simey]

I nearly picked Linger by the Cranberries, but went with Love Battery instead.

I almost did too, but ended up going with Ordinary World.

 

[Mister CIA]

PICK: Land by Patty Smith, 1975

I remember being repulsed by pics of her hairy armpits in Rolling Stone when I was very impressionable. Too bad I never heard this song on the radio way back then, because I would have grown up a better person.

 

[Mister CIA]

Can't count the times I've blocked myself from picking a song I want. I'm counting on a few of you old reliables to make this draft legit with the 1976 pick.

 

[Mister CIA]

Can you name that tune in one note?

Bennie and the Jets by Elton John, 1973

 

[AcerFC]

As promised, links for my last 4 picks

Train Kept a Rollin, Back when Aerosmith rocked and would never have been chosen by tim in a love theme jukebox draft

Nervous Breakdown One of the most punk songs and it fit my theme so was a no brainer. Im one of the people who think BF was better without Rollins

6th Avenue Heartache, decent enough. Fits the theme and uruk jacked One Headlight

The Rising- same as above but no one jacked anything

 

[Mister CIA]

This song had a profound impact on my air guitar abilities.

New Year's Day by U2, 1980

 

[simey]

Can't count the times I've blocked myself from picking a song I want. I'm counting on a few of you old reliables to make this draft legit with the 1976 pick.

Are you having drafters remorse? You can always take a mulligan after the draft. There are so many songs I want to draft in the 70s, cause I love the decade of music, and so many genres in it. In '76 I ended up going with 10cc, cause I think it represents 70s pop well, and I didn't think anyone would put it on their jukebox. I also wanted a song from '76 from a band that begins with a B, but didn't do it. Still want it on my jukebox. Wouldn't mind having a specific disco song from that year too. Can't have them all.

 

[rockaction]

Yo Mama picks:

16.08 -

I listened to this album non-stop in '01. I love the band. Toxicity was featured in The Secret Life Of Pets ad during the Super Bowl. A French poodle clicks the song once the owners leave.

 

[simey]

This song had a profound impact on my air guitar abilities.

New Year's Day by U2, 1980

I like the piano in it.

6th Avenue Heartache, decent enough. Fits the theme and uruk jacked One Headlight

The Rising- same as above but no one jacked anything

Full agreement here. Keith Morris proved himself with that other band he had, the one who cut the greatest L.A. hardcore album of all-time, possibly.

I wouldn't call it remorse as I definitely love my Death pick, but there's a yuge hit from 1976 that escaped my mind.

ETA: YouTube search of "biggest hit of 1976" reveals that I could not be more vague. What a tremendous year for pop music!

It was a great year in general for music in '76. Send me a PM and tell me which one you are talking about.

 

[Aerial Assault]

16.a Sia, "Chandelier" (2014)

Masterfully sung electropop ballad that finally persuaded me from not taking a catchy hit from an artist I already selected. A rumination on the sad life of a party girl originally written to be offered to Beyonce or Rihanna, Sia Furler sang it herself and enjoyed by far her biggest success. The mix behind the vocal manages to straddle the line between pure EDM and a nice mix of piano and guitars. For my money this is as good as a vocal on any Adele song. I substituted out of 2015 so this will be the most recent song on my juke.

16.b Avicii, "Hey Brother" (2013)

A terrifically sung dance hit from Swedish producer Avicii that somehow manages to effect a seamless blend of electronic music and country behind a wonderful doubletracked vocal (with a fantastic harmony) by "Man of Constant Sorrow" remaker and Allison Krauss collaborator Dan Tyminski. There's no real bass and the percussion is probably a program loop, but there's enough guitar and synth parts to make the song interesting even without the lead vocal.

 

[Mister CIA]

I think this next pick will get me caught up.

Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger, 1997

Don't have a clue what this song is about, but it's 151 proof pop.

 

[Fiddles]

Yo Mama picks:

16.08 - Chop Suey!, System of a Down (2001)

Whyd you leave the keys upon the table?

16.08 - Stronger, Kanye West (2007)

Soad nice one. Been trying to decide what to take from them. Lots to choose from.

Yeah, was bebating between this one and another in a different year.

 

[Fiddles]

This will probably get me thrown out of this thread, but Tom Waits is a sham. His early stuff - before he decided croaking was the best way to "sing" - wasn't bad. The music behind him is ok, but the "Hey, man, you just don't Get It" from big fans is silly. I get it, alright.

You don't like it cool but he's about as far from a sham as you can get.

 

[Fiddles]

For Round 15

Here are a pair of picks from a show together in the late 90's. My opening pick is a band I'd never heard of before this show, and have since become one of my favorites. A Boston band, who at the time were only a trio (since added a fourth) and I loved the way the drummer played mostly bongos and cymbals and other percussion instruments. They can't be that bad, they have made it onto two Keerock Christmas albums!

1999 - Guster - Barrel of a Gun

They opened for The Barenaked Ladies. One of my favorite shows I'd ever gone to. Unlike a lot of bands, they just seem to be having fun on the stage, interacting with the crowd, and not taking things too seriously. Unfortunately, they took a turn down in 2009, when Steven Page left the band. He has such an incredible voice, and lots of their songs are duets, so if you lose one of the voices...

1998 - The Barenaked Ladies - Alcohol

The version of the Daryl hall tune I posted this round is from gusters appearance on live from daryls house.

[Aerial Assault]

Sia, "

Nice, glad you liked! You are definitely far more comfortable in the modern EDMsphere than I am, so your seal of approval means a lot.

 

[Eephus]

Sia, "

I like the AcerFC remix version of the Avicii track

Mr. R and I went to our date movie, so I didn't finish Round 16. (Deadpool, for those who are wondering.)

Because it's Valentine's Day, and i just saw Deadpool.
