Do we just push the 18th round picks to Tuesday?

Agreed. Thread title edited.

 

[sn0mm1s]

Or just do a PM pick?

 

[Mr. Ected]

Or just do a PM pick?

If we push the pick to Tuesday, we are covered in case they delay the reopening of the board. Better safe than sorry.

Since it's Sunday morning, I thought I'd share a couple of my jukebox's most-played Sunday Brunch records.

17A: "As" - Stevie Wonder (1976) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWhMyOs0pCQ

I don't know if I can express how much I love this song. It's funky, but it.......sways, too. I could spend the rest of my life with only Stevie Wonder records and count myself satisfied. This is, though, the one I'd HAVE to have.

17B: "Easy" - Commodores (1977) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XcTyEKSnYg

Lionel Richie hasn't written a lyric that Hallmark didn't already have dibs on, but that ####er knows how to sell "trite" like no one I've ever heard. This song - and the album it came from - will always have a special place in my heart for a lot of reasons that would mean nothing to anyone else.

You ARE easy like Sunday morning.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

1984 Culture Club "Karma Chameleon"

1983 Men Without Hats "Safety Dance"

"Karma Chameleon" is a great song and it's not even their best.

First time I saw the video for "Safety Dance" I was on shrooms. Yeah...........

Yes.

Round 15.2a

This will be fitting in time. Desert Island, losing my marbles, imaginary friend / insanity polluting what's left of my feeble mind.

15.2b

Jimi Hendrix Experience - The Wind Cries Mary - 1967

I'll be that king somewhere with no wife.

I gotta keep up my Dead cred...

8.12 - Uncle John's Band - Grateful Dead (1970)

Guess I got what I deserved...

8.12 - Baby Blue - Badfinger (1971)

i like that badfinger tune. never heard it before.

I've posted this before but here's a post-Peter Ham Badfinger playing on a late night horror movie TV show in Milwaukee in 1982.

Here's the backstory and it's a doozy.

Jebus. That hurt to read.

 

[Aerial Assault]

I just wanted to make a suggestion that everyone make sure they have their own picks saved somewhere independent of FBG. The spreadsheet is working fine for me, but having one's own picks saved on their own drives or whatever seems like a good hedge against the possibility that . . . stay with me here, now . . . something is wrong with the thread when the board returns. I know, that’s COMPLETELY CRAZY. Still.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Sia, "

Thanks, I think

Eephus is the king of the kids music these days

I have a few major gaps in my music knowledge.

Pre 1974, although I've caught most good things here

1995-2000, although I can bluff along here

2011 - Present.

The problem with "modern" music is that it has discarded the filter of record companies. There is so much out there and it's harder to absorb. The good news is that if there is a style of music you like/liked, finding modern bands that sound like that are just a click away.

I'm really, as may have been noticed into the Scandanavian scene of the last 5 years. Lots of electronic stuff that is interesting and very 80s ish, with better technology.

Great double

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

1983 Men Without Hats "Safety Dance"

I actually like this.

How dare this be on your list

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.

17.a Alan Parsons Project, "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" (1982)

A pick I stockpiled mentally since the draft began and was, somewhat amazingly to me, not sniped on, probably because I consider 1982 to be a pretty deep year. "Sirius" is an awesome, iconic instrumental that begins with a pulsing bass doubled by a guitar and by the end incorporates three different synths and even some strings before the bass/guitar undertone leads into "Eye in the Sky," a love song that can also be about the modern-day surveillance state if you want to take an inspirational interpretation of the lyrics. Fantastic lead vocals by the late Eric Woolfson, particularly the two high-pitched concluding lines to the each verse ("And I ain't gonna take anymore/Believe me/The sun in your eyes/Made some of the lies worth believing" and "Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing/Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving".) As a bonus, you can close your eyes and imagine the appropriate frenzied sports introductions in a cheering arena. Thank you to anyone who waited too long to draft this one.

APP is an underrated band that never really put it together for an album. A look at a singles collection and you'd think they should have been massive.

Funny thing is I can listen to almost every hit of theirs and think there's just something missing, but I enjoy it.

Round 17a - Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum (1970)

Round 17b - Real Wild Child (Wild One) - Iggy Pop (1986)

What a delightfully weird combo of picks.

Trivia note - Spirit in the Sky has been a number one in the UK for 3 different artists in 3 different decades

Norman Greenbaum - 1970

Dr and the Medics - 1986

Gareth Gates, Alfie Nixon and the Kumars - 2003

2000 DMX, Party Up.

That's my 2nd rounder

 

[Eephus]

Sia, "

The plus side of the fragmentation of the music scene is there so much new music released. EDM is one genre I struggle with though. I don't experience it in the wild; a middle aged couple on the dancefloor is more conspicuous than the same people on the fringe of the mosh pit. When I see the DJ streams from the big festivals, it seems kind of silly to have one guy with headphones jumping around a huge stage. Maybe I'm just taking the wrong drugs.

Love Dylan and Waits

good reason to start over

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Now to an artist I think is criminally underrated. Such a Sad, but beautiful voice.

I'll hand over to the Boss

I’d lay in bed at night with just the lights of my stereo on and I’d hear ‘Crying’, ‘Love Hurts’, ‘Running Scared’, ‘Only The Lonely’, and and ‘It’s Over’ filling my room. Orbison’s voice was unearthly. He had the ability, like all great Rock and Rollers, to sound like he dropped in from another planet and yet get the stuff that was right to the heart of what you were livin’ in today, and it was how he opened up your vision. I carry his records with me when I go on tour today, and I’ll always remember what he means to me and what he meant to me when I was young and afraid to love. In 1975, when I went into the studio to record, Born To Run, I wanted to make a record with words like Bob Dylan, that sounded like Phil Spector’s productions, but most of all I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison. Now, everybody knows that nobody sings like Roy Orbison.”

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Abrantes already took this band and I have to get one also. Well, they are from Norway after all.

Morten Harket, like Roy Orbison has such a beautiful, but sad voice. Too bad most only remember them for Take on Me.
They are so much more than a teeny band. This is just one of the many highlights since their debut album.

Blur had a fantastic run in the 90s and the only trouble was picking a song. A gap opened up in 1999, so I'll slot this real grower in here. Took me ages to get into this, but now I probably listen to it more than any other.

Mrs Rannous beat me to the Yello punch, but I found a gap. Their best stuff is earlier in the decade, but the competition is tough there.

This song is told so beautifully, with great atmosphere and the accompanying youtube video does a great job of capturing the spirit of the song
