boss-man said that as long as it's a different instrument (ie: piano, vs synth, vs organ, vs harpsichord, etc) you're good to go.

Make-up pick ... time for a slow jam:
My name is Shakespeare
A world-class poet
Lay down and relax yourself, baby
While I pour you a glass of Moët
4.18: "Turn Off The Lights", World Class Wrecking Cru (Drug/Alcohol - Champagne)

Make-up pick ... an even slower jam. Apologies for the cheezy grapics:
5.02: "Tell Me What You Dream", Timothy B. Schmit (Solo Song from Band Member - Eagles)
Yeah, yeah, I know ... don't pick any Eagles. But remember -- I was the guy that kicked off the Soft Rock Draft. So you can't groan too loudly
Anyone know the huge country hit cover of this one?

Great way to start a career for Michel'le, too. She was dating the record's producer, Dr. Dre, at the time "Turn Off the Lights" was being laid down. The original female singer couldn't make the recording session, so an on-hand Michel'le stepped into the booth.World Class Wrecking Cru might be the best name ever.
"hey. what's happenin' baby."

5.20 Lazy Sunday - Small Faces (Month/Day)
I owe my love of this record to one of the ubermega nerd drafts: the album of the year draft where we had to pick one album for each year from the fall of the Roman Empire to presents. I waited on 1968 and all the obvious picks were off the board. I liked the Rod Stewart Faces but only was familiar with the hits from the Steve Marriott era. I saw Ogden's Gone Nut Flake on some list, downloaded it, listened and fell in love with the oddball psychedelia. It would be one of the albums on my Desert Island list if the island came with Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy and a few sheets of LSD.

I like these drafts because I listen to stuff outside my comfort zone. I have broader tastes than a lot of people but I still end up listening mostly to new stuff (some of which isn't so great), the next band I'm going to see, artists and genres that I already love, stuff that Mrs. Eephus plays, etc. From this draft, I'll end up listening to some bluegrass, some classics, Nigerian funk and Deutschen Lieder (whatever that is) to name just a few.
So much music. Not enough time.

This pick takes Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, etc. off the board in this category.Oh, my god. It's the slow dance at the prom.Make-up pick ... an even slower jam. Apologies for the cheezy grapics:

So there is a God
ETA: The sax solo at the 3 minute mark of the Schmit song
In my mind's eye, it's played by that greased up musclehead who performed in The Lost Boys.

5.10 Long As I Can See The Light - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Bros (family)
I don't think I've ever selected a song by these guys before in our drafts, which is weird because I like them. Crazy how acrimonious things got between John and the rest of the guys (including his own brother).

I had to get that in before someone else picked a Golden Gopher referencing song.

Oops, just seeing this. I just saw your pick and knew I had back to backs. I can take my #6 pick back if anyone wanted the group of the song...

as chock full o' references as their songs are, you could pretty much draft something of theirs for every category imaginable.

Went looking for a video for the spreadsheet, and noticed that the drummer was wearing a Rush t-shirt. Band can't be that bad!

Yeah, I thought if we had a reference to literary characters category, that song would be my #1 pick.

We can keep going this afternoon.
Remainder of round 6 and any makeups on Saturday

ah. thanks.
I didn't know Belle and Sebastian were cannucks.
also very glad the pick that first jumped to mind isn't getting grabbed (only could think of two total)- love seeing all of these.

Beautiful pick. I was trying to use Small Faces somewhere in the draft and overlooked this one.
I freaking love Steve Marriott - drafted Humble Pie many a time in these drafts. Have been delving deeper into the Small Faces and I like everything they ever did. Talk about a criminally underrated band.

There are tons and tons of sibling bands. Any genre you want. From huge icons to one-EP garage bands.

6.02 Color Decay - Júníus Meyvant - Foreign Country (Iceland)
Júníus Meyvant is a solo project by Icelandic singer/songwriter Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson. As far as I can tell, "Color Decay" is the first and so far only song he's released. The gorgeous brass and strings arrangement blew me away when I stumbled onto upon it last year. I linked to a live performance so you can see Sigurmundsson in all his Ginger glory but the studio version is better. I'm looking forward to a full album's worth of material from him.

Inhaling household cleaning products is A-OK if that's your thing.Nasal spray? You know where I can score some?Now I am being difficult: what about items that arent "drugs" but used to get one high?
Songs about holding your breath and spinning around really fast or ingesting massive amounts of nutmeg probably won't qualify.

Will we go back to a normal format on Monday? Pretty please? I don't really see a need to rush. There are tons of picks left in the categories, so I'd like to savor the music. (I'm listening to your pick right now.)
