I don't think that's exactly how that category works, but I have no qualms with it.

Sorry, didn't notice. I don't have a song queued up and have to leave the office. Skip me for now, I will pick in like an hour or two.

It's the most wide open category IMO. I thought it was a good suggestion because this is ostensibly a sports-centric board but there just aren't that many songs that contain direct references. I'm curious to see how fast and loose people take this one. KP's pick is right at the chewy center of this category.

Another one I wasn't familiar with.

Tidbit 1: I could have actually slotted this tune under family business. Guitar player/singer = mom; drummer = dad; bass player = son.Another one I wasn't familiar with.
Possible category for future draft: songs that reference other songs
Tidbit 2: Dad, Doug Tibbles, has several sit-com writing credits

Love that album. The 1970s El Lay music scene got a lot of grief during the post-punk years for being soft but man, it produced some great sounding records.

No, mine is. I just assumed it was in the title. That totally changes my approach,My reading comprehension down again?

The Star Spangled Banner could be drafted as the Stars, Rockets or Braves.No, mine is. I just assumed it was in the title. That totally changes my approach,

it is a great album. I actually think Excitable Boy is even better.

Yeah, this was my category suggestion for this very reason. I did envision it as having to be a reference to a team of some sort, either real or fictional, within the song---so the Lion Sleeps Tonight would not count as a Detroit Lions reference. But I don't really care.

Some people will play it hardcore and others won't. I was trying to keep this from becoming too much of a searching/filtering exercise.

It is called having draft integrity. Some have it, some don't.The Star Spangled Banner could be drafted as the Stars, Rockets or Braves.No, mine is. I just assumed it was in the title. That totally changes my approach,

Back in college, my new cell phone finally had the amazing ability to record ringtones. This inevitably led to many, many ####ty-quality homemade ringtones, such as my famous ringtone of Dennis Green shouting "they are who we thought they were....and we let em off the hook."
But one longtime ringtone was so legendary and memorable that to this day, people still text me out of the blue when it comes on the radio, as the song will permanently remind them of me and my ####ty phone. So bad, yet so, so good. Always have a special place in my heart.
3.05 - Gerry Rafferty - "Baker Street" (instrumental - sax)

Spotlighting Wisconsin or taking California off the board for the category?

I'm not sure I'm okay with having an entire horn section as a solo artist. The Stone Coyotes only have three in the band, and so does one of my picks. Does that mean I can pick an entire band as a feature instrument/solo artist?
I love the song, but with Paul Simon, it is easy to come up with actual solo instruments that aren't guitar or piano that one shouldn't have to game the system.

Big fan. We saw Gruff Rhys tour behind his American Interior album. It was part concert, part history lecture, part stand up routine and a unique personal twist on the singer/songwriter concert formula.The Dreaded Marco said:

Woefully underappreciated band. I love all their albums. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Rhys' solo tour. Sounds great.

2.21 Beautiful Day - U2 (Category - International Country - Ireland)
One of my all time favorites - uplifting and rockin. Don't get the U2 hate - love these guys. Yeah, Bono is pretentious.

I was surprised to see some songs by a band that I like a lot from the 80s on Spotify. They put some albums out in the 80s, and were popular around the college circuit in the Southeast. They weren't on Spotify the last time we had a draft. I'd love to use a song by them, but they don't fit the groove of my mix.

I don't get the hate either. I don't care if he is pretentious or not. He puts his money and help where his mouth is, and does a lot of good for people in need.
