I picked Galveston. I also considered his cover of Classical Gas.
I picked Galveston. I also considered his cover of Classical Gas.
I picked Veracruz and Keep Me in Your heart for a While. (Screw the rules! I'm only semi-following them in the next and the one after that anyway.)So how many Zevon were picked? This one, Excitable Boy, Roland..., Werewolves, and Lawyers Guns & Money. Was Poor Poor Pitiful Me in there or Mohammed's Radio?
Gladys wasGladys Knight are represented either
The best song that early Chicago never recorded. Fantastic tune.
Was going to mention this one as an omission. Probably would have been in my top 10.
This was squeezed at my bubble and I am also surprised no one else picked it.I can't believe someone didn't take this.
The Outlaws- Green Grass and High Tides
If my kids participated Amie would have made it.These aren't ranked. My remaining non-dupes. It's possible some are dupes. I've made that mistake twice, so.
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush
Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Hootie and the Blowfish - Let Her Cry
Lord Huron - Ancient Names Part 1&2
The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody
Don Henley - The End of the Innocence
Neil Diamond - Cracklin Rosie
Pure Prairie League - Amie
Harry Nilsson - Without You
Tom Petty - You Wreck Me
It was the ohh oh oh yeah ah ah part of You Wreck Me that the crowd sang so loud Petty gave us a 10 minute version and made it my pick for him. I've taken the Nilsson song before and consider it an all-time vocal. Even suggested people should stop trying to cover it, to which wikkid agreed. I fell/fall in and out of love with an Amy and that song nails us pretty good. My nod to country. Cracklin Rosie is funny. I like that. A great sing along for me. Neil was a huge part of my childhood household in the 70s. Henley. I want his voice. Unchained, yeah, another premium vocal. Lord Huron, 8 minutes Eeph, but it's like two songs, and genre bending. Hopefully a "new favorite" for some. Rucker described the last year of my marriage with Let Her Cry. A song that hurts good. I'm too chalky on the grunge, but it is what it is. It's been a very grungy six months thru my speakers lately. Almost went with Big Dumb Sex for Soundgarden. It's funny grunge.
Harry StylesI plan to hold myself to the same "rule" of a single song per artist. Or else it would be a list of Beatles, LZ, Stones and Kinks songs.
Who's the British John Mayer?
I’m watching 1899 on Neflix and took particular notice to “Don’t Fear the Reaper” closing out Episode 5./Blue Oyster Cult
Was Crackerman the lone STP pick?
Great thread.
Thanks to @krista4 for organizing and running it (and for funding the charity contests!). Also to @Hawks64 for the daily playlists.
I didn’t have the time to participate as much as I would have liked but it was still a blast. This entire group’s fount of music knowledge is quite impressive.
I wouldn't have even expected that, though Big Empty from the Crow soundtrack would have probably made my top, er, 100. Maybe not.Was Crackerman the lone STP pick?
Yes.
Thanks to the Rannouses as well!Great thread.

Just want to be clear that the Rannouses funded 1/2 ($250) of the initial charity contest!
Wild. I had Interstate, trippin on a hole, plush (acoustic version), and sex type thing (swing version) on my original list in addition to Crackerman. Don't recall if any made the bubble though. I'm sure those interested are familiar with Plush acoustic, but if anyone wants sex type thing swing (hey-yo!) and can't find it lmk and I'll dig it up. Love that rendition.Was Crackerman the lone STP pick?
Yes.
Here are the final "similarity scores" based on who picked stuff from my list and how I ranked everyone else's rankings:

Hungry Eyes -- Eric Carmen (Ditkaburgers)
All I Know -- Art Garfunkel (Eephus)
The tiebreaker was that my wife is a big fan of Dirty Dancing.Hungry Eyes -- Eric Carmen (Ditkaburgers)
All I Know -- Art Garfunkel (Eephus)
RECOUNT
Probably will try and make this happen.Definitely want to see them, with him, but most likely have missed that window.John Mayer is amazing, and top 3 for me all time, and those are by far my favorite songs of his. I'll do a write-up sometime this weekend but the way I approached this was different than most. I didn't care to have 1 song from 31 artists, I wanted my 31 favorite songs, so if that was multiple per artist I was totally fine with it.I was going to say that the most shocking part of this was 5 different John Mayer songs selected. Then I just noticed they were all from one person.
@Hawks64 what's the story here?
I love what Mayer has brought to Dead and Company. Have you ever seen them live? I've never seen you in the Grateful Dead thread.
Not a huge fan of the Dead but love pretty much all jam bands. Have a couple of buddies that are big into Umph, Phish, Dead.
They have one tour left this summer. Make it happen. Here's an example of what you're missing.
You're either retired or you don't sleep. Or both.I'm almost as OCD as he is!turnjose7 alias?
It's closer to "don't sleep." I am usually fine with about 6 hours and my wife needs much more, so there are a few hours each night for futzing around on the computer or whatever after she goes to bed.You're either retired or you don't sleep. Or both.I'm almost as OCD as he is!turnjose7 alias?
Impressive.
I believe all three artists went unselected
Yeah, I noticed yesterday that there were no Staples. I thought all three of the artists Eephus cited would show up.I believe all three artists went unselected
They did. I'm particularly sad for the Staples.
Nothing from Jerry Lee Lewis was picked. Is it because he married his 13-year-old cousin?
That's crazy!Was Crackerman the lone STP pick?
Yes.
Geez, dude, I'm both impressed and appalled. Exactly how bored were you?And here's how I ranked everyone's songs that I didn't pick. Part 1:
