[Pip's Invitation]

I have a friend that knows your best friend
He goes some places where she goes
He said he saw y'all at a party
Sniffing white powder up your nose
&

 

[Pitchfork]

Don't go there 'cause you'll never return
I know you think of me when you think of her
But then it don't make sense when you're tryin' hard
To do the right thing but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don't know how you could ever complain
Because you're all confused 'cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same as you

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

If you're not sure who is and isn't in the HOF (because it makes no effing sense), here's an alphabetical list of who is, including this year's inductees: https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/a-z

It really doesn't make any sense.  Where the heck is Three Dog Night?  I guess they've never heard of them.

Pisses me off.

 

[Ilov80s]

Ok, let's get into a little Christmas spirit....even if it is early November and 70 degrees outside. 

Holly

Rd 20 The Christmas Song by The Raveonettes

Rd 21 Christmas Everyday by The Frights

 

[Pip's Invitation]

It really doesn't make any sense.  Where the heck is Three Dog Night?  I guess they've never heard of them.

Pisses me off.

It's more or less the whims of Jann Wenner. It took Genesis, Yes and Rush forever to get in because Wenner hates prog. King Crimson still isn't in.

Round 22:

R&R Hall of Fame channel

Achilles Last Stand -- Led Zeppelin

Another one which shows why the artist is where they are.

Hmm, is that a riff or song they stole from somebody else?  

I kid, I kid...

Round 22

Hot Stuff - Donna Summer  (SoulCycle - exercise jams)

 

[Eephus]

22.8 or 12 - Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You - (Pop Rocks)

One of the challenges of doing 50+ music drafts with pretty much the same crew is to avoid repeating myself.  I'm absolutely certain I've never drafted this one in any format.

I'm amused by how the band revels in the song's swaggering stupidity.  I like everything about it from Julia Sweeney's spoken intro in some versions to the slowed down bridge and dumb little rap culminating in the "shave and a haircut two bits" finale.  It's a crime that Ugly Kid Joe isn't in the RRHOF yet.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Round 22

Hot Stuff - Donna Summer  (SoulCycle - exercise jams)

yes ...yes, she is.

Round 21.xx

Category: Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame

Simply some of the nicest harmonies and a rocking song. RR HoF indeed. Good show. Graham Nash's voice is heavenly.

Round 14

Comes Alive

LCD Soundsystem - Yeah (LiVe)

Round 15

XMU

Built to Spill - Carry the Zero

Round 16

will try to get caught up when I figure out what the new stations are...

[mphtrilogy]

Rd 22 - David Bowie - Queen B.... R n Roll Hall of Fame

Round 21.xx

Category: Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame

Artist: The Hollies

Song: Bus Stop

Simply some of the nicest harmonies and a rocking song. RR HoF indeed. Good show. Graham Nash's voice is heavenly.

I like The Hollies and have remember drafting a couple of their songs before but they're bottom tier hall of famers IMO.  They owe their induction to the time and place they emerged from.  They're like the excess of Baseball Hall of Fame members from the first half of the 20th century.

The Hollies are better than Ugly Kid Joe though.

The Hollies are better than Ugly Kid Joe though.

This comparison is something I never really dreamed would happen during this draft, but here we are.

 

[Buffaloes]

Round 17

Turbo

Foo Fighters - Hey, Johnny Park!

Round 18

Turbo

nine inch nails - Into the Void

Round 19

First wave

New Order - Ceremony

First wave

Tears for Fears - Head Over Heels

 

[Eephus]

This comparison is something I never really dreamed would happen during this draft, but here we are.

I started the day listening to Ugly Kid Joe's list of hates a few times and it made me more ornery.

 

[Buffaloes]

Round 21

Pop Rocks

New Order - Crystal

I know I just took New Order in another round, but I will draft this song pretty much whenever I can. Peter Hook and Dawn Zee....this is the pinnacle of pop rock imo

Round 22

Pop Rocks

Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend

I updated the spreadsheet w my picks through 20. Spreadsheet looks kind of wonky after round 20 though so didn't add these.

 

[Eephus]

Ok time to catch up with a music drop out of Michigan (blindly hoping I am not taking something already chosen)

Symphony Hall- let's highlight 2 modern composers since this category is usually made up of old dead guys. I am not into avant-garde and people are already familiar with the John Williams and Danny Elfmans of the world so I am trying to be a bit less obvious

Rd 13 Walking in the Air by Howard Blake

Rd 14 Wild Swans Suite by Elena Kats-Chernin (arranged for piano and violin)

BPM- It has been a stressful week so let's dance the problems away and celebrate the good news!

Rd 15 Physical- Ofenbach Remix by Dua Lipa and Ofenbach

Rd 16 In for the Kill by Shamir

Turbo-  LFG

Rd 17 Passenger by Deftones

Rd 18 Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck by Prong

Sinatra Standards to calm the soul and return us to normalcy

Rd 19  It's Only a Paper Moon by Ella FItzgerald

Rd 20 On the Sunny Side of the Street by Peggy Lee

This post covers a lot of musical ground

 

[Buffaloes]

On some days my favourite song ever.

16.4 - Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance - XMU

going through getting caught up on picks and liking posts...this song is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excellent

 

[rockaction]

I started the day listening to Ugly Kid Joe's list of hates a few times and it made me more ornery.

The real question: Is Ugly Kid Joe's song schlock or not schlock?

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 22

HOF

Leonard Cohen-The Future

 

[Eephus]

The real question: Is Ugly Kid Joe's song schlock or not schlock?

The Schlock Draft was a fun format even if we never really defined what schlock was.  It provoked discussion by forcing drafters to take sides, especially on the dislike side

Maybe we could do an Overrated/Underrated draft some time to get folks riled up.

Hey - I might actually participate in this channel now!! 

 

[KarmaPolice]

It really doesn't make any sense.  Where the heck is Three Dog Night?  I guess they've never heard of them.

Pisses me off.

To be honest, I am not sure if I could name you a Three Dog Night song off the top of my head.

I'll offer the floor if you want it. Give you a chance for some crossover appeal, maybe?

Might need a ruling on deep cuts if I go that route

Either that or I pick some old country songs I'm vaguely familiar with but don't post YouTube links because I don't want to screw my algorithm up.

Silver lining I guess is that we avoided the Holly station

I really need to take heed of this. There's some awful stuff floating around in mine.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

So we doing R22 today and then starting back up with draft order tomorrow am with R23?

We've stopped strictly following draft order. On weekdays we make one pick (R23 in tomorrow's case) after 10 AM ET and another (R24 in tomorrow's case) after 5 PM ET.

I guess it's obvious when you know it, but "Mama Told Me Not To Come" is a Randy Newman song.

Perhaps something that's held against them is that they didn't write their own songs and pop/rock acts were "supposed" to do that after the advent of the Beatles. (This was never held against R&B/soul acts.) Linda Ronstadt was also in this category and didn't get in until 2014, when it should have been much earlier.

This is one of those songs that I'd heard before (though it had been a while) but had no idea what it was called. 

 

[rockaction]

krista4 will be handling Beatles selections for me tomorrow (teamwork!). It should be very cool to see her make her picks. Peace. And I'll be tuning in, so...yeah. Take it away, k4!
