Agreed. Looked a lot like Josh Allen’s injury.I hate that Purdy got hurt. I want a game with both teams firing on all cylinders.
Agreed.@Mt. Man True Faith is probably my second favourite New Order track after the one that was in my last five out. Fantastic band live as well

Have you seen any of Peter Hook’s shows in the past few years? They’re pretty great.

I was thinking this too, but how much of it was to get Ronson on people's list? I was looking at a couple of his I really liked, but they were "featuring" American artists. I thought about Valerie, but had a Winehouse song I loved more, and honestly didn't look more into Ronson's songs b/c I am not overly familiar with him besides the hits.I'm surprised so many people selected Valerie. I figured there would be quite a bit of Winehouse but I thought it would be from her album. I came to Valerie late but it quickly became a favorite. Such a groove. It was my most played song a few years ago on that end of year thing Spotify does.
KarmaPolice: Slide Away - The Verve
Early Verve, interesting pick. The early 90s were a great era for music. Sorry I had to miss it. Thanks ditkaburgers.
They are so cute, and I'm sorry about Bess. Sending positive vibes, ear scratches, and tummy rubs to Martin.As I know some pet support in this thread and the US one in the past, I could use some today. I had three pugs (Bess, Martin, and Teddy). Bess passed away earlier this month — she had a urinary blockage that needed emergency surgery, and her heart gave out during the procedure.
We had to bring Martin to the emergency vet this morning — diagnosis was gallbladder mucocele and he needed emergency surgery to remove his gall bladder. Out of surgery now, but next 24 hours are key to see how he bounces back — hoping for the best and could use some positive vibes for Martin, as could use a positive turn after losing Bess just a few weeks ago.
For any familiar with my run through Presidential bios of every President, they are all named after Presidents and First Ladies. And for those familiar with my real last name, yes, Martin’s name is a nod to Van Buren.

They played at my university in 1990 and this was in the set, albeit in the middle. They finished with You Really Got Me, I think.Strangers or Death of a Clown may be more known. I don't know. I love all of their decades of music, but I decided to take Living On A Thin Line, because I was in college when the album came out, and I loved the song and the album. As I said when someone else took it, The Kinks played at my university in support of the album, and it was so much fun. It was the last song they played during their encore, and it was awesome. It was easy for it to be my chosen one.Another song which, while I love it, I wasn't expecting to get more than one vote, given how many outstanding Kinks songs there are, and how most Kinks fanatics prefer their '60s and '70s stuff to their later stuff. This has gotta be Dave Davies' most famous composition, yes?
Chaos34: Unbelievable – EMF
Very unserious
The sitar looks incredibly difficult to play. George's playing of it seems pretty rudimentary but it adds a unique dimension to this song.
Refs are doing a great job of taking over the 4th quarter.what. a. game.
I mean, I just did at #20. But I get what you're saying.She was 18 when this song came out. I bet a lot of people have picked songs from when they were 18. I know I have.

I have 3 pugs---Roy (12), Mabel (12) and Olive (2). I've always had big dogs until these 3 and I am now a convert.
It is a lovely song and one of their best. I had a tough time narrowing it down to this one from a couple others. One other favorite has already been listed.The Dreaded Marco: Poke - Frightened Rabbit
Lovely song. I should go back and listen through Frightened Rabbit again.
Scott Hutchison was a beautiful human
This might be the only song I've ever liked from Example. Like @Eephus said, it's got a great drop but the way he raps reminded me of when dad would play The Streets as a kid (being white rappers might be their only connection haha). I can't remember how I found it, but in 2010 all I did was comb the Top UK Hits on iTunes, so that's probably how it ended up on my playlist.I mean, I just did at #20. But I get what you're saying.She was 18 when this song came out. I bet a lot of people have picked songs from when they were 18. I know I have.
The song she picked didn't give me a lot to work with and I've barely seen her this weekend.![]()
Here's what I wrote about this in my 1971 countdown (favorite songs from that year that were not on Tim and Binky's lists):
2. Yours Is No Disgrace -- Yes (from The Yes Album)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fUudna1Xuw
With Steve Howe taking over on guitar, Yes made a huge jump in quality -- and popularity -- on their third record, The Yes Album. The new lineup spent months writing and rehearsing in mid-1970, and the new material bore many fruits from those efforts. Most impressive was the nearly 10-minute opener, which not only contains some extraordinary and fluid guitar work from Howe and some of Chris Squire's most melodic bass playing, but also, in contrast to how the band is stereotyped, took on current events in the lyrics. This is an antiwar anthem, and a powerful one, telling the soldiers that they had no choice but to fight and they weren't to blame for the situation.
The structure of the song is far more complex than what the band had attempted on its first two albums, and consisted of several sections that were developed separately in rehearsals and then stitched together -- but the flow and consistency of the song doesn't make that obvious. It heralded a very high level of composition and performance that the band would achieve in the next 2 years, which remains unmatched by most artists, and which would make them one of the top acts of the decade, even when some of their post-1972 albums fell flat.
I saw Yes in 1987 and 1991 and this was performed both times. At the 1991 show, which featured an 8-piece version of the band (Squire, singer Jon Anderson, guitarists Howe and Trevor Rabin, keyboardists Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye, and drummers Bill Bruford and Alan White), they opened with a spectacular 20-minute version of this.
I didn't even realize this was Winehouse and Ronson until Krista wrote to me about it sometime after the draft began.I was thinking this too, but how much of it was to get Ronson on people's list? I was looking at a couple of his I really liked, but they were "featuring" American artists. I thought about Valerie, but had a Winehouse song I loved more, and honestly didn't look more into Ronson's songs b/c I am not overly familiar with him besides the hits.I'm surprised so many people selected Valerie. I figured there would be quite a bit of Winehouse but I thought it would be from her album. I came to Valerie late but it quickly became a favorite. Such a groove. It was my most played song a few years ago on that end of year thing Spotify does.
Happy to see they made someone's cut. I wanted to make space for it, but in the filter stage it was clearly much more guilty pleasure than favorite.Chaos34: Unbelievable – EMF

I had to put wingnut on ignore, at least temporarily. He's become unhinged.I hate that Purdy got hurt. I want a game with both teams firing on all cylinders.
My first album given to by my uncle as a Xmas present. Had only bought 45's til then. He gave my cousin Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. We listened to that 2 or 3 times in full the rest of the day. We loved all of the songs.

I can confirm via the Coyotes that Anaheim forward Trevor Zegras did not say anything about Troy Stecher’s father during their dust-up last night but, per a team source, he crossed the line with “some very inappropriate comments.” Stecher has declined comment on the topic.
Corrected. Apologies about that.NFL games have a LOT of commercials
Sullie: Flesh For Fantasy - Billy Idol
This song is ridiculous but you have to dig Billy's pronunciation of Flesh. "Face to face and back to back/You see and feel my sex attack" is my next tattoo.
Andy Dufresne: Highway Star - Deep Purple
@Hawks64 this one is missing from the playlist
This was the big album when I was in 9th grade and drinking in somebody's basement was a big Friday night. Good times. Great song.
Mister CIA: What Is And What Should Never Be - Led Zeppelin
My mind was blown at the age of 10 by the guitars bouncing from ear to ear on this song. I've never been the same.
Mrs. Rannous: Bang A Gong - T. Rex
Meanwhile I'm still thinking...
higgins: Earth And Sky - Andy Summers
Summers' Jazz Rock Fusion is better than "Mother". He's a fine player but I think he's overdoing it with the guitar synth.
The Dreaded Marco: Poke - Frightened Rabbit
Lovely song. I should go back and listen through Frightened Rabbit again.
simsarge: The Core - Eric Clapton
Haven't heard this one in a long time. Thanks for bringing it back. It has such a great groove. Like it a lot more than the Cream songs picked earlier. The woman singer Marcella Detroit went on to form Shakespeare's Sister with Siobhan from Bananarama.
Mt. Man: True Faith - New Order
Well finally some New Order. One of the greatest second acts in music history.
landrys hat: Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
Well finally some Kashmir. I'd never heard anything quite like it at the time and very few like it since.
rockaction: I Feel Free – Cream
I've already praised one Clapton tune today. I take my coffee black.
Hov34: Somebody Else – The 1975
I Like It When You Sleep... has so many great songs. The band is almost singlehandedly keeping alive the classic British artform of four lads with a cheeky frontman.
zamboni: A Letter To Elise - The Cure
Devastating breakup song. It's not about you, it's about me.
Doug B: Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money) - Pet Shop Boys
I guess greed has been big in every decade but there was a contrast between the 80s and the comparatively altruisic 60s and 70s. This satirical takedown still cuts hard.
Val Rannous: Oh Well Part 1 - Fleetwood Mac
Great song. Based in the Blues like so many songs of the era but Green takes it in new and unexpected directions.
Chaos34: Unbelievable – EMF
Surprise global hit was the commercial peak of the Baggy movement. Very unserious but a tremendous groove nonetheless.
Zegras11: Ticket To Ride - The Beatles
Every little thing fits together so effortlessly: the harmonies, the unusual syncopated beat, the sensational bridge, the weird little guitar line under the "my baby don't care".
cosjobs: Black Dog - Led Zeppelin
I'm always amazed at how the drum part in this song can be so loose yet so locked in.
krista4: Sonnet – The Verve
In the immortal words of LFO "Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets". I think I've always preferred it to Bitter Sweet Symphone but I certainly do right now. It probably would be difficult to actually write a pop song that sticks to the sonnet format.
