Getcha passports ready - the middle-aged dummies are going to the British Isles! Top 31 song countdown. (3 Viewers)

[AAABatteries]

As first glance this is a much stronger round, for my taste, than 31.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Dr. Octopus:

5:01AM (The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking) - Roger Waters
(new artist)

Eric Clapton on guitar - will he make another appearance on my list?

 

[AAABatteries]

Totally whiffed on Sweet - made me smile seeing them selected. Ballroom Blitz is a fun song.

COULD ONE OF YOU OR ROCKACTION PLEASE CHANGE YOUR AVATAR. THANKS. MANAGEMENT.

(I'm just kidding here.)

He stole my schtick!

J/k although really, he should switch because I rotate mine all the time and nobody associates an avatar with me (I don't think) - his is a classic one.

ETA - and just to be clear, I think rock and I should stay and everybody else should switch to random British Isle avatars

 

[MAC_32]

As first glance this is a much stronger round, for my taste, than 31.

Agreed - beyond my contribution the only others already on my shuffle were Personal Jesus and God Put A Smile On Your Face. Been a fun spin this morning with a lot of new sounds and not many skips, but more familiarity this afternoon will probably be refreshing.

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

I need to listen to Mott, by Mott The Hoople. Easily my favorite new one of the ones I hadn't heard before, and I liked generally everything I've heard from their glam era, a style of music I particularly like for some reason. I've heard singles, but never the proper album.

this was my first album - and yeah, it's great. and from back in the day when you listened to the entire album ...in order - over and over.

"drivin' sister ...she's much to much on the clutch"

 

[Zegras11]

Know 12. Likely 5 more I've heard, but did not know the title

 

[krista4]

Testing.

 

[AAABatteries]

Testing.

Oh, it's there.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Dr. Octopus:

5:01AM (The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking) - Roger Waters
(new artist)

Eric Clapton on guitar - will he make another appearance on my list?

Also this will likely be Jack Palance's only appearance in the Countdown.

 

[KarmaPolice]

And we have three (3 ) artists get knocked out of the tiebreaker Ace Award guesses.

KP's never gonna see this curve ball coming

If you drop some George Michael on me tomorrow.....

Ask and ye shall receive.

Too funny.

Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter - Herman's Hermits
(new artist)

Can’t not think of this ‘90s Howard Stern bit when I see/hear this tune.

 

[Chaos34]

Chaos34:

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
(new song based on artist being chosen above)

Of all the Elton in the world, I picked this one. If you told me I would do this last summer, I'd have said no way. Then I saw the farewell tour. It's the last song. He says goodbye with it. I've seen a little emotion at shows through the years but nothing like this. 9 out of ten people near me moved to tears. I may have shed one with them. Touching. Farewell Captain Fantastic.

Back to the howlin' old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad...

 

[Don Quixote]

Testing mine. Nik Kershaw’s Don Quixote - eligible.

 

[Westerberg]

I had a Tab in the ocean in 1987. It was delightful.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

As you'll see later, I too like Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

However, I prefer the solo version to the duet. I appreciate George Michael's voice, really I do, but when Sir Elton kicks in it just shows how much more suited his voice is to that particular song than Michael's is.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

A Tab In The Ocean -- Nektar
(new artist)

Only 16:51 - this one will fly by

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I have never watched The Sopranos. Or The Wire.

No volleyballs....

Agreed. I think I mentioned it pre draft, but the 8 songs he finished his set with at this summer's show was the best stretch of music I've experienced live. This song was the peak. It's always been one of my favorite Elton tracks, but...that completely altered how I view this song. I just wonder what it'd have been like had I heard it several decades ago...

My favorite Christmas song - one of the few that contain "slut", "drunks" and "faggot" in the lyrics.

 

[timschochet]

Some great songs. At first glance I’m familiar with a lot more of these than yesterday.

Gotta go with Andy that the Elton solo version of “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” is much better than the duet.

Also, if I don't have a specific Spotify link and there are multiple versions I just pick the first one. If you want a specific one, just lmk and I'll fix it up.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

While my kicker keeps missing extra points I'll go for these 2 pointers:

Ship Of Fools
Just Like Heaven
No Matter What
Starry Eyes
Love Is A Stranger
I Feel Fine
Gold

 

[AAABatteries]

It appears that each playlist will be around 3.5 to 4 hours. Either I'll be getting a divorce or will be hippling the **** out of the thread.

Given the volume my participation will be directly correlated with work demands, which is why I was able to get through most of yesterday's list this morning. Hitting pause on #38 The Hitchers (nice one!), but am not sure if I'll be hitting play again today.

No One Is To Blame – Howard Jones
(new artist)

I dunno. It's just the best of the cheesy mid-80s to me. Somehow it sounds like the mid-80s yet also fresh to me. Bonus points for 80s hairstyles in video. 40 years later I'm not tired of this song.

Love this. Jones' work on the keys just hits the right spot of melancholy without being mopey. Also a nostalgic one for high-school me, pining over an out-of-my-league crush.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix) -- Alabama 3 (Val Rannous). Captivating blend of funk, electronica and other genres.

You never watched the Sopranos? This is the theme song.

I have not. HBO Max comes with our cell phone plan so maybe I can rectify that at some point.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Didn't know that Joe Jackson song - but really like - although I'd like it a bit better if he didn't spell out B-I-O-L-O-G-Y in the lyrics.

 

[worrierking]

Very much a pop-oriented list. Love Ship of Fools, More Than This, and A Fairy Tale of New York.

I know almost all of today's list, so maybe I can catch up on unknown tunes.

From yesterday...

my initial list is filled with a lot of stuff like this from that time - a lot of really good 1 to 3 hit wonders that filled the MTV airwaves 24/7. As much I liked them, I was only able to moosh one of them in

and that group/artist had more than the usual 1 - 3 hits from that group.

so tough to get it down to that 31 ...

That can't ruin it for me LOL. At the end of "Valley Girl, " there is a music scene where they are dancing to this song. Those dancing are SAE's and Alpha Phi's from Long Beach St. I must have had to work that night. Don't know how I missed it. Cracks me up every tine I watch that scene and two real good friends are basically starring into the camera the entire scene. Pissed that I can not find a YT clip of this.

Greedy Fly - Bush

They didn't age well with me, but I'm glad to see this made someone's cut. By far my favorite of their's. That guitar is creepy, haunting, and entrancing any time it connects on the shuffle.

I'm not a huge Bush fan. Gavin Rossdale is kind of a ****. But this one I always liked for that alternating creepy, and then heavy riff.....what I can I say, I'm sucker for a crunchy riff.
