It was suggested to me on my timeline, but it was already drawing comments from guys who specialize in talking about college football, among other things. Though the guy that commented back is a fairly heavy Twitter user, so that shouldn't surprise me.
But it was weird how many people were commenting on it. El-P's girlfriend among them. Weird, small world when you post something online publicly.

New-to-me favorites today: "Darklands" by The Jesus and Mary Chain - oooooo, this one gets a big heart and spot on my playlist.
Ack, I guess that was the only one, though "Morning Glory" and "Borstal Boys" got added as "songs I realized I knew and wanted on there." Just not many new songs for me (or likely anyone else) today.
ETA: Also the one that killed Franz Ferdinand goes in the latter category.

What can I say? After a string where the division between known and unknown was a bit more balanced (if still very much leaning towards known), today we hit one new artist and relatively few new songs. So, especially as rankings climb and numbers shrink, I can’t be totally surprised by this ratio.
#9s
Recognized by title alone: 29
Sounded familiar: 1 (Do You Want To, which I recognized quickly, but not by title)
Knew from this countdown: 4
Didn't know: 7
Selected Favorites:
Radio, Radio (worrierking/rockaction)
Just Like Heaven (Just Win Baby)
Mr. Crowley (Hawks64)
I Can’t Explain (The Dreaded Marco)
This Is The Day (Eephus)
Some songs I didn't know that I ended up liking:
Long Snake Moan (Pip’s Invitation)
Darklands (scorchy)
Borstal Boys (OliverHumanzee)
The Ghost in You (KarmaPolice) - Yep, time to spotlight a song I liked but didn’t put down here when it showed up before

Really wish I had the energy to go back and post about all the great songs from the last 5 or 6 days, but burned most of it going through all my stacked-up work emails instead. 
Made it back to inbox zero by 8:30 pm. Yay me!
Long Snake Moan - PJ Harvey (Pip’s Invitation) - Was hoping something from PJ's commercial breakthrough would show up. Didn't expect it to be this amazing track.
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (simey/Yankee23Fan) - My other favourite Floyd song. So good.
Just Like Heaven – Cure (Just Win Baby) - To my ear, one of the greatest pop songs ever written. How another of my favorite bands (Dinosaur Jr) managed to butcher it is beyond me.
Do You Want To - Franz Ferdinand (MAC_32) - Thanks for proving FF were no one-trick pony.
This Is The Day - The The (Eephus) - Didn't think my love for this could get bigger, but then it got needle-dropped at the end of my favorite guilty pleasure, Empire Records.

I DO NOT KNOW WHY I SPENT TIME DOING THIS SO PLEASE DON'T ASK WHY.
Since we have so many duplicate songs at this point, I wanted to see how many people I could connect with the following: "Tomorrow [xxxxx] will select a song previously chosen by [xxxxx]." Should have done this for today when we had only new artist, as maybe I'd have hit fewer dead ends that way. Here's the longest one I could put together:
***Please note that when I say you chose a song previously selected by another drafter, your song might actually have been selected by multiple other drafters. I know this but selected the one that would best keep the chain going. Do not mention the other people who selected your song.***

Two other ways to start the chain above:
Mister CIA will have a song previously selected by Pip's Invitation.
MAC_32 will have a song previously selected by Pip's Invitation.
Then pick up at line #3 above.
Other very short ones to reflect all people who selected repeat songs, so no one feels left out (REMINDER THAT OTHERS COULD BE AT THE DEAD ENDS WHO ARE ALSO DEAD ENDS BUT I ONLY LIST ONE):
1. simsarge will have a song previously selected by Val Rannous.
Val Rannous will have a song previously selected by Mt. Man.

2. timschochet will have a song previously selected by Oliver Humanzee.

All this talk of super-heroes brings me back to when my gal Mal (Mallory Rubin) absolutely owned the Ringer's superhero draft:
if anyone has 90 minutes to kill,,,
Warning: nerd quotient is ridiculously high.

Previously unposted favorites:
New Binky the Doormat: Abbey Road Medley - The Beatles - The first time I was ever in a college bar, I was either a sophomore or junior in high school visiting my cousins at Ohio U, and there was band playing that covered this in its entirety. Was awesome. Up to that point was one of the greatest nights of my life.
worrierking: Radio, Radio - Elvis Costello - I'm not a big fan of his, but this is one I like.
Hawks64: Mr. Crowley – Ozzy Osbourne
Eephus: This Is The Day - The The

I have 8 artists I thought could/would finish ahead of them - Beatles, LZ, Stones, Kinks, Bowie, Radiohead, Floyd, Elton John. That leaves them 9th - I had two more that I put in about the same tier - Van Morrison and U2. My point really was I’m just surprised seeing them currently sitting in 2nd but obviously lots of points are still left out there.

I obviously expected Zombie to do well as I picked it as the most selected non-Big 3 song in the contest. So, I'm happy to be giving it a 7th vote even if it doesn't hang on. Song is just awesome and was one of the first I had down on my list. I like other Cranberries songs like Dream and Linger but this was always going to be the one for me.

Other favorites from this round. Special shout out to @landrys hat selection of Into the Mystic. Possibly my favorite whiskey drinking song of all-time.

My thoughts exactly. Was one of the first songs I wrote down. And I'm not positive, but it may be 'my' song because I had it at 29. ;-)

New-to-me favorites from #9. Not much to pick from because I knew almost everything.
This Is the Day -- The The (Eephus). I recognize the chorus but not the verses -- was the chorus used in an ad? Uplifting and melodic.
Borstal Boys -- Faces (OH). I only know their radio songs. The blooze mayhem that they were so good at creating.
Mr. Crowley -- Ozzy Osbourne (Hawks64). I knew of this song, thanks to all the PMRC outcries and such, but I'd never actually heard it. It sounds menacing and yet vulnerable.

It's not my favorite Ozzy because it just kind of lumbers along...until the EPIC guitar solo, which freaking rules.

Are you referring to their high pitched/falsetto singing? If so, they use their normal voices in most of How Deep is Your Love (maybe that is why you like it), and most all of their early work is in their normal voices. Smokey Robinson would have zero testicles, because he always sang falsetto, and Robert Plant did it a lot with Led Zeppelin, and referred to his as a "full, open throated falsetto." What's this? It's your favorite Freddie singing a whole song in falsetto.

The FM rock stations around here NEVER played the big metal acts until bands like Quiet Riot and Poison started hitting the Top 40 -- and even then, you still wouldn't hear Ozzy, Maiden, Priest, etc.
New Orleans also didn't have an equivalent of Los Angeles' KROQ (sp?) that played non-hit-single post-punk & new wave except for Tulane University's student-run station.
