I knew you were going to take them as your female blues pick. Wasn't sure which song though.

This post made me think we were making 3 picks on Saturday. Now that I've had coffee I realize...yeah.
OK, so we have all day to make 3.04.

3.20 - Deerhunter - "Calvary Scars II" (rock song w/3 movements)
Despite the fact that the entire song (well, the first 3 1/2 minutes, which is the only part with words) is about being crucified, I'm going to pass on this for the religious category and take it for rock songs. I had a lot of trouble thinking of ANY songs that I love that fit this category, and while I had some hip-hop ones in mind, this is the only true rock song.
I've got about 20 minutes of music and we're only 3 songs into this thing.....sorry Eephus....

3AM Spiritual – Smith Westerns (Beatlesmania!)
Seems kind of Beatle-y right? To be honest, I probably am the guy who would normally just grab an Oasis tune. But I figure I’d try something I was less familiar with.

I saw this video from Jeff Porcaro (drummer) a few years ago where he breaks down the drum beats in this song. This might seem relatively easy for experienced drummers, but coming from a non-musician, this looks/sounds pretty difficult to pull off.
Respect. The Roseanna Half Time Shuffle.

3.11 Ritual Union - Little Dragon (Scandinavian)
I
this band. It helps to have great headphones or a subwoofer to really appreciate their stuff. Yukimi has a phenomenal voice, and I think their drummer is extremely creative.

3.10 - Rush - YYZ (Rush)
Can't say I'm much of a fan of these guys, I hate Geddy Lee's voice and the way they play is too theatrical for my liking, but it's hard to argue against their talent. YYZ's a fun 80s instrumental tune.

My first two picks were very mellow, so picking it up a notch in the "screaming" category.
3.09 Deep Purple - "Child In Time"
From songfacts.com:
Running 10 minutes and 15 seconds, this is a protest song to the United States' war in Vietnam. The lyrics were written by lead singer Ian Gillan.
This features a keyboard/guitar solo by Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore respectively.
This album was released by the Mark II version of the group which is Ian Gillan (vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Roger Glover (Bass), Jon Lord (keyboard), and Ian Paice(drums). This song was played during the Deep Purple Mark II reunion tour "Come Hell or Highwater" in 1993. Ritchie Blackmore quit the tour after the European portion - he also ended the original Mark II by quitting because of Ian Gillan's "lack of work ethic." (thanks, Neil - Corner Brook, Canada, for all above)
Ian Gillan said in an interview in 2002: "There are two sides to that song - the musical side and the lyrical side. On the musical side, there used to be this song 'Bombay Calling' by a band called It's A Beautiful Day. It was fresh and original, when Jon was one day playing it on his keyboard. It sounded good, and we thought we'd play around with it, change it a bit and do something new keeping that as a base. But then, I had never heard the original 'Bombay Calling'. So we created this song using the Cold War as the theme, and wrote the lines 'Sweet child in time, you'll see the line.' That's how the lyrical side came in. Then, Jon had the keyboard parts ready and Ritchie had the guitar parts ready. The song basically reflected the mood of the moment, and that's why it became so popular." (courtesy: Deep Purple Appreciation Society)
Lars Ulrich of Metallica cites this as one of his favorite songs of all time. He says that when he was 9 years old, his father took him to a Deep Purple show, and it changed his life. "This is their most iconic moment," he toldRolling Stone regarding the song. "I've heard it 92,000 times, and it never sounds anything less than great."

3.xx Cowboy Song - Thin Lizzy (Awful Lyrics)
Why it's awful
Thin Lizzy is an Irish band so for them the west is County Kerry but that didn't stop Phil Lynott from penning the creatively titled "Cowboy Song". The lyrics don't really evoke the American west but rather string together a bunch of western movie cliches. I think Lynott would have added in a saloon brawl and John Wayne punching doggies if he could have figured out the rhyme. As it is, he had to be satisfied with Mexico, rodeo and buffalo.
In the first verse, Lynott sings "I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail. Lord I'm just thinking about a certain female" but in the next verse he says "I was took in Texas, I did not know her name. But Lord all these southern girls, they seem the same." So, which one is it Phil?
The chorus goes off on some tangential nonsense about rolling over, turning around, spinning and running fingers up and down. At first I thought this might have some deeper cowboy significance but I googled it and all the hits referred to the song.
And that's pretty much it lyrically. There are a couple of guitar solos and variations on the chorus followed by Lynott riding off in the sunset with a hearty "the cowboy's life is the life for me". And scene.
Why I love it
A great hummable hook
Lynott sings the ridiculous lyrics with conviction and manages to pull them off
Lizzy's signature twin lead sound
The part where the beat drops after the first guitar solo. The crowd reaction to this in every live recording I've heard is enough to give chill bumps to me and my horse.

1.22 - Welcome to the Jungle, Guns N Roses - Scream
Right at the start of the song, Axl Rose just nails it...then holds it forever. Great start to a song.
2.01 - Brooklyn Zoo, ODB - Wu-Tang Solo

My theme for this draft is pretty simple: I would like all my picks to be acoustic.
This may be a difficult challenge...

This was the song I was talking about when I took my 3-movementer! It was on my short list, since basically screaming is the chorus.. good pick.

Does my modern blues chick have to sing a blues song or is it good enough that she's a blues woman?

3.18 Porcupine Tree - Trains
A vexing category in my wheelhouse if I'm going to pull off a certain ambient mood.

Hmm, love the category for the date requirement more than the gender thing, but it may end up a mulligan. Relatively current female led blues has been heavy in my rotation lately too.

I knew Glen Hansard would be part of my draft I just wasn’t sure which song for which category. I finally decided acoustic, which I guess is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel. I couldn’t decide what song, or which of the zillion youtube clips, but decided to go with the clip from the first time I heard Hansard and fell in awe with his raw emotions.
3.09 - Say it to Me Now - Glen Hansard (Accoustic)
FWIW, when I saw Swell Season in 2009 it was the big concert I saw in the last 15 years or so. Whether its solo, with the Frames, or of course optimally with Marketa Hansard can do no wrong.

I couldn't let this go any longer. It is one of my favorites of all time. Music tastes are personal but people who don't think this song is great can blow me.

It always gives me chills (not good ones) knowing that the guy who wrote and performed the incredible keyboard part at the end of this song is living today in an insane asylum in northern California after chopping off his mother's head. Rumor has it that late at night he sits down at the piano sometimes and plays this tune ever so softly...

Didn't know that. Looked him up and saw that he was denied parole last year. Guy still is off the deep end.
