[BobbyLayne]

I don't even know what queer folk is.

See tiny url below.

 

[zamboni]

Was thinking of making my category post-1990 instrumental tracks. Hopefully the classic rockers don't find that too restricting.

No more than a few other categories, but will make do.

 

[JZilla]

If Pet Shop Boys aren't queer folk then I have no idea

 

[Eephus]

Any recommended Gay Folk artists I can study up on?

ETA: ...so I can mulligan Rush

wait... I thought this was a joke.

pardner?

If you want to change gay/queer folk to the broader bluegrass/country/folk I'm cool with that.

Nordic folk is out, though. And I don't mean that kind of out (NTTAWWT).

I'm fine with Bluish Grass.

I had thought about Long Songs as a category... 10 mins plus. not necessarily gay enough for my partner, but probably plenty of room for mandolins. But again, I'm fine with bluegrass/country/folk

 

[Chaos Commish]

If no one has taken Uruk's spot, I'll come back in. Confirm and I'll pick a category.

 

[Eephus]

go for it

 

[Chaos Commish]

Songs titled only with a person's name. It can be first name only or first and last. It can even be a nickname, but it cannot have any other words in the title but the name.

 

[Eephus]

These categories are more Caucasian than the Winter Olympics. Things that white people like: bluegrass, small towns, Rush, Scandinavians, mandolins, The Beatles, multi-movement rock epics, etc.

That's fine for you but I'm hearby changing my category from Songs under 100 sec. to the Best Bassline Ever. Deal with it.

You sound surprised..

I'd rather people not have to google search for songs for this one, so if that's the case I'd have no issue making it just instrumental songs.

 

[Fennis]

That's fine for you but I'm hearby changing my category from Songs under 100 sec. to the Best Bassline Ever. Deal with it.

My first pick for your old category is very mad at you.

So are the non urban, non R&B, non rap, non hip hop, non gospel, non blues black women musicians of the world.

Don't be sad. You can change it back. I was criticizing the gay folk category with my scavenger hunt comment.

 

[Steve Tasker]

This is actually shaping up to be a difficult mix.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Every team in this draft could probably satisfy my category with something from Busta Rhyme's catalog.

 

[hagmania]

I'll sub/co-captain if needed! Will be following along.

 

[Eephus]

Official category:

Rock songs with at least three movements (clear changes in any or all of instrumentation, tempo, meter)

Three movements means two changes within the song, e.g. Movement A / Movement B / Movement C

It's OK for a movement to be reprised, e.g. Movement A / Movement B / Movement A (reprise) is fine.

Movement changes can be gradual -- no need for hard breaks or momentary silence between movements.

Just to be clear, it has to be identified as a single track on the original album, e.g. you can't draft side two of Abbey Road.

 

[JZilla]

Yeah I might change mine again it's pretty lame. How about songs about animals?

[Gr00vus]

I've changed my category mind again. Here's what I'm mulling over now:

1) Songs from acts in the Prince/Minneapolis lineage without Prince being the featured vocalist.

2) James Brown song

3) Dance song

Anyone like one of those better than the others?

 

[Doug B]

Anyone like one of those better than the others?

I vote for: 1) Songs from acts in the Prince/Minneapolis lineage without Prince being the featured vocalist.

Thanks ... that was my intention for sure.

 

[Gr00vus]

Anyone like one of those better than the others?

I vote for: 1) Songs from acts in the Prince/Minneapolis lineage, or produced by Prince, without Prince being the featured vocalist.

Sold.

That'll be my category with the "produced by" expansion.

 

[Bonzai]

Was thinking power pop song. Too boring?

 

[Bonzai]

What the hell is chill bumps?

 

[Doug B]

That'll be my category with the "produced by" expansion.

Songs written by Prince (or any of his noms de plume) OK?

 

[Bonzai]

What the hell is chill bumps?

Google tells me that they're goose bumps. Never heard that before.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

What the hell is chill bumps?

Google tells me that they're goose bumps. Never heard that before.

So does this mean music that gives us chills, or is chill bumps/goosebumps a genre?

 

[Eephus]

What the hell is chill bumps?

So does this mean music that gives us chills, or is chill bumps/goosebumps a genre?

chillwave, chillout, chillbumps

This is actually what went through my head when I first read it.

goosebumps, goosewave, goosestep

 

[Gr00vus]

That'll be my category with the "produced by" expansion.

Songs written by Prince (or any of his noms de plume) OK?

Sure, but it's more of the sound I was going for. The highly Prince flavored song without the full frontal Prince - you know what I mean? His tentacles have gone places some people might not realize. Musically speaking of course.

ETA:

 

[Fennis]

good edit

ETA:

Good category. Plenty of options. Lots of women wearing lingerie, Some opportunities for "Con-tro-versy" with some of his pseudonyms.

 

[Eephus]

Still waiting on category choices from Bonzai and Usual21. Fennis also didn't seemed convinced about sad songs when he last visited the thread. Please lock in your category choices as soon as you're able.

I'm going to randomize the draft order. I've alphabetized participants by screen names

[KarmaPolice]

This is actually shaping up to be a difficult mix.

... and based on categories, it is shaping up to be a mix not many will want to listen to.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I currently have absolutely no idea re: mandolins and solo a capella.

 

[Eephus]

That'll be my category with the "produced by" expansion.

Songs written by Prince (or any of his noms de plume) OK?

Sure, but it's more of the sound I was going for. The highly Prince flavored song without the full frontal Prince - you know what I mean? His tentacles have gone places some people might not realize. Musically speaking of course.

ETA:

Good category. Plenty of options. Lots of women wearing lingerie, Some opportunities for "Con-tro-versy" with some of his pseudonyms.

Upon further review, a lot of the Prince collaborations from the 80s and early 90s are out of print and/or not on Spotify. I still like the category but it's going to make the final playlists more difficult if people draft something other than the usual hits.

 

[timschochet]

So I pick first? Should I go ahead?

 

[JZilla]

I currently have absolutely no idea re: mandolins and solo a capella.

I changed it to something easier and more flexible/fun

 

[timschochet]

Does everyone think mandolins is hard and/or lame? If so I will change it.

 

[timschochet]

Ok I will change my category.

When Zamboni was doing those "year in music" threads, I discovered that one year stood out for me as having more great albums than any other year. I couldn't believe how many of my favorite albums of all time originated from this year. Therefore my category: please choose a song from 1971.

 

[Eephus]

Does everyone think mandolins is hard and/or lame? If so I will change it.

No need to change if you like mandolins.

 

[Eephus]

So I pick first? Should I go ahead?

Please hold off drafting until the categories are less fluid.

zilla = animals

Tim = 1971

Fennis = sad (still time to change)

Usual21 = ???

 

[timschochet]

Does everyone think mandolins is hard and/or lame? If so I will change it.

No need to change if you like mandolins.

Yeah but people are complaining and anyhow I like this new category better. I'll change. Should I go ahead and make the first pick, or wait?
