LINK TO ROUNDS 2 AND 3

 

[Zegras11]

My selection...

Have about five artists on my list to choose from.... One of them was YES, but I'm glad someone else took them and more than likely will produce a better list than I could have.


The great thing about these MAD threads is all the new music we are exposed to, because most of us are musically challenged and lead shallow lives.


One of my favorite new songs from all the MAD lists has been "Sometime Around MIdnight," by THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT. Just love everything about this song from start to finish.


And I'll be seeing them live at The Knitting Factory in Boise, on October 10. So that is my selection this round. Haven't listened to a whole lot of their work, but have enjoyed what I've heard so far.

 

[Don Quixote]

As I previewed in the Round 3 thread, I’m going to go back to Brazil with Tim Maia.

 

[Zegras11]

If you listed your Round 4 artist in the Round 3 thread, please post again in this thread. Thanks!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

We’ve had Rush and April Wine, so why not some more Canadian hard rock?

Triumph

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I’m still drinking Xtabentun in Mexico and I’m still taking PFunk. I’ll write an introduction when I return

 

[Raging weasel]

I mentioned in the other thread that my artist this round has a connection with my round 2 artist and my hometown of Detroit. They were the opening act for Soundgarden's last show after which Chris Cornell killed himself.
The Pretty Reckless

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

As mentioned before, I will take

The Doobie Brothers ...is just alright with me

 

[kupcho1]

Still going with the Clash

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Going with Boise’s own Built To Spill

 

[Scoresman]

As mentioned in the other thread

[-OZ-]

Going with the only person (woman) on my List. She lost on America’s Got Talent but she won our hearts.

The one. The only. Lindsey Stirling.

Home — Lindsey Stirling

www.lindseystirling.com

There will be collaborations and covers.

A sample (did not make the top 31)

 

[kupcho1]

As mentioned in the other thread

The Walkman

[-OZ-]

my hometown of Detroit.

I knew I liked you for a reason. I grew up 4 miles north of Detroit.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

As mentioned in the other thread

The Walkman

Just the one?

He loves the drummer. As do I.

But I’m also a Hamilton Leithauser fan.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I'm guessing that everyone knows I'm taking Annie Lennox.

As soon as everyone has picked, I'll go for my next choice.

Looking forward to this one especially as I like her but really don’t know much of her stuff.

It’s good to see more females this round.

FWIW, I’m pretty sure my round 5 is a foreign female.

[Mrs. Rannous]

Round 1 is in OP. Stoooopid board

It's better than it was before the upgrade. The search function even seems to work. Amazing.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

I'm guessing that everyone knows I'm taking Annie Lennox.

As soon as everyone has picked, I'll go for my next choice.

Looks like no other artists have been added since this one. and if that's right, this will be THE sweet spot of the whole thing, if I may be so bold.

Annie Lennox followed by Whitney Houston can't miss.

Playlist order is by playlist submission order, i believe.

 

[Scoresman]

As mentioned in the other thread

The Walkman

Just the one?

Haha. Yes if I had to pick just one it’d be tough between Hamilton and Matt Barrick.

I almost chose Hamilton Leithauser as the artist but then I was able to quickly find 31 all inclusive of the Walkman, so sticking to that.

True story

 

[Mt. Man]

In if there's room.
Still picking from a "small" list (really 4, in theory closer to 10) of possibilities.
Less than 3 weeks until submission deadline, so I'll hopefully make the final call in the next day or two. I have a few lists that are mostly done, so I might go that route. As much as I'm always tempted to push myself.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

I will submit my artist for this. It is.

Batman​

Songs included in any Batman TV, Movie or Video Game.
No Justice League shiite.
The movie, tv or video game must have the word Batman in the title.
No songs inspired by Batman, referencing Batman or nudge nudge wink wink about Batman.

If we dont get to 35, my other artist will be Robyn. But will wait to see how many entries we get to confirm.
If its just the caped crusader, so be it.

I was up for a theme-based MAD (dibs on rain) in which this would fit nicely.
But artist?
Nah. Robyn, please.
(unless this is shtick, in which case, well played)

 

[Yo Mama]

I will be ranking:

If someone does a theme based MAD draft, great reserve me Batman
Zegras said he didnt want to.
If the Batman thing is too out there for this format, fine. It was clarified beforehand.

It would have to be from a TV Show, Movie or Video game with Batman in the title.
Or if this is the wrong format, a themed MAD draft.
Dont want to make things difficult

Well, it is Batman. I figure aliases are required. Although, a theme draft does sound kinda cool.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I will be ranking:

YES

I always like to read this in Marv Albert's voice.

 

[Yambag]

Jumping in for round 4 with another little know artist: Ryan Star.

 

[zamboni]

Jumping in for round 4 with another little know artist: Ryan Star.

Definitely a new one to me, but interested in hearing what he's all about.

 

[falguy]

I'm going to sit this one out but will certainly be checking out the new music. Thanks, in advance for that.

 

[zamboni]

So you’re saying no Aldo Nova in this round?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

As mentioned, going with The Bee Gees this round.

It’ll be interesting to see how you do this. Goodness knows, they have enough good songs for at least two lists. I don’t envy you whittling this one down (not a euphemism).
