LINK TO ROUNDS 2 AND 3

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

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. :oldunsure:

True story
 
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.
 
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)

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.

Might require a reword or two.
I kmow its better suited to a MAD theme draft, but will there be one?

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