Got it.
Oh my. That's wild.
The Simon and Garfunkel song is awesome, by the way.
Got it.
Oh he’s also not above writing 15 paragraphs of copied stats to prove something that you didn’t actually say wasn’t true and/or claiming he has “sources” when he’s just parroting beat writers.I’m not ashamed to google things for my songs.
Nothing shameful about that. On the other hand, it's tradition for certain people 'round here to do countdowns where they just copy and paste large swaths of the internet and pretend it's their own work. (No one in this thread.)
I think I've been fairly consistent in citing sources, going so far as to include the link for anyone that wants more than a brief quote.Oh man, I'll cite Wiki right in my write-ups. There's absolutely no shame in looking things up. At least, I thought there wasn't. Not everybody is a walking encyclopedia.

Simply name checking where you got something should be more than sufficient.
No, I believe she’s referring to a Pats fan that used to write here.Oh he’s also not above writing 15 paragraphs of copied stats to prove something that you didn’t actually say wasn’t true and/or claiming he has “sources” when he’s just parroting beat writers
Philadelphia Freedom?
Have you listened to Green Day?What is everyone's view on profanity? I have a pretty good idea of who I want to do for the next list, but the earlier work especially has more profanity. I will try to find the clean versions when possible, but some songs don't have a clean version. May have to change artists if it is looked down on.

Great pick up. The one YouTube commenter nailed it, too.
Simon & Garfunkel zamboni "Patterns"

Simon & Garfunkel - Patterns
"Patterns" is a song written by Paul Simon and included on his 1965 album The Paul Simon Songbook, and later recorded by Simon and Garfunkel on their third a...www.youtube.com
The first 10 seconds of this seem very familiar but can't put my finger on it.
Got it.
My random thoughts apologize and promise to do ten "Hail Ringo"s.*Oh My Sweet Carolina - Ryan Adams - Is it me, or is there an Eagles vibe to this song?
You shut your mouth!
That just means folks get a helluva one-two punchRyan Adams got the worst slot on the playlist - leading into Stevie Wonder each round.
I was sitting there listening to "Oh My Sweet Carolina". thinking "how can it get better than this?..." and then "Sir Duke" starts blasting out of my speaker.
The Sigur Ros song on list 10 rocked. I didn't think I'd ever say that about them.
Now, if you had taking Billy Joel we'd have needed Stevie as a palate-cleanser.Ryan Adams got the worst slot on the playlist - leading into Stevie Wonder each round.

Oh yeah. No doubt. I wasn't accusing anybody of anything, either, in case that seemed weird. Personally, I always say something like "Per Wiki" and then I include quotation marks. I actually wasn't even remotely trying to say anything else other than I use Wikipedia and cite it.
Personally, I loathe the Pointer Sisters solely due to I'm So Excited. I look forward to you enlightening me.I just started on The Pointer SIsters. This is going to be amazing.
That's ****ing unacceptable!Have to show a couple homes after work today, so the 9's will be a little later than usual tonight
Go all the way, Binky!Pete Townshend may have been the first one to utter the phrase "Power Pop" ...but Todd perfected it.
get ready for some definitive Power Pop people!!!!
Although I am from Long Island, and do like him, he’d be way way way down on the list of artists I’d chose for this.Now, if you had taking Billy Joel we'd have needed Stevie as a palate-cleanser.Ryan Adams got the worst slot on the playlist - leading into Stevie Wonder each round.
I was sitting there listening to "Oh My Sweet Carolina". thinking "how can it get better than this?..." and then "Sir Duke" starts blasting out of my speaker.
I know it doesn't seem as popular with the group here in general, but I did wonder if this was reason people might shy away from some rap or other groups. 0 way to avoid it if I tackle my rap group down the road.The group I’m hoping to choose for round two tends to throw in a few bad words, so I’m definitely pro-fanity.
The sound on #10 was the sound I associated with Todd knowing 0% and based on chatter in the drafts. I've been more surprised at the power pop, honestly. (and I am guessing didn't pay enought attention when we were doing Power Pop in GP drafts).Pete Townshend may have been the first one to utter the phrase "Power Pop" ...but Todd perfected it.

Unpossible. I like every song the Kinks ever made.Would be fun to have bottom five lists for our artists to call out their worst songs. Genesis has some real stinkers. Might be tough to listen through those playlists though.
So your group didn’t sing a problematic song with the lead singer using a bad Mexican accent (with problematic accompanying video)? Must have just been my group.Unpossible. I like every song the Kinks ever made.Would be fun to have bottom five lists for our artists to call out their worst songs. Genesis has some real stinkers. Might be tough to listen through those playlists though.![]()
I’ll post the YouTube link to the song once the playlist is posted.There will be 46 songs on this playlist. @Scoresman said the Sigur Ros song isn't on Spotify. What I did with @MAC_3's pick is put 2 songs back to back in the playlist like we've had with a couple Chicago tracks, since that's what the video link did. Also, I did get your PM, @simey - thanks.
Foo Fighters Just Win Baby Stacked Actors
![]()
‘Stacked Actors’ is a response to living in Hollywood for about a year and a half, and my disdain and disgust of everything plastic and phony, which is the foundation of that city. And I just hated it. I had a lot of fun, but I had a lot of fun hating it.
I wrote 'Stacked Actors' about everything that is fake and everything that is plastic and glamorous and unreal, so if that pertains to anyone that comes to mind then there you go.
It's about having nothing better to do than trying to be other people, it really grossed me out. Actors, just in general make me ****ing sick.
Living in Hollywood always seemed transitional to me. Truth be told, I ****ing hated Hollywood, hated the whole life, hated most of the people we met. That's what I'm saying in ‘Stacked Actors’.
Having relocated to Los Angeles about a year before recording on Foos’ third album started, the lead track of that release sees the frontman raging against the countless fakes and phonies of Hollywood. Possessed of a strident swagger and more scathing sense of humour than what had come before, lines like, ‘I'm impressed, what a beautiful chest / I never meant to make a big scene’ and, ‘Yeah, but what do you do when you’re just another ageing drag queen?’ (a line Courtney Love seemed convinced was about here) bristle with provocative wit. The chorus – ‘Stack dead actors / Stacked to the rafters / Line up the bastards / All I want is the truth’ – reaffirms the band’s place as unlikely everymen amongst the ultimately bourgeois American celebrity elite.
There’s a lot to hate about Los Angeles: The glossy people and the frustrating lack of suitable public transportation could drive anyone nuts. It’s a breezy place to visit, but not exactly the breeziest place to live, and knowing that makes a song like “Stacked Actors” all the better. It’s one of the angriest songs in the Foo Fighters catalog, capturing a vicious Grohl who vents his frustrations and angst as he screams, “Line up all the bastards all I want is the truth.”
There Is Nothing Left to Lose is Foo Fighters’ classic-rock album, so even the grungiest track comes with guiro-groove verses a la Steely Dan’s “Do It Again.” The only thing more fun than that fuzz bass is pretending the lyrics are about perennial Grohl adversary Courtney Love — as many fans (and Courtney herself) already do.
I’m so…scared.Personally, I loathe the Pointer Sisters solely due to I'm So Excited.
I'm developing many "31" contender playlists, but the two I like most are strong contenders to be selected by someone else in the next thread.We should do a draft, slow reveal of Part 2 artists.![]()
I'll bet I know one of them. My 1B favorite Sigur Ros song is an iconic live performance. It's very climactic.The Sigur Ros song on list 10 rocked. I didn't think I'd ever say that about them.
They have a few that rock much harder coming up, but they're the type of song with a buildup to get there. #10 is structured more like a typical rock/pop song and kind of rocks throughout, I would agree.
Slow reveal would be good, with emphasis on “slow”, in part because I’m nowhere close to thinking about who I could do justice for a part 2.We should do a draft, slow reveal of Part 2 artists.![]()
