The Dreaded Marco said:
This pick from the Illinois album reminded me of an exercise I participated in 12 years ago on another music message board. At that time it was rumored that Sufjan Stevens was going to release an album for each of the 50 states. A buddy of mine suggested we create a Sufjan album for each of our own states. Mine for Utah wasn't very good.  This was my favorite of the entrees--he even predicted it would be released this year:

2 others I had in mind when we started this draft.  Great picks!

 
@Mr. Ected

Could you possibly post a draft order list like you did before now with pick stealin' Weasel and Oz on it so I can copy and paste onto the first page?  I tried to change it before, but I am dumb and the formatting was messed up.

Should have stopped taking classics and grabbed this one earlier.

Consider us even.  ;)

May as well keep mining the classics...a little James Brown to start the day, with a nearly 15 minute blurry video but pristine sound.  Was technically released as "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, Part 1" and the flip side as "Part II", but since the Wikipedia page has it this way, let's go with this.

6.xx - James Brown - Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag

I am afraid to check the spreadsheet, because I know I will be that ####er that messes it up for you. 

The "uh... " was because you got my name wrong, yo... ;)

 
Morning...

So in between fantasy baseball research, storm prep, and taxes, I came upon a nice five word song title, let's call it "Song With Not Enough Words".  No bueno for this draft.  But the artist did release an official single (per Wikipedia) entitled "Live Song With Not Enough Words".

Now, I'm pretty sure that little addition still doesn't let it qualify, but I'll ask anyway.

 
Alright so I suck at posting hyperlinks.  I broke two cells and stopped before I broke it further.  

I blame the phone.

I have a feeling we are eyeing the same artist

Along the same lines-what about "song with not enough words (remix)"? If it's part of the official song title I would let it slide but I'm just the song stealing new guy.

I'll try and keep up but have to shovel/plow snow for work today so skip me if you have too.
