[Mr. Ected]

I don't know why but round 10 seems to be off by 1 - sheet has me with traffic, while I should have the byrds, turnx3

My bad.

My bad.

Tis cool, just hadn't paid attention and didn't want to #### it up

 

[Mr. Ected]

11.xx Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - What Ever Happened To My Rock And Roll (Punk Song)

Is (Punk Song) part of the title?

 

[Yo Mama]

11.23 - Nas (feat. Lauryn Hill), If I Ruled the World (Imagine That) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW55FRXlPEs

Love this song. 

 

[Eephus]

Is (Punk Song) part of the title?

Yes, presumably to maintain some sense of post-modern hipster ironic detachment

 

[PIK95]

I was kind of figuring anybody who's going to take the Beatles has already done so, but I want this, it's so heavy

11.02 The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)

I had my eye on it.

 

[Mr. Ected]

Is (Punk Song) part of the title?

Yes, presumably to maintain some sense of post-modern hipster ironic detachment

Just checking!

 

[Eephus]

Just checking!

It should be "Whatever" rather than "What Ever".  It was misspelled in the YouTube title I copied and pasted.

11.xx Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - What Ever Happened To My Rock And Roll (Punk Song)

Damn.  I was going to take this soon.

I love this entire album.

 

[PIK95]

Bruce Springsteen - 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) 

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.  I didn't think anyone would take it so I waited.  Now seemed like the right time to grab it.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

11.xx  Built to Spill - Untrustable/Part 2 (About Someone Else)

 

[Eephus]

Bruce Springsteen - 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) 

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.  I didn't think anyone would take it so I waited.  Now seemed like the right time to grab it.

Is this the first Springsteen song taken?  I always consider picking the Boss in these drafts but I never can seem to fit him into the mix.

Let's roll with another ac/dc

You shook me all night long

 

[Steve Tasker]

11th round - Billy Ocean - "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going"

Trying to get some semblance of order here, and that lone Michael Jackson song I have is a little out of place, so let's slide in one of my other 80s favorites.  I don't think I've ever drafted this one before.  I've never really understood why he isn't more popular in the US.

lol at the music video with Michael Douglas, Danny Devito, and Kathleen Turner.

I really wanted to take 4th of July, Philadelphia (SANDY) but one word short :(

 

[El Floppo]

I went on a BDP/KRS kick a few weeks ago.  My family thought that was weird.

whenever our last 80s draft happened, I got back into him. but the family also is not having it. they're racists.

I'm watching the Ghost and the Darkness right now.  #MichaelDouglas

Great pick though.

bam... another Floppinho vocal joint with School of Rock. midseason show coming up in a couple weeks, and they'll probably play this one.

have to admit I'm concerned about how he'll sing this one. he likes pop music, and tends to add some of the pop/r&b-lite flourishes to stuff he sings... but he's never really taken a singing lesson, so the flourishes are... interesting.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

He really worked his production magic with these guys.  Everything he's done since 1974 has been the downside of his career.

Billy Ocean's "Suddenly" was my first cassette purchase at age 10      

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I agree - excellent song. So awesome that I sniped it last round.




 

Good one.  ####.  

 

[rockaction]

11.21 - That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate - Mission Of Burma

Link

I just love this particular song in a particular way. I know they've already been sniped in the draft, but I need to bring it again with the mix.

I briefly considered him for the Desert Island album draft but when the album gets tough, the tough record filler.  He was born in Trinidad and moved to England at the age of ten.

Appreciation article from the Telegraph

The Portsmouth Sinfonia’s last public performance took place at the University of Paris in 1980. The precise reasons for their disbandment are shrouded in mystery, although it’s rumoured that the players simply got too good at their instruments.

11.xx - Where They Never Say Your Name - Eilen Jewell

She and her band played the Merlefest a couple years ago, and they were fantastic.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

RD 10 REPICK:  (Roamin' Thro' the Gloamin' With) 40.000 Headman - Traffic

Pretty sad I didn't get my Stevie pick.  But we move on with this Traffic classic.

the tough get going was my first cassette steal.  Stole it from my dad.  Don't know if he didn't notice or was proud but he never asked for it back.

She sings real purdy and is playing a show in Berkeley in two weeks.

Almost took this a couple picks ago but went with Bon Scott instead. Surprised it lasted this long.

 

[El Floppo]

omg @Eephus I can't believe I've lived this long without knowing about the Pompey Sinfonia.

listening to their ktel rock classics now... bridge over troubled water... satisfaction... etc.

 

[Raging weasel]

Quick post since it looks like we blew past my spot already this AM...didn't realize we made the move to two-a-days.

10.xx - Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

One of those beachhead 1980's classics - will happily take it here in the 10th round.  Will post link later.

Nice, completely forgot about this one. I've been trying to break up my sausage fest with some female vocals.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 10

Editing because I added extra words to the song I picked:

Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again - Bob Dylan

Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet

11.xx  Built to Spill - Untrustable/Part 2 (About Someone Else)

.....And this album is what I'll disappear into for the next hour or so.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

RD 11:  Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John 

How long has it been since you've heard this one?  Sit back and let it flow over you.  

Super classic that Elton used and still uses I understand, as his opening song at many of his concerts.    Another tough pick for me as there are several EJ songs that fit this draft very nicely.

I played that track in the car for my daughter two weeks ago.  She had heard an interview w/ Ed Sheeran where he mentioned Sir Elton as an influence and the only songs of his that she knew for sure were from the Lion King.

In retrospect, this album was a poor choice.  We arrived at our destination before Love Lies Bleeding ended. 

 

[Eephus]

Ya gonna go?

Considering it.  I'll listen to more of her stuff and see if Mrs. Eephus isn't busy

I drafted them for the 70s mixtape draft way back in 2009.

It led off the Bicentennial rock opera portion of my mix.  Good times.

followed the link and, as I typically do during these music drafts, remembered that @Musesboy has been long absent.

Man, there's a group I always want to pick in these drafts but they have nothing on Spotify.

He had definite opinions about what he liked and didn't like which livened these threads up a bit.
