I suspect you may change your mind if you actually listen.I'd think I'd rather have Kidzbop KISS to listen to than another Dead song.

Have a ton still on a list. Won't take the time to post them, but if I was doing a different theme for a mix, these few were on the very top of the list to take:
Ben Folds Five - One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces
Interpol - stella was a diver and she was always down
Funkadelic - Standing on the Verge of Getting It On
Also - did we really just complete a draft without any Radiohead being drafted??
There was a brief moment where I thought about a hair metal mix too. Thought of Motley Crue -Too Young To Fall In Love, Cinderella, and a few others, but didn't know if I could dig deep enough to come up with 20 decent songs.

....and be high?
Mostly just being a jerk and giving you ####. Not a band I thought I would like at all for most of my life, but I have listened to them a little bit over the last few years and come around a bit. I tried more live than studio albums, and that probably helped.

I don't think Feel Good Hit of the Summer was taken either, and that was on my list as well.

Listened to sn0mm1s mix while painting this morning. I at least knew if not heard most of the artists in this mix so that was new. Never been a fan of the Smiths but these were ok.
I don't think Ive heard the studio version of Cheap Trick before so that was nice. It's one of those songs where the live version is way better imo.
Not into rap so mcbreed was the track I liked least.
The other artist I never heard of before was KT Tunstall and that turned out to be my fav track of the mix.
All in all pretty solid and made the time pass. didn't even have to use 1 of my 7 skips.
next up karma police.

Thought about that one, Where I End And You Begin, Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief, and Bullet Proof .....I Wish I Was.
Also depending on where you look, all of Hail to the Thief have ( ) titles as well, and thought somebody might draft a song because of that.

My "disc 2". Basically all the crap I had on the list over the course of the draft, cleaned up and sorted
I have to give credit to the big full jukebox draft playlist from last year, for the initial assist with ideas.. I didn't take a ton right from it but it definitely got the wheels turning
Will add these to my main mix after people have a chance to check it out as drafted

26 Clutch - I Have The Body Of John Wilkes Booth (Live)
Almost took this a few times. probably can't tell from my mix but Clutch is one of my favs.
if I do another draft with you guys I think my theme will be "songs I never heard until I drafted them"-lol

When I threw together my first draft list I considered a theme of having every song contain the word Want, Wants, or Wanna in the title with the last two songs being The Smiths "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" and finale the Pet Shop Boys "What did I do to deserve this?" figuring if you sat through 19 songs of people wanting something that might be your thought at the end of the mix. However, with the 6 word limit I was looking at only a dozen songs or so that fit that theme *if* I didn't get sniped. I didn't feel like finding 10 songs that I wasn't that familiar with (or might not even like) just to fit a theme. However, I did throw together a section of my mix that had all the "wanting" capped by The Smiths and Pet Shop Boys - which you picked up on.

Just gave @rockaction mix a listen. Some of it certainly wasn't for me but generally liked it.
I loved the "oldies" and while I probably had heard those Shangra Las and Everly Bros tunes before it's been a long time since and it was cool how they fit in.
Of the songs/bands I had never really listened to the highlights were "....Falling Bomb" by Thursday, "..Breath Out..." by Modest Mouse and "...Blow Up Your School" Mogwai (very pretty).
The Who, Weezer, S&G and Rancid were all songs I know and love as well.

In a vacuum I completely agree that the live version of "I Want You To Want Me" is better (in fact, I think I linked the live YouTube vid when I drafted the song). I liked the studio version for the mix though because most people probably hadn't heard it and I thought it fit that section of my mix a little better than the live version. Glad you liked the playlist.

I wanted Juelz Santana so bad I almost took "There It Go (The Whistle Song)." One of my favorite rappers of the aughts (I'd call him rap more than hip hop).
I have doctor's appts. today but I hope to get through KP and Eephus today. Probably no corny reviews today (I had time last night for fun), but I'll give thoughts, top threes, etc.

I even liked the Busta Rhymes song. I like some hip hop (mostly older stuff like Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, Beasties, Tim Dog) but its surely not my "go to".Thanks for listening to it, Doc Oc. Glad you liked at least some of it.

Never be surprised what someone might do to save their job, I guess. Hackenberg was an awful, awful pick.

Yeah, I was just talking about weird intersections, not really judging your choice. I did indeed enjoy the mix. I never throw on the Smiths or Morrissey and was pleasantly surprised by the memories of all three tracks.
eta* Also, I don't have the Premium Spotify edition, but trying to listen in order on Napster/Rhapsody. Sometimes I succeed in that, sometimes I fail, so the flow of my listener's ear can get thrown off. That's why I'm not really talking about it. Trying to piece it together best I can.

I did enjoy. I realized what a good draft you had when I sat and looked at the list on the page. I don't know: your list was pretty rangy, it's just your strength was classic rock. I was sort of thinking that we can get kind of lockstep in here and you got all these great songs. Anyway, it was cool.

I've only made it through the first three mixes in the original post but I have a hard time believing there is going to be a mix more eclectic than Jzilla's. Judas Priest, Beastie Boys, Willie Nelson, Hawkwind, and Gordon Lightfoot comprise the first 5 songs. I didn't think anyone had The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on their radar. That said, I enjoyed the mix. I ended up adding a few songs from it to my library:
Judas Priest - The Green Manalishi
Kenny Rogers - Just Dropped In (this is one of those songs I have heard numerous times, like, but never would've guess Kenny Rogers sang it)
same with Right Back Where We Started From.

Wow. Thanks for the formal review. I agree re the BTS song. When I was sequencing the mix I realized it was too long and didn't fit great anywhere but I love that song so decided to leave it in. Glad you found something new you liked with the ASDIG tune.
Again, thanks for the review. I should be able to get through a lot of the mixes starting this weekend. Looking forward to it

Gordon Lightfoot is legendary in my neck of the woods. He came to my city a few years ago for a free concert series and it was the biggest turn out they've ever had (they still reference that 2001 concert every time a big crowd comes out).

@Bonzai was up next:
I'll start off saying 80% of his mix could have been drafted by me - and I was a big fan of the songs/bands I was not familiar with. The mix flowed real well also.
Of the bands I had not hear before my favorites were Chocolate Watchband, The Third Bardo and Guided By Voices (not sure why I never listened to them before because I've heard so much about them.

Kiss is on Spotify. We made a late night stop for fast food over the weekend after visiting the in-laws and Kiss seemed like a suitable soundtrack for noshing on Jack in the Box tacos.
Eephus

I'm about 3/4 of the way through yours but I thought the transition between Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" to the "You're the One That I Want" off the Grease soundtrack really worked well. Besides the "want" connection, the tempo and vibe of the two songs were remarkably similar. I never would have listened to those songs back to back in a million years.

karma police- your mix was a little jarring on shuffle play(only option on free mobile version) ..dug the bluesy/classic rock parts of your mix and even enjoyed the thing that only eats hippies. Never really got into punk-guess i'm not angry or drunk enough.
best track I never heard before was the arctic monkeys-may explore these guys some more.

Overcompensating
Considering the theme here is known (6+, under 3 minutes) I can't really say anything you don't already know. People have said much better things about short, quick songs than I ever could, so it would seem hubristic to even try. So I'll simply say that I love the conciseness, sequencing, pacing, and pretty much everything about this mix. It screams Friday night more than Wednesday morning to me. I can picture myself sitting around with friends with this on in the background, drinking and playing quarters or something when Sleater-Kinney's "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone" comes on with the "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" chorus coming in while my friends and I sit at attention for a second or two. I knew a lot of these so I'm able to actually think about order on this one, and it's pretty darn good also. It's a singles mix, it would seem, and most of them work really well.
I love the Buzzcocks, Black Flag, Talking Heads, Circle Jerks, The Kinks (All Day and All Of The Night has seen many a mixtape I've personally made) and stuff like that already so the personal finds here are:
5 - Neil Young - What Did You Do To My Life?
I generally don't like Neil Young, so this was cool, for lack of a better word
4 - CCR - It Came Out Of The Sky
Kind of a rollicking good tune, eh? I like CCR, had never heard this one.
3) Muddy Waters - You Can't Lose What You Never Had
Dig it. I don't really like trad. blues, but this was cool
2) Sonic Youth - In The Mind Of The Bourgeois Reader
I like Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star but I hadn't really listened to this one because by the time I get there, I'm stuck on Bull in The Heather repeatedly. This was cool to hear in a sort of isolated setting
1) Sleater - Kinney - I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone
This is a band I never gave a chance. I don't know; you'd think a band that cribbed the cover of the Kink Kontroversy would appeal to me, but somehow they never did. This song simply rocks. Ramones-y with screaming vocals in the chorus? It doesn't get much better.
Cool job, KP. Loved it. Right up my alley.

KPs mix was short enough that I got to listen to Ilov80s mix also. looking over the list before hitting play I didn't expect to like it much but surprisingly I did. Really liked the older "piano bar" stuff and most was new to me. wasn't great working music but would be great with a glass of whiskey and some smoke.
only track I didn't like was I want you back lady lady.

No sweat. Not sure I know what I'm talking about, but that's how it seems to me. I've thought a lot about what appeals to me more about punk than college or indie rock, and I think it's the amount of misses that are the answer. Yours didn't. I love that aspect of college and indie rock -- when it gets subtle yet noticeable. I love that. The Eels sounded spacey and cool, BTW.
It's why I love Modest Mouse out of that genre. They seem to, on their longer songs, have several elements to them -- either a time signature change, some sort of loud/soft dynamic, a plaintive Brock wail, or using wildly differing instruments during the song.
Some bands go long and miss because it gets redundant, some get really subtle and it just works, like The Feelies did. MM tends to rarely miss because they do so much.
Anyway, that was a digression. Just a thought.

3/4 of the way through @Raging weasel 's mix and so far I am enjoying the solid collection of rock songs. Some of these are new to me but those that are familiar were great selections. Will give more details later tonight.

Eeph mix was real good.. steady eddie.. I liked the Ballboy song about ****, it reminds of the time I went to ****'s and got some balls
For real though out of the handful of acts I wasn't too familiar with I'm most interested in checking out more of their stuff.
I need to listen to more Thin Lizzy now that I'm older and wiser. That MSP song is nice too
I still don't need to listen to anymore Bangles

I'm working from home today so trying to get through a bunch playing on my phone as I "work" on my laptop.
@KarmaPolice was next.
A good mix of punk(ish) and classic rock - I was familiar with about 80-85% of the music. Good to hear some Hank, even though I'm actually more of a Rollins Band fan than Black Flag.
Bands that I never made an effort to listen to that I now think I really should: Buzzcocks, Sleater-Kinney, The Hold Steady and Artic Monkeys (especially the last two). Great stuff on this mix by those bands,

Juelz Santana. I used to play the #### out of From Me to U in high school.We had a really progressive hippie PhD "definitely did a few too many drugs in college" teacher my senior year, and as part of the class we had to do a little public speaking. We had to put on a presentation to the class on something we were personally interested in that would surprise people. I gave a presentation on rap music and played some unedited songs off of Diplomatic Immunity. One of the first songs that came to mind when I was first thinking about this draft was "Bout It, Bout It, Part 3" feat Master P, but that doesn't have enough words with "Part 3" only counting as 1 word.

Heh... I figured Grease songs weren't high on anyone's draft list. This would've been my mix if I could guarantee no snipes and the "Want" theme. I *think* only 3-4 were sniped... but that would've been enough to force me to start taking multiple Ramones songs or some random kid/Xmas songs.
