Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (1 Viewer)

Me in 2003 — Stop the Patriot Act. Nobody should have such broad authority to wiretap!

Me in 2021– Hey wiretap, what’s a good recipe for enchiladas?
My in laws give us #### for having Alexa listening in on our convos.......thing is, we are pretty boring.  She hears us talking about french press coffee, and sore knees.

I'm amused by the random items that Alexa picks up in conversation and decides to add to a shopping list.  Mine includes "black dickies", "a piece of that chair" and something called a "bobby light".

This made me laugh. I'm a google hub/nest whatever smart home guy. I've now set a new nickname for each device. Yup, they're all WireTap now. It's too good. 

I quit Prime sometime early in this pandemic. A few reasons. Didn't feel the need for immediate gratification shipping. My orders are always big enough to ship free, just slower. Wore out the entertainment freebies. And I am on the phone with a sibling named Alexa more than anyone else. It's provided comedic call interruptions but enough was enough. Disabled. 

No playlist for me. Still protesting Spotty. Still snobby about and happy in my GoogleVerse.

 
At the airport early today so will try to get through the playlists I need to make.  First up:  Cos and the Stoner Poodles Present...

@cosjobsasked me to put his in chronological order, which I think makes for a cool progression.  Fun fact:  other than the Fiona Apple song he selected on purpose (1999), and the Clipse song he was assigned in the last round (2002), his most recent song is from 1974.

Also fun fact:  I think I like his picks more than mine, and he chose after I did.  :cry:

I'm working on Uruk's playlist now and then will do yours.  How would you like your songs ordered?

@Uruk-Hai, I think you asked me to put these in order of RS ranking, but maybe it was reverse order of RS ranking?  Or something else?  I seem to have accidentally deleted the message.  Let me know if I need to switch anything around.

I went ahead and did this (I'm on a roll) and for now just put them in the order you drafted them.

Manster's Colossal Classic Rock Party Mix...and a few randos

 
I put mine in order that I chose them, because it was easiest, but it also makes for a jarring mix in some spots (like Dolly Parton into Velvet Underground).  Maybe I'll fix it later.  Likely I'll lazily leave it the way it is.

My Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/49lrcHgAm2bAhFvUPMZzqN?si=0896f138c93b4ca6

 
In college, their most popular song was called Soul Fish.  Which went from being like a five minute, silly funk thing to a 13 minute extended jam over the course of my college career.  The length of Soul Fish is a far more accurate dating device than tree rings or carbon dating if you're looking at the years of 1991 to 1996. 
Might have just added a 1993 example to my playlist from a show my friend got us kicked out of for crowd surfing.  

 
Are people listening to the playlists?  I haven't had a chance yet due to circumstances, but I'm looking forward to doing so over the next couple of weeks.

I'll put this here, since I don't know where it goes, but I wanted to report for my vinyl aficionados (rockaction) that while in Louisville I picked up Knock Knock by Smog (Eephus, that's Bill Callahan not the supergroup), two Richie Havens live records, a Larry Williams greatest hits, and of course one Beatles-related, Flowers in the Dirt.   :)

I'll probably listen to fewer playlists this time around because most of the songs are either stone cold classics OR if I didn't know them as well, I listened to them during the course of the draft.

Hey, did you see Buena Vista Social Club re-released their self-titled record the other day for 25th anniversary?  It has bonus tracks.

If only there were somewhere to find the information.

Had not seen this.  Thank you!

That was cruel.

 
I've listened to a few.  And I've listened to my own a couple of times in the vain attempt to try to figure out an order that makes sense.  

I enjoyed a lot of fatguy's list, but I like sing-a-long songs.  His country stuff kind of ruined the vibe for me, even though I don't really object to them as songs.  I just think that the playlist had a pretty consistent feel so any departure felt noticeable.

Similarly, I can't really find a place where Redemption Song doesn't stick out in my mix.  Great song, but entirely different vibe than anything else I have.  I'm considering putting it before Freedom! '90 as kind of a joke because it talks about singing "songs of freedom."  I also probably wouldn't have picked Sex Machine in the first round were I to do it again.  I still like it a lot, but it's a bit long.  I think I'll move it to the end of the playlist so that the whole shebang ends with the band hitting it and quitting it.  

 
I'm just listening to mine for the first time (shuffled). I don't hate that Aaliyea song as much as I did when I selected it. Don't like it, but not the active hate I had originally. so far it's fun- even if I tend to avoid over-played tunes (all of these)- and even shuffled the flow has been good. that said, Coltrane hasn't appeared yet.

Thanks krista

About those seemingly random numbers on the right side of the draft list.  In each tier somewhere to the right  I would put how many songs I would be glad to take in that tier.  To keep it  camouflaged, I used code for the numbers,  e.g., a nine meant three. I can't believe no one ever deleted them
