Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (3 Viewers)

[Mrs. Rannous]

Round 2.03  -  More Than A Feeling  -  Boston  (212)

I guess I'm working on scarcity.  Many of these songs aren't anything like as good as several other Boston songs.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

@Atomic Punk  You're up!

 

[Atomic Punk]

Just got sniped with Bill Withers being taken. Pick up in 5.

 

[krista4]

Helluva turn there, Tasker.   

Stats after the first round, for dorks:

Untouched segments - get yer first choices here!  51-75, 101-125, 151-175, 201-225, 226-250, 276-300, 401-425.  

Most popular segments - get in soon or be saddled with the worst choices!  1-25, 376-400, 451-475, 476-500, with three choices each.  

Outlier - Look at 401-425 with no picks, sandwiched among three segments with three picks.

Highest pick (Binky, lowest) - Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan, #4

Lowest pick (Binky, highest) - Pancho and Lefty by Townes Van Zandt, #498

 

[Manster]

Perhaps, just don’t have all the anger and angst I did when I was a teen or in my early 20s. Way more chill.

Yea I hear ya......I guess I just like to rock

 

[krista4]

Just got sniped with Bill Withers being taken. Pick up in 5.

I continue to be shocked by the sniping, with 500 songs to choose from.  Especially Help! at second overall.   

 

[Atomic Punk]

There are two tiers left that I would classify as the weakest for me, so I’ll stick with my plan.

2.05 New York Dolls - Personality Crisis

I don’t have this song on karaoke but me and the boys did the New York Dolls in an air band competition in high school two years running. I wonder if those red crush velvet tights are still in the ol tickle trunk?

 

[Chaos Commish]

1.25 Prince Purple Rain (#16)

2.1 Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil (#106)

Spreadsheet won't let me input my 2nd pick here...

I'll update the spreadsheet - don't worry about doing it.  In fact, I knew you were taking Prince before you showed up here, because I saw it being filled in.   

 

[krista4]

Right?  I expected that to last longer, too.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

THIS IS FUKING BULL####

I texted cos.

good set up jackass ...this is gonna be #### fest ...if simey takes my next

I'm going nuclear.

 

[cosjobs]

First pick I’ve butchered at Zilla’s apartment so bad that they had to remove his gall bladder. 

He showed me his scar in the supermarket. True story

Tell me what your next is.  I won't share with her.  Go ahead, just whisper it.

 

[krista4]

Also, I feel that screaming goat memes are on their way!

 

[cosjobs]

This is the song that #####-slapped me in 5th grade and showed me what rock and roll was.

The Rolling Stones, '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'

1965

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Also, I feel that screaming goat memes are on their way!

meh. Its been done. 

DON'T THINK I WANT USE IT...

LOOKIN AT YOU SIMEY

 

[krista4]

I decided to switch it up from what was my 2B to the Townes Van Zandt 2A in this round.  I'm soooo tempted to take favorite songs but sticking to my strategy instead.  This grouping has nine red DO NOT DRAFTS and only three WANT TO HAVES, so I'm going here.  For the second time today, I'm taking an artist I've never drafted.  And I am, gasp, taking a female singer.   

2.06  Mazzy Star - Fade Into You (#468)

Think I had this one in the second genre draft. So good. Still amuses that he went on to do the Buster Poindexter shtick.

How dare you madam!  You can’t take Hope Sandoval away from us men of a certain age. 

 

[cosjobs]

@Steve Tasker, you can take two.

Take five or gtfo

 

[krista4]

How dare you madam!  You can’t take Hope Sandoval away from us men of a certain age. 

There are some other similar choices available. 

 

[rockaction]

2.07 - Maps (101) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - 2003

This riff was so monstrous and the lyrics so naked -- Karen O.'s song is so wanton and pleading that it was too much for many tut-tutting sensibilities that wanted their feminist propers -- that Kelly Clarkson's team saw its effectiveness and decided to steal, repurpose, and rebrand it. Warmed over pop sensibilities and a bit of Applebee's™ feminism made the riff a number one hit, but the people they stole it from were cretinous libertines from the swamps of New York City who really love and lose something when they write or need to get a love song out of their system. Agree with me or not, the song is a monster of epic proportions.

Book it.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Hope and Susanna Hoff still top of my age-appropriate crush list.

First post has the spreadsheet, second tab there is the song list - just use ctrl-F like I do?  There might be people who are better at this ####, though.

I'm not exactly a spreadsheet maven, either.

The advantage to using tab #2 of the beautiful spreadsheet NV put together is that it will have shaded, in ANGRY RED, the picks that have already been made.

This song is in a grouping of fantastic artists but the song choices for most of them aren't my favourite or in some cases are a bit shticky. I don't necessarily know if I'd rate this as my favourite New Order song either but it's about 200 spots lower on this list than it should be.

2.08 - Blue Monday - New Order (#235)

 

[Northern Voice]

@simey 

 

[cosjobs]

I don't know what's sidetracked me the last year or two, but I need to stop it and do more music drafts.

 

[simey]

I drafted this tune in Genrepalooza, and I'm doing it again. It comes from a grouping that doesn't have many favorites in it, so I figure I best go ahead and grab it.

2.0N - Alison - Elvis Costello  (#396)

Is this where I launch into the story of when my high-school pompon squad (of which I was a member) scandalized 80s Southern Indiana with a routine to this song?  Nah, I've probably told it before.

I don't know what's sidetracked me the last year or two, but I need to stop it and do more music drafts.

Yes, you do!

2.0N - Alison - Elvis Costello and the Attractions  (#396)

That's a tough grouping for me, too, so of course this was a top pick for me.

Stick to his first five albums, particularly the ones with the Attractions.
