@Ilov80s

 

[rockaction]

I checked in my contacts list for - 

First Name: Landy's

Last Name: Hat

But came up empty. I've gotta bail shortly.  Can someone take my next pick? 

 
Yeah, Uruk.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

 
Yeah, Uruk.

Thanks, amigo. I'll hang until 80s screws my next pick.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Round 2

#113 - Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder

Round 3

#14 - Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks

That's one hell of a turn, there.  Well done.

 

[timschochet]

#14 - Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks

First off- was this song written before or after “Good Day Sunshine”? Because one of them ripped off the other (ending of each sounds extraordinarily alike.) 

It’s a great song, one of Ray’s best. However, in no particular order, these are all better songs IMO: 

You Really Got Me 

Village Green Preservation Society 

Celluloid Heroes 

Lola

Round 2

#113 - Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder

Round 3

#14 - Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 

 

[krista4]

I might need to rethink my strategy.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 

I tried to tell y'all he's a stealth draft-ruiner-person-guy

 

[rockaction]

Thanks, amigo. I'll hang until 80s screws my next pick.

cool. I’m out anyway. Makes it easier.

 

[krista4]

I might need to rethink my strategy.

I mean, my fear of getting stuck with Britney Spears might be less than my pain at missing all my favorite songs and artists.  

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I might need to rethink my strategy.

"Almost all female vocals" would throw the rest of us for a loop. 

 

[krista4]

I tried to tell y'all he's a stealth draft-ruiner-person-guy

Oh no, I'm well aware.  Whatever posts he's made that weren't snipes of you were snipes of me.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Oh no, I'm well aware.  Whatever posts he's made that weren't snipes of you were snipes of me.

I think he should post in the PSF, don't you?

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I mean, my fear of getting stuck with Britney Spears might be less than my pain at missing all my favorite songs and artists.  

I was perfectly prepared to come away with no Neil. It just so happened that one of his best songs fell into one of my worst blocs and no one sniped it before my pick. 

Hence why I'm using "no hesitation" as the key metric. There are degrees within what I've marked as "no hesitation," but I'm choosing to ignore them for the purpose of making this less stressful. I've drafted my very favorites in plenty of other threads in the past year, I'll live if I don't get them this time. I'm more concerned about ending up with stuff that I hate. I would like to minimize that as much as possible.  

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Another benefit to drafting Powderfinger was that I don't have to worry about ending up with ####### Fall Out Boy.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

The Powderfinger pick also means I'm ineligible for the Rush song, so the rest of you are going to have to rely on Raging Weasel and Yo Mama to bail you out. 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

cool. I’m out anyway. Makes it easier.

I may have to take you up on this. PM incoming.

 

[rockaction]

I may have to take you up on this. PM incoming.

 
okay. I’m good to go. 

 

[krista4]

I'm around now too in case anyone wants to send me their picks.

Song 352 It Was a Good Day by Ice Cube

Drunk as hell, but no thowwin' up
Halfway home, and my pager's still blowwin' up
Today, I diddn't even havvta use my AK
I gotta say it was a good day

 

[Ilov80s]

@Uruk-Hai

 

[krista4]

This is brilliant!  Might go over and start tagging him in posts.

Well, that's been my strategy, but missing out on some prime stuff has made me rethink it.  I'm going to try to stick with it for now, knowing that the rewards for this strategy come later.

 

[krista4]

@Uruk-Hai

@rockactionmight have the pick.

Nice, was going to be my next pick. 

 

[rockaction]

With his third-round pick, Uruk-Hai selects:

3.03 (?)

West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys (433)

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Yep. Though you've been fretting about this draft more than PIK95 at a Disco Biscuits meet 'n greet.

Oh, you're right there, Pip. Sorry.

You Really Got Me 

Village Green Preservation Society 

Celluloid Heroes 

Lola 

Waterloo Sunset and Days are my 1 and 1A for Kinks.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Eephus would disagree.

He was closer to the East Coast when he became a fan though.

 

[krista4]

With his third-round pick, Uruk-Hai selects:

3.03 (?)

West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys (433)

Hmmmmmm.

80s messed around and got a triple-double.

Yep. Though you've been fretting about this draft more than PIK95 at a Disco Biscuits meet 'n greet. 

 

With great power comes great responsibility.

3.04 Oye Como Va -- Santana (#479, bloc 476-500)

This was the other bloc tied for my second-weakest, with 12 "no hesitation" picks, which fell to 9 before this pick. And this was one of the few "no hesitation" picks there that I felt strongly about. RS definitely saved the worst for last.

As I said in the pick-a-pair draft, Abraxas is one of my favorite albums, and the first three Santana albums were truly revolutionary. They took a cha-cha-cha from Tito Puente and lit it on fire.

@Eephusup.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

:wood block:

 

[krista4]

@Eephussaid to skip him, but that was a while ago and he could be back.  Let's give him at least 10 minutes before moving on to @The Dreaded Marco.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

With his third-round pick, Uruk-Hai selects:

3.03 (?)

West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys (433)

reaction.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

With my pick, we have sunk a battleship. Bottom row of columns 2-5 (80s-Uruk-Pip-Eephus) on sheet 3 all filled in. 

 

[Doug B]

First off- was this song written before or after “Good Day Sunshine”? Because one of them ripped off the other (ending of each sounds extraordinarily alike.) 

"Good Day Sunshine" came out in August 1966. "Waterloo Sunset" was released as a single in May 1967.

To me, they're well different.

@Eephusup.

ooohhh, i feel like one of the gang finally. I've been sniped! didn't see that coming. but it wasn't a snipe of my next two picks, so not a hard snipe. a block scarcity creating snipe that may change strategery. not sure. 

you know what would be nice, @the ex mrs humvee? if column e on the song list had our names with our picks.

Feel free to get right on that!

 

[simey]

I'm going to be gone until about 11 pm est.  I sent rock some picks incase it lands on me. 

 

[Chaos Commish]

also no need to skip me today. i'm in a "hotel" celebrating a court victory before a late afternoon of fly fishing in god's country. after winning i was tempted to write up the story here because road tripping alone left me with no one to celebrate with.

want the story? it's just a speeding ticket, but i took down john wayne the highway patrol man... sort of.

I want the story!

 

[Raging weasel]

@Raging weaselRemember in GP4 when you said you'd never heard Joy Division? This was the song I asked you about (and you still said no.)

I remember and was wondering if this was the song I listened to when I saw it on the list.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I mean, my fear of getting stuck with Britney Spears might be less than my pain at missing all my favorite songs and artists.  

Oh yes, terrible, Britney.  Definitely wouldn't want to get stuck with any of her songs, you guys better draft every other song in those categories before I get a chance to, because I definitely don't want any Britney on my roster.  Really would be a shame

 

[rockaction]

I'm sort of bored while sitting here, and every time I get a red notification I get all excited to see who is commenting on my stuff on these fine boards, and it's all you guys reacting to Uruk's pick.

@Eephusup.

Uggh, was my next pick. Almost took it last pick but that block had even worse songs to get stuck with.

I wonder if RS picked this as the only Santana song because it's in Spanish and makes them seem more diverse?

I dunno about that but in my effort to pick songs i like singing along with the spanish makes this one a tough snipe.
