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

[Yo Mama]

Probably bidding against myself here since Pip and Weasel both picked already from this group, but I could potentially see Manfred Manster or Mrs. R having this on their radar, and this is a super weak 25 for me now. 
 

#435 - Limelight - Rush

Probably 20 Rush songs I’d pick ahead of this, but definitely 20 songs in this group of 25 I’d take behind this. 

 

[Yo Mama]

@Manster

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

I've never said "that song had too much whistling" or "that song had too many hand claps."

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I've never said "that song had too much whistling" or "that song had too many hand claps."

Fatguy blasting Theme from The Bridge Over the River Kwai out of a 2011 Honda Pilot.

 

[Manster]

You mean the list of awful 80s hair band ballads? 

I wouldnt classify G n R as a "hair" band.  Therefore, a slower song by them wouldn't be known a hair band ballad.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

that reminds me ...how is "Smoke On The Water" not in the top 500 RS list??????????

Mr R says because this list is f##### up.

 

[Manster]

#400 Station to Station  David Bowie.

Taking a page out Yo Mama's and Ramsays books .....this group is weak and im not really wanting to get stuck with Cardio B. I'm not the biggest Bowie fan on earth, but he has grown on me over the years.  This isn't my fave Bowie song, but I like it quite a bit.

 

[cosjobs]

Ha!  Yea I was hoping someone else would take this.  This is prolly my least favorite Metallica song, but I get it.....it's the most recognizable Metallica song as well.......although strangely, the other most recognizable Metallica song, One didn't make the list, and its an infinitely better song

I'm stunned Metallica and Boston fans can't get into Elvis Costello

 

[cosjobs]

I hate you all.  But mostly you.

Love the story, though.

The writing was on the wall

 

[krista4]

@the moopsOTC

 

[cosjobs]

It really is the loneliest of all the numbers. 

But two can be as bad as one

 

[Manster]

I'm stunned Metallica and Boston fans can't get into Elvis Costello

Don't give up me!  I've been known to come around on different artists

 

[Steve Tasker]

Pretty sure I'm gonna end up with my last 5 picks being songs I've never heard before.

 

[cosjobs]

I'm all in on Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard as #1 but there are lots of quality options.

Andy Griffith Show theme song or gtfo

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I'm stunned Metallica and Boston fans can't get into Elvis Costello

Don't give up me!  I've been known to come around on different artists

But you can give up on me.  I like actual talent in my songs.  Elvis Costello is one of the Eeyores of the song world.

 

[cosjobs]

I'm all in on Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard as #1 but there are lots of quality options.

Andy Griffith Show theme song or gtfo

 

[cosjobs]

Am I ever going to get to pick again?

 

[El Floppo]

I'm all in on Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard as #1 but there are lots of quality options.

Andy Griffith Show theme song or gtfo

Young folks

 

[Eephus]

I just noticed there is a song on the list performed by 2 different artists. So technically this is RS's top 499 best songs list.

498 if you count samples

 

[krista4]

Am I ever going to get to pick again?

Prob not.  Hope you really liked your first two picks.

Musical whistling in the movies

 

[cosjobs]

Musical whistling in the movies

I had a demo album from the 60s made by a professional whistler. She included a head shot and a letter to the rcord label. I sold it at my estatre sale for a dollar.

 

[Manster]

I'm stunned Metallica and Boston fans can't get into Elvis Costello

fwiw, I'm not a Boston fan......I kinda lump them in with Journey/Foreigner.....all a buncha meh for me..... I do like Styx though so go figure

 

[Raging weasel]

Pretty sure I'm gonna end up with my last 5 picks being songs I've never heard before.

And me and probably 10 other drafters too. It's a fine balance between drafting good songs or avoiding bad ones.

 

[rockaction]

Funny, but we just were talking in the other draft about songs with whistling in them.

Peter and Bjorn and John, anybody?

Young Folks

Before Manster makes fun of Peter Bjorn and John, Scorpions?

Wind of Change

Name a thing, and I can produce you a hair metal ballad with it taking center stage at one point.

 

[Raging weasel]

I like all 3

Kazoo, please.

Same here.

Rank order depends on which album by which band. Oooh.

 

[rockaction]

Kazoo, please.

It's not hair metal, but it's absurd?

[rockaction]

This is what I immediately thought of when I saw kazoos.

Oh wow, that is going to give me nightmares.  So creepy I had to turn it off.

Peter, Bjorn, and John.....is that three dudes that live in their respective parents basements making emo music?

Maybe?

https://youtu.be/VgamwEi90w4

Wtf was that?  Haha

 

[Pip's Invitation]

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

I don't know, but I do think they stacked their "virtue-signaling" picks at the beginning and the end, since most people would start reading at either end. 

 

[rockaction]

Wtf was that?  Haha

Name a theme or instrument, and I'll try to produce a hair metal/costume metal (notice how this has changed)/or other metal ballad/dirge that commemorates it.

dammit man, there's less than a handful of us in here ...you had to go 3rd rd???

 

[Northern Voice]

If it gets to me and I'm not here skip me, not really feeling it tonight. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I just noticed there is a song on the list performed by 2 different artists. 

There are actually four songs with two versions -- Mr. Tambourine Man, Killing Me Softly With His Song, Gloria and Walk on By. By. Plus two different songs named Crazy. 

 

[krista4]

I have fatguy's pick, so please @krista4if @the moopsshows up.  

 

[Eephus]

I Can't Stand the Rain and The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) bear a striking resemblance

 

[Pip's Invitation]

This is my favorite Elvis song, not just on the list, but overall. 

Suspicious Minds is my favorite Elvis song by orders of magnitude. I picked it for the Elvis Channel in GP4 as soon as it was rolled. 

 

[Yo Mama]

dammit man, there's less than a handful of us in here ...you had to go 3rd rd???

I know, it’s like drafting a kicker in the 5th round. 

 

[Northern Voice]

I've never said "that song had too much whistling" or "that song had too many hand claps."

This one kind of takes a sledgehammer to the idea. 

 

[cosjobs]

fwiw, I'm not a Boston fan......I kinda lump them in with Journey/Foreigner.....all a buncha meh for me..... I do like Styx though so go figure

I'm with you on the Boston/Journey/Foreigner anti-bandwagon. Styx is the Beatles by comparison

 

[Steve Tasker]

I think I had hand clapping category in that draft.  It's a lot more difficult than it sounds on the surface.  This is the song I really remember being pleased that I pulled out of my ### for that draft.

I'm also pretty sure it's both the first and last time I've ever drafted a Bay City Rollers song.

 

[cosjobs]

If you come back, wear a mask

 

[cosjobs]

I like all 3

Nothing wrong with that, its just not the typical appetizers for the Costello course

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm also pretty sure it's both the first and last time I've ever drafted a Bay City Rollers song.

When burning CDs was new and I was one of the people who knew how to do it, my aunt insisted I download and burn her the Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits.
