Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (2 Viewers)

Round 6

3 A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke

its bolded on the song list but looks like there was something weird happening on the top of the sheet. I searched the first page and didn’t see it taken. A song that’s both beautiful but also an anthem for a movement. Songs don’t get much bigger or better than this.

you can skip me on the next pick, I have a meeting in a few

I've just put the RR playlist up on Spotify (shuffled).. I"m not a fan per se, but always liked her. this song came on and I immediately thought- yeah... keep that in mind for this block.

That entire album is fantastic (it was the 1st album I ever bought with my own money).  A lot of us grew up listening a lot more to albums end-to-end than singles (I had no singles except a couple Beatles my mom got me when I was 6 or 7).  

Give that album a couple of listens sometime when you want to just mellow out.

SOD so far.

 

[krista4]

@Northern Voiceor any other spreadsheet smarties, I can't get to Sam Cooke or the song title in the two drop-down menus.  I checked the song list, and it's listed there at #3, but the auto-whatever must not have picked this one up for some reason.  Help?

 

[Ilov80s]

SOD so far.

Yeah was quadruple checking just to make sure it hadn’t already been selected 

 

[Manster]

Given the choice, I'd rather be on a boat than under the bridge downtown.

Hemma nemma nemma

I see what you did there, and I agree......on my boat there's a strict "No Michael McDonald" policy though.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

3 A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke

If I hadn't been required to take Bohemian Rhapsody, this would have been my pick.  How it lasted so long is a mystery.

What a voice.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

STOP collaborate

Check out that hook.  Groovy.

 

[krista4]

If I hadn't been required to take Bohemian Rhapsody, this would have been my pick.  How it lasted so long is a mystery.

What a voice.

Same here.  I felt contractually obligated to take a Beatles song there (after Help! was sniped with the second pick), but otherwise would have grabbed this one.

Come to think of it, since Ilov80s ended up with both songs, apparently he foiled my plan twice.

 

[Manster]

STOP collaborate

That is horrible

Just randomly following along here. I fixed this.

Thanks, GBKT!  Can you fix the all the entries where 80s and landrys sniped my picks, too? 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Wrong kind of fix, I think.

Round 6

#180 - Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed

Round 7

#239 - September Gurls by Big Star

@Ilov80s or

@Uruk-Hai

 

[Pip's Invitation]

#239 - September Gurls by Big Star

Oh no. I think our organizer is gonna quit the draft. 

 

[krista4]

#239 - September Gurls by Big Star

No comment.  No ####### comment.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Drafters by the millions hate that Alex Chilton got sniped.  

 

[rockaction]

Yeah, landrys hat and I, while having divergent tastes, often seem to see eye-to-eye in these drafts. At least as far on my end regarding what he takes.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Pick 7.03

I have no idea why this wasn't a bigger hit, because his music was all over the charts thanks to the Brits covering every song he ever did. All of the earmarks of his best records are here, though: thrilling opening guitar salvo, chugging rhythm, and Chuck's seemingly bottomless well of awesome lyrics.

#342: "Promised Land" - Chuck Berry

 

[krista4]

Oh no. I think our organizer is gonna quit the draft. 

Someone should check to make sure I entered them correctly through my hyperventilation and sobs.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

No comment.  No ####### comment.

At least it wasn't Ballad of El Goodo? 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

@Pip's Invitation is up

 

[krista4]

At least it wasn't Ballad of El Goodo? 

I'll have the last laugh when landrys ends up with Fall Out Boy and Cher.

Great tune. The Dead do a nice cover

7.04 I Say A Little Prayer -- Aretha Franklin (#117, bloc 101-125)

I started with 19 "no hesitation" picks in this bloc, and now it's down to 10, and I expect it to keep dwindling fast. 

This is my favorite Aretha song. It just soars.

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

About to go pick up my kids and take them to the dentist.  I have one pick in mind that I'm happy to PM.  I'll try to check my phone and figure out an optional pick if I get sniped.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

He does get the Mr. (or Ms.) Irrelevant of this draft...

I'll be around for another couple of hours if you want to send it to me

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Our man in Woodstock has my pick.

Shoutout to that time DMX was making omelets at a Buffalo IHOP right after getting out of local jail.

Ive never seen that movie and after that clip not sure I want to.

 

[Eephus]

Looks like the song list sheet is screwed up

 

[krista4]

ATTENTION AGAIN SMART PEOPLE:  Now the spreadsheet is not automatically shading the song list when picks are entered into the draft sheet.  Pls to fix again since I'm on the verge of quitting anyway.

I'm doing them manually for now, but that's a PITA.

I'm going to do some yoga and put this whole dreadful draft day behind me for 30 minutes.

I'm here, actually. Can oversee and maintain if you'd like. Get some stress release. This shouldn't be stressing you out at all. Not everything need happen at once. Corrections can be made.

I can do that. Just let me know when.

 

[Eephus]

I think the spreadsheet is back in business

 

[rockaction]

Okay, I think Eephus and I updated the sheet. Try and let me enter things today and don't alter it too much, if you please. Scroll instead of looking at groupings, I'd say.

 

[rockaction]

Looks right to me. Thanks for restoring it. That was me doing data entry, too, in case you were wondering.

 

[rockaction]

Eephus is up. He knows.

@The Dreaded Marcoon deck

then

@Doug Bin the hole.

 

[Eephus]

No idea what happened but it went down between 6 and 8:30 AM this morning.

I have an alibi.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Scroll instead of looking at groupings, I'd say.

I don't even dream of doing more than that.
