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

[Pip's Invitation]

The sheets will have to be changed after these two songs are finished.

I initially read that as "spreadsheets". 

 

[Eephus]

No Diggity came out 25 years ago.  And there's no way to consider it "spoken poetry", it's got really melodic singing in it.

Maybe you're thinking of a different No Diggity. 

I'm glad to see Teddy Riley get some respect on the RS list. I prefer Guy to Blackstreet but Teddy's fusion of R&B and Hip Hop changed popular music.

 

[krista4]

I'm doing some more listening of songs I don't know.

Frank Ocean - Thinkin' About You.  Not surprising that I'd like this as it's in my wheelhouse.  Love the backing music and the falsetto.  Don't really like his voice when not in falsetto.  He's fine to look at, though.

Blackstreet - No Diggity - LOVED this.  Fun, melodic, smart, again fun.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps - Yeah yeah yeah this is excellent.  Her voice reminds me of Aimee Mann.

Joni Mitchell - A Case of You - I'm sure I should know this song but I didn't and wish I still didn't.

Luther Vandross - Never Too Much - His voice is obviously terrific, but this one is too overproduced for my taste.  

Mobb Deep - Shook Ones (I and II) - Fine.  Just fine.

[Manster]

I tried listening to a couple songs i'd never heard of, in a block with nothing left....Bad Bunny, Saefara and BTS, Dynamite......I think I made it like 20 seconds into both.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I'M JUST CATCHING UP AND SEE THAT SOMEONE TOUCHED THE SPREADSHEETS

I TOLD'EM TOLD'EM 

I'M NOT KIDDING ...GEEZUS

That was me 2-3 days ago and why I took Elvis from there.

 

[Raging weasel]

Lots of my picks got sniped since last pick but still 3 I'm trying to choose between. 

 

[Raging weasel]

@El Floppo is up right? If he picks soon I can get mine in now. Otherwise it'll be like 7am est.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Correct. But he's rarely on at night, so we don't expect him to pick before morning. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I have RW's pick in case EF shows up before the SNF game is over (after which I am going to bed). 

 

[Chaos Commish]

The sheets will have to be changed after these two songs are finished.

Glad you noticed. I was going to double down on ooh la la or politics. The debate led to a face palm... duh me.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Also, I stopped whining but @Yo Mamahas picked off the top of my list after I pick, over and over again. Not a big 2Pac fan, but California Love is my jam. I've drafted it before and explained the Clippers DJ in Staples Center plays it about 30 minutes before tip off when there's less that 7k people in the arena. Through that sound system, several NBA players warming up on their own (some to the music), about a third of the crowd singing and dancing... it's my bball song. Hurt me when I saw it go.

The second half of Saefara is better than the first IMO

The thought of Steve Ballmer dancing to California Love has ruined the song for me

 

[Chaos Commish]

In a tight FF battle with @rockaction atm. Made the night game too much fun. I quit ff in 2016 until this year. Forgot how it could improve a rain soaked mess of a game.

 

[Chaos Commish]

He rolls in closer to tip off, but the seats I usually get are 15 rows above him behind the basket. He's a goofy dude, and he do dance if that's what you wanna call it.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I drafted Bad Bunny Con Calma after seeing him/them at Coachella. Way better song than Saefara. And don't translate the Spanish. Horrible....

Skip me

 

[Pip's Invitation]

With @El Flopposkipped, @Raging weaselselects:

#358 Because the Night -- Patti Smith

@Binky The Doormatup

@El Flopposkipped and can pick whenever

Awesome!  It’s also Kenley Jansen’s walk up song at dodger stadium. The stadium goes nuts when it starts playing (and then everyone starts stressing out).

Huh. I hadn't checked in since the morning games. You won, 97-87. Nice work, Chaos.

#62 ...One - U2

 

[Binky The Doormat]

out ...tonight

 

[Pip's Invitation]

@Ramsay Hunt Experienceup.

 

[Yo Mama]

#62 ...One - U2

Bono takes a much darker turn in this song:

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

 

[rockaction]

#448.  Tyrone.   Erykah Badu.

Not my favorite of hers, but I really like her a lot. Mama's Gun is the first album of hers I heard and it's great album.  If I had to pick one somg of hers itd prolly Breath on My Neck

I was almost sure this would be the one left from this group. I would have gladly taken it as a last pick. That's what little I have of strategy for this, now foiled by Manster. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

OHHHHHHHHHHHH!

My mom's surprise was that they bought a Subaru.  Not kidding.  That was it.  I have had a dozen or more Subarus going back to 2006(?).  I get a new car every year or so, usually, though three years now, and it's always a Subaru.  So I guess the excitement was that they finally traded in their 2015 Toyota Venza(?) for a Subaru?

Woot, thanks for the "surprise," mom!  A kitten couldn't have been as good as that!

Really?  I likely would have asked when I was gonna see the surprise.  Oof.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Once Mrs. R took my unshaded okey-dokey

You are gay!

(This is code, right?)

Maybe I'm not just a crusty rocker after all....lol.

Based on the taste of this group I was surprised this one lasted as long as it did.....maybe it's cuz it's not her best 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Round 11

133 Don’t Stop  Believin’ by Journey 

kind of stuck on where to go so I’ll tackle a group I don’t love with a song that’s cheesy but is too much fun. It’s partly a Michigan thing. We just like this song more than most. We have a penchant for this kind of 70s-80s classic rock and it of course had the odd South Detroit reference. You play this at a big Detroit sporting event or at a bar on a Saturday night and the whole place will sing along. Every time. 

I went to the Washington @ Michigan game a couple weeks ago.

You're not kidding about this song.  All 109,000 people were up and singing this in a 3rd quarter time out. I couldn't believe it.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

[Chaos Commish]

I bet I can tell how the world is gonna end
I'll probably go to Hell, at least I'll be with all my friends
When the city of angels is gravestones
And there's no one around left to say no
Break into a hotel and throw a party for the end
In 3005 we'll play Gambino
Drop and that's it like no amino
Swim in alcohol like a maraschino
Dodging over doors like a Tarantino

Yeah it’s just a thing here. It’s played at most weddings as well- to the same result. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I just realised that Solisbury Hill is the Peter gabriel song here.  I love the song, but in what universe is it better than In Your Eyes?

In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)

I like it more. I think it's his best song. Talking about going to Clipper games. It's a 2hr drive for us, but I've taken my daughter dozens of times. West coast games start at 7pm. End around 10. Post game traffic. A stop at InNOut. We get home around 1am. The highway is high above our desert city in a valley. It is a beautiful sight at night. All the lights below mean we're almost home. Solisbury Hill became a tradition when we head into the valley. Took us home a few dozen times. Lovely song.

Nah, just confirmation bias. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

Still don't understand what you crazy kids are doing in here.

Picking Radiohead songs way later than if you were in the draft.

Jimi- Little Wing (1967) #188

had always thought this was a Stevie Ray tune and always loved it... loved even more as a Jimi tune

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Speadsheet is updated.

@Ramsay Hunt Experienceis up. Clock does not officially start until 11 AM ET/8 AM PT.

@Steve Taskerowes 2 picks.

@Northern Voiceowes 3 picks.

I think we should follow this up with a very simple but fun draft: choose songs that are not on this list but should have been. It doesn’t have to be different artists. This would be a good pick.

Jimi- Little Wing (1967) #188

I love both of those versions, but I prefer Derek & The Dominoes' take over them.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Ok, give me a few minutes. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

12.18 (No. 423) -- Criminal -- Fiona Apple

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I love both of those versions, but I prefer Derek & The Dominoes' take over them.

I'll surrender all my cred and disclose that the version I listen to the most is by Concrete Blonde.
