Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (1 Viewer)

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I have to go to the Dr now, 

For a second, I thought I had missed a Dr. John song on the list and was pissed.

 

[Raging weasel]

I'm boxed out of a couple of the top remaining sings in this pack unless I want to double down on an artist (I don't) so let's grab another canon classic from my mom's favourite band. 

14.08 - Paint It Black - Rolling Stones (#213)

One I was hoping would drop to me

 

[krista4]

I'll be leaving to pick up my youngest in about 20 minutes.  He will probably insist on a trip to the coffee shop after school and I am not good at enforcing boundaries, so I'll probably be out of pocket from 2:50 to 3:40 or so.  I can send a pick/and some backups to Krista.

Sounds good.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

She went, so in the words of Stevie Nicks, it all comes down to you. Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice. 

the only lightning song for me - and I looove Stevie

when it's "lightning STRIKING" - it's Lou, but for only song purposes.

You misspelled favorite.

- Ted Lasso.

I was going to take this, primarily because Floppinho played skins on it a couple years ago in one of his School of Rock gigs.

Ok... I've shamelessly plugged both kids. Let's see what else I've got.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Love that song! Was just humming it a bit ago as I watched This go by on the Detroit River.

really?  you love the Edmund Fitzgerald song?

you know that was an integral part of the Viet Cong's torture process don't you?

This is Live erasure.

How can you diss a song with the line "Her placenta falls to the floor"?

steal.  

can't believe it's still out there 

there are some really good songs out there ...unfortunately for me - the vast majority of them are in tiers that were already stuffed with goodness and I have already taken something from there.

we can't see much of him - but sweet hair swing.

wut?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

wut?

Lightning Crashes by Live.  And I had always made fun of the dolphins crying in their other song.

ahhhh ...good call, we absolutely love that entire Throwing Copper album - saw them in concert too.

and yet another great group with ZERO in the top 500

Adding to first post!

Lightning Crashes by Live.  And I had always made fun of the dolphins crying in their other song.  

Once a semester, we would have a big blowout on campus, called either Fallfest or Springfest, respectively.  They'd book really solid musical acts, free for students, would just be one huge party, usually alternating a rock act and a hip hop act.  All the standard college party fare, the pregaming all that.  My freshman year we had Incubus and Snoop Dogg as headliners.  Sophomore year, we had Kanye for Fallfest, a stop on the Late Registration tour.  It was a spectacle, he brought like half an orchestra.  They were 3-for-3 in my college career.  Who was going to be headlining Springfest 2006?

That's right, you guessed it - Our Lady Peace, with Live as the opener.  I've never seen a more bored crowd at a show than during that Live show.  Who in their right mind thought Live would be a hit with college students in 2006?

 

[Steve Tasker]

 I've never seen a more bored crowd at a show than during that Live show.  

Actually, I take this back.  I saw When In Rome (the modern iteration) once, in a crowd of about 30 people.  That was worse.

But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you, I will

I always add a sploop after that line as I sing along

 

[Doug B]

when it's "lightning STRIKING" - it's Lou, but for only song purposes.

Worth inclusion in this list of 500, FWIW.

 

[Doug B]

Love that song! Was just humming it a bit ago as I watched This go by on the Detroit River.

really?  you love the Edmund Fitzgerald song?

Heck, yes!

Slap it high, Raging weasel  

 

[Doug B]

I'm just trying to avoid the coconuts. I'll be fine with pretty much anything else. 

I love the taste of coconut.

Coconut macaroons = food of the gods.

 

[Doug B]

14.02 - The Meters - "Cissy Strut" (#158)

Plenty of options left in this category, but this is the only one that really grabs me.

If we ever have a real Mardi Gras again ... come on down and you'll hear a ton of this.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

For a second, I thought I had missed a Dr. John song on the list and was pissed.

So you thought you were in the right place at the wrong time? 

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Just catching up now I had a ####### awesome day today.  I’m starting a new career as a high school teacher and right now I’m student teaching.  Today I got observed teaching (I need to do this 8x) and it was the first time I ever taught an entire class. I made up this interactive role playing game to play with the kids as part of the lesson and it absolutely killed.  I feel so great right now.*
 

* I am high too but it’s MOSTLY because of the teaching thing.

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Gimme a few minutes.  I have some notes written down but they’re all the way upstairs so I gotta start from scratch.

 

[krista4]

fatguy's high and picking soon we hope.  @the moops can also pick.

 

[krista4]

Gimme a few minutes.  I have some notes written down but they’re all the way upstairs so I gotta start from scratch.

Oh sorry.  I don't think moops will be on that quickly anyway.  

 

[the moops]

Oh sorry.  I don't think moops will be on that quickly anyway.  

READY!

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

READY!

As long as you’re not picking David Bowie - Young Americans, you can pick before me.

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Break down and cryyyyy!

 

[krista4]

I think I know fatguy's pick.  Don't ask me how.

 

[El Floppo]

different angle

 

[the moops]

I gotta run.

And I love Harry Styles and I am not ashamed.

[krista4]

@Mansteris up.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

 I've spent pretty much the entirety of my children's' lives thinking that One Direction wrote That's What Make "U" So Useful as an original song for Sesame Street as opposed to just re-working That's What Makes You Beautiful.  So suffice it to say, I'm not familiar with Harry's solo work.

U, you are so unique come take a bow;

U, there are udders under that cow;

U, check it out, it's Bert's unibrow

They start with "U", Ooo ooo

U, you know you're so useful!

 

[Binky The Doormat]

different angle

awesome man!

 

[Northern Voice]

I gotta run.

And I love Harry Styles and I am not ashamed.

Sign of the Times (428)

I relistened to this song because of this draft. It is indeed awesome. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

So you thought you were in the right place at the wrong time? 

Had the right ribs, must've used the wrong sauce;

ran the right race, must've backed the wrong hoss ...

 

[Yo Mama]

I gotta run.

And I love Harry Styles and I am not ashamed.

Sign of the Times (428)

I initially thought this was the Prince version when making my list. 

 

[Northern Voice]

I initially thought this was the Prince version when making my list. 

I thought this too because it's one of my favourite Prince songs but the Styles song is a solid Queen inspired ballad.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I initially thought this was the Prince version when making my list. 

If they had included two songs off of that album and STILL not included I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man, I would have rioted.

 

[Manster]

#140 No Woman No Cry.  Marley 

No brainer with what was left......the frat boy anthem, right?  Anyway, I'm actually listening to Marley right now....my wife had Marley playing during child birth with both our kids....the most relaxing protest music ever!

 

[krista4]

  at the thread title update

I just updated it again, because it occurred to me I could have done better.

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Parlez-vous chat?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I'm going to have to check out shortly for the evening. I don't know if my picks will come up tonight or not, but would someone mind taking a list from me in case they do?

 

[landrys hat]

I'm happy to take picks from you or k4 anytime

 

[Yo Mama]

Gotta grab this one since I could see this grouping start to get picked clean in the next couple rounds and this is my favorite there.  Yo Mama selects:

#300 - Rock Lobster - B-52s

For a song with pretty silly lyrics, this song is an absolute jam.   I’ll now be singing this the rest of the day. 
 

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dog-fish
Chased by a cat-fish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!

 

[Yo Mama]

I'm going to have to check out shortly for the evening. I don't know if my picks will come up tonight or not, but would someone mind taking a list from me in case they do?

I can take them since I’m behind you (snicker)
