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

[krista4]

I wanna cook dinner, but I have Uruk's picks and don't see Yo Mama around.  See what I do for you people?!  Starve myself?!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I have four blocs with 6, 7 or 8 No Hesitation picks left. But only one has a Beatles song in it.

14.22 Yesterday -- The Beatles (#72, bloc 51-75)

It's only, like, the most famous song ever.

@Uruk-Haiup. I believe @krista4and/or @Yo Mamahas his pick. 

 

[krista4]

By the way, I've deemed this "?!" an interrobang and this "!?" a questclamation mark.  Or maybe it's the other way around.  Named these with my friend Doug about 18-20 years ago.

@Uruk-Haiup. I believe @krista4and/or @Yo Mamahas his pick. 

You don't know how much it killed me not to go double-Beatles and take "Fast Car" instead. 

For Uruk:

Bobby Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe  (#191)

@Ilov80s up!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

interrobang 

Can we say that in this day and age?

Has 80s even been around today?

I drafted her in Genrepalooza.

The Bobbie Gentry tribute album that Buffalo's own Mercury Rev put out a couple years ago is better than the average tribute.

By the way, I realize it is "Bobbie" not "Bobby," but I went with the spelling on the spreadsheet.

interrobang

 "golly that was fun"

 

[Ilov80s]

I’m here and will pick in a second 

 

[Raging weasel]

Oh, by the way, as I was out driving today I heard the following song on the "Deep Tracks" station of SiriusXM:  "Ruby Tuesday."  No, not some obscure version, but The Rolling Stones.   

Its funny what they consider deep sometimes. Iv heard Van Halens Ain't Talkin bout Love and Unchained on there and don't consider them deep tracks. Deep tracks usually don't appear on your greatest hits CDs.

 

[krista4]

I’m here and will pick in a second 

Yay!  The clock is about to go off, so officially you needn't worry.  Also, as soon as you pick, then landrys just breaks my heart again.  :(  

 

[Ilov80s]

Round 14

54 The Tracks of My Tears by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles

always room for more Motown

 

[Eephus]

By the way, I realize it is "Bobbie" not "Bobby," but I went with the spelling on the spreadsheet. 

The spelling and definitive articles in the spreadsheet are atrocious

 

[Raging weasel]

Off to Florida at 6am so if I don't make it in time for my pick skip and I'll catch up.

 

[cosjobs]

Hotel California is a 6 1/2 minute song.

I try to avoid songs with extended instrumental parts because singing comes easier to me than standing awkwardly on stage.

You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave

 

[krista4]

Round 14

54 The Tracks of My Tears by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles

You're welcome.  Had this queued up for sure for sure and then made a last-minute switch to Tracy Chapman, in order to avoid just taking the same stuff I always do and also to get a female.  LOVE this song!

 

[krista4]

@landrys hat

   

 

[Atomic Punk]

Off to Florida at 6am so if I don't make it in time for my pick skip and I'll catch up.

Same for me, except it’s not Florida, it’s all day at the office meeting and shmoozing.

 

[cosjobs]

It's even more than 40% less than what he was doing.  And breaks.  And lunch.  And benefits.  And PTO.  And profit-sharing.  And #### breaks that don't count as your real breaks.

I have no idea what the lemon juice thing is, but my car REEKED of seafood when I just drove it.  :(

I don't know what "if I don't make it in time for my pick" means.  Shall we just put you on a 10-minute clock or something?

Round 14

#253 Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain by Willie Nelson

Round 15

#145 Ms Jackson by Outkast

 

[Pip's Invitation]

@Ilov80sup again

 

[krista4]

Round 14

#253 Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain by Willie Nelson

Oh well, well, yeah, I'm sure I have another song left in there that's Happy Green, sure sure.  Sure sure.  SURE SURE.

 

[krista4]

Round 14

#253 Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain by Willie Nelson

Oh well, well, yeah, I'm sure I have another song left in there that's Happy Green, sure sure.  Sure sure.  SURE SURE.

I've thought about taking this for 52 straight rounds, though, so that's on me.

 

[krista4]

Remember how I said landrys would suffer in the later rounds for all his fantastic picks?  He's not suffering!  I demand 1067% more suffering!!   

 

[krista4]

We can make a small run, as I have Uruk's and it looks like Pip and Eephus are around.

 

[Manster]

Lookin at what's left and it's a straight up wasteland

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Where'd '80s go?

 

[simey]

and I love and appreciate it!!!

   He is my favorite cast member/alumni of SNL. Jan Hooks is up there too.

 

[krista4]

  Hard to understand.  @Ilov80s?

 

[simey]

You don't know how much it killed me not to go double-Beatles and take "Fast Car" instead. 

For Uruk:

Bobby Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe  (#191)

I remember when the movie was made out of this song in the mid 70s or so.  I wasn't expecting the big thing that happened in it.  I had a brief crush on Robby Benson. I liked him in One on One.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

first fell in love with this guy on HBO and watching the stage play version of PeeWee's Playhouse as Captain Carl

And he designed a bunch of album covers, including Steely Dan's Aja. https://r1creative.net/feed/album-covers-designed-by-legendary-comedian-phil-hartman/

There is still a song I love in that grouping. Get it!

omg ...did you get drafted?

 

[Atomic Punk]

Can’t speak for RW but you can just skip me if I come up before 5:00 CST tomorrow.

[Eephus]

I don't want to slow this up any more in the AM.  Who's up early in the East and can take a list?

 

[Eephus]

There are still a bunch of songs that I love unequivocally

Plenty of talent available

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I'm usually online around 8 AM Eastern. But I pick right before you, so if you're not comfortable with that, I understand. I wouldn't open your PM until after I pick. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Agreed. I've already decided on what bloc I'm picking in the last round because I'd be fine with anything left from it. I've got at least 6 No Hesitation picks left in all my remaining blocs, though that could dwindle quickly depending on what others do.

GD you would have been a great coach.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

my team in in there right now.

 

[krista4]

For those of you who care, which is all of you, Otis won Fat Bear Week this year.  I think it was simey who called him out as a contender?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

btw ...going to miss this when it's over ...like the idea of a another top 500
