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

I've updated the first post with playlists, but again let me know if I missed yours.

Also, I attributed one to Yo Mama even though I had already forgotten whose it was.  Based on the songs and title, I thought i had it right, but I might not have.  :lol:   Let me know.

Please continue to post your playlists and I will add them to the first post.  I'm going to download these and listen on my way back from this god-forsaken place on Monday and really looking forward to listening!

Thanks to everyone for drafting and making it a really good draft!  We had no drop-outs or lollygaggers, which is incredible for these drafts.  Amazing.  And so many people pitched in to help move it along and keep the DONT-TOUCH-IT draft sheet updated.

 
I have 11 playlists on the first page.  I owe three (me, Uruk , cos), so there are still 11 more that I hope will come in.  :)

Fun fact: Billy Joel claims he played on a demo of this song, but isn't sure if his playing ended up on the final track. However, check out the percussion and some other touches here and compare them to his "Say Goodbye to Hollywood." I would say he had this song in mind when he wrote that one.

Heady stuff -- Joel had just turned 15 in May 1964 when "Leader of the Pack" was recorded. He recounts that he decided to become a professional musician after seeing The Beatles on Ed Sullivan in February 1964.

All right, the spreadsheet is OK now.  I've put Binky's pick in, and we just need the three remaining people to claim their dregs.

I'll update the first post with Floppo's playlist even though he is a terrible, terrible person

Oh wait, his playlist was already there!  So he's awful x a billion!

 
Pip's Invitation said:
This is probably appropriate, not because the song is bad (I don't think it is), but because I would guess the least favorite genre of the collective drafters is modern country.

Oh wow, didn't know what he was.  Definitely makes sense that he wasn't beloved in these parts.

You got my playlist correct on the first post - thanks for running this whole thing-a-ma-jig.

It's a good song and Eric Church is the best we can hope for as a representative of modern mainstream country (not counting any of the current elite tier of Sturgill Simpson, Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton as mainstream)

I don't know enough about what is and isn't mainstream in that world, but the one country station in Philly (which my wife frequently listens to) plays Lambert and Stapleton. The other three, I'm more likely to hear on WXPN.

Not that I'm particularly knowledgeable about contemporary country music, but I thought these three were about as centerline mainstream as you could get in their genre. Especially Lambert.

I am super-excited to get this happiest of Happy Greens and also to add another woman to my playlist.  I think I've taken more women in this draft than any other.  That probably means like four of them, but it's a start!  (I probably should have kept a list of my picks.)

Big Mama Thornton - Hound Dog  (#318)

I recall you mentioning in the past that you dislike female singers who use baby voice.

Yeah, this is the opposite. Big Mama is flat-out belting. I pity whoever the dude is that crossed her.

I don't have it. I used to, but the only time I ever used it was for these drafts and I found I wasn't revisiting the draft playlists.

It's funny how many times I've changed in my musical consumption preferences (I'm betting most in this thread have gone through similar changes).

When I was a little kid, all we had was the radio & records so there wasn't a lot of choice in media or how to listen. It was mostly Top 40 and vinyl, with a smidge of free-form thrown in when my hippie aunt would babysit.

When I got to be a teenager in the mid-70s, I started wanting to curate my own playlists so I started making mix 8-tracks from my record collection (as well as those of my friends). Even into the '80s, you could still buy stereos with 8-track players in them but they were pretty much overrun by cassettes. So I started making my own cassettes. I had also soured on commercial radio and only listened to oldies stations when I did tune in (I missed the rise of MTV as I didn't have cable). 

I was still making mix tapes well into the '90s off of CDs (my brother still has a couple of these - they're creaky as hell, but still play) and, late in the decade, burning mix CDs 

Then I all of a sudden got tired of curating my listening  - right when satellite radio hit, which was fortunate timing. I was in heaven with XM Radio. They had many channels that were programmed intelligently & were fun (unlike commercial FM) that I loved: The Loft, Soul Street, X-Country, Deep Tracks, etc.... I bought a lifetime subscription and still stream many of the channels (my last actual receiver died many years ago), though some are a shell of their former selves since the merger with Sirius. 

Then, several years ago, I gravitated to left-of-the-dial listener-supported radio stations. Don't know why, but they were playing lots of music I liked. I support three of them, though I mostly listen to XPN out of Philly. They turn me onto a ton of new music and are creative in their playlists.

When I hear people say "music sucks these days", I shake my head. There is music being made every day and there are ways to find it fairly easily, whether it's by computers, curated lists on Spotify/Pandora, satellite, streaming stations, etc...

This is the best era of my lifetime to listen to music. If you only want to hear music played in 1976, you can do that. If Bulgarian nuns covering Panamanian death metal, you can find it. If you want to build a playlist of 10 million songs and only listen to that, go for it. Have someone else pick all of your music, they are out there.

There's still good music around, you've just gotta know where to find it, and most people don't want to make the effort. My listening these days is almost entirely YouTube/Spotify.

Did you vote in XPN's best albums poll yet? Results will be aired in December.

Yes & no. I tried twice last week, got 9 albums in, then everything froze. I may try again today.

 
Pip's Invitation said:
I picked 9 albums that have a chance of making the cut, and Failure's Fantastic Planet, which will depend on how many other members of its cult voted. 😆

I picked a bunch of 1970s funk - which, to be fair, XPN does a fairly good job of mixing in compared to most AAA stations - and then (hopefully) some catnip more in line with their regular programming (Leon Bridges, Rosanne Cash, Stevie Wonder, Golden Smog). And Grand Funk, because I'm true to my values dammit.

Agree with everything you say. And will add there's all kinds of new music being generated that turns my crank every bit as much as any of the "classics" did back when I first heard them.

Have you given WFMU a try? NYC radio has always been horrible, but wfmu is a beacon of freeform hope in the sea of homogenous commerical bleh.

Reggae on now...from old to new, followed by Doug Jones and x-ray burns...try to be a comedy, Howard Stern type act, play a mix of middle age white guy music (I'm not a fan). 

Check the schedule- each dj/timeslot has their own hugely varied style and type of music.

I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but we have Amazon prime and the Alexa app with three different speakers in our house.......I've only been able to stump Alexa once on a song.  It's been a great way for my kids to get exposed to all kinds of music......I'm torn because Amazon is so handy, but they are also a huge, soul sucking corporation that is now listening to everything in my house!  Lol.

We just make an effort to support small local businesses too and not order everything from amazon

I stream everything through my Alexas, so you're not alone. 

 
Sorry I couldn’t make my last pick yesterday because when I checked the sheet was down? 
So now my pick has been made for me which is OK.
