Ah, okay. Don't read the reviews then. They're in exercise in self-importance that allows each writer to revel in his double major of either English and Music Comp or Sociology and Music Comp. It gets pretty annoying pretty quickly.
NME would have a ton of overlap.
Hadn't thought about overlap tbh.
as you'd expect. I think some drafters might find it too obscure.
Yeah I would be more interested in something open ended but I’m down for whatever.I shuffled through the Pitchfork 500 on my walk today. It's pretty different from the RS list, less poppy, more
I'm not crazy about doing limited pool drafts back to back but I guess that's the flavor of the month.
ETA: but I don't have a better idea and would probably be in for anything
I thought we could do something of our top 500. Exclude all the songs from the RS500. Obviously there could be some more twists but something more open ended.
I wish I could say "idea guy here," but I don't think I've ever come up with anything really good or that made sense. Darn it.
I like the limited pool draft(s).But I like strategy and math.
And I don't mind keeping them up, to the extent of my feeble abilities.
I'm going to have to go ahead and say that a ton of alcohol mixed with a lot of willingness to stir up controversy caused me to take out a thread that partially helped get it reinstated. I think I entitled it "Worst Moderation Ever On The Board" or something. Everyone joined. Ahhh, the good old days of unrepentant boozing.
Unrepentant boozing aside, that was needed. They thought we were making fun of Bowie and Petty and Lennon and Hendrix? Like WTF???
It was Mr. Ected's "Bring Out Your Dead" joke that did it for the mods. I remember that was discussed and we said no more of that sort of stuff would be joked about and they let us have the thread.
We did. Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, and who was the third? It was a girl group, remember? Lou Reed was our songwriter. Jack Bruce was bass. On guitar -- I forget, might have been Hendrix. Keith Moon was our drummer.
Could have been Hendrix. I can not remember that at all. I remembered most of the others you mentioned.
Yup, I remember there was a mass shooting and everybody was really on edge. That's why I personally wasn't as put off as I might have otherwise been. I still started a thread, but that's just because I'm melodramatic anyway.
My wife inexplicably put the Kidz Bop version of Uptown Funk on her car playlist and it is SO creepy hearing a 12 year-old singing about getting horned up for Michelle Pfeiffer.
