Scott recently got married, right? They all seem like really cool guys. Is Dave as nuts as he seems? I love watching him on that SG.

I haven't been on Facebook for a while, so I don't know about Scott's marital status. Dave isn't "nuts" in terms of "unpredictable wild card", he's just a cool guy who is really funny. All three of those guys are great. Don't know Hammy and Marco, though I have met Marco in passing a few times.

I guess Dave comes across as a crazy character is what I met. Especially with the Ween crew. You should catch a show. They are so great.

Round 3
Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon (1970)
Double Fantasy - John Lennon - Yoko Ono (1980)
Mother
Working Class Hero
(Just Like) Starting Over
Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)
Although in recent years I've climbed aboard the Paul train more and more, John has always been my guy. When I woke up that morning, getting ready to go to school, at 13 years old, and heard the news that he'd been shot dead, I begged my mom to let me stay home that day. She did not.
These are my two favorites by him and they couldn't be more different. Plastic is John at his angriest and darkest, while Double Fantasy was a different side of John, one that was content and happy, following a self imposed hiatus from the music business. I love that album so much, I even like the Yoko songs

I was just into my discovery of The Beatles when I was 12, and I had just turned 15 when he was shot, so there was still a sense of 'freshness' to my fandom, though I wasn't as grief-stricken as most. Maybe it was because I was more of a Paul guy and didn't like the 'angry' John.Round 3

~2014, while driving down the road, I had the thought of writing a story that would have been about John surviving being shot, and all the things that would happen after that, but between it being too much like Forrest Gump and researching Mark David Chapman to the point where I could see writing him as a sympathetic character, I had to stop in my tracks.

This was my backup plan if Rubber Soul was gone at my 2nd pick. Still considered it last round but passed because I dont like the Yoko tracks.Round 3

I have to tell you, Flop, I was no music snob. It actually became the anthem of a cultural class/touchstone thing, one I knew I wasn't a part of, one where I didn't mind the music, but I knew I didn't belong within the culture.
Good luck regarding the job, by the way.

@timschochetwith one of my favorite newer (to me) albums ever with This Year's Model. I could easily listen to that album all day and never tire of it. I think I'll put it on now, actually.

These were on my long list. Haven't been revisiting Modern Vampires as much lately, but Vampire Weekend and another unnamed unspotlighted album still heavy in the rotation though.

I thought these guys might be gone due to scarcity and influence. I considered them at the last turn for that reason.
MC5
Kick Out the Jams (1969)
High Time (1971)
Like the Stooges and the Velvets, MC5 have an immeasurable influence on punk and other forms of "alternative rock." Their talents and interests were wide-ranging, as were their appetites for sex, drugs and rock and roll, and they imploded after three fantastic albums.
Their first release, Kick Out the Jams, was a live recording capturing their chaotic, exhilarating stage show, throwing everything in the mix from blues to Sun Ra. The title track provided a template for many bands who just wanted to generate chaotic fury. Guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith are the obvious standouts, but there were no weak links in this lineup.
Their second release and first studio album, Back in the USA (1970), is notable for being the first case of producer Jon Landau applying his vision to someone else's sound. Many of the songs are very good, but the record is more restrained than I would prefer.
Their final album before implosion, High Time (1971), combines the best elements of the first two, grafting the disciplined song structures of Back in the USA onto the sprawling grab-bag of Kick Out the Jams. It is to my ears one of the most underappreciated rock records ever released, and one of my favorite hard rock records by anyone.

Prep for this draft has kept me away from the Spanish language version Costello released last week. I was pretty unmoved by the singles.
The original version in English is one of my all-time favorites.

This album gets better as the years go on for me, but I have to be in the right rockin' mood. It's a great album, in my estimation. I took it for my 1971 album in tim's seventies draft, which is archived now.

Not much left on my short list so this is a no brainer at this point for me.
Yo Mama selects:
Genesis
Selling England by the Pound - 1973
A Trick of the Tail - 1976
Perfectly bridges not only the half decades, but the transition between Gabriel and Collins.
Picking songs from these albums will be as hard as picking my favorite kid, so I’ll choose those later (songs not kids)

I saw that on Spotify and had no concrete idea but I had an inkling. I see no need to really go down that rabbit hole other than as curiosity. French and you might have me. Spanish is not a favorite language of mine. Neither is German, so please don't think it's anything political. It's the sound. I don't like Spanish and German to my ears. I like French.

it was always this or Stooges for me last pick, but never both here for a limited draft. great, great albums- figured they'd go quick.
I am really not liking that one. Something off beyond the language.

Yeah, I was worried about letting that come back your way again. I know you are a big fan as well.
