I saw this tour - 2 shows at Soldier Field. I think it was 2000. DMB played Take Me To the River with Al Green.

Well, since Cash recorded about a gazillion albums, I guess there''s room for a couple more. Because I can, I choose
I Walk the Line (1964)
and
Whichever American Recording III or IV that Mr Snipey Eephus didn't steal.
@Raging weasel is up.
It seems I'm getting American IV: The Man Comes Around
Color me satisfied.

I do hope that this comes back once the corona is gone. Nothing better than being at a show and smelling the smell and looking to your left or right and seeing it coming your way

Having my age-50 colonoscopy tomorrow, so skip me if my turn comes up. I'll check in later in the day.

Take care, Pip. Best of luck with everything. It's a bit of a disruption, the whole process from nighttime until it's done, so best to you.

I usually get one every two years. I think I have had five or six. I am super overdue. I was scheduled to have one a month ago, but I canceled a few days before over a hurricane. No way I was drinking that stuff just to get canceled. Good luck! Tonight is the worst part by far.

Seems like a bad draft to be skipped, but if I am not around tomorrow and up, skip me.

No surprise that I'm drafting this band but the albums picked probably will.
Round5
Metallica
Kill 'Em All(1983)
...And Justice For All(1986)
I may be the only Metallica fan who prefers both of these over Master of Puppets. Side1 of MoP is their greatest work but side2 is so far behind the other's I drop it to 3rd.

My fluid was the powder poured into some Gatorade - tasted fine.
Good luck, Pip - really not so bad.
Just a reminder to skip me as well if my turn comes up.

I've reconsidered going for schadenfreude in this draft and decided to just stick with picking what I want instead.
5.12: The Moody Blues In Search of the Lost Chord (1968) and Long Distance Voyager (1981)
In May of '81, I was the 107th caller to DC's Q107 and my choices came down to Journey's Escape or Long Distance Voyager. You already know which one I chose, and it was because in my formative teenage years, when I was learning about The British Invasion, Nights in White Satin had stood out to me, so I went with the more familiar. As for the Journey Album, that's part of a story about Memorial Day Weekend of '81 that I need to write before it's too late.
The Moodies were another band I consumed during my college years, going from Days of Future Past through their fairly amazing run into the early 70s and their transition after founding member/keyboard player Mike Pinder retired and was replace by the more etherial sounds of Patrick Moraz. I chose these two because I think they bookend each other very nicely in the form of the later album's Veteran Cosmic Rocker. In Search of the Lost Chord includes Legend of a Mind (the Timothy Leary's dead song), as well as Om, is arguably their most hippy/LSD referencing album of the bunch, and you can almost see the character in the aforementioned Veteran Cosmic Rocker being born on the In Search of the Lost Chord album. The funny thing, though, is I didn't really care for that song until I saw them play it live in '88, and I had wanted the album for the lead track, The Voice, which they would recycle on subsequent albums with the similar sounding Your Wildest Dreams and I Know You're Out There Somewhere.
Songs from the albums:
Ride My See-Saw
Voices in the Sky
The Voice
Veteran Cosmic Rocker

I'm only 38 but I thought you could poop in a box and send it off to be tested now. Maybe that's for a different test. Or revenge.

Not sure if my stress and general anxieties show through in this draft.

I am waiting to 50, although I think they just changed the recommendation again and said you should get one at 4556 and haven't got mine either

I would be a little remiss if I did not grab at least 1 U2 pairing.
Pick 5.10
U2
War 1983
Sunday Bloody Sunday - Sarajevo version
Two Hearts Beat As One
Songs of Innocence 2014
The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)
The Troubles - seemed like a good bookend for Sunday Bloody Sunday
War was pretty easy, though I could have gone with any of the 1980-84 albums. I think the first time I heard of U2 was the Live at Red Rocks album - and the iconic "This song, is not a rebel song. This song is ... Sunday Bloody Sunday." I still like the original arrangement, but I really like the Sarajevo version, linked above.
Songs of Innocence is a bit more controversial - given that Apple and U2 decided to download it onto everyone's account - without permission. But, I found it to be an enjoyable listen. And, it reminds me (Close your eyes @krista4 ) that U2, while not everyone's cup of tea, might be the most Beatles-like band, since the Beatles - in the sense that they really evolved with their music over an extended period of time. They were not afraid to try new sounds, and the certainly veered pretty far from their roots.

A love the mix here between hits, ballads, dance club bangers and off kilter funk. Dance, music, sex, romance.

had been thinking about him too... but for me, 1999 was the grabber and the rest were just ok (I was going a different decade to pair with 1999). but tbh, 1999 is epic enough to carry some dead weight.

Parade is kind of the opposite of 1999. 1999 is so immediate and undeniable. Just hit after hit after hit. Parade is one that requires multiple listens IMO but it’s really strong and eclectic.

Wow, man. Like, wild, man.
These are great. I used to listen to Giant Steps all the time when I was younger, though jazz is really not my thing. "Syeeda's Song Flute" was probably my favorite to just listen to.
A Love Supreme I can't claim to know as intimately, but I'm sure it's wonderful.

I would have taken 1999 over Purple Rain. It wins on quantity and is a funner funkier record.
