Summerpalooza: Now at QB for the Buffalo Bills...Goo Goo Dolls (1 Viewer)

Sea Hags and Life, Sex, Death are so SF, iIRC. I love it. 

eta* Apparently Life, Sex, and Death are L.A- based. Still love it.

LSD was originally from Chicago which was within 50 miles of South Bend when I checked during the initial draft (when I should have been researching players).

I think they adopted that whole Stanley the homeless guy schtick once they moved to LA to separate themselves from the thousand other bands playing similar R'nR.   I guess it kind of worked out for them until their record label or their audience came to their collective senses.

 
I spent all this time before/during the draft setting up playlists for each team. 

my spotify app got so long to scroll through all that stuff, I tossed them all. that was dumb.

Nah, no sweat. Just love that you drafted those bands. They've been on my radar. Stanley the homeless guy as schtick was pretty weird, but not in keeping with music, really. It's Zappa-esque.

I think both of those bands' legacies (albeit to a small number of nerds who still care) were helped by their fleeting careers.  I doubt either would have been able to put together a second album that built on their debuts.  The usual combination of talent, egos and drugs affected both bands already and the Stanley gimmick wasn't built with career longevity in mind.

 
Sea Hags were aight.. I had that tape floating around the car, but I never got into it as much as I did Vain's No Respect.. glad to see that on Spotify now

Never heard Life Sex Death.. I was prepared to taunt but I like it

No Respect was probably my favorite hair-metal band's album. I still own it.

Forgot all about Vain.  I did consider Jetboy for the SF pick.

You would have loved the Bay Area in the 80s.  :headbang:

I listened to their set at M3 on a Saturday afternoon last year from my office's front stoop, while smoking cigarettes and something else.  Gotta say they sounded better than Great White.

It's the big hair metal festival they have outside Baltimore every year.  I never actually went, was tempted a few times but tbh I could never get anybody to go with me anyway  :bag:

Here's a guy looks a lot like Brett Favre, even wears number 4, if I was John Madden, I'd probably starting thinkin about maybe comin out of retirement, calling a few games with this guy in em

Speaking of #4 I thought about picking this  delicious guy up but stuck with Derek Carr instead and in other news my season is over :ptts:

I was waiting for the MLS playoff game last night, so flipped around the chanels... once again, surprised that the NFL plays on thursdays (I've been surprised every week for years). they had a pregame going and mentioned that kid, said he was starting... wala- a million magic points.

I must have missed that draft.. No Respect and Badlands, Jake E Lee's "supergroup", also ~first half '89, still make it into my rotation

Yeah, it was the hair metal portion of the draft. Sad you missed it. Yep, totally '89. Jake E. Lee's supergroup, though, I'm losing you on. I just don't know them.   

 
University of Oregon is in exactly the right spot to be just over 100 miles from so many good bands, so screw it, I;m picking from teams for these two Oregon alums

This is by all logic a Canadian band, IMO, were these guys even remotely popular in the States? Wikipedia says formed in Boston, so... anyway Some massive hits up here, and I'm just going to go ahead and take the biggest of them all. This song is 'That song' - takes me back to high school and the best compilation album ever* (and 8x platinum in Canada :lmao:  ) Big Shiny Tunes 3. This is also the fourth or fifth piece of 90s nostalgia I've drafted, so helps me try to make some kind of coherence to this if I make it into a real playlist at the end.

For Kenjon Barber, who I've already dropped, New England

Big Wreck - That Song

* to my 14 year old self.

 
Thank God I sat Tevin Coleman at the last minute for Brock Osweiler. That seemed to work well. I always thought Coleman was the best back in Atlanta. Oh wells.

Well he's surely been better than my second round pick DeVonta Freeman who's played only one or two games for me.

I think it'd be another RBBC if they both were truly healthy, with Freeman picking up most of the work. Good work this week. Love Mahomes. Damn it. Still kicking myself over having Heartbeat picked out and everything. 

:)

David Byrne started his music career in Baltimore County - maybe the individuals “origin” doesn’t count though and that only applies to the band?

i can repick if necessary
