I know you guys are doing another 90s draft next and we talked about a disco era draft, but any interest in an early '60s, pre-British Invasion draft with ONLY US charting songs allowed. (No Beatles when they were in Hamburg and may have charted some very early version of "She Loves You").

Say a year like 1961 or 1962. This would be a real test of knowedge of the foundations of rock. Or even go back to a mid-50s draft. (I'd love to see some of you guys drafting Perry Como, Jo Stafford or Patti Page :D )

Drafting favorites from the "usual suspects" would seem a little boring, to me. :nerd:

I can go pre-Beatles, but I don't think I can go pre-Elvis.
 
Here's the wildbill list:

1.09 wildbill - Elvis Presley - "Burning Love"

2.10 wildbill - Johnny Nash - "I Can See Clearly Now"

3.09 wildbill - The Eagles - "Peaceful, Easy Feeling"

4.10 wildbill - The Doobie Brothers - "Jesus Is Just Alright"

5.09 wildbill - Todd Rundgren - "I Saw The Light"

6.10 wildbill - Steely Dan - "Dirty Work"

7.09 wildbill - Danny O'Keefe - "Goodtime Charlie's Got The Blues"

8.10 wildbill - Billy Paul - "Me And Mrs. Jones"

9.09 wildbill - Charley Pride - "Kiss An Angel Good Morning"

10.10 wildbill - The Spinners - "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love"

11.09 wildbill - Albert Hammond - "It Never Rains In Southern California"

12.10 wildbill - Carrol O'Connor and Jean Stapleton - "Those Were The Days"

I LOVE my first seven. My last five are made up of songs that I like, but aren't really among my all-time favorites.

I got some Elvis, I got some Eagles, and I got some Doobies. That makes me happy.

I think I'd be way out of my element. I could do any year between say, '67 and '85, but it gets very sketchy for me outside those boundaries.

This might be my favrorite list.
 
Did we really take a comedy bit? Or did he sing a song called that too?
It was from one of my most memorable albums that year... if figured I'd withdraw if any objections. And if you are objecting (which is fine by me), replace it with:You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio / Joni Mitchell

Oh, if no one else is objecting I'm sure not... I was just wondering if it was made into a song and I didn't know, that would be pretty amusing.

:thumbup: This will be my M.O. for all future pre-77 drafts.... after round 7 I was out of ideas, so I brought in the old guy to close. Not a big fan of the comedy track idea, at least for me, but it seems like everyone else was fine with it so cool... I suppose we will allow it for future drafts.

 
Get ready for 91, those who are in.  PM me if you won't be around tomorrow morning but want to reserve a spot.
What are the #s looking like for the 91 draft?
So far only 2 PM's but that doesn't mean much. A lot of the usuals will probably jump in, I'm sure it will fill up once the thread goes up.
 
If anyone's interested:

There are 2 studio albums in particular that no one has touched yet

(they're kind of sneaky and have probably avoided detection, but would be fairly popular if certain individuals realized that they came out in '72).
Jerry Garcia & Bob Weir both had "solo" albums in '72:Jerry Garcia

Garcia's first solo album. Recorded almost entirely by Garcia with assistance from Bill Kreutzmann (drums) and Robert Hunter (lyrics). Six of the songs became regulars in the Grateful Dead repertoire.

Deal

Bird Song

Sugaree

Loser

Late For Supper

Spidergawd

Eep Hour

To Lay Me Down

An Odd Little Place

The Wheel



Ace

Bob Weir's first solo LP. This is a Grateful Dead album in all but name. The musicians involved were the current line-up of the Dead plus a guest. Seven of the eight songs became standards in the Dead repertoire.

Greatest Story Ever Told

Black Throated Wind

Walk In The Sunshine

Playing In The Band

Looks Like Rain

Mexicali Blues

One More Saturday Night

Cassidy

Also, another VERY famous live album has not been touched.

Has some MEGA hits on it.
The Concert for BangladeshIn the slim chance that you haven't heard of it

"George Harrison/Ravi Shankar Introduction"

"Bangla Dhun" (A raga performed by Ravi Shankar)

"Wah-Wah"

"My Sweet Lord"

"Awaiting On You All"

"That's The Way God Planned It" (Performed by Billy Preston)

"It Don't Come Easy" (Performed by Ringo Starr)

"Beware Of Darkness" (Featuring Leon Russell on one verse)

"Band Introduction"

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

"Medley: Jumpin' Jack Flash/Youngblood" (Performed by Leon Russell, with Don Preston on "Youngblood")

"Here Comes The Sun"

"A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"*

"It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry"*

"Blowin' In The Wind"*

"Mr. Tambourine Man*

"Just Like A Woman"*

*(Performed by Bob Dylan, accompanied by Harrison, Ringo Starr and Leon Russell)

"Something"

"Bangla Desh"

Just read that this was Dylan's first official "live" release.

Still another live album came out that is kind of along the lines of Nige's Cream Live II choice.

Recorded a few years before, but released in '72.

(Didn't realize either existed until this week).
Hendrix - In The WestHendrix in the West is a collection of extremely good live Hendrix performances between 1968-1970. Three different concerts are sampled on this 1972 Polydor/Reprise release, one of the few official live Hendrix releases following his death. Standouts include "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile" from the San Diego Sports Arena, a great rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes" from the Berkeley Community Center, and the brief but entertaining coupling of "God Save the Queen" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" from the Isle of Wight. Noel Redding appears on bass on the three songs taken from the San Diego show and Billy Cox appears on bass for the rest of the tracks. Originally released on LP, Hendrix in the West has appeared on CD only as an import.

Johnny B. Goode

Lover Man

Blue Suede Shoes

Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

God Save The Queen

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Little Wing

Red House

Also, can't believe the amount of KILLER jazz that came out in '72.
See other post. Found lots more that I haven't heard also.
REALLY hate to leave off the jazz number I had lined up, since it is off of one of my 5 favorite jazz albums from any year.
Album is This One's for Blanton by Duke Ellington & Ray Brown.Great, great album of duets (piano and bass).

My 2 favorite tracks are:

"See See Rider"

& "Fragmented Suite for Piano & Bass - 3rd Movement"

:banned:

After a preliminary look at '91, there is more stuff I know than I initially thought.I don't want to take the spot of anyone who is jonesing to be in the draft, but if you need a warm body, let me know.
