The 1972 Song Draft ... (1 Viewer)

[simey]

Sorry, I forwarded you the wrong PM.

 

[zamboni]

When we get back to the 70's, I'm mostly picking hits.

A lot of hits from the 70's are great songs.

Agreed. I think we can do a solid '72 draft without even having to delve that far into deep album cuts.

true but for us youngins theres not alot of fun little nuggets to dig out for the later rounds like there are in 80s or 90s drafts.

Who has Junior's pick? Looks like it's been over 20 minutes.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

BTW, off topic - but would anyone be interested in a Beatles draft. I didn't think there would be enough songs to go around for 10 to 12 drafters, but think I just looked at my MP3 player and found 120+ so I know it could go 10 or so rounds...

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Nigel, you up? I've gotta run for an hour or so, and would like to make my pick.

 

[JuniorNB]

I'm back.

Yes- Roundabout

 

[zamboni]

I'm back.

Yes- Roundabout

That's so classic rock of you.:sellout:

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

So, is everything on IV fair game? I assume so, since it was released so late in '71. I've got to go with ...

Led Zeppelin - "Stairway to Heaven"

XSorry Bro.

"Black Dog" & "Rock & Roll" were released as singles in '72.

That's why they were legal . . .

Absolutely.

2.09 David Bowie---Suffragette City

Okay. Keep on going with the draft, I've got to regroup.

Steely Dan - "Reelin' in the Years"

Nice pick - I like this better than Ziggy but I understand why Ziggy was taken before SC.

 

[Uncle Humuna]

Steely Dan - "Reelin' in the Years"

Um, uh, no, no, I was wrong, maybe Stairway was okay . . .

 

[Hov34]

Steely Dan - "Reelin' in the Years"

[wildbill]

Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now

It's a great song on it's own, but the fact that it's been used in both Grosse Pointe Blank and South Park bumps it up even higher.

I saw the video for this recently on VH1 Classic. Cheesy, but cool.

Yes- Roundabout

That's so classic rock of you.:sellout:

I caved in to the classic rock peer pressure. :( Actually, I've always like Yes. This song is just "poppy" enough to appeal to me.

 

[simey]

Steely Dan - "Reelin' in the Years"

Um, uh, no, no, I was wrong, maybe Stairway was okay . . .

I like it too, but like some other bands already taken, there are plenty of other album cuts to choose from.

I'll also pass, Hov. Great idea, but I'm afraid it would Beatle me out.

Back in the day (college years) this song was played about every 15 minutes on the AOR FM stations. You got mighty sick of this song after a while.In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky

AND THEY STAAAAAND THERE!

Well, what else are they going to do?
