I would guess that all three of these are or were thought to be ineligible or they would have gotten drafted.Breakdown (Petty?)School's Out (Cooper?)Everyone's picked, right?

i tried drafting a petty song off that same album and it got shot down, so i figured breakdown was ineligible. don't know if i would have taken it anyway.I would guess that all three of these are or were thought to be ineligible or they would have gotten drafted.Breakdown (Petty?)School's Out (Cooper?)Everyone's picked, right?

no problemo.sorry, bro.argh. i already did it.Here's my set list:
Bee Gees -"Stayin' Alive"
Ted Nugent - "Cat Scratch Fever"
The Eagles -"New Kid In Town"
Hall & Oates -"Rich Girl"
Odyssey - "Native New Yorker"
Barbra Streisand - "Evergreen"
Sanford Townsend Band - "Smoke From a Distant Fire"
Atlanta Rhythm Section - "So Into You"
Rose Royce - "Car Wash"
ABBA - "Money, Money, Money"
Mary MacGregor - "Torn Between Two Lovers"
Rod Stewart - "You're In My Heart (The Final Aclaim)"
This won't win, but it's a classic line-up of songs on the radio in 1977.
these were eligible? jeez, didn't see em anywhere.School's OutI'm EighteenEveryone's picked, right?
Time for a few that slipped through the cracks?
i'll start a signup thread with the list on the last page. if i don't hear any different, i'll start a draft monday morning at 9ish EST. (tween 9 and 9:30)Zilla said he'd do it but I'm not sure if he'd "prefer" to do it. See what he says.killernerd and i have talked about co-commishing before, so maybe we could do the band draft.Thanks for setting up the polls, am. I'm commissionered out.![]()

I'm Eighteen (Cooper?)uring the early '70s, the original Alice Cooper put on amazing live shows, cranking out mega-decibel hard rock anthems and combining theatrics with high-energy performances. But after the band split up in 1974, Alice went in a much more theatrical direction, almost as if the music was secondary to the live performance. Despite the fact that the original band excelled in a live setting, a live album from the era was never issued; AC's first live release turned out to be 1977's Alice Cooper Show. The album wasn't culled from the best performances of his most recent tour; instead it was limited to a pair of shows at the Aladdin Hotel in Nevada. Alice was still in the throes of alcoholism, and all the contributing factors add up to a largely lackluster live collection. Sure, such classics as "Under My Wheels," "Eighteen," "Billion Dollar Babies," and "School's Out" benefit from a crowd's presence, but the production and the performances are pretty darn flat and uninspired throughout.
Looks like Breakdown was a single off his debut album in 1976 and relased again with a different B-side in 1977, according to Allmusic. Not sure what's up with that.
I pulled that out of my ###, but if that sounds reasonable to everyone, we could do that.and what was the final #?

Off of Jeff Beck With the Jan Hammer Group Live
Pretty funny review:
Review by William Ruhlmann
Jeff Beck toured to promote Wired, backed by a jazz fusion group led by synthesizer player Jan Hammer. This straightforward live souvenir combines songs from Blow by Blow and Wired, plus a few other things, and while it features typically fiery playing from Beck, the backup is a bit too heavy-handed and the occasional vocals (by Hammer and drummer Tony Smith) are embarrassing.
Alright what's the deal with this? I apologize for being out of the loop for the most part today. Had to go to the orthopedist, things are looking pretty shaky, I have an MRI scheduled for Monday morning. Could be some tearage according to the amount of blood that was in the fluid they drained :X Had a couple/few beers afterwards with my boy beaglemac who is in town. Anyway. looks like maybe I am commishing, maybe not? If Killer and amnesiac want to do it, then I am MORE than happy to concede that privelege.Good stuff.For Zilla, or whoever has the balls to Commish this thing, the following are IN so far:Nigel TufnelI don't know if I've ever seen a "Band Draft" done. I say, if you're going to do it, do it big and make it "All-time."

That is 13 so far, by my count. Does someone want to mock up some rules? Should we start another thread? We should probably set a team limit at 16 or 20 at most, so everybody gets some of their favorite bands before we are fighting over Captain and Tenille in the 5th round.
Maybe 16 teams/16 rounds? That is 250+ bands.
Also, maybe require the selector to choose their favorite album or 3 favorite songs or somesuch from each band, so if they are unfamilar to someone, we might have a starting place to grab some tunes from?

How Deep Is Your Love is a near-perfect ballad. Because it was on the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack, people lump it in with the Bee Gee's disco work, but this song is as good as anything they had ever done, IMO.A few of mine that just missed (or maybe I just missed them on the list):

Get Down, Make Love - Queen
Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) - Styx
