The Return of the Desert Island Jukebox Draft - Drop in a quarter (1 Viewer)

If you could read my mind Eeph
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a draft that I didn't plan well
NV was parked, in a fortress strong
With chains upon his feet
You know that ghost is me
And now you know I was set free
This Lightfoot song, I wish belonged to me
In a hospital suite in Detroit they all meet
Called the Gastro-Enterology Clinic
The proctologist chimes let’s get started on time
Because lads this won’t be any picnic
The gurney they found took all six hundred pounds
That’s what Mr. Fitzgerald weighed empty
Then later that night the endoscope went out of sight
In the rectum of Edmund Fitzgerald


 
I know I had a couple more good ones for 1971, but I have no idea what they are now. My list is stupidly on my work laptop, and I don’t want to go anywhere near it since I’m off this week. 

 
I thought it sent me wild, but then realized I only had two songs written down for this year, one of which I already took and one of which someone else did.  Hmph.
Hmph. That sucks. I think mine just freed up a bizarre love triangle of years, provided I make the next two picks in proper order. The seventies wound up being probably the most heavily sampled decade, with Stax and some other soul labels taking the lead here. Not a ton of Motown, who I think guards their rights zealously. 
Hold the presses!!!

I could have sworn someone drafted the other one I had down, but a search of the spreadsheet and the thread indicates I was wrong.  Must have mixed it up with some other hippie bull####.  Now please no one take it before I do tomorrow!  :cry:

I don't mess with the dice

The hand of fate is on me now
It pick me up and knock me down
I'm on the run, I'm prison bound
The hand of fate is heavy now
I killed a man, I'm highway bound
The wheel of fortune keeps turning round
Turning round, turning round
I should have known it was a one horse town
There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten
But the strangest of them all
Was a friend of mine who would spend his time
Staring at the wall
Staring at the wall


In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote
Proving crime don't pay
Was the very same gal he robbed and stole for
Naming her wedding day
Naming her wedding day


As he looked at the wall
So strong and tall
I could hear him softly curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first
I'm gonna be the first

Yep. Love me some hippie, Beatles-esque bull####.

Just can't get enough of it.

[Narrator: He's really lying. He never read your write-ups, either, krista4]

Hey -- can we really trust this narrator? Who is that?

[Narrator: Just your conscience]

Hey! Wait a second...my conscience

[Narrator: Is a flagellistic ####er?!]

Hey!

I recommend the KoolBus top 10, which goes from "drugs as spirituality" to a James Bond trailer, to a Tiny House documentary
If not for Mr. KoolBus, I would have never seen this clip of Keith Moon playing Pinball

 
The cutoff point for the last roll was 14.  1974 was the only year in the seventies to miss out.

The top 21st century year was 2007 with 11.

Just steer clear of the Surf playlist...

 
I was crying over you
I am smiling, I think of you
Where your gardens have no walls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell


Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me

Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me
Never knew you felt that way

 
34th Round   Ten Years After – I’d Love to Change the World (1971)

I was convinced someone had taken this, but realized that both of our one-hit-wonder drafters had instead specifically posted that they would not be taking it.  Then I was worried about Yo Mama, but he had a long list for this year.  Yay, me!

I swear I had never heard this song before shuke’s 1000+ songs thread.  :bag:    I’m going to take the neato spiffy b-side, Let the Sky Fall, too.

Alvin Lee collaborated frequently with George, including on Lee’s albums On the Road to Freedom, Zoom, and Nineteen Ninety-Four (including, most notably, “The Bluest Blues”), and Lee’s re-recording of George’s song, “So Sad.”

Nothing is more hippie than this:

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"


34.18 - Signs - Five Man Electrical Band (1971)

equally great but less well known b-side, "Absolutely Right"

 
Leaving a couple all-timers on the cutting room floor to take a personal favorite from one of my all-time favorite bands. Yo Mama selects:

34.ym - Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace (1971)

An anti-war song to the soldiers returning from Vietnam.   Blows past the 6 minute limit but I’m worth it. 
 

Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth,
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear.
