I'd go with Don't like Mondays,Cars or What I Am. And these are all safe from me sniping.I have a favor to ask the group - I'd like some input on my "any year free pick" - below is my current list. Can we discuss this a bit?

I figured at this point taking any one of those on the list wouldn't hurtI'd go with Don't like Mondays,Cars or What I Am. And these are all safe from me sniping.
Personally, I’d go with Monday’s, then Cars. I had 99 Luftballoons on my list but decided to go another direction that year. Love that Free album (took it in the desert island draft), but Alright Now is a bit overplayed for me.I have a favor to ask the group - I'd like some input on my "any year free pick" - below is my current list.

(1968) Green Tamborine - The Lemon Pipers
...
I loved it too. I had not heard this remix, as I discovered the song via a slightly different version (spoilered, but I doubt it would be considered spotlighting):Whoa...now, that...THAT was cool. House isn't usually my thing, but - that was.I just realized going through the spreadsheet and adding songs to spotify I skipped my 33 round pick.
33.Clap your hands now
Gregory Porter - Liquid Spirit (Claptone Remix)
2013
Clubbing days were a thing of the past when this thing came out, but this is like an old 4/4 house tune with a deep soul voice. fits well with the rest of the jukebox.
Check out the ending of They Don't Know - Tracey Ullman.I Don't Like Mondays is my vote. Great tune.

I may hate everything about this band, but between me and this group (whispers) I love this song. I'll never admit it to any of my friends though.44th Round Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger (single release year 1996)
I've never really investigated the Oasis catalog for a variety of reasons, but this song hits it out of the park IMO. Huge, emotional vocal. "Imagine" riffs at the beginning. There's a lot of John Lennon in this song, and in this case I don't mind that.
There are two b-sides, of which I'll take one, Step Out.
The collaboration aspect here springs again from the Smokin' Mojo Filters supergroup, which included Noel Gallagher and Paul. In addition, Zak Starkey was the drummer for Oasis for 4-5 years in the mid-aughts. Finally and most importantly, Liam Gallagher's kid and Ringo's grandson were arrested together earlier this year and charged with "affray" after a ruckus at a supermarket. Now that's collaboration!
As an Irishman, i resent the Rats being considered a one-off in any fashion. It just aint so, even under Bink's new terms.

*rears up like grizzly* i will grab your tie and break your damn neck! *looks for something sweet to lick*44.03: Cars - Gary Numan (1979)
Thanks for the input everyone - Cars and Mondays were neck and neck and wikkid was the tie-breaker
...couldn't have "one-hit wonder" questions/issues with my wide open free pick
don't scare the bear*rears up like grizzly* i will grab your tie and break your damn neck! *looks for something sweet to lick*
I will for sure finish it before this the draft wraps up. Just got sucked into the movie draft and some other projects for school to prep for the online period we will be starting with.In searching for this song when I typed in 'presidents kick' google autofill's top choice was 'kicked out of office.' Water came out my nose on that one.
Round 45 The Presidents Of The United States of America - Kick Out The Mother ####### Jams (1995)
I had this in the 95 slot til the beginning of this week when I realized my juke's got enough Zep already in it. I decided a little MC5 will do it some good - and maybe a taste of Detroit flavor will get @Ilov80s to come out of hiding and finish what he started.
Because I had already taken 2011?HOW IS THIS STILL ON THE BOARD?
Round 45: Otis Redding -- Try a Little Tenderness
Year: 1966
Album: Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul
B-side: I'm Sick Y'all
I believe the Todd Terry remix version was the one that charted in the US.45.03: Missing - Everything But The Girl (1994)
There's another one still left on the board that is likely more known, but I really like this one a lot better ...don't recall ever hearing it even though it got to #2 and stayed there quite a while. Apparently these two are big in the UK.
I hate that my memory recalls your accuracy with this clarification.I believe the Todd Terry remix version was the one that charted in the US.
It's a great album.I hate that my memory recalls your accuracy with this clarification.
It was a big deal at the time and gave Terry a lot of mainstream notoriety.get a life man.
Not a Springsteen cover but Roy Bittan plays piano on it
You're not kidding, I've tried to shoe horn a couple of their songs in my mix, but I just can't do it...44.ee - Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America - The 1975 (2020)
The shape-shifting English band tries Bruce's suit on for size. Like a lot of modern hipsters, they've opted for the "I'm On Fire" sound.
The song is a postmodern take on Springsteen that substitutes irony for the Boss' earnestness. Phoebe Bridgers sings the third verse.
Work may not allow, but if I'm wrong I intend to take a deep dive into my remaining open years tomorrow and Friday. May stop listening to what you all post though. I have a road map laid out for the rest of my draft, but like a few of my recent picks I'm a bit under whelmed by it. I've been quiet about it because it's very obvious others are struggling to the finish a lot more than I am!We have five songs left to choose. I have two I want in open years, plus the free roll. I've been auditioning all kinds of songs for the other two spots, and nothing nothing is appealing to me. :(
I almost wrote “Bruce Springsteen”.Not a Springsteen cover but Roy Bittan plays piano on it
