Would probably be close to the same type of draft, I suppose. I'm up for anything though, time permitting.

I picked Leonard Nimoy's "Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins" in that draft and also "Sugar Shack". I don't think either would get chosen if we were picking by artist and had some kind of "floor" on who could be included. As much as I despise Jann Wenner, maybe use something like RRHOF members only.

In my case, I remember the best songs, but quite often forget the worst, probably listening to the track just once, maybe not even all the way through if it is awful.
An example would be a daily Twitter thread I follow where people post the song that is in their head right now, and someone posted No Time This Time by The Police from 2003 and I realized I didn't remember the song, which surprised me because I was a big early fan and had bought all their LPs. After listening I knew the reason why, it is terrible, as Sting is singing off key for much of the song.

I think for the Police, "Mother" would be a high draft pick.In my case, I remember the best songs, but quite often forget the worst, probably listening to the track just once, maybe not even all the way through if it is awful.

I don't remember that one either, but I won't check it out at the moment as I've already had my masochism quotient for the day with No Time This Time. by them.

It was a bit scary and not much really rattles me but I definitely got an adrenaline rush. I do love the kids, even the annoying ones. It's the adults of the world that I have much less patience for.

Legend has it Dylan wrote the songs for Under the Red Sky (1990) for his daughter who was four at the time. The songs on that album including "Wiggle Wiggle" are unusually simple for Dylan. "Handy Dandy" sounds like a demo for the Archies or the Partridge Family.

One of the songs off of the last The Muffs album, Holiday, sounded suspiciously like 1-877-Kars-4kids.
I was none too happy with that earworm.

Round 21 - Kanye West (first decade)
All Of The Lights
A definite and defiant booming anthem with Rihanna and company in tow providing the hook, All Of The Lights is the best song of his first decade of recording, despite its own hyper-compressed and digitized own recording (that's for Eephus).

Looks like no one is drafting anymore, so I'll go ahead and say the giant that hadn't been taken, which I PM'd to northern exposure, was Leonard Cohen. I mean, what the hell people? I would have taken "Suzanne," because I think the lyrics are as good as any ever written by anyone.

Footballguy
I knew he and Nick Drake were likely who you were talking about, but I was letting you pick his BEST, much like I was going to let people pick the Kinks until it got too much. I was going to pick "Suzanne" as early as the 4th, BTW. Not lying. Just figured I'd let an expert like you or simey (who wasn't drafting, but sent me a nice PM with a Leonard coffee mug for purchase so he was not off of our minds at all). There were just choices to be made, and...
he never wrote a song like Wille and The Hand Jive, though. LOL.

Kanye is such a giant. Oh my. Has there been a bigger artist this century, conceived and properly new in the first decade fo the century? I'm voting no.

Which reminds me that Nick Cave went undrafted too. I was surprised you did not take Willis Alan Ramsey as well.

I also almost picked a Cash/Cave cover, but I will not say I'm a big Cave fan, honestly. He seems to speak very eloquently about art and its creation, but I've just never been into his music.
Scrap that. It was a cover of a Cohen song, only it had been covered by Nick Cave. See? That's why I leave it to the experts in the singer/songwriter realm or orbit.

INDEED. I drafted it from this past decade, though. His first decade deserved a selection, too, as his best stuff came then.
It's really a light-hearted pick. Just cheerleading for one of my favorites.

He was one of the Top 5 people in my Spotify thing, and Famous Blue Raincoat was my Top Song. That song probably aided in the melancholy factor of my aura. I remember drafting it in the Folk Yeah category in Genrepalooza, and then I kept listening to it for a bit, cause drafting it reminded me of how much I liked the song, and how I've always thought it was mysterious. I guess I listened it to it more than I thought.

I'm really just keeping the thread going. My 20th or 21st pick was almost Leonard a night or two ago (again, no lie) when Krista mentioned it back then. Funny that the Kanye pick spurred the discussion of such.
Still none of those songs are quite Willie and The Hand Jive.
I think that's a joke only I'll appreciate, and I love the Hand Jive song.

You know who would up in one of the Top 5 people in my Spotify, thanks to you and k4? Nick Drake was right behind Daft Punk at number two. I should update why. I made it through Bryter Layter but not the Five Leaves Left album, honestly.

I did take Nick Drake and am surprised about Nick Cave, too. I didn't select Cohen or Ramsey because they didn't fit my Premature Tragic Death theme.

It is indeed a Cup Of Mercy. I was tempted to order it, but I have a few mugs and I can see the look on people's faces. Another music mug?

Nick Drake would be more k4 influenced than me. I like him, but not like she does. Now if you had said Jimmy Buffett...

Rd 21 It’s All Over Now Baby Blue by Them
This was a cheat song I had considered. I always take Van and Dylan so this sort of hits both those spots and it’s such a lovely song.

18- The Districts- If Before I wake
It's a fun band part of that post-punk/power-pop renaissance a couple years ago, with a bunch of good songs... but this is their great song, IMO.

***Official*** Round Twenty-One Draft Picks Commencement
You can go ahead and announce it but your selection and any other 21st+ round picks will not be reflected in the draft spread sheet (which is for the best because in the late rounds, some people (cough, cough) were choosing one-hit wonders, which does qualify as a best song of an artist, but doesn't mean much when no one has heard anything else that they did).
