THIS IS THEIR BEST SONG! - Music Draft - Saturday Night's Alright for iFighting (1 Viewer)

[rockaction]

Killers featured in SNL’s viral “Man Park” skit was amusing and perfect. 

 

[rockaction]

SNL was amusing for the first time in twenty years. Rise and grind! 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Can you please post all of their chart positions so we know whether or not they were popular? And, then, just keep posting them over and over?

we need Faust from the SP in here.  

 

[Captain Cranks]

Yeah!

Yeah!

 

[krista4]

Gotta say that making one of the nicest people I know here and IRL that mad takes a special kind of talent.  :(  

 

[squistion]

Oh, what the hell.......

Shut the #### up.

I thought it was cool that we got new blood in this draft and some folks I really respect backed you. You absolutely suck and have drained pretty much every ounce of fun from this this thread. You are a pedantic blowhard and I hope never to run across your miserable ### again.

Just in case none of the above is clear - #### you.

I guess this means you have changed your mind about having me over for Thanksgiving.

You more or less called me out, so you shouldn't have been surprised that I responded (and then had a hissy fit over it too). As Harry Truman said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." 

 

[rockaction]

Tee hee

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Oops

 

[El Floppo]

If I lie and say X is their best song because it fits my playlist and takes an unchosen giant off the board, is that cheating? Violating the concept or something?

or something.

 

[landrys hat]

So, Bill Withers was a nice pick.  I like Grandma's Hands

 

[rockaction]

Oh who am I kidding? Do I even know how to do sex anymore at my age?

 

[rockaction]

Withers is awesome. Gave his live album a try per Uruk, and it was a great listen. 

 

[Chaos Commish]

or something.

i don't know how that applies, but it convinced me to stick to the original plan. so no cheating, but I'll link to the song that fit my playlist when someone finally takes Xxx Xxxxxx.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Oh who am I kidding? Do I even know how to do sex anymore at my age?

It's like riding a bicycle.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Then I came in here and saw we were still talking about The Smiths.

... and heaven knows you're miserable now. 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Usually if I can’t stand the head, I politely ask her to stop. 

it's a "teeth thing"

 

[El Floppo]

Oh who am I kidding? Do I even know how to do sex anymore at my age?

 

[krista4]

It's like riding a bicycle.

I never learned to ride a bike.  Actually actually true.

 

[Chaos Commish]

the purpose of my playlist is to help some of you boomers out with this issue. it's current tentative title is chaos trip gaze and chill. but if it goes as planned, i might dub it the blue pill playlist.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Yes played arenas in the early 70s when that was kind of the pinnacle for Rock venues.  Stadium shows were still very rare and the devil hadn't created sheds yet.

In 1972-ish, Yes sold out Madison Square Garden with zero advertising. Back then, you had to go to the venue box office to buy tickets. Their show was listed at the box office, but not promoted in any other way (radio, newspapers, fliers, etc). People noticed it was on the list, bought tickets, notified their friends, and soon enough, it was sold out. That's how big they were in their heyday.

It's a lot like doing sex - or something like that.

I didn't "more or less" call you out. I absolutely did, and with malice aforethought. There's no misunderstanding here that I will claim. 

Are we clear?

 

[El Floppo]

lol. 

alfafa oh rasputin... spotify is weird.

I'm loving that it just threw this Bob Destiny tune into my Discover Weekly playlist. Honestly- never heard of the guy and no idea why that would get triggered for me... but I love it.

 

[El Floppo]

no wonder. 

 

[Yo Mama]

Running between meetings so no writeup

5.02 - Green Day - Longview

Almost went with She or Jesus of Suburbia here, but Longview will always best represent the band to me. 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

it's a "teeth thing"

This may be the last post I'm able to respond to and - I'm sorry, as I try hard to be culturally correct - but this made me laugh.

 

[Yo Mama]

Let’s avoid the bookings beloveds.

does anybody have your info for future picks?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

does anybody have your info for future picks?

Good to see priorities are in order here

Yes, sir. Thanks for thinking of the greater good.

 

[squistion]

Oh, OK.

Actually, I also thought you may have been trying to be funny and I was responding in kind (hence the  emoji) but it appears you that have no sense of humor.

 

[El Floppo]

Bob Destiny 

I've been listening to this on repeat.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

####in' eh broham

They definitely took it to the bank.

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 4

A Song For You - Leon Russell

Leon was a session man on a few Stones recordings and while the song "Shine A Light" is credited to Jagger/Richards the song was mostly a Jagger/Leon Russell composition.

@landrys hat

 

[krista4]

It says NV asked for a 30 minute clock.

Correct, and you also asked to be taken off skip after all.

@Northern Voice up for 30 minutes

@Chaos Commish on deck

@Dr. Octopus in the hole

 

[Yo Mama]

Digging my top five so fat:

Pink Floyd - Dogs

Talking Heads - Girlfriend is Better

Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy

Yes - Long Distance Runaround

Green Day - Longview

 

[krista4]

Round 4

A Song For You - Leon Russell

Leon was a session man on a few Stones recordings and while the song "Shine A Light" is credited to Jagger/Richards the song was mostly a Jagger/Leon Russell composition.

@landrys hat

OK, we'll assume NV and Chaos weren't taking Leon Russell (I don't see any way they were!).  But please @landrys hat, don't pick until NV has his 30 minutes and Chaos gets his chance.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Correct, and you also asked to be taken off skip after all.

@Northern Voice up for 30 minutes

@Chaos Commish on deck

@Dr. Octopus in the hole

[Dr. Octopus]

Correct, and you also asked to be taken off skip after all.

@Northern Voice up for 30 minutes

@Chaos Commish on deck

@Dr. Octopus in the hole

Sorry but I jumped the gun when Binky said I was up. I don't think I sniped either at least.

 

[Eephus]

Digging my top five so fat:

Pink Floyd - Dogs

Talking Heads - Girlfriend is Better

Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy

Yes - Long Distance Runaround

Green Day - Longview

Two songs with long in the title and one song that's very long

 

[Juxtatarot]

 As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?

(For the record, I’m using the Elvis Costello version, who has already been chosen.)

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 5: 

Daryl Hall and John Oates -- She's Gone

There are a lot of great H&O songs, especially pre-1984, and it's a cliche to pick the one that was on the RS 500 list, but I can't justify anything else above it. Full writeup later.
