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

[zamboni]

Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind.

Was going to pick this in the next round or two.  I also like The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Canadian Railroad Trilogy, but I think this is probably his best song.  Carefree Highway is another good one.

Probably would have been my choice, if only just to say "Gitche Gumee".

 

[krista4]

He just responded. He can't see the thread, but can see the spreadsheet. If you're busy, I can take his pick when he decides. I'll be around for a bit.

I'm around now, no problem.

 

[krista4]

With @simsarge and @KarmaPolice on auto-skip, @Uruk-Haiis up (usually an auto-skip but I think you're here).

 

[krista4]

Down in the Valley - The Head and The Heart

I'll have to check this out.  This is a band that I always like when I hear them, but I've never gone any further to listen independently.

 

[krista4]

I'm addicted to this draft but have a million things to do preparing for my trip. Really really enjoyed this morning pick run. Well, not sure WAT da heck Floppo took but... haha... he do that to me all the time. 

Anyway, I must pull myself away so skip me if it moves that fast.

Does one-pick-per-day start on Wednesday or on Thursday?

 

[Mister CIA]

12.08 - Day After Day, Badfinger

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Squisition sniped the pick I had cued up

12.19 Chic - "Everybody Dance"

This is probably the most conventionally "disco" hit they had but, even then, it's still stripped-down like all of their stuff. The bass and piano parts are straight outta Detroit and Memphis, respectively.

I've ranted too often about how underrated this band was, so I'll lay off here.

I can confirm this is true!  I was when that came up.

Felt pretty sure that this band might fall soon to any of many participants.  

Where is @John Bender @Reginald Cornsilks

12.16 - Crowded House - Fall At Your Feet (1996)  Live at Sydney Opera House

https://youtu.be/zZdcz1ALuBo 

While Don't Dream It's Over always seems to be the choice for their best song, I prefer this stunning, overlooked, and vastly underrated song. Honorable mention to runner ups: World Where You Live, It's Only Natural, and Into Temptation.

Damn, sniped. This is the band I have seen the most in concert. Neil Finn steps out of his brother's shadow from their time together in xxxxx xxx and he knocks it out of the park. Of course Tim would later join him in Crowded House. 

Neil Finn is a lyrical master and combines sweet, light melodies with dark, bitter lyrics at times. Mean To Me, Fall At Your Feet, There Goes God are all brilliant. Hard to pick just one, my fave today is:

Love This Life.

[squistion]

I can confirm this is true!  I was when that came up.

Told you that sniping like this would happen if we let new people in the draft...Oh, wait...

 

[northern exposure]

12.08 - Day After Day, Badfinger

Sniped again. But, my pick was Baby Blue.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Does one-pick-per-day start on Wednesday or on Thursday?

Thursday.

Resume clock Monday morning. I hope this was the right idea. I know it is for me. I just won't be online much. With all the family, sports, food, other holiday fun, traveling for some of us, time off work, etc., seems many should be in the same boat. 

 

[Steve Tasker]

12.20 - Kylie Minogue - "Can't Get You Out of My Head"

This song is 20 years old, and definitely feels like it.  But that doesn't mean it's not great.  Enjoying this brief nu-disco run in my mid-draft.

 

[zamboni]

12.08 - Day After Day, Badfinger

Sniped again. But, my pick was Baby Blue.

[Chaos Commish]

also, he may have posted it in squis thread before joe brought us back to live, but Pip is on skip until dec 6 or so. disney vacation.

 

[krista4]

Binky said we could skip him for now.  He'll send the pick later.  @rockactionOTC

 

[Chaos Commish]

My first project today:

Go to the Wild Horse and Burro rescue and fill a couple containers with 60/70 pounds of 20 year old solarized and dehydrated wild horse and donkey poop. It's a Christmas present for my BiL. Seriously.  

Cow manure is out of season at Lake Tahoe. He asked me to bring him a couple bags for his compost pile. Imma get him the good stuff. 

 

[krista4]

For Binky:

12.21  The Hollies - Look Through Any Window

 

[simsarge]

Different Drum-The Stone Poneys. This is a pretty unpolished version recorded at the Troubadour in Hollywood before she became a thing. You can see (maybe after the fact as in "Ahh NOW I can see a diamond in the rough"). 

The album version is much better (but not as cool). 

If I were to rank my best female singers by their voice, I would have to say Ann Wilson #1 by a mile. Then Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter 2a and 2b.

 

[krista4]

Lose Again - Linda Ronstadt

If I were to rank my best female singers by their voice, I would have to say Ann Wilson #1 by a mile. Then Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter 2a and 2b.

She was taken a while back.  

ETA:  Pick 3.27, "You're No Good."

 

[Mister CIA]

Sniped again. But, my pick was Baby Blue.

I'll Be The One was my backup pick.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Speaking of blues…. I can’t see the sheet at the moment, so please forgive if he was already taken.  
 

Robert Johnson - Hellhound On My Trail

@tuffnutti think?

Another strike to my theme.

 

[Mister CIA]

Lose Again - Linda Ronstadt

If I were to rank my best female singers by their voice, I would have to say Ann Wilson #1 by a mile. Then Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter 2a and 2b.

Linda Ronstadt has already been drafted.

 

[zamboni]

For Binky:

12.21  The Hollies - Look Through Any Window

One of my snipes - I was going to take "Bus Stop".

 

[krista4]

Thanks - I had missed this and wondered where he went.

I can't believe we have the exact same Tuesday plans!

He's gonna say it again...

Have you said what your theme is?  I just looked at your list and am not sure.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I said after I drafted the Stones in Round 1, I would build my mix around them (Stones-centric) so their influences, bands influenced by them, collaborators, etc.

I’ve stated the connections for most of the picks.

I would have gone with Love in Vain with Robert Johnson, which they would eventually cover.

 

[simsarge]

Linda Ronstadt has already been drafted.

Fixed. I looked and missed it.

Who let the new guy in with all of his snipes? In my opinion this draft is #nofun.

Oh yeah, I remember all that.  Sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night.

Lots of great choices in The Hollies catalogue, I still like this one:

Also a good tune. I prefer the Graham Nash version of the band, but Allen Clarke sure sounds a lot like Graham here.

rock has timed out and can select at any time.  @EephusOTC

 

[krista4]

@shuke may also select at his leisure.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I think the best part of this thread is the fact that after a pick you can actually mention other songs by that artist without being called out for spotlighting.

Should do one of these as an Auction Draft instead of a Snake.

It'd take about a year to make though

Ooooo, that sounds evil.

I love it.

 

[TripItUp]

As if I would let Ronstadt slide to round 12.  

Maybe some of these other yahoos still living in 1996 would.

Hmm. I think this is the first time I can ever recall hearing that #### is out of season.

Looks at shortlist

Not really, though I don't think too many of these people wrote these songs.

Go to the right forum here and it's never out of season.

You mean to tell me that every time I drove by the Palamino Valley wild horse/burro rescue on my to fish Pyramid Lake, I coulda stopped in for free horse ####?  Dang!

Now, giving horse #### as a Christmas gift?  And the person wants it?......I'm jealous.....I want that story to tell.....haha
