THIS IS THEIR BEST SONG! - Music Draft - Saturday Night's Alright for iFighting (5 Viewers)

[Pip's Invitation]

Indeed. It's off of an EP, actually, not the album pictured. Great stuff. That you recognized it from a hint is impressive.

I know, I have said EP and said album. That's why I made my guess, because I don't know of any other covers. 

 

[Mister CIA]

I may be violating the duet rules with this one. She wrote the song and he's an actor so I'm giving it a shot.

3.31 Shallow, Lady Gaga

This song highlights the power of her vocals as good as any.  If 2:28 doesn't give you goosebumps, someone needs to check your pulse.  Personal anecdote, this is me and Mrs. Cranks' song.  

If this was an illegal pick, I'll stick with my favorite dance track oh hers, Telephone.  

I think your okay here.  It's getting the second bite at the apple via duets that does not fly.

:could be wrong:

 

[Captain Cranks]

4.01 Aqualung, Jethro Tull

This isn't my favorite Tull song (Hymn 43), but it's tough to argue it's not their best.  Ironically, it doesn't have any of Anderson's signature flute.  

It's a crime against humanity that they were never inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.  

 

[squistion]

it's not 2008 man

With you it is. Seems like you have been ridiculing me for that long. Isn't your avatar a pigeon?

@Northern Voice makes the call.

@Doug B you still want to pass?  You are up for 2 picks!

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I'll make a deal with you.  

You lightened up significantly in this draft and going forward  -  and I'll change my avatar.  

 

[Ilov80s]

@Northern Voice makes the call.

Seems like it should be ok. It just counts as Gaga. Nobody is drafting a Bradley Cooper song anyway.

 

[krista4]

I'll make a deal with you.

Could you please change anyway, just as a gesture of good faith and kindness?

Heavy metal bands don't get enough love from the RnR HoF. More any other band, they make me wish I were English (after Welsh and French possibilities are exhausted).

Had several songs on my list.

Living in the Past

Dr. Bogenbroom

Look into the Sun

Objectively:  Locomotive Breath gives Aqualung a run for its money.

 

[krista4]

Eephus drafted a Bruce Willis song before, so...

just unbelievable live.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

sure.  

going to believe squizz begins to act with the same good faith and be open to the kidding that we all do here.  

 

[Ilov80s]

Eephus drafted a Bruce Willis song before, so...

I think it was in the Rock and Roll HoF playlist too. It puzzled me every time I saw it on there. 

 

[rockaction]

I know, I have said EP and said album. That's why I made my guess, because I don't know of any other covers. 

Both are great. I'm glad they did that cover. Thin Lizzy wouldn't have necessarily been in my orbit at the time.

 

[rockaction]

sure.  

going to believe squizz begins to act with the same good faith and be open to the kidding that we all do here.  

That's big of you, Binky. Mad respect.

 

[krista4]

sure.

Love you mostest.

Now I can't wait to see the new avatar!

Recommendation

 

[Chaos Commish]

Eephus drafted a Bruce Willis song before, so...

Bradley Cooper is not in the HoF. 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Recommendation

omg ...that's so good ...saving the image.

 

[Eephus]

 I tried to rickroll Eephus last night. Never heard how that went.

I saw Rick roll come up in the header so I closed the tab. 

 

[Mister CIA]

omg ...that's so good ...saving the image.

That image is from our favorite band.

 

[krista4]

Bradley Cooper is not in the HoF. 

He's in the HoF...of my heart.

:groan:

I don't disagree with that or any of the other choices listed as far as their best song is concerned, at least from a technical standpoint.

However, my pick would have been what I consider their most straight ahead and danceable RnR song (and seriously how many Tull songs can you dance to?). Should have been released as a single IMO.

Jethro Tull - Cross Eyed Mary (1977) Live @ Capital Center.

[Binky The Doormat]

the pick, Locomotive Breath, and Cross Eyed Mary are my top 3

 

[Mister CIA]

Raises hand

 

[Eephus]

I think it was in the Rock and Roll HoF playlist too. It puzzled me every time I saw it on there. 

Bruno Willis was my editorial comment on the RRHOF. I'm sure I'd enjoy myself if I went to the museum but the rest of the concept seems forced.

Plus all three songwriters of the song are in the hall.

CEM is actually #2 behind Hymn 43 for me.  Then Aqualung.  

 

[Eephus]

The shorter ones are my favorites

 

[Binky The Doormat]

@Doug B asked to be skipped earlier ...so it looks like @Ilov80s is up!

Doug B can have 2 anytime he wants.

Smile your little smile --- take some tea with me awhile.
And every day we'll turn another page.
Behind our glass we'll sit and look
At our ever-open book ---
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.

Does the mouse hold any significance in the lyrics or is it just there to rhyme with page?

also excellent.

I told a long story a couple of years ago about almost getting stampeded and seriously injured at a Jethro Tull concert at Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio.  This was when they still had open seating.  

After surviving and getting basically front row "seats" (most all the chairs got collapsed) - they open with Locomotive Breath - I can still feel it.

too proggy eh?

 

[Ilov80s]

Yeah I ended up getting the HOF connection, was just a surprise each time. I agree on the Hall itself. Kind of silly.

 

[Mister CIA]

My notes are spotty, but no prog rock bands have been drafted yet, yes?

 

[Chaos Commish]

 Just my kind of "fresh underappreciated" Tull. Acoustic and reminds me of a medieval festival. Believe that line works nicely as our protaganist is cowardly trapped in a bad relationship. Mouse in a cage. Get it?

an incredible and intense vocal performance backed up by a world class band in her first album post Big Brother

:scratchesofflist:  :(   Nice pick.

I thought she'd last a lot longer.

 

[Eephus]

Since higgins' Rush pick never happened, Floyd and Tull are the Proggiest artists so far.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

@dickey moe is up!

 

[krista4]

@dickey moe UP

 

[Ilov80s]

:scratchesofflist:  :(   Nice pick.

I thought she'd last a lot longer.

She was the main reason I put on Monterey Pop last night. I gave everyone a little clue.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Sweet Jeebus, Binky - please change your avatar back.  

 

[Northern Voice]

Gaga pick is fine if we need an official ruling. 

(I mean it's like her 30th best song but the duet angle is okay)

 

[Chaos Commish]

I have listener fatigue and my tinnitus is at 11. The music masks it but I've had enough. Never know what to do when I get like this. The insomnia is the catalyst. Sorry if "get it" seemed snarky Eeph. I'm grumpy. 

 

[Eephus]

Does it have more performances or is just a remaster?

That's what I thought about the mouse symbolism. Thanks for clearing it up.

Didn't even notice the get it.
