Daft Punk was my artist of the year, if twenty years too late.

I mostly listen to records, so I only use Spotify for FFA drafts. My artist of the year was Missy Elliot.

I'm going to potentially ruffle some feathers and make a bonus pick. It shouldn't matter too much because I'm sure I won't be sniping anybody.
My pick is from a band that hails from the Canadian province where I was born and raised. The provincial population is around a million. So, when one of our own "makes it", it is a big deal. I haven't lived in the province for many years, but these guys are still one of my all time favorite bands. I remember seeing them as the opening act for artists with much bigger names. They always got a standing ovation at the end of their set.
The band is The Waltons and the song is "Colder Than You".

The album cover should be explained. The lead singer's niece drew a picture for her Uncle because he usually wore a hat that was the same color as her tractor. The picture she drew became the album cover.

yeah, it's similar to big ten inch. lyrics are all about it, but the mood is just kinda fun. i was seeking music and vocals that were sexy hot. lots of slow blues go there, but i wanted to avoid that too. this is rockabilly. loved listening though.Mrs. Rannous said:

youtube music and youtube itself ad free for 3 months. cyber week special ends on the 6th. this draft again affirmed it's significantly superior to spotty. give it a try. 3 months is 6 times better than the usual offer.

I am still unpacking how crazy my day was. First time I ever locked down my class with the real thought that my kids and I were in danger. A student shared with me that huge group chat reported someone pulled a gun in the building. We locked the room down and waited to hear. My kids handled it well but it was tough. My dude with autism was shaking but we were ready. I was 75% sure it was BS but it was the first time I "felt it". So much to unpack.

lol nah, Study Skills. I was with my IEP crew.
Oh I appreciate the jokes. I will laugh at almost anything.
Today was stress, but when it's a bunch of youths who all look up to you, you just take care of things. I learned that from moms.

The toughest part really is the odds. It's like a 0.001% chance anything is actually going to happen. I know that and have to let the kids know the chances of anything bad happening are equivalent to getting struck by lightning. However, I still have to respond appropriately when it looks like a bolt might be forming.

Yes. Too bad it doesn’t appear to be getting any traction — only 500 views on the video.

Social media outlets and the brush and wildfires they cause (I'm talking about the sm rumors there was a gun if I'm reading you correctly) were not made for children that young, especially those on IEP programs. It's hard enough for adults. I had trouble on a message board for about five years. Sorry for your scare. I hope tomorrow gets better.

20.24 - Joan Armatrading - Never Is Too Late
Another favorite artist who I've drafted multiple times. Never this song though which is one of my many favorites. My mix needed something with a Reggae groove.
Thanks to all who kept the line moving in this draft. I struggled with the "best" element more than I should have but that's just me. It was good for me to listen to predominantly women artists for the last month. When I look through my old "songs I liked during a given year" playlists, the ones from the early 2010s are almost exclusively male. That's changed a bit over the past decade because of changes in the industry and my tastes. I was kind of hoping Spotify Wrapped would give a percentage of female artists like it did in the past because I would have aced that this year.
I'll fire up the 2021 year-end song draft thread next week in @Northern Voice absence. That's always my favorite draft for discovery purposes. It usually attracts a different crowd so it shouldn't conflict with the Charity draft.

20th round - Snail Mail - "Pristine" (Live at Pitchfork Fest 2019)
I'll make my last pick. Maybe my most-anticipated new artist. Everything she touches turns to gold, in my book. This song's lyrics are just fantastic, turning from defiance to shrieking desperation in a story of playing hard-to-get with someone you love.
I'm happy to have this as my lone American artist here.

If I hadn't done the Partridge Family for my last pick I would have gone with X and the song that should have been their breakthrough hit, but was not, which mystified my friends and I, who thought this hometown L.A. band would finally make the big time.

I cant imagine how scary that would be. Sounds like you really care about your kids. I have nothing but love, and respect for our teachers and admin who really, truly are molding, shaping, and setting an example for our kids. Keep up the good work!

I actually love all the cheese. The makeup, the act, all of it. I just wish their music would have been better. It's very generic rock, really nothing that differentiates it.

Yeah, the trappings were much more interesting than the music. Black Diamond is the exception — it’s worthy of Sabbath.

That might be a good follow up draft twist, although I guess you really need to know the artist's material well to delve that deeply. Much easier to determine best than worst, I think.

I couldn't sleep a couple nights ago, and so I watched an episode of The Waltons on TV. Miss Mamie was going blind and was trying to hide it from everybody, but she started making mistakes and one of them was messing up the recipe.
She finally admits it, finds out she has cataracts, and eventually agrees to having surgery. Elizabeth also got her first kiss from a guy after the spring dance, and all was well on Waltons Mountain.

Yeah, there would be easy drive-bys for groups like Baha Men, but it would definitely be more daunting for the big artists.
For the aforementioned Dylan song, obviously there are going to be songs that just don't do it for you musically, but I'm just trying to wrap my head around a guy who won a Nobel prize for literature writing "wiggle wiggle wiggle like a ton of lead" and thinking it was good.

When I still had vinyl it used to kill me when they would put their worst song right in the middle of an album side. Got better with other media where you didn't have to get up to skip a song.

By the way, I think the lyrics in the first part of “True North” might be about Scott Hutchison.

I don't recall if you were in it or not, but many years ago we did a "Worst Songs Ever" draft that was one of the funniest threads I've seen here. It wasn't artist-based, though.
If we went by artist, I could throw a dart at Billy Joel's entire catalog and will have made the right choice.

I think I remember that one, but wasn't in it - probably on vacation or just tough time workwise.
Guess we've covered that ground then...

Not really, as I read what you're suggesting is that it "one worst per artist". I don't think the former draft I mentioned had a limit on how many songs from an artist could be chosen.
