Where in the world are the middle-aged dummies? Worldwide top 31 song countdown. (3 Viewers)

[Hawks64]

I didn't see if there was a decision on if we are getting the songs today, but I just had the random thought that mine has some religious and resurrection themes going on and it would be fitting if it was on Easter.

According to the artist(s) that wrote my song today, it was influenced by gospel, and there is a sentence in the chorus that is taken from the Bible.

My songs mentions jokers and thieves - make whatever connection to the Catholic Church that you will.

that's much more Jehovah Witness - hell, "Watchtower" is the name of their "bulletin leaflets"

A moderator deleted my post in the past when I said Jehovah Witnesses worship the doorbell.

That is hilarious!!

Does booze increase or decrease the chances of wanting a playlist to rock out to?

[Mt. Man]

“Fade to Black” was really Metallica’s first ballad. Here meaning slow(er), rather than romantic, given the song’s major theme. This one hit deep in both the music and the lyrics in my high school years. There's been a long of growing up (or pretending to) since then, but there's always a little bit of that spark that's carried over since I was a teenager, no matter how much I've changed.

In other news, I decided that this was another random 5x5 day. 5 songs in each from Favorites and Didn’t Know. Maybe I’ll try to keep this up ‘til the finish. But no promises! The “Dig the Vibe” choice was quite hard today too.

#12s
Recognized by title alone: 20
Sounded familiar: 4
Knew from this countdown: 3
Didn't know: 15

Selected Favorites:
Carefree Highway (Andy Dufrense)
Crazy (Sullie) - It took a while to recognize, but yeah, I have a deep memory of this song.
Starseed (MAC_32)
Lucky Ones (simsarge)
Sheena Is a Punk Rocker (westerberg) - Would’ve been my Ramones pick

Some songs I didn't know that I ended up liking:
Killing the Blues (Dr. Octopus)
In Your Bright Ray (The Dreaded Marco)
Propane Nightmares (titusbramble) - Catchy song, and is that the theme to Inspector Gadget mixed in?
The Dawn (landryshat)
Shoot High, Aim Low (higgins)

Dig the Vibe: Senegal Fast Food (Ilov80s)

It certainly does but my personal playlists are DMB Radio on Sirius or one of the multitude of live shows I have, I'm pretty single-minded lol

Pip’s Invitation:

Coyote - Joni Mitchell (Canada)
(new song)

The link is to the Last Waltz version, which is on Spotify and is where I first came across the song. My father and stepmother had the Last Waltz set on LP and we would watch it whenever it came on during a PBS pledge drive. This was my first exposure to Joni as something other than the folkie of "Both Sides Now" and such.

As lovely as that version is, it's on my list for the studio version, which is one of her best collaborations with Jaco Pastorius and of course is not on Spotify. It's as if she's singing a duet with Jaco's bass. I also love the imagery, which was inspired partly by a road trip she took and partly by her affair with Sam Shepard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4KBohkaHDE

Happy Easter y'all!

sous vide'in some ribeyes and made our favorite pasta salad (smoked gouda, marinated artichoke hearts, blackened red bell pepper, pine nuts and baby spinach with Greek dressing) and waitin' for the Masters baby!!

known to me favs from today (previously not commented on)

Changes - Yes	Just Win Baby	more of the later version of Yes - it's not the Yes I would order up, but it's still damn good …I'm in!
Burning of the Midnight Lamp - The Jimi Hendrix Experience	DrIanMalcolm	great lesser known pick!
Everything's Coming Our Way - Santana	Doctor Octopus	wow - I had completely forgotten about this song - brings back jr. high and hammering some Stroh's quarts
Blinded By The Light - Manfred Mann	shuke	hey, who doesn't like this song? I mean come on - better than the Bruce version and it's got "doosh" in it
Somebody To Love - Queen	Mrs. Rannous	one of many Queen classics
TNT - AC/DC	Raging Weasel	another one of those headbangers that still manage to pull me in
Slippery People - Talking Heads	simey	that driving beat in so many of their songs just grabs you immediately
Israelites - Desmond Dekker	rockaction	whoa - memories of mini-golf $1 Day and this playing through the big speaker in the middle of the course
Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen	jwb	another Queen classic - really like them, just didn't have any of their stuff that made my top 31
Sychronicity - The Police	Doug B	oof - I love my Police pick - but had forgotten about this tune …coulda been a better pick for me
No One Like You - Scorpions	higgins	hmm …another headbanger song I like …am I a headbanger guy? No, can't be.

known to me favs (previously commented on)

Overkill - Colin Hat	Andy D
Low Rider - War	Val Rannous
Hey Hey, My My - Neil Young	Zegras11

new to me favs from today

Weather With You - Crowded House	scorchy	just a nice pleasant tune - fits in mellow playlist really well
One With The Freaks - The Notwist	The Dreaded Marco	is this what's called "shoe gaze"? I closed my eyes and pictured knit beanie hats and black low-top Converses
Dove - Cymande	landry's hat	this is not something that I'm normally drawn to - but fits perfect with little mellow vibe on my "new" list

 

[titusbramble]

Scanning through the last few pages. Never occurred to me that Hot Hot Heat were eligible, probably wouldn't have picked them anyway but they had two or three great songs around the time they released Bandages, not quite sure why I didn't pick up the album at the time as it didn't take much for me to say "buy this album" around then. Oh to be pretending to study things with beer at less than two quid a pint again

Just realized this morning that I’ve had landrys hat’s name as one word instead of two throughout the countdown, so we’re probably going to have to start over anyway.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Play the Game -- Queen (Doc Oc). Apparently this was released as a single but I don't recognize it. Definitely a Beatles-via-ELO vibe going on here.

It's the first track on their album The Game.

I knew that. Not an album I’ve listened to.

Except for the first song, now.

And now "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"- last song side one. Might even see a couple more of those songs. It's a very good album.

And there's the song I totally whiffed on. Thanks for picking it. I feel like a doofus.

Welcome to my world. It mek two of us.

Seriously, "Isrealites" the day on the same Easter Sunday as "Guns of Navarone." Great minds and all. Two ska specials for you all. Toast!

On that note, happy Easter if you worship; happy Sunday if you just want that light ska feeling in the sun today. (It's beautiful here. 78 and sunny. Makes me think of the ska, you heard?)

It appears that @KarmaPolice was coming to us from the future yesterday with one of his posts.

In addition, we'll have an Ace Award guess taken tomorrow, but...it will simultaneously be knocked out of the competition when the artist also has a second song selected.

I like the Queen selections today. Stone Cold Crazy Little Thing Called Somebody To Love.

 

[Mt. Man]

“Do You Love Me?” Well, I’m probably asking the wrong people here. Anyway, my introduction to Nick Cave was from a mixed CD a co-worker had in the mid 90s. From there a few stuck with me, naturally including this one. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if another song on Let Love In gets a little more…well, love.

[Mt. Man]

Top 10: 5 have been taken, by at least one person.
From the other 5, at least 4 artists have strong showings so far. Only krista knows if they all finish Top 10, but plausibly? 2 have one song getting the lion's share of votes, the other two are more scattershot. The other artist is one that I'm sure we'll see pop up frequently towards the top -- just for a different song than I picked.

6-The Ecstasy Of Gold - Ennio Morricone
(new song)

Backdated look at the 18s

1- Already commented on this one. This may sound grumpy, but being defined by your place of birth is something that has always pissed me off. As someone who was born in one country and moved to another when I was 1 year of age, I hated being defined, all through school, by my birth country. I didnt identify with it, didnt know anything about it and it was a constant annoyance. So this whole draft is a constant reminder lol. Oh yeah, November Rain...great song. It rules.

2- Hadnt heard this one from the Weeknd. Might have to check out more. He is one very talented guy.

3- We havent seen Tuareg rock for a few rounds. As a regular reader of britains Q Music Magazine...i have every issue, they were quite supportive of Tinariwen. Featured several times, so when this draft came along I knew I had Mali covered. Mdou Moctar was a bonus add by an assist. Didnt realise that Farka, Ali Farka Toure was also part of the Tuareg rock seen.

4- This song would have been much higher, but i felt dirty using the foreign drummer exemption. Unlike Ultravoxs Mr X, the Strokes drummer just thumps the skins and doesnt contribute vocals. Thats left up to Julian and his dry delivery. Brilliant. Heres british comedian Nish Kumar on Drummers, but Coldplays drummer in particular - ColdPlays drummer https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gsmuV7wLCl8

5- Another great Abba song. Kinda pissed I couldnt find room for then, but Norway and Sweden are sort of locks for me elsewhere. Problem with Abba is the dozens of songs I would be choosing between. Not quite as many as Yello’s 40.

6- Another Morricone moment. Wonderful. I probably choose something off the Mission or one of his spaghetti western ones, not this one, but its an excellent choice.

Somebody's Out There - Triumph (Ohh Canada)
(new song)

As I mentioned in my Triumph dissertation a few pages back, Somebody's Out There was Triumph's highest-charting single in the US and the result of a push from their record company to expand their sound to be more pop-friendly. It was also their current single when I saw them in the fall of 1986. The setlist:

Tears in the Rain
Somebody's Out There
Allied Forces
Lay It on the Line
Midsummer's Daydream
Follow Your Heart/Drum Solo
Take a Stand
Magic Power
Rock and Roll Machine/Guitar Solo
Spellbound

Encore:
Rocky Mountain Way
Fight the Good Fight

[Pip's Invitation]

I knew 22 songs from today's playlist, not counting my own but including repeats.

Known-to-me favorites from #11, not including my own pick or Low Rider, which is known to be on my list:

Hey, Hey, My, My (Into the Black) -- Neil Young (Zegras11)
The Weight -- The Band (OH)
Burning of the Midnight Lamp -- The Jimi Hendrix Experience (DrIanMalcolm)
Handle With Care -- The Traveling Wilburys (Krista4)
Weather With You -- Crowded House (Scorchy). This is my #1 Crowded House, and it comes from what I think is their best album, Woodface. That disc benefits not only from the presence of Neil Finn's brother Tim (the record is a fusion of Crowded House and Finn Brothers albums begun as separate projects) but also superlative production and arrangements.
Slippery People -- Talking Heads (Simey). Another bumper from Speaking in Tongues.
Blinded by the Light -- Manfred Mann's Earth Band (Shuke). I can't stand Springsteen's version, but I love this.
Somebody's Out There -- Triumph (Simsarge)
Changes -- Yes (Just Win Baby). Arguably the best track of the Trevor Rabin era of Yes.
T.N.T. -- AC/DC (Raging Weasel)
Crazy Little Thing Called Love -- Queen (jwb). Ready Freddy?
Israelites -- Desmond Dekker (Rockaction)
Kind Woman -- Buffalo Springfield (Zamboni)
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) -- Arcade Fire (Ilov80s)
