Two of my picks back to back.It's a little late, as I stuck to my other crap, but here was my extended morning mix. Some interesting transitions in this one...
EVERCLEAR - HEROIN GIRL I forgot how much some of their songs rock. Good tune.
DR. DRE - LET ME RIDE love it. However, I was a little surprised on my research how little the album as a whole held up. There were a few tracks in there I could do without

Sweet Jehosaphat...2 more picks?!Flopster owes 23.11 as well.
yesI'm having trouble with this site tonight. I keep getting frozen, and then it says bad gateway or something like that. I re-enter another way. It says they will be doing maintenance on the site on May 31st for ten hours starting at 11 pm est. Anyone else having issues now?
...Roxette? More like early 1990s, but immediate guess.Anyone care to help me out?
Male/Female duo, Scandanavianish, Buddy Holly power chord type stuff, mid to late 1990s. Feel free to draft it yourself, I just want to get them on my playlists.
Maybe one per day now? At this stage of the draft, if I get sniped it means I'll have a new friend.plentyyeesh - is everybody on skip?

Btw, meant the bold seriously. wikkid, I'm hoping you might find something to like in these.24.16 - The Verve - Urban Hymns (1997)
I suspect this pick won't be lauded by the cool kids, but I'm still mining my late-90s The Chicago Era. The first Mr. krista - whose music and voice were often compared to Jeff Buckley, I'll have you know - composed music like this that was lush, exquisitely orchestrated, multi-layered. He loved this record, so we had it on repeat. We weren't into That Song Everyone Knows From An Ad, but instead played these two the most frequently. I hope that wikkid won't find them single-groove.

This keeps creeping up in my upper echelon of Spoon albums. I really like this one. Top-notch songwriting, IMHO.
This was the band I was talking about earlier who has giant guitars for a non metal/hardcore/hard rock band. They got less guitary after Isbell though I noticed after listening to them a lot this week.
I totally agree. I listened to some stuff today totally expecting to pick a different one of theirs and I think it’s like a top few Spoon album.This keeps creeping up in my upper echelon of Spoon albums. I really like this one. Top notch songwriting, IMHO.
They're awesome live.Tedeschi Trucks Band - Anyhow - I kinda naturally assumed I wouldn't like this, since I've never known too much about them other than "it's not my kinda music", but I actually really enjoy this. I always assumed it was more country/Americana, but it's a little bluesy, which I like. She's got a helluva powerful voice. I bet they put on a good live show. Will have to actually sit down and listen to their stuff, give it a shot.
Hot Thoughts is the same for me, actually. Like that thread I started a few months ago, Britt and the boys can bring a Three Axe Attack! like no other when the mood strikes them for their later material. The early stuff relies so heavily on minimalism that three axes overdo and muddle the message. The later stuff was meant for guitar ornamentation.I totally agree. I listened to some stuff today totally expecting to pick a different one of theirs and I think it’s like a top few Spoon album.
please refer to the spreadsheet for all your song pick questioning needsSweet Jehosaphat...2 more picks?!
Sad to say I know what you mean when I reallly don't have to.I'm settling in for nice long playlist shuffle right now.

I love this one too. Actually thought it went already. My favourite will always be the Girls Can Tell/Kill The Moonlight/Gimme Fiction/Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga run but love the love for new Spoon. And also that they're like the 4th most drafted band hereThis keeps creeping up in my upper echelon of Spoon albums. I really like this one. Top notch songwriting, IMHO.
I heard a critic once say the "very good but not great" Spoon. I couldn't help but think that was the biggest kick in the face to an otherwise great band from a dead era of pyrotechnic rock n' roll qua rock n' roll. But that was the cool part. Even people not disposed to be moved can say very good and call it for that. They're sort of undeniable in their relevance to the history of rock n' roll music scene.I love this one too.

You should feel very free to comment, even in the negative. That's Abrantes's pick, and he quoted it in the selection. It's freaking awesome. A billion Chapelle Show fans can't all be wrong.I'm almost afraid to comment on some of the hip hop stuff because I'm sure it's all classic stuff that I've just never ever heard before.
Case in point - Respiration by Black Star and Common is really ####### good IMO.

It's funny because I almost tagged you and Tasker in that post assuming it was one of you who picked it.You should feel very free to comment, even in the negative. That's Abrantes's pick, and he quoted it in the selection. It's freaking awesome. A billion Chapelle Show fans can't all be wrong.

Nice one. I was trying to post guessing Roxette (lotta the same letters), even though they're more very early '90s.Ravonettes
I don't want to go the racism route but I think classism plays a part.I will say that when art like this gets dismissed in one fell swoop, however, people suspect other things afoot besides mere critical judgment. Not even racism, the underlying cause many might be thinking as I type it. I think it's more misunderstanding, the inability to let a new form stand out and speak for itself.
