That was a tough record with Fred's death. I spun it quite a lot in disbelief and sadness.

It sure was, hence one of my song picks. But it's just gorgeous. Not many bands last long enough to reach this stage of a career.

Well if this doesn't get me rescued I don't know what will
2.10 The Beatles - Help!
I guess You've Got To Hide Your Love Away and Ticket To Ride
HAVE to have John, since he's my rock n roll spirit animal, and hoped for that to be as part of a Beatles piece, so let's just do this and regroup later

FWIW, I've Just Seen a Face has already been added to our Spotify list, so I think you could pick a different song...?

I was hoping that was my next pick. Great record.
What's Going on Should have been long gone too imo. Strange draft.

Beautiful, and perfect song choices. "Right On" is super underrated, to the extent that anything from this album can be. Picked it in a mixtape draft or something like that ages ago, I think.

Just was able to get what these guys were doing with slowcore in '89 (I'm not sure they qualify, but I'm doing it anyway) about five years ago. Cheaply priced records will do that. Now I love it.
Always loved the cover of one of their songs by a band that shall both go nameless.
Listening to a very good band that's very influenced by them right now, actually. Great stuff.

This is my first pick and I was waiting for it. Beautiful album. Not bad for a second-round pick, either.One question: L.A. Mix or Detroit Mix?
Just kidding and showin' out. Love this album so, so much. Album of my forties. Just like Pet Sounds was the album of my twenties.

Well ####, I guess I'll just have to hum the Beatles to myself now on my island. Thanks.

Lol. Great pick, Zilla. Funnier deadpan. Couldn't use the laugh emoji for the sentiment overall, but this cracked me up.

What a ####### preposterous exercise this is. 
The time between picks means I can afford to re-listen to several of my shortlist candidates, and with every one I go "yep, this is my next pick", "no, THIS is the pick" etc. Changed my mind on my second pick like half a dozen times already. Gonna come down to whoever has the ball last, apparently.

always figured them to be right up your alley ... these guys tossed so much influence ... one of those bands that other bands love and swear by.

Yeah, funny you should comment. I just changed the record and put this on. Really just needed to grow a little in terms of taste and the speed of music, really. I was never a mid-tempo guy, so it opens up a lot of new bands to listen to. It doesn't really make sense, this aversion to slower-paced bands, but when you grew up on and loved the hyperspeed of punk for the sheer BPM fury of it, you grow with music a little differently, I guess. So Psychocandy? Great stuff.

I skipped my favorite band in the first round since there were a lot of their albums that I'd be happy with on my island. I just didn't expect this to be the one I'd get in mid-second round:
2.12 - The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
After my spiel about what a "complete" album Innervisions is, it's fitting that I would pick up this, the most album-y album of the Beatles ouevre. In addition to its being a complete, self-contained work, what I like most about having this on my desert island is how diverse it is. Outside of the usual, I get a George Indian-influenced song, the best song with Ringo on lead, and what's simply the best song the lads ever recorded. I wanted Rubber Soul in this draft, but once it was gone (yeah, it was the "wrong" version but I"m not going to cheat by choosing the other one), I wasn't sure where I preferred to go. Happy to have this one on my island!
A Day in the Life (duh)
Good Morning Good Morning - I'm choosing this one because I think it's underappreciated, and it showcases Ringo. The time signatures and drum parts are just bonkers.
Mr. krista is sitting next to me, so I nudged him that he's up.

What I've found to be very interesting and unique to Overwatch is the sheer amount of information that you must process instantaneously. The sound cues, your cooldowns, enemy cooldowns, ult tracking, etc. It is possible to get pretty good at the game without elite mechanical skill if you're smart. I love playing Brig, and she takes about as little mechanical skill as possible. But she is totally useless if you're out of position, and if you miss that key CC ability in the fraction of the second that you need to land it, you've let your team down. All of the different micro-plays that make up a win or a loss. Coming from playing about a decade of Gears of War, I love the brawl cqc type heroes. Players with Counter-Strike backgrounds love playing the high skill ceiling aim heroes. It's literally a game where you can play any style of hero that you want, at least at lower ranks.
