Their fusion of 90s alternative with trip hop beats sounds a lot more like 21st century music than 20th.

Don't mind if I do.
It doesn't get much better for loud, momentous, catchy rock than Bob Mould. This is probably Husker Du's best song. And of course I'm taking the B-side because who else would even think to make the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme rock?
Round 13: Husker Du -- Makes No Sense at All
Year: 1985
Album: Flip Your Wig
B-side: Love Is All Around

Just wondering if you're still planning to mix in the 2020 mid-year song draft here? I hope not because that would be a cluster.
Either way, I'll keep following this one. Let me know when the 2020 draft starts up.

Yeah you're probably right. It was a fun idea at the time but with some new music people such as yourself out on this one, it'll be easier to have a separate thread.Missing this.... :(

I'm waiting for NV's parole hearing.

A couple of times I've thought, I should start looking for 1997 songs, and then I've thought, nah.

I associate 1997 with two things: An amazing year for Phish concerts, which isn't really germane here, and the rise of Limp Bizkit type stuff, which I don't care for. I actually have a pretty good idea where I'm going, I just haven't bothered to check and see if something else strikes my fancy more.

one hit wonders in the 90s is like getting repeatedly rabbit-punched in the nut sack ...brutal

Yeah 97 was a pretty massive year in hip hop. I think of 95-98 as hip hop riding a pretty good wave. At least that's when the mainstream was probably near its peak

Going back to the 80s for my next pick for a song that was somewhat of an anthem to the riots/unrest in the early 80s British inner cities. Plus it gives my playlist a change of pace to mix things up a bit. Yo Mama selects:
13.23 - The Specials - Ghost Town (1981)
There are 2 b-sides on the 7-inch vinyl single, and I’m going to choose Friday Night, Saturday Morning

I think I've said this before, but I ####### love your draft.
And completely unrelated to that, y'all have now made me feel sorry for 1997 such that I'll take a song from her in the morning (years are like mountains and boats, all "she"s, right?) if not sniped beforehand.

Thanks!
My theme doesn’t overlap too much with many others’ so I can just try to figure out which of the songs I want are at risk of getting taken by someone else (like for this one I wasn’t sure if The Specials would be considered a one hit wonder).

I might have gone with this:Binky The Doormat said:did you read the post?
I'm kind of stuck in some of these years with the tightness of the "one hit wonder" definition.
may have a couple more of these - you two make for a tough couple.
Round 13 - Mr. Big Stuff - Jean Knight - 1971
Her only other forays into the Billboard Top 100 reached 50 and 57.

OK, it's Tuesday morning and we can post Round 14 picks.
I could probably get this much later but this is one of the few years where I've made up my mind. This album is one of my favorites of all time and, while not much of a commercial success upon release, has developed an ardent cult following over the years (helped in part by A Perfect Circle covering one of its songs), to the point that the band, which broke up in 1997 and reunited in 2014, did a 20th anniversary tour for it, during which it was played in its entirety. There wasn't much like it at the time -- it's almost a grunge-prog fusion. This track was the one that grabbed me right away and is the most grungy on the record, owing a bit to Nirvana (especially in Ken Andrews' vocal). I'm taking it here because it's the track that fits in best with my theme.
14th round: Failure -- Sergeant Politeness
Year: 1996
Album: Fantastic Planet
Not released as a single.

Never heard of them but I liked it. Sounds like the Foo Fighters early work to me.

Doing my part to try and avoid 1967 from being an option...
Round 14 Ike & Tina Turner - Proud Mary (1970)
I'd have picked this a whole lot sooner, but I had 3 options on years so I ear marked this for round 14 and just hoped no one else would take it prior. This is the right length for a CCR song (@Eephus>hi), but Tina takes the latter part of this track to a level Fogerty quite simply cannot. And that horn section. I'm not sure a better cover of anything has ever been made.

This one goes out to my sister Debora (no h), she just turned 60 a few weeks ago, originally she had planned to rent out a bowling alley for a fun celebration, sadly those plans were shelved for now, I made her a 1960 playlist songs that came out in 1960 , a real cross pollination of easy listening and the emergence of a new era ushering in.

I'm very surprised our local grunge station didn't pick this one up at that time.

looks like I am one pick behind... going to Zig to an all time fave from CSN, the single on Discogs is listed at 4.35 long, the album version is much longer clocking in at 7.24, if it's ok with the judges will be going with the album version....

Love this version- it's my wife's go to kaoroke song and she rocks it out. If I had a different theme this would definitely be in my jukebox.

You should check out the whole album. It’s a hell of an experience, especially on headphones.

Fun fact: Fogerty started performing CCR songs in concert again after a conversation with Bob Dylan. Dylan told him, if you don’t play CCR material, everyone is going to remember Proud Mary as a Tina Turner song.

I haven’t had any time for this draft and I may have to bow out. Please put me on autoskip for the time being and if and when I have time I’ll try to catch up. Sorry about this.

I'm curious. If you didn't have time for this draft, why did you start another "tim" draft after this one had started? Are you going to bow out of that one too?
timschochet

No. I’ve run into some personal issues in the last day or two that were unexpected- no emergencies, just some stuff I need to deal with. But it’s going to limit my time for the next few weeks. The movie draft is easy to make picks in so long as I don’t have to run things. This one is more difficult because I made a theme- 50 songs by 50 different female artists from Southern California in 50 different years- which is quite challenging. I don’t regret that; it’s a fun challenge. But now I’m out of time for it for the moment. Again my apologies.
