We're at the mercy of Spotify and some songs that would have been eligible as singles only have longer versions available for streaming. So I can kill my all 6 minute song shtick idea.

KarmaPolice Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I want part of somebody's theme to be drafting the song that samples the pick that Rock took before he has a chance to take it. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilov80s Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I think to make my list work, I have to to ignore some of the biggest artists from Detroit who were big but I don't think represented Detroit. No Glenn Frey, Bill Haley, Alice Cooper or Ted Nugent. Also, even though they fully belong, there will be no Kid Rock or ICP.

krista4 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Ilov80s said: The tips to a good gin and tonic: 1. Don't be too cheap with the gin, but I don't think you need to splurge either 2. Do splurge for the tonic water, no cheap crap. Plus get the mini cans and not the big plastic bottle. That bottle will go flat before you finish it. 3. You have to get some fresh fruit grapefruit and lime in there. Tonight was St. Germain cocktail night at the 4 household. My mom bought me a subscription to something called Shaker and Spoon, which is a service that sends you all the fixin's and recipes for fancy cocktails once a month. That is, all the fixin's except the damn booze! And as it turns out, St. Germain is quite expensive. A small bottle is $25, and I did not get a small bottle. Anyway, ex-Mr. krista came over (yes we hang out) and we made cocktails and ate pizza (the last bit probably goes without saying). We had: The Myrtille Spritz, which involved St. Germain, blueberry-cinnamon syrup, lemon juice, sparkling wine, and a cinnamon stick. The Green Thumb Cooler, which involved St. Germain, garden spice, salted green garden shrub, celery bitters, and lime seltzer. Darkened Summer Moon, which involved St. Germain, neri goma syrup, lemon juice, makrut lime leaves, and sparkling wine. The first one was the winner. Pro tip: if you're giving someone a gift, try to make it something that doesn't require them to go buy expensive liquors and spend 20 minutes making a cocktail. But it's kind of fun anyway. Also, I hope the featured liquor is never gin. Edited July 10, 2020 by krista4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I definitely don't hate it but don't appreciate it as much as a lot of other people. Although if I were to do the rankings again right now, a lot of stuff would move around!

Pip's Invitation Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I love all of them but I would have to say George is #1 for me. He was much more represented on that 90-minute tape than he was on a typical Beatles album. I made my 9-year-old sit through the Ringo birthday special and, a few weeks ago, McCartney's Rockshow concert film.
