Modern songs with a groove to them. [wikkidpissah]No Single Groove[/wikkidpissah].

My only thought was are we doing the fantasy football music league this year (I hope so) and won’t that signal the end of this draft?

I hope so.  We have huge backlog of songs to work with.

Simey's Reading Glasses  -  Punk ### Boyfriend  -  ZZ Top

Bonus for How Bizarre  -  Black Hole Sun  -  Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme

Simey's Reading Glasses  -  You Haven't Seen the Last of Me  -  Cher

399.8 or 12 - Peter Perrett - How the West Was Won  (Simey's Reading Glasses)

Perrett was 64 when he recorded this woozy, Velvet Undergroundy-sounding song.

He still has the dark wit from when he fronted the Only Ones in the 70s but his observations about the modern world, the settling of the American West and Kim Kardashian are now delivered with deadpan insouciance of a geezer who's already lived through it all.

Wait... THAT Black Hole Sun? 

Going yin and yang for our 400th (!) round.

Round 400:

Breakup Songs

A. Breaking Up Is Hard to Do -- Neil Sedaka

The title track, as it were. First pick of Sedaka in the entire draft. 

B. Breakin' Up -- Violent Femmes

First line: "Breakin' Up is easy to do."

Round 399

Simeys Reading Glasses

Bob Seger- Gracile

Round 400 

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

You can have the playlist without this band but you can't have a break up without having One Last Kiss - The J.Geils Band

I'll run the Summerpalooza football league again as well. I think we've done an August draft in the past.

I'll be back to defend my title, regardless of what format we use.

Aug. 27-30 will be tough for me because I'll be covering a major (virtual) medical conference on those days, but I'll try to check in as often as I can if we are drafting on those days. 

F-it I will take more.   Didn't seem like the playlist was going anywhere near here, but it still blows my mind that these bands are not only as old as they are, but arguably put out music that was near their peak despite being near 60 or past it.   I guess this might be what the skip function is for if people aren't digging it in the mix.

Round 401

In the Morning Day - Journey (Radio Alpha)

I don't normally do ilov80s style on weekends, but when I do, it's with these categories.

Round 401:

A. Lighters Up

Saturday Saviour -- Failure

I have touted Failure's Fantastic Planet album a bunch in this thread and others. When it came out in 1996, it was revelatory, incorporating prog and other types of space and atmosphere into the grunge template in a way almost no one else was doing. However, its opening track has little of that. It's basically the grunge equivalent of a power ballad.

B. NASA Mission Control

Spaced -- Aerosmith

Fire and steel earth unreal
Find another planet to stay

Round 402:

A. Bob Dylan Radio

Don't Fall Apart on Me Tonight -- Bob Dylan

Infidels is another album that should be represented on the playlist.

B. Radio Alpha

Trouble Every Day -- The Mothers of Invention

Freak Out! was the first double debut album in the pop/rock world, and one of the first concept albums. They weren't yet calling themselves "Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention". This song, about the Watts riots, is my favorite from it.
