I'm interested to see what you thought were better epics... I'm by no means a music expert, far from it... I would however, think of at least 5 or 10 songs that to me are better values for Classics.. anyway... interested to see how it plays out... |
I am not unhappy to see Stairway off the board. I'm not sure I would have made it my #1 classic. And maybe not even my #1 from Zeppelin.

Stairway is probably a worthy top pick.
Lathum is on the clock with pick #1.2. I'll give him an hour to make a pick, otherwise I'll use the one he originally sent. |

dola...
And Lathum better not steal Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music from me... |
Classic -
Epic - Arena - Trendsetter - Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana- 1.2 Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - |
I can't think of a song that changed a generation of music more. I almost went with the thong song, it was a tough choice.
|
Dang, sorta. On the other hand...

Agreed, but it was not on my list as #1 trendsetter. |
NoMyths, you know you're up, right?

I love this thread. I wish I was participating

A hard, hard thing to choose between by top picks. At the end of the day, I had to go with the American iconoclast, who probably stands as the most important musician the country has produced. This is his greatest achievement.
Classic - Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan - 1.3 Epic - Arena - Trendsetter - Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - |

Damn, give a brotha half an hour! ;) I'm at work. :mad: |
Butter_of_69 is on the clock at 1.4.
I'll give him a little while to make a pick. However, the pick he sent is so strong that I don't mind making it for him if he's not around soon. |
I have to say that I think you put Dylan on a much higher pedestal than many others.

I'm unbothered by where I put Dylan in any discussion with folks who know much about music. ;) |

Not that you shouldn't, but you probably could've held that pick for a couple rounds. |
My #1 is now starting to fidget a bit in its suit in the green room.

This is where Maple Leafs comment about "knowing too much" about music could hurt you in this game comes into play. |
Incidentally, I think Stairway to Heaven was in over half of the "top three" submissions I got.
|
I'm curious how the scoring will work. Will you do 10 points for Top votes in a category followed by 9 for 2nd, ect... or will it just be a contest to see who can get the most Top vote categories?

It's just a straight-up poll thread. The lists are shown and then the masses get to decide who has the best "team". |

Mel how do you feel about the first three picks so far.
1 and 2 went right where I felt they could go. These songs are solid choices in their categories and if a team has a need at that position they are clear selections. Pick 3 for Like a Rolling Stone really blows me away. I had this one in the mid to late rounds and I'm baffelled. This pick will not sit well with the mainstream fans. I have to agree, you can hear those Giants fans booing already. |
I'll make Butter's pick at noon EST (20 minutes).
Up next, as of now: 1.4 Butter 1.5 Leafs 1.6 Deacon 1.7 vtbub |
I'm surprised that folks are shocked by Like a Rolling Stone. I suppose I'll pick Chumbawumba's "Tubthumper" next. :P

My problem is that Stairway is already a better selection for that category. There are 8 categories that haven't been opened yet, you should have gone for the best in that category first.
|
Well after butter picks it looks like we will get through the others quickly as Leafs, deacon and vtbub are all online right now
|
Quote:
No risks = no rewards. Though I'm truly baffled that this pick is seen as risky. I'd have not been surprised to see the song go #1 overall, and would have taken it there myself. |
Here's Butter's selection.... I love this pick.
Classic - Epic - 1.4 - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen Arena - Trendsetter - Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - |
Quote:
Strategerie, my friend. I have other controversial picks for those categories lined up. ;) |
Trade alert
vtbub and I have swapped picks in the first and second rounds. He gets picks 1.5 and 2.6, I get picks 1.7 and 2.4. vtbub is on the clock at 1.5 |
Butter's pick would have been my #1 if I was in this thing.
|
GOLD!
|
Quote:
unbeatable... |
Interesting... not even my top Queen pick... I think I would have thrown "We are the Champions or "We Will Rock You" as Arena rock over this one here.
|
I almost picked that one

The more I think about this, the more I think Butter was smarter with Queen than I would have been ;). |
Quote:
That was my 1-1 pick (if I had one). Good choice. :D |
Classic - Yesterday- The Beatles 1.5
Epic - Arena - Trendsetter - Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - The most covered song in the world is my classic pick. |

You're kidding, right? Dylan is probably the greatest artist in American music (hell, music) of the last 50 years. |

Perhaps for music buffs. For the general public, I don't think that you'd get a strong vote for Dylan. That's all I'm sayin'. |
