I believe this song is better than the original version of the song. The original artist of this song has already been taken...Credence Clearwater Revival. However not only is this a very strong cover song it is also a woman that sings it.

Classic -
Epic - 2.5 - Another Brick in the Wall — Pink Floyd
Arena -
Trendsetter - 1.6 - Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
Love Song -
One-Hit Wonder -
Party -
Crossover - 4.5-I Can't Stop Loving You--Ray Charles

Anti-Establishment -3.6-London Calling--The Clash

My only issue with the song was when it was picked, not the song or category itself. Actually for Arena Rock, there are a few songs I am surprised are still on the board.

I'm seeing more and more picks where I like the pick, just think it's early...

Makes me think that the few songs left that to me are pretty clear frontrunners might not be and that the draft has become pretty unpredictable.

This time we reach for a love song, and while there are a billion love songs that could be played, I'm taking an older solo Paul McCartney one.

Love- My Love- Paul McCartney 3.7

Have been lurking in this thread, when I read the rules the one song I thought of when I read a category was that one. It's the quintessential cover.

This pick is actually made with some regret and remorse. I have what I feel is a very clever pick for Arena, but I don't want to pull a Houston Texans move here. I can't leave AC/DC on the board when my Arena spot is still empty. With the 8th pick of the fifth round I will take "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC.

Classic -
Epic -
Arena - 5.8 - "You Shook Me All Night Long", AC/DC
Trendsetter - 2.3 - "Rapper's Delight", The Sugarhill Gang
Love Song -
One-Hit Wonder -
Party - 4.3 - "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)", Beastie Boys
Crossover - 1.8 - "Walk This Way", Run-D.M.C. feat. Aerosmith
Cover -Anti-Establishment - 3.8 - "Killing in the Name", Rage Against the Machine

It was taken in the top 3 covers. I knew it would come off the board early in the covers list.

Good steal, but I have to think that "Thriller" is the steal of this draft right now.

If I am judging the lists of 10 against each other then Thriller is a massive steal for Round 5. If I go category by category and compare thriller to the epics that have already been selected then I am less impressed.

Now if I was including music videos in the judging there would be a totally different perspective.

I think we could do this game again and come up with 10 totally different categories - Music Video could certainly be a good one.

Picking for Bucc, as a One-Hit-Wonder,
I'll go with "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. The song needs no explanation, and no one's heard from Mix-a-Lot since.

Bucc e-mailed me a pick for round five, but I'll use it for round six once Oilers has picked.

This category is interesting because the gap from 1-5 in total is probably not as big in my mind as the gap between 5 and 6.

2.8 - Respect - Aretha Franklin

The first three songs are clearly seminal trendsetters, and if the criteria is which song is most directly responsible for a trend, then Smells is right where it belongs. It will be really interesting to see how people react to Smells vs Rappers...Smells is like 100% responsible for a 5 year trend, and Rappers is maybe 85% responsible for a 25 year trend that's been immense for the last decade. The 4th and 5th picks prove why neither of these songs was a trendsetter on the level of the first 3(two trendsetters for one trend?). Respect is a great song, and a solid move in terms of wrapping up a top woman, but I don't think of it as a trendsetter.

1.4 - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
2.1 - American Pie - Don Maclean
2.5 - Another Brick in the Wall — Pink Floyd
2.9 - BaBa O'Reilly (Teenage Wasteland) - The Who
3.1 - Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd - Epic
3.3 - The End - The Doors - Epic
3.7 - Layla - Derrick and the Dominoes - Epic
5.5 - Thriller - Michael Jackson - Epic

Great value as other have mentioned at 5.5. I don't think anybody pulled ahead/fell off much here

Quote:
Arena
1.7 - Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses
3.4 - Rock and Roll (Part Two) - Gary Glitter
3.9 - Born in the U.S.A.- Bruce Springsteen
4.8 - Where the Streets Have No Name - U2
5.8 - You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC

Also a list with a lot of parity. I don't know what to do with the Gary Glitter song...It's a good song to have because it's pervasive, but I feel like picking it so early takes away all it's sleeper value (every roto draft has one guy who drafts every sleeper pick and forgets to draft his studs). Also, I don't know if it fits in this category.

Quote:
Crossover
1.8 - Walk This Way - Run-D.M.C. feat. Aerosmith
3.5 - Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
4.5 - I Can't Stop Loving You - Ray Charles
4.7 - Superstition - Stevie Wonder

I think this is a list where Walk this way is miles and miles ahead of anything else picked and it's hard for me to imagine anybody will match/top it.

Quote:
Anti-establishment
1.9 - Fight the Power - Public Enemy
2.7 - Anarchy in the UK - The Sex Pistols
2.10 - Fuck Tha Police - N.W.A.
3.6 - London Calling - The Clash
3.8 - Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
4.1 - We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
5.2 - American Idiot - Green Day
5.3 - Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival

This is a strong list. I'm a Green Day fan but I don't think it has the game to be in this group.

Quote:
Cover
4.4 - I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
4.10 - You Really Got Me - Van Halen
5.6 - Proud Mary - Ike and Tina Turner

It looks like a minirun on covers, I think Proud Mary is like an A+ and then the next cover is about a B-.

Quote:
One-hit wonder
3.10 - MacLos Del Rio

I think this is a quintessential one hit wonder but from a strategic sense, this is a bad pick...Even if it ends up being the best one hit wonder, this category will be easy to fill with something fairly representative and by it's very nature, you know the artist won't get used for something else.

Quote:
Love Song
4.2 - Imagine - John Lennon
4.9 - At Last - Etta James
5.1 - Lola - The Kinks
5.7 - My Love- Paul McCartney

Imagine is more miscast than most Hollywood movies here.

Quote:
Party
4.3 - Fight for Your Right (to Party) - Beastie Boys
4.6 - 1999 - Prince
5.4 - Celebration - Kool and the Gang

I think all three of these are great picks. The top two are more quinessential artists, but #3 as a song can stand right on par with the other two.
