I couldn't disagree with you more here. Those that say Smells was directly responsible for the grunge movement do not know the grunge movement. Rappers was much more directly responsbile for creating a genre, where Smells played a large part in a genre of trendy music that is basically dead now... To me Rappers is head and shoulders above Smells because it is more responsible AND the trend lasted longer.

And why is that? Sure its a horrible song but as horrible love songs go it was incredibly popular and you still hear it.

"criteria is which song is most directly responsible for a trend,". He's not saying Smells was the first. He's saying it was responsible for the trend.

I agree, I don't see why all the hate for that pick. It might be the most bone jarringly annoying song ever but it's a fairly recent, very popular love song and it gets a woman pick out of the way. |

I say that because of the audience that will be voting. Could be wrong, but I see this board as a group that will have much Celine hatred.

I actually like Celine Dion. I don't like that particular song, though.

I just had my realization that all of the analysis in the world and masses are going to end up picking lists because their 1 favorite song is on there.. stupid masses..

Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom It's time for lordscarlet's Epic Song This is my biggest gamble yet. I think it's a solid choice, but I'm not sure how everyone else is going to feel about it. Everyone has pretty much diverged from ML's original "Epic" definition to what I feel is more appropriate. A sprawling, involved, lyrical song. With the third pick of the sixth round, I choose "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. Classic - Epic - "Space Oddity", David Bowie 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

Good one LS.
Wade, that what much of it will boil down to in some categories. Trendsetters, Crossovers, and Anti-Establishment have some arguments that can be made one way or another. The others will to some extent come down to personal taste. How else do you define one song being more epic than another? That said, the reason why I like that Celine song is it was written by Jim Steinman who I happen to really like. |

Trendsetter is the toughest category to really nail imo. By definition the pool of potentials is so slim, it's pretty good when you can block it in another category when you already have a trendsetter.

I agree with you for how you should really analyze it. I just know FOFC and know that some people won't bother to look at it like that like they should and just say "GNR RULEZ!" or something ... not everyone, but a certain portion... The nature of the beast and part of what makes it fun

I think Kiss' "Rock And Roll All Night" could have fit in solidly as a party song, but it does the trick in the arena category.
As far as Space Oddity Goes, I'm torn. It does have some epic qualities to it, I love the song, and I love David Bowie, but..I dunno.

I must admit that big hair rock isn't my forte, but in thinking of an Arena song, the energy on the floor must have been prety incredible when this was played, plus it has an infectous quality even if you can't understand the words.

Enter Sandman in round six is the Tom Brady of this draft.

I don't think so at all. First, I think a number of the Arena Rockers picked are certainly above it. And while I love Metallica, and in particular "Enter Sandman", I don't know that that is the top pick for Metallica, not even necessarily the top for Arena Rocker.

I do think getting Metallica anywhere is a great pick, though, much less in the sixth round. I'm very surprised it was so far behind GNR.

Someone said how they thought of my 2nd round pick as a great arena song. I have always viewed it as more an epic, when i think of an arena song, the first thought in my head is inevitably the same each time.
Classic - Epic - 2.5 - Another Brick in the Wall — Pink Floyd Arena - 6.5-Do You Feel Like We Do--Peter Frampton Trendsetter - 1.6 - Good Vibrations - Beach Boys Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - 4.5-I Can't Stop Loving You--Ray Charles Cover - 5.6 - Proud Mary--Ike and Tina Turner Anti-Establishment -3.6-London Calling--The Clash |

OK, so I was going take Bowie's Heroes here as my love song. I've had in pencilled in for like three rounds. But noooo.... lordscarlet had to go and ruin it. Way to go, lord. Thanks for being selfish. Prick.
Luckily for me, now that My Heart Will Go On is off the board I can make this pick without worrying about being the biggest wuss of the draft. Classic - Epic - 5.5 - Thriller - Michael Jackson Arena - 1.7 - Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses Trendsetter - 2.4 - Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley Love Song - 6.6 Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers One-Hit Wonder - Party - 4.6 - 1999 - Prince Crossover - 3.5 - Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash Cover - Anti-Establishment -

I love metallica and condidered sandman but IMO that album began the downfall of what was at the time for me the greatest band in the world.
