And after reading the lyrics I am left with a big WTF. You do realize this is being voted on by all of FOFC right?

Not sure how you can say American Idiot doesn't fit in with the rest of those Anti establishment songs. Just because it is more refined doesn't make it any less fitting fot the catergory.

ML - I LOVE that pick.. it is far better than Celine Dion... I didn't like your list early on, but I think it is shaping up pretty well.. in the top 3 or 4 right now for sure...

I understand where people are coming from, but the fact that in a music draft I had to somehow "rebound" from Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash makes my head explode.

Unchained Melody is the best love song taken so far, I'd have to say.
There's one artist who has a few love songs that I'm stunned is still around.

There are no less than 3 musicians that I find it amazing made it out of the first round, as well as 2 (at least to me) clear cut dominant songs in a given category that havent been selected....

NoMyths was here when his pick came up. Not sure what happened to him, he didn't send me anything so we're stuck.

I may be headed to happy hour soon. There are 10 or so picks before I'm up again, but just thought I'd let you know. You can always try to proxy through wade, or we can just assume it's going to slow down over the evening and possibly the weekend.

And now for something completely different: for my crossover choice, I'm taking another rock/rap/electronica hybrid. This artist managed to pull off a nearly impossible task: make a song that crosses all listener barriers to achieve multi-platinum success while still being credible (or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof, all things considered). It served as the soundtrack and thematic calling-card for a popular film, notched a Grammy and a Golden Globe, became the first rap song to win an Academy Award -- and wasn't some lame piece of crap like My Heart Will Go On (which, I might add, beat out Elliott Smith's "Miss Misery" for the Oscar that year, an unforgiveable if understandable mistake).

Interesting...
I had Eminem in mind for crossover, but I would have used his song with Dido or Elton John to be a more direct crossover.

I thought Elton/Eminem would have been a better choise. IMO you are grasping with Lose yourself from my own personnal definition of crossover. To me crossover is someone performing outside their element, Lose yourself is a rap song and eminem is a rapper. To me it doesn't matter if people from various industries enjoyed the song, that only tells me that they found a way to make them enjoy a rap song.

The definitive female popstar of the 80s and early 90s. Millions of girls dressed like her. The video for this song was cutting edge and provocative, as was her infamous MTV video music awards performance - writhing around on the stage in a wedding dress. I gotta say I am shocked that Madonna is still in play - and I'll use Like a Virgin as my trendsetter.
Classic - Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin (1-1) Epic - Freebird, Lynyrd Skynyrd (3-1) Arena - Trendsetter - Like a Virgin, Madonna (6-10) Love Song - Lola, The Kinks (5-1) One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - You Really Got Me, Van Halen (4-10) Anti-Establishment - Fuck Tha Police, N.W.A. (2-10)

Is a rap song that uses a sample from another genre really a crossover? That's like half the rap song released this decade.

"Lose Yourself" is his best song, but I don't really see how it fits the crossover category in the slightest.

True. Eminem had mainstream appeal long before "Lose Yourself". Dunno. I knew he'd get picked in this category and "Lose Yourself" was probably the right choice.

I must admit she slipped past my radar. Doing all of this my first thoughts are very much not mainstream and I have to rack my brain for things that are. Having said that, if you already have a trendsetter, the rest of her music falls into one of a couple very deep categories.

Much like Michael Jackson... even though this is a music draft, it's heavily tilted to rock and rap and away from pop.

TIME TO PARTY BITCHES!
Nothing says fun like this raunchy rap party anthem: "You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X Who's down with OPP (Every last homie) You down with OPP (Yeah you know me) 3X Who's down with OPP (All the homies)" O.P.P. - Naughty By Nature Classic - Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin (1-1) Epic - Freebird, Lynyrd Skynyrd (3-1) Arena - Trendsetter - Like a Virgin, Madonna (6-10) Love Song - Lola, The Kinks (5-1) One-Hit Wonder - Party - O.P.P., Naughty By Nature (7-1) Crossover - Cover - You Really Got Me, Van Halen (4-10) Anti-Establishment - Fuck Tha Police, N.W.A. (2-10) edit: if there was a medley with this and Hip Hop Hooray...it might be perfection

I'm going to take a gamble and not send in any picks. I hope things don't fly this evening and I hold things up. You can try wade if that happens (Wade, I forgot my cell at home. Do you have g's #?). Otherwise, I'll be around late this evening and I should be around off and on tomorrow. I'm assuming we won't rush people over the weekend, but I could be wrong.

OPP is a great pick. Was definitely on my list, and I even recommended it to someone else today before coming up with an even better idea.
