OT: The FOFC Music Draft

[Maple Leafs]

NoMyths is on the clock, meaning we should have a pick posted by Wednesday.

[ISiddiqui]

I had to go to iTunes to find out how that song sounded. I don't believe I've ever heard it before.

With the two woman quota, Madonna should have been a top two or three round pick at worst...

[NoMyths]

Pick coming up.

Y'all are being ridiculous about the crossover definition.

[Warhammer]

I definitely give Lathum the edge over Subby in that last exchange.

Heck, OPP could have been used as a Crossover. That song was HUGE.

[NoMyths]

I think I would have thought hard about using this as a cover, since it is.

I did but IMO it fits into this catergory better

[Warhammer]

I agree, there are plenty of other good covers out there too. Some that I am shocked that they haven't been picked.

Which song?

[Warhammer]

Actually Thorogood has a ton of songs that could have been used for party songs or covers.

[Karlifornia]

I like Lathum's Thorogood pick. I definitely equate it to a bona fide party song.

[Buccaneer]

Based on an earlier comment, with the general population voting, I would still go with a square peg/round hole song that EVERYONE has heard of versus a more obsure song that fits the category but would have someone going google because they never heard of it.

What pick are we on?

[Buccaneer]

Regarding Johnny B Goode, from wiki:

The song's impact on the rock 'n' roll world is immeasurable.

[ntndeacon]

7.4 Buccaneer.

[Lathum]

hmmmm, I wonder who added that...

[adubroff]

I will be interesting to see how people vote...I guess there's a number of things one can consider and no guildelines (kinda like the Baseball Hall of Fame).

At least these three are obvious:

- category fit
- how much you like it
- how much the world likes it

[Buccaneer]

What a minute, is it my turn or not?

[ntndeacon]

not. you have the pick 7.9

[ISiddiqui]

Don't mind him. He always thinks its his turn .

[Maple Leafs]

OK, my pick...

This one is a reach, and I know it. I could probably risk waiting a round or two. Maybe it's not even a worthy pick at all. That's fine.

But I want to make this pick for three reasons:
1.) The "cover" category is shaping up to be a tough one
2.) It's a shady way to get my first female singer into the mix
3.) This guy kicks ass, and I want him on my squad.

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 - 7.5 - Burning Down the House - Tom Jones & The Cardigans
Anti-Establishment -

[ntndeacon]

This was actually one of the 3 songs I sent Maple Leafs at the start of this draft. So to be able to get them at this point makes me happy.

Epic - 2.5 - Another Brick in the Wall — Pink Floyd
Arena - 6.5-Do You Feel Like We Do--Peter Frampton

Yeah, I have him on the phone now.. he's totally unprepared and at a bar right now, so this could be interesting ...

[wade moore]

I somewhat buzzed lordscarlet is locked in with his pick...

This will be in the Love Song category and is not a super "exciting" pick, but it's a very good, traditional love song that even won Song of the Year in the Grammys in 1992.

Classic -
Epic - 6.3 - "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 - "Unforgettable" - Natalie Cole with Nat King Cole
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

[Buccaneer]

Cover - I Love Rock 'N Roll - Joan Jett (7.9)

[ISiddiqui]

BRILLIANT PICK!!!

[KevinNU7]

solid female cover picks here with Joan Jett and the Fugees. The key to me is that the orginal has to be recongizable and the cover has to be good. This eliminates many of the covers selected so far but these two are solid.

[ntndeacon]

who did the original of I love Rock and roll?

[Buccaneer]

Originally Posted by ntndeacon

Arrows, I belive. From what I saw, they never marketed it but I knew Jett's story behind it.

[Oilers9911]

Iron Man was going to be my trendsetter pick since Sabbath are considered to be a pioneer in heavy metal but since it was taken....

Classic - 1.10 Hotel California - The Eagles
Epic - 2.1 American Pie - Don McLean
Arena - 6.1 Arena - Rock and Roll All Night - Kiss
Trendsetter -
Love Song - 5.10 - My Heart Will Go On (Theme from Titanic) - Celine Dion
One-Hit Wonder - 3.10 Macarena - Los Del Rio
Party - 7.10 - Old Time Rock n Roll - Bob Seger
Crossover -
Cover -
Anti-Establishment - 4.1 We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister

[Oilers9911]

And with my 8.1 pick I am going to go with a trendsetter.

Classic - 1.10 Hotel California - The Eagles
Epic - 2.1 American Pie - Don McLean
Arena - 6.1 Arena - Rock and Roll All Night - Kiss
Trendsetter - 8.1 - Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones
Love Song - 5.10 - My Heart Will Go On (Theme from Titanic) - Celine Dion
One-Hit Wonder - 3.10 Macarena - Los Del Rio
Party - 7.10 - Old Time Rock n Roll - Bob Seger

The Godfathers of Punk.

[Buccaneer]

Party - Girls,Girls,Girls - Motley Crue (8.2)

[KevinNU7]

WOW! Awesome pick!

What crazy person doesn't like All Along the Watchtower?????

Edit: Sorry I am late to the party on this one, but I am really enjoying the thread so I am going through all the responses.

There is just absolutely no way this is his best song. I'll give you it has the most mass appeal (so good for this exrecise), but not even close to his best song.

Nice job, Buc. I was trying to send someone some kind of telepathic vibes with this one.

[primelord]

O.P.P. was an interesting pick. I was in high school when Naughty by Nature made their debut and I would have actually said Hip Hop Horray was a bigger party song from them than O.P.P. We middle class, mid-western white kids knew our hip hop.

[primelord]

This was a fantastic thread idea and I am very upset I was so late to the party. I really would have liked to have been involved in the draft.

I wonder if Layla being put in the epic category will hurt that list. Clapton is far and away my favorite artist and I certainly agree it fits there, but so many people these days think of the accoustic version of Layla or just the lyrical part of the song. It's common for radio stations that still play it to cut off the instrumental part. With the depth of the epic category and those concerns above I would have gone with Layla in the love song category.

[st.cronin]

Two songs left on my radar, if they don't get picked I won't vote for anybody.

[lordscarlet]

OK. So I'm eating my after-drinking cheese steak and attempting to read the thread. My first comment: "Wow, we flew threw this round." My second comment: "Wow, we hit my pick and then a wall. Wade could've waite until I was sober!!!!!!"

So, I think I'm gonna hit the drunk guy thread for the first time.

This was my possible Arena Rocker song to take out a female and also get a solid rocker pick. However I couldn't pass up AC/DC.

Why did I multiquote this? Oh yeah, I almost went with the ramones for hti. It fits "me" better, but I think "Rapper's Delight" is even mroe definitively "rap"'s origin than the Ramones are "punks"'s origin. OK. Time to visit Ping: drunk Guy

Thank Wade!! You're my dawg!
