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

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. Last edited by Warhammer : 02-23-2007 at 06:06 PM. |

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

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

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

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

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? |

Regarding Johnny B Goode, from wiki:
The song's impact on the rock 'n' roll world is immeasurable. |

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 |

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 -

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.

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.

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.

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. |

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. Quote:
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!
