Gotta take issue with two of the covers b/c I think the original should be somewhat successful and neither Nothing Compares... or I Love Rock and Roll... were that.

I think of great Cover as exactly the opposite of that....a great cover obscures the original in my mind...it's so distinctively the covering artist's song that the general public doesn't even know that there was an original. |

I'm right in the middle of this. I think the important thing is that the "cover" be of high quality. Whether the original is superior or inferior makes no difference in my judgement. |

I agree as long as the original was a legit song on its own before the cover came along...I guess they qualify since they were recorded but didn't really get a lot of love...either way I see your point.

Can't believe nobody went with that song for anti-establishment.

Hendrix pick is the bust of the draft... I think there are better choices for him for classic but he probably should have been used for cover where I think he would have owned the category (Watchtower or Star Spangled Banner). Also a little surprised by the use of Who for Baba O'Reily. Its an amazing song, but I'm not sure enough people will recognize it by name compared to some of their other stuff.

As much as you can argue for other Hendrix songs, I don't think anything is worse than "Image" as a love song.

I think that Gary Glitter goof is the "reach" of the draft. There's a couple of other songs that are weak, as well, but considering the options that were open the arena category, that pick was just insane.

Epic category easily has the most whiffs, I think...

There was a song I wanted to put in under Epic but I wondered what you guys thought. I'll wait until we're done to ask.

I took my all-time favorite band with my first pick, so I might as well take my second favorite with my last pick.
This one may not have the instant recognition factor of the others... I suspect you had to be young in the early 90s to really get it. I remember going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in like 1997 when they had a display on youth anthems from each decade, and this song was #2 behind Smell Like Teen Spirit for the 90s. I'm not sure it's held up all that well over time, but it still kicks ass and was also the breakout hit for one of the most critically acclaimed acts of the last 15 years. And besides, as Rage Against the Machine would later demonstrate to perfection, nothing really makes a great anti-establishment song like a course you can chant at the top of your lungs when you're drunk. Bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve... Classic - 8.6 - What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong 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 - 9.5 - 99 Luftballons - Nena 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 - 10.5 - Head Like a Hole - Nine Inch Nails

What do I like best about my final pick, for Party song? The most famous simile in at least the last fifteen years worth of music? The crossover appeal? The fact that it's an eminently enjoyable tune? Or the fact that unlike most songs that are associated with parties, this one wouldn't be banned on my iPod (Exhibit A: Celebration. Brrrrr). Since my explanations haven't really meant much thus far, I suppose I'm just entertaining myself at this point...but at least I've got a great playlist to pass the time, topped off by this raucous burst of energy:
Classic - 1.3 - Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan Epic - 3.3 - The End - The Doors Arena - 4.8 - Where the Streets Have No Name - U2 Trendsetter - 2.8 - Respect - Aretha Franklin Love Song - 7.3 - Can't Get Enough of Your Love Babe - Barry White One-Hit Wonder - 8.8 - God Bless the U.S.A. (I'm Proud To Be An American) - Lee Greenwood Party - 10-8 - Hey Ya - OutKast Crossover - 6.8 - Lose Yourself - Eminem Cover - 9.3 - Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor Anti-Establishment - 5.3 - Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival Last edited by NoMyths : 02-24-2007 at 09:51 PM. |

Imagine my picks as some who in the previous year had traded all their picks away for Ricky Williams and then he was thrown off the team so I had to build a team from undrafted players

I have never played FOF so I'm not sure what that means. Just imagine that I have every pick in Round 11.
