That's hard to say - I'm hardly a music snob, and I think Dylan is pure genius. Rolling Stone (not really a music snob magazine at this point) had Like a Rolling Stone as the number one song of the century. |

So far it's gone pretty much the way I was thinking except for the Dylan pick. I had it just a little lower, but I still like it.

My pick won't be a big surprise...
Classic - Epic - Arena - 1.7 - Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses Trendsetter - Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - Considering they really only put out two "real" albums, it's amazing that you could make an argument for G'n'R having a top pick in four categories: Love song (Sweet Child O' Mine), cover (Knockin' on Heaven's Door) and epic (November Rain). But I'm going with Jungle, a song that kicks so much ass that it's still played at every freaking sporting event in the world 20 years later. I might have been able to get away with this in the Classics category, but if you've ever seen Jungle performed live you know it belongs here. Oddly enough, I think there are other songs that are a better pick here than Jungle, but I suspect they have a better chance of still being on the board next round. We'll see if I'm right. lordscarlet is on the clock at 1.8

Classic -
Epic - Arena - Trendsetter - Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - "Walk This Way", Run-D.M.C. feat. Aerosmith - 1.8 Cover - Anti-Establishment - This was a very hard pick for me. I have a lot of solid ideas for other categories, but there were a few factors in this pick. I won't reveal them all for stategerie reasons, but I think this is the runaway top crossover pick (and the only I could really think of) and I want to get it (and Aerosmith and Run-D.M.C.) off the board before someone else gets to it.

Bucc is not around today due to work, but did send a pick:
Classic - Epic - Arena - Trendsetter - Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - 1.9 - Fight the Power - Public Enemy I think this is another very, very strong choice.

The Beatles at 1.5 is quite a steal. Yesterday, especially, but plenty of good picks from their library could have been selected and had similar effect in the Classic catagory (Strawberry Fields, Hard Days Night, Come Together, etc).

I pretty much passed over any Beatles options as I was compiling a list with the assumption that it would be taken before my first pick, much less later as I have a few things I definitely wanted to take higher.

A summary of round one:
1.1 Classic -Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin 1.2 Trendsetter - Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana 1.3 Classic - Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan 1.4 Epic - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen 1.5 Classic - Yesterday - The Beatles 1.6 Trendsetter - Good Vibrations - Beach Boys 1.7 Arena - Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses 1.8 Crossover - Walk This Way - Run-D.M.C. feat. Aerosmith 1.9 Anti-Establishment - Fight the Power - Public Enemy 1.10 Classic - Hotel California - Eagles So far the Classic category is seeing the most action. No women picked yet. Nothing from the last 15 years chosen.

Funny you should ask.
Bucc sent three picks. One was his Public Enemy pick, and the other two are already gone. He also PM'ed me to say he wouldn't be online during the day due to work. As I see it we have two options here: - Press pause, wait for Bucc to make his next pick, and resume the draft tonight/tomorrow - Appoint someone to be Bucc's co-owner (since we may run into this again, assuming he's unavailable every workday) Any thoughts from the others?

By the way, For my Beach boys pick...This song was one that redefined the Beach Boys. It also used instruments that were at best rare if not foriegn to rock and roll... Like the cello and the therimin. This is one of ther first songs I know of that used a layered production..giving us a type of musical collage. Later seen in Strawberry fields (for example)

Re the Beatles pick: that was what was giving me the most trouble, but it seemed to me that since I couldn't decide if A Day in the Life or Strawberry Fields (or hell, Let it Be) would win out, it would fragment the vote too much. Definitely great to have The Beatles on your side, but I'm personally torn as to whether Yesterday is the best song from them.

Re: Bucc...
CO-OWNER PICK!!! Oh, did you just want input from people who are actually involved in this thing, and not those who want it moving quickly because we're enjoying it so much? |

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" snuck under the wire there. Quote:
Hm. My gut is to attempt to contact him through a private email address for him first. (if anyone has one) Unless he has discussed his picks with someone already (Wade could be used in an emergency for me), I'd hate to see someone pick for him and go in the completely wrong direction. Having said that, I'm eagerly waiting for this to move on. Daytime is also the best time for me to play. Looks like three picks is not nearly deep enough for a pre-draft list. My vote is an attempt to contact him outside of the board ( I don't recall what Bucc does for a living or if he would be checking email) and go from there. I'd hate to screw him, and I'd hate to see this slow down.

I thought it came out in 1991?
I did PM him this morning, so if he has e-mail notification turned on he should have received that. Other than that, I have nothing.

re: bucc
I say give him an hour or so, sometimes people say they will be gone then pop in. After an hour assign a co-owner with the understanding if he has an issue with his pick he gets to redraft it under the assumption he can't take anyone on the board. |

dola- another solution could be the other 9 owners submit what they would pick and the majority ( if any) wins that pick.

Yeah, the problem there is what if we get ten more picks along, he shows up and decides he doesn't like this pick, but someone who has picked since would have taken that song?

I like the co-owner idea, and I don't have a problem with him redrafting if the choice doesn't suit him, but only after every other owner has drafted in between the co-ownered pick and whatever his next pick would be. Seems that way if someone wanted a song that he'd choose, they'd have had the opportunity to grab it.

OK, so it's agreed. We give him a little more time, somebody will pick for him if he's not around, and if he complains, we kill him.

So yeah, I'd be glad to pick.Bucc liked my taste in the TV draft - but that's because I picked The Wonder Years.

Looking forward to all the obvious ones dropping off the board (well, obvious except for that bizarre Dylan pick, of course) and getting into more obscure/inspired picks...

Could have been worse...I could have chosen a second or third best Zeppelin song to lead the whole draft off.
This word inspired, I do not think it means what you think it means. |

Nothing inspired about my pick...that's the curse of the 1-1. You have to pick the 800 lb gorilla. Picking another Zeppelin song before Stairway would be like going Dylan in the top 3. Or picking Sam Bowie before MJ...

Walk This Way is like Tony Gonzalez in a fantasy draft five years ago. Not necessariy the best overall player available, but so far ahead of everyone else at the position that it's a good pick.
