It's interesting.. I think Foxy Lady would be my 3rd or 4th choice for Hendrix songs, even when thinking about the masses...

Fans are pulling of their jerseys and throwing them in the garbage. Mel Kiper is ripping the pick. This is Jets circa 1990. |

So no skipping if it's outside of work hours? Or should I send in a list if I go to happy hour?

I was shocked no one picked it first round.

Yep, I had Watchtower as my #1 cover, but I suppose it's all about priorities.
Time for the epic. And sorry, but I'm not a believer in Freebird. Just don't think it's that great of a song. When it comes to what I'd consider to be truly epic, I'm thinking about indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding, heartache and the loss of god...and the kind of guitar work that is closer to an aural painting than electricity and metal. Cabaret, snakes and fire, tripped-out guitarwork, distance and cacaphony, spoken word poetry -- and probably the most famous use of the f-bomb in rock music, though you'd pretty much have to hear them live or on a bootleg to find out just what Mr. Mojo Risin' wanted to do to his mother, though it's clear on any version. You got it: Classic - 1.3 - Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan Epic - 3.3 - The End - The Doors Arena - Trendsetter - 2.8 - Respect - Aretha Franklin Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - |

Send a list. I probably won't skip anyone outside of work hours, but if there's a few people online and the people behind you have picks already, I might get feisty. Better safe than sorry.

Butter is up. He sent an original list of three, then a revised version. The revised version has been picked dry, but he has one song left from his original. I'm going to hold off picking for him for now and see if he shows up.
Send your picks (if you won't be around).

if you go Hendrix, "Purple Haze" is the slam-dunk pick. Shit, i'd even take "Manic Depression" before "Foxy Lady".
The fans are pissed. You took a Division II QB when the top prospect was still on the board. |

The End is so bloated and over-indulgent, that it makes Bohemian Rhapsody look like a Ramones tune. I think it's crass and horrible.
I thumb my nose at your selection.

When I think of an epic, I want a tour-de-force, not a tour-de-drunken shirtless greaseball yelling incoherently like a hobo.

I'd just like to say that the NFL Draft would be 100 times better if after every pick, the other GMs rushed to the ESPN booth to say "Wow, that guy sucks!".

I like the Freebird pick. I would've gone differently with Hendrix too.
The NFL Draft should have hecklers like this too, I agree. |

Classic -
Epic - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen, 1.4 Arena - Rock and Roll (Part Two) - Gary Glitter, 3.4 Trendsetter - Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - Cover - Anti-Establishment - Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols, 2.7 I'm thinking of Arena as more like a sporting event, and nothing gets the crowd going like this (perhaps overplayed) classic. I know I can't resist the fist pump and the "HEY!" every time I hear it.

I can't believe the last few pics.
Subby, if you manage to pick a Foreigner or Journey song next I will have to vote for you just completely based on the music played at the local dive bar I went to in college.

Gary Glitter? Interesting. It wasn't on my radar as a pick in the entire draft.

OK, this one is a bit of a reach in the third round, I know that. But the more I think of it, the more I suspect that the "crossover" category is going to be a bitch. You have Walk This Way (picked), Bring Tha Noize (ineligible), and not much else. How many good rock/rap hybrids are there? I can see a run on Limp Bizkit wannabes. Shudder.
Just a tough category. Who came up with these anyways? Put some thought into next time, please. So ... I'm going with one of the first artists to ever have success in multiple genres: pop and country. Yeah, country is pop now, but back in the day they were completely different and you did one or the other. But this guy had mainstream pop success despite being a country legend. So I'll pick him a little ahead of the curve so that I don't need to spend a late pick on Jay-Z/Linkin Park. Classic - Epic - Arena - 1.7 - Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses Trendsetter - 2.4 - Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley Love Song - One-Hit Wonder - Party - Crossover - 3.5 - Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash Cover - Anti-Establishment - Technically Walk the Line was his first major crossover hit, and Boy Named Sue was bigger hit. But I like this song better so go piss up a rope, Mr. Negative.

I was waiting for some one to take Johnny Cash's Hurt as a cover.

There goes my cover song. This is the line of thought I was in at first for "crossover" until I got the clarification. In my mind this crosses genres as far as charts go, but it's still the same style he always did -- it just began to appeal to a broader audience. Having said that, I don't know where else you go in this category. I will have to think of something other than "Hurt" for my cover song gold. And, for anyone that wants to argue, "Ring of Fire" is an excellent choice for Cash. I considered it for Love Song.

See above. I didn't expect Cash to get picked up for crossover and thought I could sleep on him a few more rounds.
