(OFFICIAL) *****70's Music Draft***** LOD UP

[SUXBNME 1,324]

I used cheat sheets for the 80s draft and will use them for the 70s draft.

Why? Because there are so many damn songs and artists that I forgot about in both eras that it's nice to remember them again.

 

By cheat sheets I mean google popular songs in the 70s / 80s /whatever.

 

Try it...You'll see what I mean.

 

in other werds, even though we were on the phone for an hour tonight talking about this, Bunny, lick my taint.

 

 

eta: I see you poasted this before we talked...nevermind...my bad

[SUXBNME 1,324]

That could happen to me too. I didnt buy many albums in the 90s and then moved to single song downloads as they became readily available.

 

But there might be more there than we realize.

Pearl Jam and G'nR

[Big Guy 1,400]

I expected this to go top 5

 

it was my 2nd choice @ 1.4

[BunnysBastatrds 1,913]

I dont use charts or cheat sheets for this stuff.

 

I just remember what I was listening to at the time and that guides me. From memory, Ive made a list of about 50 songs for the 70s that I would love to have on my team. Well see how many I can actually get.

Bull !!! Pick from your heart. Don't do the top 100 songs. The top five so far are an embarrassment. Are they iconic???? Yes. My top picks are ones I'd like to hear on a road trip. Those three first ones would put me to sleep.

 

Think forward. Road trip music. Not what the 100 countdown is.

[BunnysBastatrds 1,913]

What would my song be?

 

If you were in my vehicle on a Saturday night....

 

 

[Cruzer 1,992]

1.13 Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

I will update the draft list when I get to the office. Damn near impossible on an iPad.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,578]

yah I am glad I am out of this one

 

I would have picked Bohemian Rhapsody no 2 behind Stairway fwiw

 

Night Moves and Imagine are the only other 2 songs picked so far I really liked

 

and while the 2 obvious Skynard songs have gone, I would have picked another of their's before them

 

as far as Bruce, couldn't stand any of his music 70s 80s don't matter

[Voltaire 4,556]

I took a song that nobody could sleep through but I gotta say, I have no complaints with these picks. My cheatsheet has thirteen bulletholes in it.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,578]

I think id want to be picking around now though, I got my 2 I would go with here and at the turn

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

I use a cheatsheet for dating purposes only. Since the only music I heard in the 70's was in utero for the last 8 months of '79, I don't really know what was late 60's and what was 70's. Picking my favorites though.

1.8 - The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again

 

Not to knock Baba O'Reiley, lots of folks think it's the best Who song. I don't though, I like this song better.

You know I was really on the fence here. 1a and 1b. Both iconic rock 70's songs. If I took WGFA would you of taken BO ?

Just curious

[shotsup 832]

I'm good dude. Didn't see anything yesterday before I went to bed and was swamped at work today.

Cool deal man.

There is a website out on the net that lists the songs by year. You wouldn't believe the songs you forgot all about.

[ZeroTolerance 582]

So much bitching. The only songs picked so far that I don't have on my thumb drive in my car are Magic Man and Night Moves (the latter simply because living in Michigan meant getting beaten over the head with Bob Seger songs for three decades). The three songs I mentioned that I was considering for my pick aren't songs I went off of by some website or the charts, they are songs I think are excellent.

No. Im more attuned to the timelessly depressing bipartisan political observation. Most people prefer Baba ORiley though. My Plan B hasnt been chosen yet, Vudu knows what it is because I PMed him when I went to bed last night.

1.14 Maggie May - Rod Stewart

[Mike Honcho 4,016]

It's the signature song from probably the biggest rock star to come out of the 70's. Whatever.

Wait, I thought Springsteen did that song.

[Big Guy 1,400]

1.14 Maggie May - Rod Stewart

 

solid

 

It's one of the few songs that never gets old for me, and I've literally heard it thousands of times.

[Mike Honcho 4,016]

Really? Freebird and Hotel California are fine and BTR is getting shite? Ok. Hotel California sucks and I wish I could never hear it again. I would say the same thing about Freebird which is about ten minutes too long but no one plays it anymore because of it sucking even more.

Disagree that both songs suck, both songs have two of the best guitar solos in them, neither is overrated.

American Pie and Maggie May were my #'s 1 & 2. Glad one of them fell to me at 14.

Guitar solos suck after 30 seconds.

[Mike Honcho 4,016]

Guitar solos suck after 30 seconds.

You truly are going to rock this draft.

[Big Guy 1,400]

Guitar solos suck after 30 seconds.

 

Bass & Drum solos suck before they ever start.

I didn't want to take my song at #1, but I did want it - and bcoz this board is so rock based - I knew I had to grab it early.

[Voltaire 4,556]

Was a great pick, one of the better first rounders and one that I was certainly keeping my eye open for.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,627]

 

Bass & Drum solos suck before they ever start.

Twice I went to see Song Remains The Same at the midnight movie. Twice I fell asleep during Bonhams solo.

If the 70's had one thing it was iconic guitar solos,hell such great ones as...........think I'll wait on that.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,627]

Wait, I thought Springsteen did that song.

Got a bigger rock star to come out of the 70's?

[Mike Honcho 4,016]

Have to say, I'm shocked 2 artists haven't been grabbed yet.

[Mike Honcho 4,016]

Got a bigger rock star to come out of the 70's?

David Bowie(one of the two that I'm shocked nobody has picked yet)

[Sho Nuff 719]

[Hardcore troubadour 12,627]

Bowie charted in the 60's. And not close anyway. Next.

[nzoner 936]

David Bowie(one of the two that I'm shocked nobody has picked yet)

Love reading everyone's thoughts but can we please leave the name dropping out?

[Mike Honcho 4,016]

Like I said, you are going to do really well.

[Mike Honcho 4,016]

Sorry, he asked, I answered...that's why in my previous post I only said 2 artists and didn't name drop. I'll refrain from taking the bait next time.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,627]

 

Like I said, you are going to do really well.

And you're going to pick what other people like. Can't wait. Eye roll

[Hardcore troubadour 12,627]

Yeah, it's my fault that you name dropped. This place....
