vuduchile 1,941 Posted January 16, 2018 I had a few songs on my list and was torn as to which one to finish out with. Last night I was searching for something totally unrelated and came across this little gem and decided to go with it instead. 16:08 Life in a Northern Town - Dream Academy This is a great song. Id forgotten about. Thanks for the refresher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted January 16, 2018 and I can't stand Aerosmith. Have you listened to much of their 70's work when they were heavy into drug use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted January 16, 2018 Have you listened to much of their 70's work when they were heavy into drug use? To be honest, I just never cared for any of their stuff... Tyler's voice was annoying as hell to me..... But it was prolly more just me, I wasn't much a rocker growing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fandandy 3,311 Posted January 16, 2018 I really enjoyed this draft fellas. I have listened to more music outside of work than anytime since, well, since I quit drinking.

Voltaire 4,564 Posted January 16, 2018 Has a definite decision been made if were doing another draft and if so 70's or 90's? Yes we are. I think we all agree this has been a lot of fun, with a lot of memories and new discoveries and revisiting songs we'd not heard in a long time. I'd go as far as to call it a smashing success. And anybody tired and maybe doesn't want to do it again and bow out, well, there seems to be plenty of interest from others who want to join. As for which one, I don't know, we haven't talked about that yet but speaking for myself, although I love the 70s much better (look at my picks and guess why) I'd rather do the 90s next anyway.

nzoner 936 Posted January 16, 2018 I;ve been listening to this song, went to find out out who the dreaded "Fred" is. One thing I did was I looked up Rock Lobster and thankfully it was a '79 hit since if you had picked it, it would not have gone over nearly so well. I would not be looking up Roam or Love Shack if we'd started with Rock Lobster. (Fred is good in Love Shack btw.). This song and Love Shack are both a helluva lot better. Thus far, this is still my favorite pick in the draft for the impact it will have on what I'll be listening to in the future. Glad I could help and in defense of Rock Lobster it was one of those songs like we all have that brings back memories.For me the song was played nightly at a bar(the full album version) I frequented when in college,it was always played around closing time and if you ever saw Animal House(toga party Shout) there was a similar scene at this bar with RL and the "down down" part.

vuduchile 1,941 Posted January 16, 2018 16.09 Eddie Money - Take Me Home Tonight Theres an artist who was huge in the 80s being represented for the first time here. I saw him open for Heart in 1980something and he was great. Also, he absolutely hated the song from the beginning. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1986-12-18/features/8604040709_1_home-tonight-album-hate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted January 16, 2018 Unless I missed it, one of the biggest, and most successful pop/r&b artists of all time is still not represented in this draft. I never liked any of his solo stuff at the time, and going back thru his catalog during this draft, I can confirm that I still don't. Ironically, I absolutely love this R&B song his former band released in 1985, after he dumped them. It is the best song they ever did, with or without him, and my favorite R&B song ever. It's also a stirring tribute to 2 of the greatest voices of all time: 16.10 Nightshift - The Commodores Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was driving me up a wall not being able to think of the title or the lyrics. I'm googling Night train and songs about dying and trains??? I finally went through every 80's year of the Billboard top 100. As a kid my best friend at the times dad died and I remember being in the car with him and his mom right after and this song meant so much to her, you could just sense it. Great song. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,660 Posted January 16, 2018 16.11. X - Fourth Of July This song is so good I thought about leading off with it. If you listen to anything on my list this is the one. It's a shame it was not given any play back then. If you've ever been there at the end of a relationship and you just want to end it in peace, this is the song that sums up that feeling. And it rocks. Can't see not loving it after about the third time you play it. Loud. Hope you enjoy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,564 Posted January 16, 2018 I promised myself I was going to listen to every song in this draft. You guys put this stuff there for me to sample and I'm going to do it. I'm not willing to go another 30 years without Roam or What I Like About You. That said, I'm just not ready to jump into another draft for a bit. it's going to take me some time to digest what we have here and appreciate it before we start our next draft. Not too long is needed.... I'm about half done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,592 Posted January 16, 2018 And to wrap it up with Mr. Irrelevant, you have a band who was an absolute icon of the Alternative world, and crossed into mainstream quite frequently with such hits as Weird Science, Only a Lad, Little Girls and others.
