Cruzer 1,993 Posted February 1, 2018 Laugh if you will, scream gay all you want, but you simply can NOT have a 70's draft w/out this song........ Far from the best. BUT, it is arguably the most well known song from the entire 70's era - even kids today know this song. 20.03 Y.M.C.A. - The Village People Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad Santa 24 Posted February 1, 2018 No, you are fine. Well now that Y.M.C.A. has been picked I guess I am. I just wanted to make sure.

jerryskids 5,267 Posted February 1, 2018 I'm fairly happy with my roster and its diversity with funk and folk, but I need to get back to my prog rock roots. My biggest regret in this draft has been not getting a Kansas song. I had planned to take Carry on Wayward Son but Fandandy swiped it; I thought I could get Dust in the Wind a few rounds later but it was taken like 10 picks later. I mentioned during my Renegade pick that those two Styx cassettes were what I played the most as a kid. Well, #3 was Kansas - Two for the Show, a double live album that came out in the late 70s. It had the above songs of course, but more importantly introduced me to their earlier works. The way the songs were laid out on the cassette I played "Lonely Wind" (actually released as a single so not obscure enough) and "Icarus - Borne on Wings of Steel" (my second place obscure) on one side, then flip it over and play a song based on a Herman Hesse novel about a man who wanders aimlessly throughout Medieval Germany after leaving a Catholic monastery school in search of what could be described as "the meaning of life," or rather, the meaning of his life. I basically just cycled these 3 songs again and again. Originally recorded in 1974 on their debut album, a fantastic feat of musicality, I present to you... 20.04 Journey from Mariabronn - Kansas Hopefully obscure... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,572 Posted February 1, 2018 Switch Vehicle to round 20. Or War. That one got crickets. The War pick. What was it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again. Is my pick obscure? Did it stump you? Do you think it'd stump nzoner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 930 Posted February 1, 2018 I was born in late 79 so I dont really have any favorite obscure songs from the era. Plus you cant have a 70s draft without a little....... Cocaine - Eric Clapton - 20.05 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Elevator Killer 497 Posted February 1, 2018 Is my pick obscure? Did it stump you? Do you think it'd stump nzoner? I knew the song once I heard it. I don't know what it was or who sang it But it's one I've always liked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted February 1, 2018 As I said earlier in the draft I have Mama nzoner to thank for my obscure selection as this album was in her collection and I still remember at only 10 years old listening to it on my little turntable.Even then the sound was glorious to my ears and when I finally heard it on a great sound system I was The kicker is that this song has a long history and will most likely be taken in the 60's draft.Lastly,I have shared this version with many people over the years and honestly no one had ever heard of it but most became instant fans.Unfortunately,I lost mama's album in a fire back in '86 but thanks to the internet have the full album once again.I hope you guys who love music as much as I do(if you weren't already aware of this cover) enjoy as much as i enjoy sharing it with you. 20.06 House Of The Rising Sun- Frijid Pink Band Album Cover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't heard that version, so meets "obscure" for me. I've got a soft spot for that song because my daughter sang it in a rock-themed talent show in HS.

Voltaire 4,572 Posted February 1, 2018 I was watching the Lost episode where Hurley jump starts the Dharma van and a really cool 70s song started playing on the 8 track the moment the engine turned. I hadn't the foggiest idea what it was or who sang it but I loved it. It was so cool that I typed in the lyrics into a search engine and got both a song and a band that I had never heard of. This is that scene. See if you know it. I don't know how to do spoilers, I typed it in white to hide it.

LOD01 192 Posted February 1, 2018 My last pick isn't a favorite or necessarily obscure. It was popular at the time (77/78). I was 7 and it was Dad's weekend with me and my brother. He took us to a pizza parlor that he frequented because the bartender was hot. He thought he could score some points with her by bringing his two boys in for lunch. Well, 2 hours later my brother and I are bored, there's nobody in the place but us. My dad gave me .50 to put in the jukebox. You got 3 plays for a quarter back then. I put in the .50 and played this song 6 times in a row and embarrassed the sh!t out my dad who was an avid country music guy. We left after the 5th playing of... 20.02 If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman I really like that song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
