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

[nzoner 937]

Wait. Was BC not the lead singer on A.W? Or did we disallow that song due to release date uncertainty?

Disallowed and what a focking album,I actually like the B-side over the huge hits

[The Elevator Killer 522]

 

ain't nodody got time for dat!

LOL. Is that a pick? wait 2017. Never mind

[The Elevator Killer 522]

You'll have to fill me in later because I am clueless. BC PC AW ???? Root beer.

It's kinda obvious to me if you follow the conversation.

[nzoner 937]

Speaking of voices I was just listening to Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up from '86,wow what a song.

[The Elevator Killer 522]

I've been considering trading a song for a pick. But I would probably want to let go one I didn't pick and giving up an early round pick for a 20th round pick would weaken my line up. I guess a 2 song trade could even it up, but time is running out. Plus I bet no one wants to give up their last pick this late.

[jerryskids 6,662]

Sorry I'm in a conference call.

 

I'm not generally a huge Stones fan... except for this song.

 

19.12 Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Rolling Stones

I would trade if someone posted my #20 before it gets to me. I would take Boston's More Than A Feeling from you (fandandy)

 

Hint. No one has picked a song of theirs yet.

You can't go wrong with the Stones. One still out there I want, but I have a stones song and no room for it.

I would like to know before I picked, because it could effect my next 2 picks. I have to get an Elvis and the obscure pick. But the more I think about it, my obscure pick may not be as obscure as I think. But it might still work. It might weaken my line up but there's a song sitting out there I like enough that I might do it. Let's see if the song you're waiting on happens. That gives me time to think about it and see if any other offers come in.

You are way overthinking this

I assumed that the rest of the group is ok with trades. I guess we might have to get approval for such a lopsided trade.

Music and drafts make me obsess. If I had the time I would have done 20 mock drafts for this, but as the end comes I see they really wouldn't have helped.

[The Elevator Killer 522]

Fock it. I'll consider anything on my list for a trade for a last pick.

[jerryskids 6,662]

I dunno... that's adding complexity. Let's just make our (perhaps obscure) last round picks and move on.

[Cruzer 1,995]

19.03 Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross

 

Not to be confused with the Marvin Gaye release....... DR did this cover and it was released in 1970.

[The Elevator Killer 522]

Cool. I have have to make some decisions. Elvis is in danger, but I will hate myself.

really looking forward to the obscure round

My vote for best mutton chops from the 70's

 

 

19.14 In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry

[The Elevator Killer 522]

19.15 Kentucky Rain - Elvis Presley

 

If it hadn't of fallen to me Elvis might have been left off. But the history of the sessions it came from makes this a must have for me.

 

The 1968 TV comeback special inspired Elvis. American Sound Studios in Memphis was hot, producing Hit after hit. Producer Chips Moran of American Sound Studios had been wanting Elvis to record there and one day after his 34th birthday Elvis agreed. But Elvis had other commitments and said they would have to start that Monday. Neil Diamond was already scheduled and Moran said "Fock Neil Diamond."

Col. Parker wanted the standard deal where the song writers would have to get up part of there royalties to Elvis. This was fine in the 50s where they would make a ton of money anyway. But by the mid sixties the singer song writers wouldn't go for it and the quality of songs Elvis had to choose from went way down. Add in the crap songs written for movie scenes and Elvis was stuck with a lot of bad selections.

Elvis' genus showed during that time when he could take an average song and still make it a hit.

Anyway Chips told Parker that they were there to make great music and if there was any limitations then the session would be canceled. Elvis was ready to leave Hollywood and start making great music again and sided with Chips. One of the few times he went against Parker.

What resulted was IMO his greatest session. The Singles that came out of it included.

Suspicious Minds, In The Ghetto, Kentucky Rain, Don't Cry Daddy and Rubbernecking.

The rest was enough to create his two best albums IMO. From Elvis in Memphis and Back in Memphis. There was enough left to mostly fill up another album.

[The Elevator Killer 522]

20.01 - The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles

 

I was set to go with what may or may not be an obscure Buffet song. But I just can't pass on my favorite Beatles song.

Not obscure.

[The Elevator Killer 522]

Obscure was an option. I couldn't let this pass by me.

[The Elevator Killer 522]

Switch Vehicle to round 20. Or War. That one got crickets. The War pick. What was it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again.

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...

[vuduchile 1,945]

I really dont know if I have an obscure favorite thats worthy of my list. I can re examine, but Im not promising obscurity.

I had one from the get go and decided to leave it for #20

[nzoner 937]

I do

I'll post at the end of the draft as I'm hoping others do the same there has to be a lot not represented that we will at least go,oh yeah.

[5-Points 3,440]

Really? I can't understand why.

 

 

 

[The Elevator Killer 522]
