Tropical Island IPOD Singles Draft Thread - Pending playoffs

Not open for further replies.
The rules are very limited. Any track that has been officially released (on a legitimate label) in any country is acceptable. If a song has been selected, a different artist/band that has released a version of the same song is acceptable provided that no members of the band performed in any version that has been already picked. I will be commissioner and will have the sole discretion of what is acceptable and what is not. I plan to exclude as few tracks as possible, so I will be as lenient as I can.
I do not see a problem. I could be wrong though.
 
Snap - Earl Klugh - The Spice of Life.

doubt I'll find a youtube but i'll look later tonight. just on briefly right now.


second song starts a 4:55 mark

Apologies for the slight delay -- time for another favorite femme:

If It Makes You Happy - Sheryl Crow - Sheryl Crow (1996)

During one winter semester back in law school this song swept through the law library in the study-crush weeks before finals when everybody is there 10 hours a day, every day (or night), and nobody wants to be (pre-IPods, so personal CD players). Think for most it was about justifying the enormous time committment while living in the library. For me it was about justifying blowing the joint to go play some hoops or watch a movie, or maybe the scarfing down of the full boxes of Entmann's chocolate chip cookies and quarts of Wawa ice tea that kept me 100% sugar-powered through those long evenings.

but is it legal in this draft? Not trying to be a party pooper -- its pretty much an everything goes draft, but I'm fuzzy on the classical rules. Could I take Beethoven's entire Symphony No.5?
As far as I can tell, this pick is fine. It is the opening and closing movement of Carmina Burana. It is one peice that he could certainly get on an IPOD. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Symphony No.5 consists of four movements, so you could pick one movement, but not the whole symphony. Unless, of course, you use four seperate picks. Clear enough?

My next pick goes to show that, even when I'm not listening to R&B, my musical tastes are still heavily influenced by the seventies. With my thirteenth pick, I select:

[yt=You Should Be Dancing]k6ccjD_hfSk[/yt]


You Should Be Dancing - The Bee Gees - Saturday Night Fever - 1976
 
Can't believe this came up and hadn't been picked yet.
Rock and Roll Music - Chuck Berry- The Best of Chuck Berry. :D:D

I have to double check the list again..;)

Did not even occur to me until just now -- but this was the one where Warhawk warned that he would be out of town until Tuesday, and that he should just be skipped.

Commisioner's call,, but I think tradepeja should be up.

Should tradepeja be skipped as well? Seems to me he mentioned being gone for several days in a couple of other threads.

Yikes. That's right.

Will have to wait for the commish, but I am thinking that skip both rather than just timing them out and having a 48 hour gap for no reason.
 
We will wait for Warhawk. What is this about tradepeja not being around? Show me a link and I will aprove passing him up.

Thanks for participating everyone so far. I tried to time things out right, but I messed up. I am leaving for 4 days and I thought I would have time to set up the next thread before I needed to get to bed. Turns out I don't.

I apologize and I'll make sure to have the new round up quickly when I get back.

Just a fun song to groove along with:

Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind

[yt=Semi-Charmed Life]087pjPX3z_8[/yt]

Pretty much a one-hit wonder with this band for me - I know that they had a couple other hits as well, but this is the only one I really liked.

I have tradepeja's pick for this thread. I'll post it momentarily.

And tradepeja's pick for Round 13 of this draft is:

Knights of Cydonia - Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

[yt=Knights of Cydonia]jV1bRfLHA3A[/yt]

Muse's best and most epic song has an award-winning theatrical music video. You all are much more familiar with Muse than you think, the main riff from their song, "Supermassive Black Hole" played during almost every Kings broadcast. Normally when Grant would read off the starting line-ups of the Kings and their opponent but sometimes before going to commercial.

This pick is WAY out of character for me. Here goes...

Andrea Bocelli - Con te Partiro - Bocelli

[yt=Con te Partiro]tcrfvP11Hbo[/yt]

I don't like operatic music...I might even hate it. It reminds me of a music appreciation class I took in college that didn't work. Well, it worked in a way...it made me appreciate MY favorite genres of music even more. But I can't get enough of this one. It's a simple song, and one of the most beautiful pieces of music I can think of. Give it a listen if you're not familiar with it.

I bought two Bocelli CD's because of that song. Thanks for posting it. I'm listening to one of them right now.

GREAT choice!!!
