Okay, I've waited long enough. I figured this one would be safe but I can't believe it would last forever:

Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues

And now, to start Round 22, another pick I'm pretty sure no one else would have grabbed:

We Gotta Get Out of this Place - The Animals -

Sorry for the delay, I'm in mourning as XM (and Sirius) inexplicably took their punk stations off the air yesterday - because they don't have enough bandwidth for niche stations, I'm confused why they needed to merge then?

I think its an appropriate time to select this little diddy:
"Sonic Reducer" - Dead Boys (Young, Loud and Snotty - 1977)
[yt=Sonic Reducer]GJe91mhd3sE[/yt]

I'm not even sure what it is but I'd like to take a Sonic Reducer to all of their satellites right about now. I'll be ten feet tall and they'll be nothing at all. yay.

It was even good enough for Pearl Jam to cover and the Beastie Boys to sample. I prefer the original though.

itunes wants me to select...

Party Train - The Gap Band - The Best of the Gap Band


original video

Man, now this is some cooooool old school dance stuff to getcha movin...I have a good collection of Gap Band albums but I didn't get around to figuring out which one of the sequentially numbered albums this song came from - but you need to get out and get the Best Of anyway to get your full on funkiness...and the video is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 80s! Love it, :)

Next up...an oldie but a goodie...

At Last - Etta James - At Last!

[yt=At Last - Etta James]2Jg3qUeJ8xk[/yt]

This song has always been important to my wife and me. It was played at our wedding for one of our first dances. I've always made sure I had some sentimental picks on my draft islands, and this one will definitely fill the bill on this island.

Round 22

Meatloaf - I would do anything for love


[yt=Meatloaf - I would do anything for love]9GNhdQRbXhc[/yt]


This is a half comedy / half fun pick, I saw it on one of those VH1 one hit wonders shows ... or maybe it was a worst song countdown? either way I think it rocks ..

Yeah, I don't care what anybody says, I like that song. And it is over the top and cheesy. But its also complex, fun and operatic. Hope its the version with the female vocalist coming it at the end though -- helped set it apart.

More importantly, what is "THAT" which he won't do? :p
Click to expand...

Sigh.

For those who truly are still baffled by "that" (like most video hosts and/or cornball critics), the answer is that "that" is redefined in every verse set. He says he'll do a) for love and he'll do b) for love, but then the last line of every verse is the thing he won't do. He won't lie. He won't cheat. He won't whatever. So there are about half a dozen different "thats" over the course of the song, and no big mystery if you listen closely. (I think the first set is a) I'd run to hell and back for love; b) I'd never lie to you for love; c) but I won't forget how you feel like right now (I won't do that). Clever eh? :p

Of course entirely too complex for the "She Got a Big Ole Butt" crowd, but whatcha going to do? ;)

Everything I could have wanted to know about that song and way, way more. Next dissect that enigma of ambiguity known as Paradise by the Dashboard Light. ;)

I don't understand what you guys are talking about. What's less than sweet and pure about listening to a baseball game? :confused:

Ever hear of Barry Bonds? :p

Time to keep the hard(ish) rock going.

[yt=Closer]ccY25Cb3im0[/yt]

Closer - Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

This song might be extremely dark and vulgar, but damn do I like it. Maybe that's the reason why? I dunno, I'd like to think its the amazing industrial sound, Reznor's great vocals and lyrics, and the sweet-*** distorted Iggy Pop beat.

So I wouldn't get reprimanded for vulgar language if I posted the beginning line of its chorus here on the board? haha. Why am I even arguing about this?

Have you listened to both songs? I have. I'm telling you that Would You Mind is more explicit than Closer.

I didn't say that Closer was tame, I said that it was tame by comparison.

What? Did you already forget what you wrote? You said "that song isn't vulgar." Go scroll up a few inches.

Now I understand "not vulgar" =/= "tame," but there's a strong implication there.

Oh and sure the word would get caught, but I've had and seen quite a few completely censored posts on this board get deleted just because of what they implied. Probably rightfully so.

I am up for more of this useless argument if you are though Slim :D.
