IPOD Decades Songs Draft - Rankings underway

[LPKingsFan]

Well, it's round 10 and my iPod is taking shape well. But there's one problem. What happens if I get sick of talking to myself in English while stuck on the island? What if I want to practice my Spanish? Lucky me, this song's still out there...

Oye Como Va - Carlos Santana (70s)

[yt=Oye Como Va]8NsJ84YV1oA[/yt]

There's also a live version here.

More from allmusic and wikipedia, where you'll learn NPR called the song (as well as Tito Puente's original) "one of the most important American musical works of the 20th century." Not too shabby.

 

[LPKingsFan]

Whoops, totally dropped the ball and didn't PM LoungeLizard until now. So, mods, can you give LL an extra 4 hours before timing out since it was my bad? Sorry!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, it's almost 0230 where I am, and I suspect it's almost 2330 where you are, so I don't think anybody's really going to sweat it if he runs late. Having said that, PM or not, there is a reasonable expectation that participants take the initiative to keep track of the draft to see when it's their turn. It's a linear draft, after all, and everybody knows who the guy/gal picking ahead of them is...

 

[Jespher]

Yup that's two...and a few more I was considering taking this year.

There's a reason you were 1 vote from winning it all last year. Great list .

Re: LoungeLizard.

I'm pretty sure he works so I'm willing to wait a few extra hours. If he doesn't post by 6 p.m. I'll send the PM to SacKings7 and LL will just have to make up his pick.

 

[SacKings7]

Well I never got the PM but it's definitely understandable at this point. So, that means I'm up, and I don't know if I just have bad taste in music, but I'm not sure how this one slipped through the cracks for 40 rounds (including last year's draft). So, here we are:

[yt=Every Rose Has It's Thorn]c56vEgA4fjU[/yt]

Every Rose Has It's Thorn - Poison - 80's

Love The Cars and this one is a good filler for the 70's

believe it or not... was next up for me. damn.

By the way I'm not compelled to look up the other draft and make sure I don't take any songs from it am I? Or am I? If so could somebody post the link.

My bad on not sending the PM...

As far as the song selection goes, you are not doing anything to improve your spot on my Christmas list.

 

[John Galt]

Really you too VF? I thought this cheesy hair metal ballad was as secure as it gets and was a guilty pleasure - but Sackings7 is definitly my nemesis and a frontrunner in this thing. This one, and his choice of Creep earlier... two genuine same-rounder "steals" against me.

While some people have created self-imposed rules about last year's draft, there is no such rule in general.

Look at the sticky in the lounge, TDOS Hall of Fame. They're all there from every draft .

Being a Bret Michaels fan is one of my deep dark secrets so don't tell anyone else, okay?

I'll clarify again, though, in case people get the wrong idea. There is NO rule about having to pick songs that were not picked in the previous draft.

You think you guys know hair metal... I just decided on my next pick.

 

[SacKings7]

I follow this draft closely, so PMs aren't really a big deal to me. It was only like an hour since the time-out anyway.

And after beating me by 1 vote in the Finals a year ago, you'll have to do quite a bit to improve your spot on my list

I think I mentioned that after you commented on my Creep pick. Funny how 1 pick can tell you everything

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You think you guys know hair metal...

I don't think I know hair metal...

 

[VF21]

I don't think I know hair metal...

This is quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever read on this board.

 

[NoBonus]

Did someone else time out?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, it's been less than eighteen hours since the last pick, so I'm guessing no.

Sorry, thought it said AM, but it said PM. So around 2:30, then.

 

[VF21]

...sigh...

SacKings7 posted at 7:34 PM, PDT. With the 18-hour clock, it means Kingszrool timed out...1 minute ago.

I'll send the PM to Francisco d'Anconia.

I am just a worthless liar, I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you, trust in me and fall as well

While everybody appears to be in a hair-metal groove, I'm going to break the trend and pick a song that I would love to have on my iPod, but still is not available at the iTunes music store - in fact, none of their music is. Perhaps they've taken some sort of stand against digital distribution of music... Well, that's 99 cents that Tool could easily get from me for their song Sober (released 1993).

Sorry, but no video this time.
