Tropical Island Music Artist Draft - FINIS
- Thread starter Bricklayer
- Start date
Spike posted a picture of my next pick a few pages back. I'm surprised that nobody has taken them after Air Supply was nabbed a few rounds back.
I have been a metalhead for the most part of my music life, but the very first band that I have watched live(and I missed Metallica when they came to the Philippines!) is:
I just find their songs soothing.

Plus his music is just fun.
"Josh Turner was born Nov. 20, 1977, and was raised in Hannah, S.C. Growing up in the church, he found himself singing the bass and baritone parts in numerous choirs. After high school, he moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music and enrolled in Belmont University. After college, his fledgling career got a boost on Dec. 21, 2001, during his debut on the Grand Ole Opry, when he debuted a song he wrote titled "Long Black Train." He received a standing ovation in the middle of the song, then sang it again for an encore."

I guess it's time to grab my AC/DC replacement. For round 15 I think they're a steal.
After seeing the iconic beards, I'm pretty sure this is 1 pick I don't need to bold for you all, but anyway
.....
ZZ Top
Ahh classic rock. I missed you these last few rounds

ZZ Top:
some nice grooves, but even nicer beards. There's a certain song that's probably not for this board, and I chortle every time I hear it.
Pavement:
This is the only song I like:
Probably because it reminds me of high school.
Bread:
Um, I used to eat bread. Now I get my carbs from fruits and vegetables.

When I saw this rule...
I knew that I was going to be drafting this guy..
Hans Zimmer
Most likely, if you've watched any movie since the late 80's, you've heard this guys music. His music has created unforgettable moments in people's lives for the last 25 years. By far, my favorite composer of all time.
Cool Runnings is my absolute favorite movie of all time so I had to include it here. I love the Jamaican sound thrown in with it.
Was going to include the Inception theme here but I just couldn't help but post Joker's theme instead. It's so incredibly psychotic. Special note here, Zimmer actually worked with another composer on the Dark Knight stuff. But figured that was ok as he is credited as composer on the soundtrack. Also, could be consider "duet" I guess. If I'm wrong, let me know and I will change it.

Perhaps the single greatest jazz voice ever is still out there, but I can’t let her fall any more - Ella Fitzgerald.
What do you say about one of the greatest voices of all time? Ella Fitzgerald did it all - swing, be-bop, scat, even some blues, and she was one of the leading vocalists of her time even before what is arguably her greatest achievement, her 15-hour Great American Songbook series, which featured a double album of her performances for each of 8 composers (Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer). She’s got a huge catalog, with plenty of standards and then hundreds of songs I’ll admit I’ve never heard...but on my island I’ll have the time to learn it all!
Years active: 1935-1993
Catalog: 78 studio/live albums
Landmark songs: They Can’t Take That Away From Me, Dream A Little Dream Of Me, Baby It’s Cold Outside, Blue Skies, Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive
Videos:
Grammy-winning version of Mack The Knife, where she forgot the lyrics and just started making them up halfway through
And I've always loved this song

Alright, scooping up some more of that low hanging fruit:
Alanis Morissette
And yes, I included that photo on purpose just because You Oughta Know.
Not exactly sure how she got overlooked in the Great Female Madness, but I'll cheerfully scoop her up late. Many memories associated with her music. And it helps forestall me doing something stupid with this pick which I otherwise might have.
This video really brings me back to my college days (still needs to look up "ironic" though):
And a song which got applied to me by a gf years ago, and of course ruined once it imploded:

Nice pick. I might have considered them myself at some point. I love "Spreading the Disease" and "Among the living" and "Persistence of Time" is good too. Early Anthrax music had a fun quality about it that no other thrash bands really had. i never got into the John Bush era too much but those first five albums in the 80s are metal classics.

Well, she did sing it, so she has to take some kind of responsibility
Yeah, I get that, douchebaggery over bad word usage or grammar really is kind of a no go. In that particular case, I just thought it had become so much of a meme that I felt like using it.
P.S.: Unrelated: This draft would be much more fun, if I could actually watch all the youtube clips without having to resort to IP proxys. "Sorry, this video is not available in your location" blows.
