I grew up listening to a lot of 70s folk music, and it continues to bring back nostalgic memories of my childhood. This is a great song, and the cover gives it a fresh take on the vocals and guitar solo. Simple, personal, poignant, and it continues to be enjoyable with multiple playings. With...

Wrong way dude, you timed out! Entity is on the clock. I'll have a mod or William Blake delete his pick...

I PMed entity for you and you can make up the pick as able. Entity is now on the clock

Catchy, classic, and nostalgic. I grew up a true Beatles nut, and John continues to be my favorite Beatle. With my 17th selection, I choose: Stand By Me - John Lennon (1975) Rock 'n' Roll Original: Ben E. King (1961) On the Horizon More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_by_Me_(song)

I love what Jack and Meg White did with this cover. Adding in melancholy grunge to go with the emotional undertones of loss and passive/aggressive grieving. The White Stripes blend punk with soul, blues, and traditional folk tunes quite well, and this offering is no exception. With my 16th...

Entity has timed out :( Dime Dropper is on the clock :)

Given veteran talent, both Westphal and Adelman have one NBA finals appearance each. Sure, Paul was on the tail end of his coaching career with Sacramento, but Rick is not so overbearing in this match-up to trump player talent here...

More overall wins, but mildly lower average. I guess we blew them out in one game, but lost in seven, eh? Why go by average instead of overall wins Brick?

Time to add some music from this century. This next piece was recorded for the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo opening sequence. This version modifies the viking hubris of Robert Plant's vocals to a horrific hunger/thirst for destruction. More angry tunes to pass the time along on my island, I...

Seeing as I'll be on an island alone, without friends, family, conversation, or contact with the outside world, I'm sure loneliness will ensue. Therefore, I should pick a hopeful song that would allow me to remember that there are millions of people isolated in the world. Just like me... With...

Larry89 has timed out again...Where's the bat? El Pajasso is on the clock and has a PM sent :)

I'm going to dip back into the Nirvana pond with this next selection. I have gradually gained much more appreciation for the MTV Unplugged series over the years, and this was the best album put together from the series IMHO (along with a close second to Eric Clapton's offering). This song has...

Nothing too nostalgic or deep to this tune for me. Just something light, classic, and catchy. With my 12th selection, I choose: Louie Louie - The Kingsmen (1963) Original: Louie Louie - Richard Berry - You Are My Sunshine (1957) More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louie_Louie

This is a borderline cover, and almost settles into parody territory, but is true enough to the original material that it's fair game. Utilizing the remastered score by Queen with voice over by Muppet characters, and preserving a large amount of word for word verse, this version is unique...

I thought this song would get scooped up early, and as it has fallen I keep procrastinating and looking elsewhere. No longer! Although the Marvin Gaye cover is thought of as the penultimate version, I prefer this longer, rockier version. With my 10th selection, I choose: I Heard It Through...

dukeswh has officially timed out. I AM 63ROYALS! With his 10th selection, 63Royals chooses: Fat Man in the Bathtub - Phish (2010) Original: Fat Man in the Bathtub - Little Feat More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Feat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Phish_cover_versions

I use Spotify daily. It was really helpful during the album draft! I highly recommend it as a free musc player.

49.59 mpg... Eighty two 48 minute games leads to a minimum minutes played per team of 19,680 total minutes. My team managed 20,333 total minutes played with 9 players. That is an extra 130.6 minutes per position per season. I guess we like to go to overtime :). Capt. Factorial's team only...

I AM NOBONUS! With his 8th selection, NoBonus chooses: Hackensack - Katy Perry (2009) MTV Unplugged Original: Hackensack - Fountains of Wayne (2003) Welcome Interstate Managers More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_Unplugged_%28Katy_Perry_album%29...

This one isn't on the radar of most, but it is a lovely blend of profound lyrics, soul felt vocals, and guitar harmonics that always gives me pause to listen intently. With my 8th selection, I choose: The Maker - Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds (2007) Live at Radio City Original: The Maker...
