g10829cy174.jpg

I can't stay away from the Rhino boxes, but this is a great way to grab a ton of great tracks that have eluded me in all the other drafts.
 
FYI, I think things may settle down by the time the draft snakes back to me but my wife is very possibly being induced tonight. I don't have time to make my next picks now so if I haven't logged on in a few days by my turn please skip me.
 
Great news, PDX. We can always use another Kings fan!!!

I'll have my next pick up in a few minutes...

Almost without exception, hearing any of the songs from this collection brings back very vivid memories. I couldn't exist without being able to hear Fleetwood Mac.

Well, darn you taking one of my picks...I should have picked that one earlier!

Moving on:

Stars: The Best of 1992-2002 - The Cranberries - 2002

Stars_Cranberries.jpg


It's no secret from other drafts that I've always been a Cranberries fan. I like most of their work, but this album satisfies the casual listener since it contains most of their big hits.
 
Okay. Couldn't squeeze any Combustible Edison on my first music island, so I feel compelled to go for this one here.

19954roomssoundtracktg6.jpg


Four Rooms [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (1995) -- Even for a self proclaimed Tarantino/Rodriguez fangirl, this film was pretty awful (well... most of it... I liked Rodriguez' portion, but that's a discussion for a different thread). The soundtrack, however, is greatness. It functions so much like a score that, if not for a couple of old Esquivel tracks, I almost wouldn't even allow it in this draft. The remainin 27 tracks -- some full songs, some only musical stings -- are by Combustible Edison, one of my favorite unknown lounge bands. It's kitschy, it's cheesy, it's silly, but it's damn fun. Especially "Vertigogo" and "Millionaire's Holiday."
 
FYI...I just updated my posts for this draft to include some hyperlinked songs if anyone cares to peruse them...It might not matter, as GGG linked different pages on the draft board, but it was fun:)...Carry on...

You are a strange young woman. ;)
 
Until the End of the World (soundtrack) - 1991

Wim Wenders asked his favorite bands/musicians to contribute original music for his near future sci-fi movie and they all obliged (only U2's "Until the End of the World" was previously released) and contributed to what is in my opinion one of the best soundtracks of all time.

  2. Talking Heads: "Sax and Violins" (David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth) – 5:18

My brain's been going in too many different directions today to have noticed that Brick timed out and atx is up. I'll send PMs.
 
It's technically been less than 24 hours since I noticed the timeout and PMed atx, but in the interest of moving things along (and since it has been two full days without a pick) MBF is up. I'll PM.
 
I'm going to stick here for perhaps another pick or two...

The Best of Old Time Radio: Alfred Hitchcock - Radio Spirits-2002

Alright then.........:mad:

David Bowie - Changestwobowie

But only if I can have the 1998 EMI reissue with this track listing:

Oh! You Pretty Things
Life on Mars?
Starman
Hang on to Yourself
Aladdin Sane
Fame
Fascination
Sound and Vision
Helden
DJ
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)

The listing is radically different then the original release.

I do not want to hold things up for a ruling. Move on with the draft. And I will live if I have to make another pick.
