Tropical Island IPOD Singles Draft Thread - Pending playoffs

[Kingzrool]

Knights of Cydonia - Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

That track is a ***** on Guitar Hero.

 

[SacKings7]

Just a fun song to groove along with:

Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind

[yt=Semi-Charmed Life]087pjPX3z_8[/yt]

Pretty much a one-hit wonder with this band for me - I know that they had a couple other hits as well, but this is the only one I really liked.

No wayyyyyyy, next pick gone. I had this typed in and ready to go a few rounds ago

That track is a ***** on Guitar Hero.

Piece of cake . Not really, but I passed it my first try on expert. Took me a while to finish it while I was still on hard though. Not a big fan of the actual song

 

[AleksandarN]

This pick is WAY out of character for me. Here goes...

Andrea Bocelli - Con te Partiro - Bocelli

[yt=Con te Partiro]tcrfvP11Hbo[/yt]

I don't like operatic music...I might even hate it. It reminds me of a music appreciation class I took in college that didn't work. Well, it worked in a way...it made me appreciate MY favorite genres of music even more. But I can't get enough of this one. It's a simple song, and one of the most beautiful pieces of music I can think of. Give it a listen if you're not familiar with it.

I should have known me picking O Fortuna will result in people picking Bocelli but I did not think they would take this Andrea song from me.

 

[Kings Faithful]

That track is a ***** on Guitar Hero.

Its nothing compared to the Slayer song on Expert....i can almost beat the song i feel like...but it seems to destroy me every time.

 

[Jespher]

Pick #12, and time for some more island music. And by island music, I mean Ukalalee! Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was a famous Hawaiian musician who died of a heart attack, but his voice was so beautiful. I'm taking this track to my island.

Pick #12

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9KHo9z86rA

[yt=Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow]c9KHo9z86rA[/yt]

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Bleh.

Maybe I'm biased because I was unwillingly saturated by Hawaiian culture for three years, but if I never hear another word by or about "Braddah Iz," it'll be too soon...

 

[GoGoGadget]

All of my favorite Hawaiian/ukulele music is from the 1930s. And also includes the steel guitar. Good stuff.

 

[Monty'sBiggestFan]

ipod wants me to select next...


Last Night - Diddy featuring Keyshia Cole - Press Play

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k7p06rNpEg


Nothing noteworthy to say here other than I really like this song, or at least Cole's vocals and the beat. Not really a Diddy fan, although I seem to like a lot of stuff he's dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k7p06rNpEgone as a producer.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

My Next Selection is ...

Eminem - Till I Collapse

[yt=Eminem - Till I Collapse]P3oBZ4_TNys[/yt]

Another good Eminem song, Not to mention our very own Micheal Phelps said he listens to it before swimming ..

 

[pdxKingsFan]

My next pick is the tune responsible for a million and one bad burlesque routines...
"Lil' Red Riding Hood" - Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs - 1966
[yt=Lil' Red Riding Hood]_FA85RO89HA[/yt]
Sam the Sham is best known for his other hit "Wooly Booly" along for his campy onstage attire of robe and turban and hauling his equipment around in a 1952 Packard hearse complete with maroon velvet curtains.

This was also covered by UK Psychobilly pioneers The Meteors.
[yt=The Meteors]imjxOb40FTU[/yt]

 

[VF21]

With the final pick of round 13, I select ...

Riders on the Storm - The Doors - The Best of the Doors

[yt=Riders on the Storm]SMvfAYEaE8c[/yt]

 

[VF21]

And to start Round 14:

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere

[yt=Crazy]bd2B6SjMh_w[/yt]

 

[Kingzrool]

Hey Proph. Check out the T-Shirt that I recently picked up. I could not help myself.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

From one crazy stage performer to another, my next pick is:
"Frenzy" - Screamin' Jay Hawkins (1957)
[yt=Frenzy!]2SWXOBBrZlg[/yt]
Hawkins is best known for another single "I Put a Spell On You" and his use of macabre props on stage qualifies him as possibly the first shock rocker two decades before the genre really took off with Alice Cooper in the 70s. I prefer this to his big hit thanks to the rocking guitar and the way he shouts "Frenzy" and makes the motorboat sounds.

 

[GoGoGadget]

That's a fantastic choice. Screamin' Jay would have definitely made it to my island if I were in this draft.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Next Selection ..

R.Kelly - Ignition (Remix)


[yt=R.Kelly - Ignition Remix]WG4wAjKbqqU[/yt]


I dont really know haha, its incredibly catchy and fun .. thats all i got for this song ..

 

[Bricklayer]

"The way you do the things you do
remind me of my Lexus coup"



???

Just shoot me now. Where is Ron Ron when you need a real rhyme busted?

 

[GoGoGadget]

"The way you do the things you do
remind me of my Lexus coup"



???

Just shoot me now. Where is Ron Ron when you need a real rhyme busted?

Those are the lyrics that threw you? I am far more troubled by:

"Now it's like Murder She Wrote
Once I get you out them clothes"



That's just scary.

ipod wants me to select next...

Trust A Try - Janet Jackson - All For You


[yt=Trust A Try]OZ1ah9Kyefs[/yt]

This song rocks...literally and figuratively. Another song I backdoored my way into for reasons having nothing directly to do with music so I have a fond association with it. Great as a workout song as well.

 

[Bricklayer]

I do not work out to Janet Jackson.

 

[Monty'sBiggestFan]

That was a rather declarative statement...I'm not sure whether I should touch that or leave it alone (um or aloner than this reply )

 

[Jespher]

Pick #14, and now I'm on the look out for steal picks. This one first comes to mind as the mystery to how it survived the first round, let alone 14 rounds is baffling...Maybe everyone got their beatles fix and left the party, but to me, this is one of the top 5 best songs ever written, and classy enough to grace my island ipod until my batteries die.

Pick #14

John Lennon - Imagine (Imagine)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEOkxRLzBf0

[yt=John Lennon - Imagine]jEOkxRLzBf0[/yt]

 

[GoGoGadget]

I do not work out to Janet Jackson.

Just Billy Joel?

 

[Bricklayer]

Just Billy Joel?

No, the Pianoman is chill music.

 

[D-Mass]

Next up:

Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode - Violator

[yt=Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode]VJLlb-9kboQ[/yt]

I didn't really come to enjoy Depeche Mode until later in life, and I admit to not having much to say about this song, other than that I like it.

 

[atxrocker]

great song, d-mass. depeche mode finally gettin some love.

 

[Warhawk]

great song, d-mass. depeche mode finally gettin some love.

Agreed.

 

[GoGoGadget]

Depeche Mode is one of the bands that I like much more now than I did when they were new. I'm not sure if it's based on anything more than nostalgia, but they're one of my favorite 80s bands and "Personal Jesus" is probably (tied with another as) my favorite of their songs.

 

[atxrocker]

one of the bands i grew up listening to under the influence of my older siblings. looking back at my album list, i don't think i represented my 80s tastes enough.
