I too like Depeche Mode more now than I did back in the 80s.

Of course that means next to nothing given how much I absolutely detested them back in the day. ;)
 
Haha yeah soon turned into a while....woops.

Great picks with Imagine and Riders on the Storm. I wanted to take Imagine and would want it on a list of mine if this were really the last 30 songs I could ever listen to, but I figured its pretty similar to Hey Jude in many ways and could leave it off. As for the fill of Beatles, rest assured I got one or two more coming up.

Not sure if I'm loading up too much on classics but this is still here and its a favorite so...

[yt=California Dreaming]-wI6uAOHzvo[/yt]

California Dreaming - Mamas and Papas - If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears

btw, did anyone watch that Muse video? Even if you don't like the song, you gotta respect a video with that level of production value
 
I have my own Depeche Mode song to enter here:

[yt=Route 66]qqrKxBhKdFM[/yt]

I've always liked their version of this song, and what a fun song it is. Also like the "Casualty Mix" of this one but the standard version works well, too.

EDIT: Well look at that! I've got a trophy! Thanks to those responsible!

Everyone who wins a draft thread will at least temporarily get one. It was VF's idea. And a good one. Slim tracked down the "award". JGar did the work behind the scenes to make it happen.

Our thanks to them all for getting it done.

Thanks everyone! I certainly appreciate it. It just so happens that I'm quite fond of trophies.

:p
 
My next choice is

[yt=Be Yourself]migiL57e6Wk[/yt]


Be Yourself - Audioslave - Out of Exile

Well, something very recently just happened to me, and I'm severely depressed right now..so i just started listening to music and this one came up in the playlist and its helpin out a little bit. Not to mention it hit #1 on several rock charts.
 
Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) - Sly & the Family Stone - Greatest Hits

Not sure that this song needs an introduction, but I will post a description and video link later, as well as update the board.

I need a "happy" song, so my #14 is:

[yt=Beautiful Day]omFdpnSu57U[/yt]

Beautiful Day - U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind

My favorite U2 song, won multiple Grammy's, and a perfect song to be stranded on an island with.

From wiki:

According to Bono, "Beautiful Day" is about "a man who has lost everything, but finds joy in what he still has."

For my next pick Launchcast gave me something rather appropriate.

[yt=Too much time on my hands]HQiJdf-ebIs[/yt]

Too Much Time On My Hands - Styx - Greatest Hits

Is this the first Sly & the Family Stone pick? If so... 'bout damn time, people.
 
Sorry for the delay, people's; long day at work, and I went straight to sleep when I got home... Didn't even stop to eat.

So now, with a warm beverage, and cold fries, with my fourteenth pick, I select:


[yt=Shake, Shake, Shake...]vGjmDTvuNLM[/yt]


(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty - KC and the Sunshine Band - Part 3 - 1976
 
Oh great. It took me YEARS to get that song out of my head the last time I heard it, and at my rapidly advancing age I may not have enough years left to get it completely out again...

:p
 
[yt=Lucky - Bif Naked]EgJ3ppZB7pA[/yt]

Lucky- Bif Naked - I Bificus (1998)

I happen to think this song is really beautiful, but still was going to hold off on it and try to nab it as a late round sleeper until Aleksandar came out of the blue to select Ms. Bif as one of his island hotties in the Babe Draft. That took me by complete surprise, and while I had no idea if that would translate over to her music, or to this most atypical of songs for her (she is primarily a goofy hyper punkish chick), I was not going to risk it.

Ah...so there was a threat after all -- was not sure if it was all just in my head.

I would apologize, except I know how much ridiculous hand wringing I have gone through waiting to fire that pick off. Almost did it last cycle after your Bif babe pick, but then I also felt like I had to defend Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone from Bozzwell after Warhawk opened that door. So I have been counting the picks. And on top of that that's my video you are watching (an edited version of the official with the better vocal performance of the newer (shorter) version of the song subbed in for the original). So I can't apologize. But I do empathize -- I really love the passion of that song. :)

When I picked her in the babe draft I was banking on her as a relative unknown. I was going to pick after my current rotation. I did not think anyone would pick a song of hers. I might have to rethink my rotational order now given how some of my picks have been already taken/.
