Great song. The two Chili Peppers songs that I likely would have taken are still up for grabs, but this one definitely would have been considered if I were participating in this draft. Love the video's pseudo-German Expressionist look, as well, and would put this high on my list of potentials if someone starts a music video draft next TDOS.

L.G. Fuad - Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This to Memory (2006)
Explicit lyrics, so link only:

They're one of the few pop punk bands of the last 7-8 years that I like. For some reason every time my buddies and I go out for drinks we end up playing this song on the juke box.

Yahoooyee.
30 Rounds all complete with no forfeited picks. Thanx guys and gals. We did it and we finished on opening night. Pretty poetic if you ask me.
I need your rankings. 1-15, everyone except yourself. PM me ASAP. You get a worse ranking if you do not get yours in. Let's get this going eh.

This has been the hardest one to rate yet.

Don't Make Me Use The Bat
I think this may be the hardest yet in that there is not a single list which does not have multiple songs I like upon it. When one person has 7 songs you like, incuding an all time favorite, and another has 9 songs you like, but maybe not the all time favorite, choosing is tough.
And I still don't see what the big deal is with the initial rankings. When voting for real, yeah. For rankings, eh, as long as I get them somewhat close to what I think a final order is, I'm OK with that. I can fine-tune later....

Starting to realize uninterrupted sleep is now nothing more than a distant memory?
It took 4 YEARS for our little guy to sleep through the night consistently. One guy at my work said it took their kid 5 years.
I got really jealous and a little frustrated for those whose kids were sleeping 8 hours straight after 6 months or whatever. I was a zombie for almost 4 years at work.....
