Funny... I was considering Bugs on Broadway...

Hiro11 11-03-05 11:06 AM

Big Star, Roxy Music and Gram Parsons all going in round 9, wow. It just goes to show how much great music there is out there.

whaaat 11-03-05 11:07 AM

Round 9: Carole King - Tapestry

Mordred 11-03-05 11:07 AM

Nice choice.. Surprised it went so late. But people have been making great choices and there is a ton of good music out there.

It's going to be almost impossible to choose just one album to finish out the draft...

cleaver 11-03-05 11:09 AM

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

I almost picked that around round 4, but then decided I wanted to go for a theme in my choices and Carole King didn't fit.

Is it just me or is this round just full of awesome picks?

I got the CD yesterday, had to draft it.

Were you the guy I voted the opposite of like every round of the DVD draft?

Yep. :) If you like Mezzanine, check out Blue Lines as well. Hard to say which is the better album, but Blue Lines has the mind-blowing one-two punch of "Unfinished Sympathy" (one of my favorite songs of all time) followed immediately by "Daydreaming", another killer track. Oh, and the opening track "Safe from Harm" is also spectacular.

2 of the first 3 tracks of Mezzanine are Angel and Teardrops, 2 songs I had heard a bunch of times but had no idea the artist/album, and I was sold.
Blue Lines was, uh, acquired last night. :)

As a music copyright lawyer, I'll just assume you mean acquired at Best Buy or somesuch. ;)

you gave me the extra incentive to buy this (the SACD version) on my lunch break from Best Buy today.

jimdrix 11-03-05 11:30 AM

Round 9: Neil Young - On The Beach

ryuryu2949 11-03-05 11:32 AM

Blue Lines is much, much better than Mezzanine. BTW, those interesting in "acquiring" Massive Attack music should "acquire" the Pefecto/Oakenfold remix of Unfinished Symphony.

Giles 11-03-05 11:33 AM

I hope some of you have the great Massive Attack singles Box set

the packaging alone is tre cool.

It's the enemy. Run!

In lieu of illegally downloading (which I don't discourage) you guys might want to sign up for a free month long trial of Rhapsody which is what I did. Unlimited streaming audio. Not everything is on there, but a lot is. I've been checking out a lot of the music you guys are posting that I've always heard of, but never heard. I even like some of it! ;)

You mean, Fandango's pick? :)

der, :blush:

The Bus 11-03-05 11:45 AM

The fact that is went through eight rounds before being picked is a travesty. I didn't think it would last this long, but I pick:

Genius/GZA - Liquid Swords

(IMO one of the best albums, period).

The Bus 11-03-05 11:50 AM

It's probably a bit too early to make predictions, but I think cleaver's collection is the most well-rounded and most well-known. I can easily see him go all the way or get made fun of for having two greatest hits albums. :)

but trying to win by well known artists seems a tad like a crutch. I like illennium's list.
