Yeah it is. If you’ve never listened to Workbook by Bob Mould, give it a listen.

Great choice on Janes Addiction.

Copper Blue is great to be sure, but the Beaster EP is even better. (I doubt EPs would be eligible for this exercise and even if they were a full-length is probably the way to go, but Beaster blows Copper Blue out of the water. JC Auto is an all-time favorite song.)

Check out Workbook or Black Sheets of Rain. Bob Mould is a damn genius.

Does that take Bruno Mars off the board?

Only half kidding when I say that if I could fashion my own Mariah Carey greatest hits record, and select it legally, I'd have drafted it already.

You'd need a tire swing over the lake outside your cabin.

govmentchedda wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 11:12 am Same. "You Were Right", the Built to Spill song on my album choice basically steals lines from a bunch of prior songs. "You were wrong when you said...", "You were right when you said...". Never knew where "manic depression's a frustrated mess" came from until listening to BFJ's Jimi Hendrix choice.

You were right when you said all that glitters isn't gold -- ??
You were right when you said all we are is dust in the wind -- Kansas
You were right when you said we're all just bricks in the wall -- Pink Floyd
And when you said manic depression's a frustrated mess -- Hendrix

You were right when you said you can't always get what you want -- Stones
You were right when you said it's a hard rain's gonna fall -- Dylan
You were right when you said were still running against the wind -- Seger
Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone -- Mellencamp (Cougar)
You were right when you said this is the end -- Doors

I can't figure out the glitters is gold one. A google search tuns up a song by a country artist named Dan Seals:

Any of you guys with country chops know this song? It's very sweet, but the hook doesn't make me say "Oh, yeah, THAT song."

I almost went with the Mothership. Put the pull of the cape was just too much...

plus with James, I get the JBs.

"Get up, Stand up", by Bob Marley has the line too.

Zep was '71. Burnin' is 73.

guys... GUYS! i have a fucking great idea...

Let's write a letter to Mr. Spill and ask him which song influenced that lyric!

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:17 pm

It's Mr THE Spill.

I mean I'm not touching Mariah Carey (particularly after Derek Jeter had his turn), but I probably would've gone with a Tears for Fears greatest hits. Pretty sure Jeter never tagged Roland Orzabal. Maybe Curt Smith though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:26 pm

There's another pretty famous one that I would definitely put in the first round with a greatest hits option but I can't figure out what to do with any one album

Good god....my turn again?

Now....question for the commissioner: Does that also give me New Order?

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Mar 02, 2018 8:49 pm

I lean towards Curtis being >50% of Joy Division and calling New Order unique.
