Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - BFJ (329th) + SKIP J-LO (324/325th)
Moderators: Shirley, Sabo, brian, rass, DaveInSeattle
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick 1-5 BFJ
This draft is a lot less quantifiable, and I think no one would have been shocked if you had gone with The National super early and therefore probably not mocked you (and least not in any stronger terms than Shirley's recent "hispter" comment).
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick 1-5 BFJ
Any of the three original releases can go in this pick, so I went with the original, the one that introduced the world to the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Hard to argue with this track list.
"Purple Haze"
"Manic Depression"
"Hey Joe"
"Love or Confusion"
"May This Be Love"
"I Don't Live Today"
Side two
"The Wind Cries Mary"
"Fire"
"Third Stone from the Sun"
"Foxy Lady"
"Are You Experienced?"
BFJ is the town wizard who runs a magic shop. He also has a golem that he has trained to attack anti-Semites.
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick 1-6 YA BOY
So even though I came to it about 8 years late, this is my best combination of personal love, overall acclaim and won't be here in the next round considerations ...
- I badly want to circumvent my own rules and pick the 20th anniversary re-release to get "Lift" added on but I'll play it straight.
- At what point does a certain band equal Aaron Rodgers here?

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
HOTH is objectively not LZ's 5th or 6th best album.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick 1-6 YA BOY
There goes one of my 3 remaining hopes for my second pick. I would've gone In Rainbows, (or maybe The Bends), but I can't argue with picking this one.mister d wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 3:07 pm So even though I came to it about 8 years late, this is my best combination of personal love, overall acclaim and won't be here in the next round considerations ...

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
I would've taken it at 3 but I really had to be sure I got Frank.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
So like 7 out of 9 then?
Personally, I think of it in the 4/5 range. Some ranking done for nostalgic reasons.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
Don't be offended -I would call the top 4 "Absolute Classics" the next 3 as "Great albums" and the last one as "better than all but a couple Stones albums."

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
I'm considering quitting The Swamp over the low ratings of Zeppelin II.
Totally Kafkaesque
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
I feel ya, plus the added insult of IV being in the top half...

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
Side two of IV is better than any side of the albums I ranked below it. Yeah, I'm with you on the overrated nature of Black Dog, Rock and Roll and certainly Stairway to Heaven...
Maybe I'd switch House of the Holy with IV, but that second side of IV could be their best side to an LP they ever did. I'm tempted to say side 3 of Physical Graffiti, but nah. I tend to think of Physical Graffiti as a whole four sided effort.*
*My rankings definitely reflect radio-overplay fatigue from my youth in the late 70s until the hair bands pushed Zeppelin off the radio by the mid 80s.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
I am getting nervous that my hopeful 1st rounder will still be there. Radiohead going hurts the most, but they were never failing to 16. And it would have been The Bends for me followed by OK Computer.
To quote both Bruce Prichard and Tony Schiavone, "Fuck Duff Meltzer."
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
This scene always pissed me off, because Kashmir isn't on that album.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
The Beatles. the White Album
I wanted to go with them, but had a hard time picking the particular album.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
Aw, my junior year of college, every week night at around 10:30, we'd smoke a joint, have a glass of JW Black, and play a game of Trivial Pursuit whilst listening to the White Album.
Also, Rocky Raccoon is one of my best 5 or 6 songs on the piano.

You guys knew how to party.
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
I almost felt compelled to pick them given that they're probably our most played artist over the last 18 months here but it just didn't feel right.
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
Also why I hardly ever got laid in college.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-8 DAVE in SEA***
Damn SC. I didn’t really think they would fall to me, but I did have a draft strategy for the first two rounds built around the possibility they would.
I guess I need another one.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-7 SANCARLOS***
Summer '82. Saw it around the time it came out with the only guy who was old enough to drive me and my friends to see it (we were 12 at the time).
I had all the Zeppelin cassettes by that time, and wondered if the director was trolling us.*
*I didn't think in the terms of 'trolling', because that hadn't entered my (or, I think anybody's) vocabulary at that point in time.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-8 DAVE in SEA***
Not a huge fan of the album as a whole but Blackbird would be in the running for my first pick in a song draft so I’ll be visiting SC Cabin for that alone.

I'm going to stand on a street corner all day tomorrow and Friday, passing out copies of both of those interviews to passers by.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-8 DAVE in SEA***
Could you post that again but change it to “I’ll be visiting SC Cabin for that Beatles song alone”? No reason.
Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick ***1-8 DAVE in SEA***
Wow. Really thought SC was going to go alt country with that pick. Really thought I had a chance with what I knew of the musical tastes of those picking before me.
