Love the list. And I was super bummed that Different Class wasn't a '96 release. Almost picked it as my album.

Yeah, that's a great playlist.

34 minutes left!!!

Oh man it was close till this morning. Then a runaway.

I admit my taste is not for everyone. Hope there's more discussion on future matchups, I kinda like getting everyone's thoughts behind their votes

Now that its over ... aside from the weird (but not bad) opener, I have a feeling I'd have Shirley's beating almost anyone.

Posted: **Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:26 am**

Yeah lets bring this shit baby ... Duff (1996) vs Ched (2007).

Posted: **Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:31 am**

This one looks super close at first glance.

And you picked second in the draft I assume?

Posted: **Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:33 am**

I actually picked 1st and it might be more clear why I was asking about Spotify vs wiki release year when mine goes up.

Updated: Green means mix has been submitted, blue is the live matchup.

Posted: **Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:52 am**

Okay, I'm back after a week off the grid. A few thoughts/questions ...

1. Somehow I got a bye to the second round, so I assume I can still submit a list?

2. What are you folks using to find out what albums came out in a particular month? Are you using Spotify for that, or something like google, and then using Spotify for the playlist?

3. It figures that I picked a year when I was away in law school and didn't listen to any new music. So this will be a challenge.

4. When you folks talk about how you still buy music from artists you like, how are you buying them? CDs? Paid downloads from a band's website?

5. Talk about truth in advertising - this is a *really* dumb way to pass time. I love it.

I believe we're using Spotify dates for album releases, and it's year, not month, that you need to be concerned about. If you don't have Spotify, can't make a playlist, Rass will do it for you. I buy vinyl every now and then, but generally use Spotify for day to day listening. Yes, it's gloriously dumb.

I did a few Googles around "best albums of 1998" and read multiple lists. Then I used that to find good, representative songs from Spotify from those albums (the ones I actually knew).

Posted: **Mon Jul 06, 2020 12:14 pm**

Yeah, I get/got most of my new music from KEXP so I did a lot of work tracking down their top albums of 2007 (which is no longer on the site) plus Pitchfork plus my iTunes library.

I went down the wiki list of every album released that year per that list, picked about 25/30 that I liked from bands I liked and then pared it down from there. I had a great 16 song playlist that eventually became my list of 7.

I buy music on vinyl and stream on youtube/spotify/amazonmusic.

Posted: **Mon Jul 06, 2020 1:21 pm**

Since one of us is now on the hook for his second playlist, are there final rules yet?

(This is still the first round though, so that person should probably get to do whatever he wants)

Posted: **Mon Jul 06, 2020 1:27 pm**

I haven't listened to them yet, but Duff has Bulls on Parade and 46 & 2 - two Hall of Famers in the starting lineup. Chedda betta be well-coached and have a good system.

And he's got The Good Life, which is definitely my favorite of his tracks.

Posted: **Mon Jul 06, 2020 1:47 pm**

I'm a sucker for a riff. And also Billy Joel.

I also think every movie should start with Stayin Alive regardless of plot relevance.

Yup, didn't recognize the title, but know the song. And I missed Criminal in there too! Sorry, Chedda. I'll give your list a listen too, but you've got a tough matchup!

I was in the lead by 5, commend Duff on his list, and now I'm down!

chedda's addition of Good to Sea at the end was the deciding factor.

This is a great list to put on shuffle and enjoy. It is a go to at work all the time.

Chedda takes it in what was the toughest matchup for me personally.

Welp if the goal was to get you to listen to some new tunes, I crushed it.

Posted: **Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:20 pm**

Really even match for me, between Rush and DiS. The era I first really got into music vs. what was big for me in high school. Slight nod to DiS.

Posted: **Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:24 pm**

The truly embarrassing part is not just that there are lists where I don't recognize a single song, but how many of those lists there are.

This one is out there for me too. Gonna have to have a good listen.

Posted: **Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:46 pm**

Despite the lack of variety, have to go DiS here. This is the soundtrack to me discovering weed and beer.

Posted: **Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:48 pm**

I think Rush has my top two songs of the 14, but then DIS has the next 6 at least. Although I am re-listening to both just to confirm.

Yet another dumb question from the old guy - are the playlists linked anywhere? Or do I need to scroll back through the threads to find the competitors' lists?
