Insert Frontman Here

Since it seems the listening party will be hard to come by (we will do it this year.  lets try that) I'm posting my album onto the draft.  Make a playlist and listen in awe.

I had a lot of fun and will post more comments after I get to listen to all your albums.

1.  Do It For The Kids - VR from Contraband
2.  Rocket Queen - GNR from Ape-tit
3.  Yesterdays - GNR from UYI 2
4.  Sweet Child O' Mine - self explanatory
5.  Loving the Alien - VR from Contraband
6.  Mary Mary - VR from Libertad
7.  My Michelle - GNR from Ape-tit
8.  Bad Obsession - GNR from UYI 1
9.  Superhuman - VR from Contraband
10.  Nice Boys - GNR from GNR Lies


oh, and PS, the post title is my album name

Final pick

This was my hardest pick. I just couldn't decide on anything. I narrowed it down and I knew I wanted something from velvet revolver, so I chose AMERICAN MAN

AND I'M OUT

Sorry for the delay.  I forgot to text Tim to let him know it was his pick.  Anyway here is his pick.  And I like it.

AND I'M OUT
I will end my draft with Out To Get Me because I am so innocent

You Guys Owe Me Some Better Picks

So I don't know if any of you have listened to Chinese Democracy. It's kind of a hot mess, but in a good way. After 15 years or however long it obviously couldn't live up to any hype it had, nor does it compare to any of the work with the original lineup. But the songs are so big and so far out there that it's certainly a curiousity worth listening to. Choice quote from a Rolling Stone review:

"Most of these songs also go through multiple U-turns in personality, as if Rose kept trying new approaches to a hook or a bridge and then decided,'What the hell, they're all cool.'"

So I don't mind ending with a Chinese Democracy track, though I would have loved a total of 12 songs so I could have taken an extra VR song and another Use Your Illusion song as well. I'll take this song, which is perhaps the most straight-forward on the disc and also probably the most catchy: I.R.S.

You've got some fucking attitude

For my cover song, I really would have wanted Live and Let Die in the 3rd or 4th round. Since Ian took it so quickly, I had to go to The Spaghetti Incident, which I never bothered to look at before this draft. I didn't realize that they had 2 of my favorite punk songs on there! I would have taken I Don't Care About You, which is formerly by Fear... but realized there is a hidden track after it, so I disqualified it. Instead, I'm taking the Misfits cover, Attitude. Which is really short for a GnR song.

Well, well, well.

Two picks to round out my draft.  Yet to take anything off UYI 2, so I'll finally represent with Yesterdays.

And yes Dorian, I considered taking night train.  Though in the car ride this morning I actually decided to take a different Ape-Tit song.  My Michelle.

I'll comment on your picks as we finish, but nice draft everyone.

My cover will be next

This was one of the hardest picks, since this is the last unrestricted pick I can make, and I know Milhouse won't pick the cover songs I'd choose from, but he might pick this song cause I've heard him listen to it. This should not be a 9th rounder. I'm on the Nightrain!
