I thought there was no way this was a worthy pick for that category until I checked the list. Holy ****, the Hot 100 is Hot Garbage.

I'm not a pop music fan in general, so I'd agree.

Lose Yourself has mass appeal. It works as a motivational anthem or just a party banger.

On a deeper level, if you listen carefully the lyrics are extremely clever from a rhyme scheme perspective.

I agree, especially on your last point, which is a big part of what makes Eminem Eminem.

I was just surprised that, with 18 years of #1 songs, someone would say that was the best one. Then I looked at the list.

word to the wise: filthy does not send reminder PMs and doesn't like to receive them either.

So it's bad luck nich and eleanor, but I think this will go better if they PM each other to say "filthy's up" and that way they'll know they're up soon.

I’m happy getting 3 category #1 picks so far but the talk about ****ty songs has me worried; tho I guess they can only rank the ****ty songs against each other so won’t be too bad

I'm not in a rush to pick my song and I don't think you should be either Nich. Let us not forget our performance in the Walrus.

Filthy is on his sleep time til 5 PM so we're well away from skipping his turn.

Eleanor can still pick a 2nd round selection at any time.

kitchen sink does this count? You need it to prepare food, clean etc

Sink and fridge a clear top 2 imo. But I don't think I'm judging it

Can’t cook without a range; there is a reason fire was the greatest human discovery

Writeup for it will happen, but you aren’t baking or boiling or broiling or steaming or stir frying or a lot of other stuff without the range

The range is a phrase ive never heard before used in this way
Pogcathlon Grab Bag Draft Thread - Game B Quote

Range is stove and oven put together, like the picture I posted

It’s what most people just call stove or oven but technically range is the right term

Kitchen sink definitely counts. And having access to clean water in the kitchen is clutch.

Eleanor will be on the clock as soon as filthy makes a 3rd round pick.

Maybe I should have picked the floor of the kitchen. Good luck cooking above a gaping abyss.

Don’t worry, my butler’s pantry and my wine bar right off the kitchen both have sinks

The Terror of War

I’ll take my reason why directly from Time Magazine.

Ut’s photo of the raw impact of conflict underscored that the war was doing more harm than good. It also sparked newsroom debates about running a photo with nudity, pushing many publications, including the New York Times, to override their policies. The photo quickly became a cultural shorthand for the atrocities of the Vietnam War and joined Malcolm Browne’s Burning Monk and Eddie Adams’ Saigon Execution as defining images of that brutal conflict.

When President Richard Nixon wondered if the photo was fake, Ut commented, “The horror of the Vietnam War recorded by me did not have to be fixed.” In 1973 the Pulitzer committee agreed and awarded him its prize. That same year, America’s involvement in the war ended.

If this is for my category, it only works if he legally changed his name to that. No nicknames, which includes stage names.

Looks like a stage name, not legally changed
