New Draft! "Other" Songs - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

It's time we do our favorite songs draft again...but this time, it's the ones we left off of this draft when we did it the first time.

The only rule is, if you participated in the previous draft 8 years ago, you CANNOT choose any of the songs chosen in said draft, by anyone. You must choose "other" songs.

Hell, even if you weren't in that draft, you can't choose any of those songs, either.

I figure there are so many songs out there, this shouldn't be hard.

Who's in?

Since the spreadsheet for the previous draft no longer exists, I guess the easiest way to see if a song had been drafted in that thread is to use the search function.

I'm in!

But it is gonna be a lot of work to figure out what was and what was not picked in that draft? At the end I did post the top 100 though but I think we went 25 rounds or some ridiculous number so the top 100 hardly dents it

like I said, just search the old thread for the song you want to pick...should take about 20 seconds

Still gonna be confusing. Lots of kibitzers posting stuff after the fact and people listing what they didn't pick at the end

LOLZ, I listened to that several times when it was posted. Not what I was expecting at all.

btw, in, of course.

Can we post covers of songs from the first draft that are substantially different?

I think "song" is pretty broad and should entail everything. I plan on brushing up on my Gregorian Chants

I'll zig much harder this time

That list includes all of the drafts. It won't be hard to figure out what I picked.

If you are in do not **** it up. Songs should not be posted yet.

That would have been my first pick.... maybe.

He already posted a song a couple of days ago. Nobody said anything--nothing to see here. See ya tomorrow.
