Best Decade Tournament - 70s: Delima Wins!

[William Bloke]

Kaius has another 45 minutes and then I'm going to post stip's (real) pick.

[Lament]

Whoa. And then I can pick. And then DSB's Tom Petty pick can become real and I won't have to worry that I fucked the whole draft up with that one post...

[William Bloke]

It's all good. Breathed a bit of life into this sooooo sssllloooooowwwwwww drafting process.

Pick management, people's!

[Lament]

So what's Stip's real pick gonna be?

[William Bloke]

Stip takes Led Zep - Stairway to Heaven. In his words "a cliche, but for all the right reasons".

I'll take a liberty here with the vid though and instead of posting the classic original that we all know, let's have a look at Heart (with Jason Bonham on drums) performing it at 2012's Kennedy Centre Honors, in front of the remaining members of Led Zep. I think their reactions highlight stip's words pretty well - cliche, yes. Powerful as hell too. How cool to of created such a beast as this.

[Lament]

Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up

[Lament]

And I suppose that this is where DSB's Tom Petty pick becomes real. So now it's bada's turn twice, correct?

[William Bloke]

YES!! And I have both those as well (for reals...)

Bada goes with:

ZZ Top - La Grange


And then:

Bad Company - Feel Like Makin' Love


Who's next?

[Lament]

Varis, did we skip over PryTo?

[Lament]

So I think PryTo still has to make his 8th pick (oops), and then DSB can make his 9th. But I could be wrong...

[William Bloke]

It's their own fault - they left the lunatics in charge if the asylum!

Apologies for the fuck up there peoples...

Carry on...

[Lament]

I think PryTo's tastes are too good to have wanted any of the five songs that were taken in the wake of him being skipped over.

[Kaius]

Sorry guys, I passed out! I fully expected to be up late, so I didn't pm any of my picks...



Bob Marley & the Wailers- No Woman No Cry

[William Bloke]

Nice pick. And it's also an interesting segue into kinda explaining my part in the recent fuck-ups in this thread... You see, I was thinking that I should have a bit of reggae myself in my team, to balance it out and also for the Jah-boost that we could all use, amirite? And so I went deep into research and threw on a playlist of Marley, Tosh, Junior Murvin and all that crew, and sparked up some spliffage to aid the search for inspirado. So it's all the wicked 'erb's fault, aii.

And specific apology to PryTo as it was I who went ahead and posted up stip's pick willy-nilly once Kaius' time was up. But I'm fairly sure you be cool as I very much suspect that this is very true:

I think PryTo's tastes are too good to have wanted any of the five songs that were taken in the wake of him being skipped over.

So now it's PryTo (8th) and then DSB (9th)to catch up yeah?

Can you dig it?

[Kaius]

Ummmmmm.....

I don't actually know what to say at this point.

I really wanted "The Pina Colada Song"...

lol

Well, that's too damn bad!

Ok. Then Kaius takes "Knock Three Times" by Tony Orlando & Dawn.



Varis, you can have "Escape."

Oh, ok ... well ... *hits play* ... ok,.. mmhmm ... OK! ... YEAH!

OK, that's cool then.

Kaius is gonna be pissed though - that song is choice.

It really is ...

[stip]

I have pryto's pick which I'll post in a few minutes. Then we are back to dsb

[stip]

Pryto: Linda Ronstadt - Willin'
