Best Decade Tournament - 70s: Delima Wins!

[PryTo]

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

FTFY

Grateful Dead - Truckin'

What a long, strange draft it's been...

You need to pick my man.

[PryTo]

stip posted my #8, although it's not on the first page yet. I'm pretty sure I'm okay, but I have my ninth pick ready to go.

Oh, maybe that was directed to Lament. I'm cornfused.

Lament picks:



Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Oliver's Army

[stip]

And I take:



Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft

Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft

*kicks self repeatedly for not taking this earlier

[PryTo]

If you've never heard Larry Graham play bass before you should really dig into his post-Sly and the Family Stone band, Graham Central Station. He basically invented funk bass as Flea knows it. Lot of great material in there. This song is insane, closer to a Hendrix rock vibe than most GCS material.



Graham Central Station - Earthquake

And I take:



Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft

Great great tune. Gotta love that wucka-wucka-wucka guitar. I was tossing up between this and 'Papa Was a Rollin' Stone' at #3.

I contemplated taking it with my first pick, and a few other rounds, and just never pulled the trigger. Great grab this late, stip!

My #10 pick has been set in stone since this whole she-bang started, so this pick was really my 'last choice', and man was that hard. Such a fantastic decade of tuneage! Ima going with another new entrant to this tourney:

Supertramp - Give a Little Bit

I couldn't find a decent youtube vid that I was happy with, so I've uploaded a mp3.

[stip]

This is your 9 pick, though

[William Bloke]

Yep, and that's why it was so tough. My #10 pick was set in stone years before I was even a scratch in my Dad's jocks.

[stip]

Gotch

I'm curious what made it your #10 pick from the beginning. Is it a "guilty pleasure" kind of song? Just something you don't think anyone else will draft, making it safer to sit on it?

[stip]

The reaction to my 10th pick in the 60 s has me gunshy

Not a guilty pleasure, no guilt involved, but one of my all time faves that I know won't be highly valued around these parts by most. But everytime I head it, it's just my song.

Yeah, that was a bit of a shocker though. You'd absolutely get away with a similar pick much easier in the 70's tourney though.
