I agree. I rocked out to this big time in the 80's. All those dudes (read: chud) shitting on people picking non-Paul's Boutique Beastie Boys weren't there, man.

And Girls happens to be one of my 11 year old daughter's fave songs, so there.

McCarthy - Red Sleeping Beauty

That was his song of the moment pick. I should have drafted it and held it hostage in exchange for him drafting some songs I love everyone else hates

Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield - What Have I Done To Deserve This
Actually a really good pick. I love this song.

I almost picked this every round since the 3rd.

I was tempted.

Real American is not my 10th round pick, but now I kind of wish it was.

Although I play that song whenever I assign A Model of Christian Charity' (the sermon where the phrase 'city on a hill' comes from). So the glory that is Hulk Hogan is being passed on to the next generation

You just can't go wrong with any Beastie's tune. I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Wow. Okay, Straight Outta Compton was going to be my pick this round. And Fairytale of NY was on my list. I really thought it would slip through and I could pick it up in the 10th. Man... two of my planned final four are gone.

Have to recalibrate.

Great work everyone. Some excellent picks. And some stuff I look forward to listening to.

I loved Licensed to Ill when I was 8 years old. Then I realized everything after it is in a whole 'nother league.

At the end of the day though, this is true.
