NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – DDU-DU DDU-DU PHASE TWENTY-TWO!

[ajgoal]

My poor pup has a cyst on her neck that popped today. The vet was great and did a nice job cleaning it up and all but now she is glued to my lap and won’t let me move.

Feel better Ozzy!

 

[BiggE]

Ozzy update: still very clingy but other than that she’s acting pretty normal. Wound is looking a little better too. Gonna sit with her all day, then it’s the wife’s turn cause I got a gig tonight. She’s sleeping on my leg right now.

Thanks for all the well wishes, it’s really appreciated!

FOG Team Album II

TEARS FOR FEARS - SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR

Another one of the best albums of the 80's, packed with some of the decades biggest hits and great from start to finish.







They have a few great albums and the one they released last year was really good too, but this one is a classic.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I have Asnito's picks:

Team Author - John Steinbeck

Team Book - Grapes of Wrath

He said that I could make my own comments about these picks - which, I mean, no doi - but he did a good job for once.

By the way, this is something I have spent years and years thinking about, and that is the No. 1 quintessential 80s song. It boils down to that and my favorite song ever, "I Melt With You," but that one takes it.

Yep, Everybody Wants to Rule the World is the best song of the decade for me too, and I f***ing love 80's music. The variety is unmatched by any other decade. I Melt With You rules too, of course.

One that I feel is underrated and stylistically in the same vein of those too is Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House.

It's not the best, but the most representative of the decade. The best is ... basically impossible to pin down.

That's fair. For me it's both lol. Not by a landslide or anything, but I can't think of a song more deserving from my perspective.

Sticking with music, the FOG select

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST - AWARD TOUR

As Team Music Video II



Back in '89, I simply slid into place
Buddy, buddy, buddy all up in your face
A lot of kids was busting rhymes but they had no taste
Some said Quest was wack, but now is that the case
I have a quest to have a mic in my hand
Without that, it's like Kryptonite and Superman

RIP Phife Dawg

Absolutely goofy and dumb to act like the best song of the 80s (or the most iconic, or the most "80s") wasn't on Thriller. Take your pick. And I f***ing hate that guy, but seriously. Take your pick. There's even an EVH solo on one of them for all you tightpants boyrock bozos.

Now, as for the most explicitly 1980s thing from a non-1980s artist:



I usually laugh out loud sometime in the first minute.

The 80s suck almost as bad as the 70s

In contrast, this is a terrible song.

Thriller is probably thee greatest music video ever made. Scratch that, it's the best. John Landis directed, Quincy Jones produced, and makeup by Rick Baker. Outrageous.

Also, different album but if a Wedding DJ doesn't play

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough

they should be dragged out of the venue and tossed in the dirt.

I'm on it Cap'n.

“For our Team Album II – and the Lord knows we don’t even remember what we chose for Team Album I – we are very pleased to select what we consider to be a remarkable collection of masterpieces: Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

“From the haunting opening of Funeral for a Friend, Elton John’s eclectic style shines through the 17 tracks of this double LP (look it up, kids). GYBR was Mr. John’s seventh studio album, released in 1973, and has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. It contains the hit songs Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting, @bennysflyers16 and the Jets, Candle in the Wind, the title song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding.






“It also contains lesser-known treasures such as Grey Seal, All the Girls Love Alice, and I’ve Seen That Movie Too. “GYBR was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003 and was ranked 112th in the revised 2020 Rolling Stone list of 500 greatest albums. Then again, who cares what Rolling Stone says?

“Don't give us none of your aggravation, we've had it with your discipline. @Strawberry Fields alright for drafting, get a little picking in.”

Cap isn't gonna like this pick but I love it.

Cap's allowed to be wrong occasionally.

@DancingPanther loves him some Elton too.

“All the Girls Love Alice” is the best banger (not song, banger, I says) Elton ever wrote. Change my mind. Okay, “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” is a supreme banger too off that album. But “Alice” has the better riff. I could listen to that on an endless loop.

“Sweet Painted Lady” is my other favorite off that album, past all the hits.

You are essentially calling me and Rebel "goofy" and "dumb" lolz. That's why we rope off this thread.

There's an Abb in Alice. Great song. Bernie rules for those lyrics. Proud plat. So does @BernieParent obviously

My favorite off Yellow Brick Road, by far actually, is Dirty Little Girl. One of my fav Elton songs

Went to my wife's cousin's wedding two summers ago. So a wedding is supposed to be the bride's big day? Nah. This suave-ass Filipino king said f*** that, popped the jacket off the second the DJ started on his Jackson block and just started nailing every MJ dance move. Pinpoint shit. Throwin' gnarly crotch grabs and dropping a clean moonwalk at his own reception. Absolute star. Never seen anything like it. None of that sentimental wedding bullshit, just pure white hot dance fever. Shit was tough.

Noting that we share "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" now, @BernieParent.
