Great pick with the Star Spangled Banner Steve!! What a monster epic version of that tune! Best.ever.

[DMT]

Just a couple of fun facts about Sky Pilot other than the obvious important Vietnam era anti-war protest song.

It was one of the first 45's released in the US in Stereo. It was so long it was both the A and B sides (you had to turn it over to hear the whole song). Also because of it's length it did not get a lot of air play or make AM top 40 lists.

I don't think I'd ever heard that one, nice pick!

Ah Leah...blast from the past man!

I shoulda known revo would take that song. I mean, he has to support the musicians who are also financial guys!

Once "Lust for Life" was picked, I figured "Passenger" would go soon after.

Good job guys - I will scour your list for gems

Just a reminder...swampy set the over/under at 483 songs ultimately being taken, and DMT took the over. We are almost there.

Heck once DMT took the over it was an easy call for me. I figured he and I could get to that even if everybody dropped out (not that anyone would) or didn't sign up.

You guys had a lot of strong picks tonight while I was gone. Nice job.

Easy money...

And I get rewarded by having another pick snaked! ("Lust for Life")

"Heroes" and "Sweet Home Alabama" are great picks. Plenty of classic rock in this thing I've never heard since I mostly only know the radio stuff aside from my favorites (Zeppelin, Stones, Neil Young, etc) When this thing's over I'll have to go back and check them out.

[chancellor]

And I see Lucky snuck in my favorite Robin Trower tune.

[Redbirds Fan]

Great pick with Heroes. I love the 2002 Berlin version.

Numbering on the list got thrown off with multiple 467 and 468s

I fixed the numbering ... should all be good now

[johnnya24]

Nice grab with Crazy ... song's like that are easy to overlook.
