Satisfaction was the first overall pick in the Classic Rock Draft but fell to #9 here. Odd.
It's no Gimme Shelter or Sympathy for the Devil, but it's the song that made the Stones the Stones.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I would have been fine getting albert pujols with the 10th pick"You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

Was hoping 'Tumbling Dice' would make it back, nice pick.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

"Happy" is in my top 5 Stones songs.. I always dig a Keith Richards vocal."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Drafts like this are kinda hard for me in that I can't separate my annoyance of how often some of these songs are played on the radio from how good they actually are. All my favorite Stones tunes are the ones that are either rarely/moderately played on the radio or not played at all. That being said, I probably would've taken "You Can't Always Get What You Want" if it had slipped to the #3 pick since "Waiting on a Friend" would've had a better chance of slipping to the 2nd round.
So far I'm pleased by the "YCAGWYW" and "Happy" picks and uninspired by "Honky Tonky Women" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash". The rest may be overplayed on the radio but still resonate with me.

The book "The Rough Guide to the Rolling Stones" is a nice easy read, briefly describing the details behind the albums, songs, etc.

Is anyone else listening to the Stones right now?"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

I went and added the rolling stones to everyone of my pandora channels right when we first started talking about this draft.
Other than KNBR, the fifty thousand watt flamethrower, or npr, i havent listened to a radio station that isnt based on a college campus in probably 10 years, so i dont suffer from the "overplayed on the radio" syndrome for the Stones. In fact, the last rolling stones song i heard on the radio was probably a gimme shelter mashup im trying to find."You know what's wrong with America?
