    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.
    Found it, gimme shelter + mogwai! Frakkng ipad wont let me paste, but google gimme_freaks.mp3 if you are interested

      I was hoping to grab Tumbling Dice and Happy on the turn. An then Angie then next time round - I didn't think it would go this early. Guh, first pick was the sh!ttiest draw possible in this draft... :grumble grumble:

      Gimme Shelter was the one I nearly took at #1.

        My one Stones show. It was damn good for a stadium show, but I don't need to see them again because they're so freaking expensive.

          Damn, i missed this one. Just got back from 2 1/2 weeks in Costa Rica, that's why I didn't participate in the Australia draft either.

          But thanks for considering me guys, I really wanted to do this one! I'll catch up with the picks tomorrow and do some critiquing.

            hmmmm, participating in two double-fake drafts or spending 18 days in paradise? I'm sure you didn't miss your fugazy internet friends!

              We're only mid-2nd....if you want just pick 2 songs and slot in at the back end.

                  Yeah, let us know if you wanna do that.

                  A couple of my friends were just in CR as well, mainly for the Jungle Jam music festival. Did you go to that?

                    Can't You Hear Me Knocking might be my favorite Stones song. Mick Taylor's finest moment. I held off with my first two picks because I'd taken it in the Classic Rock Draft, but I would have taken it had it come back to me again.

                      I didn't remember you taking it in the CRD, but I was afraid if I waited any longer it might be gone. It was about the only "must have" for me.

                        Yep, pretty late, sometime after round 20. The Stones were one of the bands I waited on.

                          Thought about "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" but it would've been more about gaining kudos since it's a song I like rather than love. Solid pick.

                            Thanks again guys, but it's too late, it's ok.

                            I thought "Gimme Shelter" would've been a slam dunk #1 on this board, surprised to see it go kinda late. It's a song that's grown in stature over the last 25 years or so, sort of like the Beatles "In My Life", or "It's A Wonderful Life" in moviedom.

                            "(Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo) Heartbreaker" would have killed me going so early... #5 overall! It's always been a huge favorite of mine and I thought you could wait until Round 2 or so to grab it.

                            "Satisfaction" could've/should've been #1 too, easily.

                            Never cared at all for "You Can't Always Get What You Want", sorry Sheep!

                            Love me some "Monkey Man", "Happy", "Bitch" and especially "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"... all would have been in my Top 10.

                            My big sleeper hasn't gone yet, might be a while.

                            Erik: I know nothing about any Jungle Jam... on Thursday we did watch a traditional Costa Rican music revue at a carnival in the boondock farming town of Matapalo, if that counts! We were blitzed out of our minds that night, the only four sunburned gringos in attendance; but all the folks around us were more than friendly and beaming with pride when we applauded and whooped it up... great night.
