I do remember once shouting The Reflex down at a club - some of were whining so loudly that the DJ pulled it
I'd like to say is 'Rio' is THE quintessential 80s LP but we all know what that one was, and everyone seems to be avoiding it in this draft. But don't look at me to pick it... never even listened to it straight through, much less own it.One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

Duran Duran....BLECH! Never never never liked them...damn catchy??? Not for me. I'd flip off MTV every time one of their videos came on...especially that gawd awful Rio.
I had Mellon Collie on my mid-list, and was also starting to think I was going to have to take it to be sure it was drafted. I was starting to think it was taken, doubting my own record keeping.
Too Much Joy...I wouldn't have guessed with 300 guesses one of their albums would be taken. I didn't think they were all that. I love the song "Seasons in the Sun" off the selected album. I may need to relisten to that album...time to dig out a cassette player!Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

Being into Duran Duran got me laid in 1982. I'm not kidding. That was one of the great things about new wave, it combined music and hot chicks for once. The stuff I was into in the mid-to-late 70s (prog rock, punk) was like kryptonite to girls. Where I came from all the hotties were into disco and dancing. New wave was really the first time us rock guys got to dance like mad in clubs with real girls.One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

Love love love..."Hold back the rain" from RIO.Last edited by Mithrandir; 11-30-2013, 10:47 PM."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."

About time someone took Mellon Collie, great album. I considered not taking Siamese Dream in the 4th round because I knew I could wait on it, but didn't expect it fall this far.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.

Screw the haters DMT! What do they know.
Mellon Collie was the last on my long list that I had figured WOULD be selected.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

Nice pick on Singles, I'd totally forgot about that.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.
