CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

John Cougar Lunchbucket
Nov 09 2011 03:06 PM

16 players!

Here's the rules: We'll run the draft with 1 pick for one trip up and down the ladder in the randomized order below.

Very simple, pick a song you think will score highest in the Q104.3 countdown over thanksgiving weekend. After we run 1-16 and 16 back to 1, we'll start round 2 making 2 picks each up, then 3 back down each. That gives everyone 6 songs to root for, and I think is kind of fair (or maybe not, we can adjust the last round if nec.).

After that, you can choose 3 songs for your 500-750-1,000 sharpshooting, whenever you have 'em, all at once. I'm still figuring out if that should be a separate championship or integrating it somehow with the main contest.

Start picking as soon as it's your turn.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

I don't understand. If MetsGuyinMich, for example, picks Stairway to Heaven, is that song then off the board? Or can someone else also pick that same song? Also, how does one get points? How does one win this thing? You left these things out. Where's the rest of the rules? And where's Leiter? How come he's not playing? Who's gonna dis-invite me for pie?

This ain't right.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

Yes, once a song is claimed it's out. The object is to gather a "team" of songs that have the lowest combined score in the top 1043.

The post-draft phase 2 is target practice where you select the song that finishes closest to 500, 750 and 1000 in the countdown.

If Mole or LWFS or anyone else not yet signed up wants to participate they can, I'll tack them on end until we get through 1 round of pixx.

ah ok, makes some sense now, basically try and draft what we think is the best team?

WOuldnt that give us 12 songs (2 first round, 4 second round, 6 third round)? Just want to be sure I'm clear.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

Maybe. I never said I was good at math.

2 in first round, 4 in round 2, no need for a 3-pick ride down.

I predict that you will win this contest -- mainly because the draft slotting is highly, highly, highly (did I say highly?) skewed to favor the first few pickers, but especially the first (that's you) -- and coupled with the fact that you've made strong picks, so far -- though the first pick was essentially a gimme -- but that's why picking first is an immense advantage -- the difference between picking first and second here is greater than the difference between any other two consecutive slots -- but we shall see -- you also pick last -- and by the time we get to those picks, there is tremendous unpredictability.

This is like any fantasy draft that I've been in. I actually think that having the wrap around pick at the end is more of an advantage, because as you said, I also pick last, where there is much more unpredictability.

I do have to add that I did win my 1993 Rotisserie League with the first pick, mainly because my last pick just happened to be some rookie catcher named Piazza...

Nov 19 2011 10:49 PM
Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

I'm all mixed up about a coupla things. First off, what's with Leiter picking five songs? Shouldn't he be picking just four? Why should he select a value pick when every other contestant still has two regular picks to select? It seems odd, is all.

Next off -- I was looking at the top 1,043 for Q104.3's 2007 list. This was , I believe (and I might be mistaken, but read on) the source list for our last rawk contest. That list appears to have changed. Lee Michaels' Do you Know What I Mean? is now the 35th song. Lenny Kravitz has the 33rd song; Lita Ford has the 30th. Led Zep dominates the top 20, including You Shook Me at #3 and several others that didn't crack the top 100 the first time around.

http://www.q1043.com/common/top_songs/2007.html?page=11

What gives? Or am I doing something wrong here? Alternate universe? Time travel?

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

Interesting. Yes, we used the 2007 list because that's the one I have bookmarked on my browser. The page format has changed since I last looked at it and so has the content, it looks like.

Clear Channel is pretty much full of shit. Unless someone was listening, no way to prove what was right?

re: LWFS's 5th pick: Lets leave that part till the end, so Yesterday is still in play.


Actually, his Aqualung pick was previously selected, so now what? He essentially made four picks. But if he thought that Yesterday would chart near #1,000, then he probably doesn't want Yesterday as his regular pick.

We need a ruling before we continue. Also, since the playlists are unreliable, I nominate you, JCL, to listen to the whole countdown in order to verify the corresponding list's accuracy.

Everyone, do a quick text search when it's your turn to see whether your song hasn't already been picked.

He may have been thinking that since he was done with the top rawk picking contest, he may as well start with the value picks. As I understand it, they're separate contests, so picking Yesterday for value doesn't take it out of play for top rawk.

Chad Ochoseis
Nov 20 2011 10:00 AM
Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

One rawk contest is never enough, so I think there was an aftercontest going on where we take guesses at the songs that come in 500th, 750th, and 1000th. That might have been what was meant by the value pick.

How is the 500-750-1000 contest going to work? I figured that it doesn't matter, since it's even more luck-influenced than the main contest. We could just throw out three songs each and specify which one is #500, which is #750, and which is #1000.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr
Nov 20 2011 12:27 PM
Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

I mistakenly thought that the fourth round would be a 3-pick round. ("Value pick" just meant I thought "Yesterday" had slipped farther than it should.)

I'll go "Yesterday" for "Aqualung."

Chad Ochoseis
Nov 20 2011 01:13 PM
Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

I believe in Yesterday. But I believe even more in Smoke on the Water as an undervalued pick. Also You Really Got Me (original Kinks, not Van Halen).

With all due respect to Sharpie's rawkiness, I picked Suite: Judy Blue Eyes in one of these contests and it cost me big time. So I'm avoiding picking it, or picking anyone who picked it, just on principle.

Hahn's picks were unglamorous, but solid. There's not a loser in that bunch.

Great job by DGW making the sollid conservative choices necessary to hold the pole position. Most of the rest of us have at least one wild card song that could be top 20 or out of the top 100 altogether. Mags holds pretty solid cards, too.

The song that murdered me last time out was "Born to Be Wild." When I saw it was still on the board in the last round, I bit the bullet and prepared to pick it again. Thankfully, Hahn beat me to the punch, perhaps cued by "Walk on the Wild Side" being played. Good luck to Hahn with that one.

It'll be interesting to see if this countdown is regionally biased. I see A LOT more Bruce on this chart than I hear on my local classic rock radio. Presumably, it is all coming from a satellite somewhere, but I wonder if they replace some Boss songs with some JCM or Dylan for the midwestern feed.

Or perhaps he meant 'Me and You and a Dog Named Coo', a minor mis-spelling of the minor classic by Lobo (and by classic I mean it really wasn't very good)

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

Edited 6 time(s), most recently on Nov 26 2011 10:22 AM

According to the database I compiled the last rawk contest around in order to prove my damn accusations with, as someone here suggested derisively, “geometric precision” (my db consists of the top 100+ songs from the last 10 Q104.3 countdowns and 15 other classic rock countdowns) here are some of the top undrafted songs, in no particular order, based upon the historical data, naturally:

“Time”, Pink Floyd; “Behind Blue Eyes”, The Who: Both are perennial top 100’s of the classic rock holiday countdowns not just in NY, but nationally; both songs finished in the top 100 in nine of the last 10 Q104 countdowns – both songs only top 100 Q104 misses were, coincidentally, in the 2007 countdown that was the basis of our last rawk contest;
Last five Q104 finishes – Time (85/60/36/x/60); BBE (70/81/66/x/75)

“Sweet Emotion”, Aerosmith; top 100 eight out of last 10 Q104 countdowns; avg. finish last 10 years – 74.

“Dazed and Confused” – last five Q104 countdowns –73/87/50/111/82
“Whipping Post” – 88/88/85/70/46
“Bat Out of Hell” – 57/53/29/63/102
“Green Grass and High Tides” – 65/55/62/50/64
“Can’t You Hear Me Knocking?” – 75/54/61/100/87

Odds and Sods

The database – okay – my database - predicts that the batmags will win this contest. Is it okay if I pick myself? Because I can run other algorithms, and instead of picking batmags to win this thing, I can also pick batmags to win this contest. Here’s the board, and accompanying odds based upon running my proprietary formulas against the peekers’s data that I accumulated:

batmagadanleadoff – 9-1 – too much data; to upset bml, the rest of the field's gotta hope for history not to repeat.

DGWphotography – 21-2 – solid picks throughout the draft. And those stabilizing bustling hedgerows. Oh those hedgerows!

LeiterWagner – 12-1 – the draft favored those who picked last; by the time we reached the last double round, the potential disparity in pick values was so great that picking earlier (picking earlier twice) in that last round mattered more than owning Stairway. Leiter picked first (x2)and did not squander his slot.

Jazz Radio DJ – 13-1 – (see Leiter comments) also, nailing Jessica as late as Jazz did might turn out to be the contest’s best pick. The make or break pick here is Don’t Stop Believin’ , Journey; DSB first cracked the Q104 top 100 in 2007 at #74, without doubt riding the pop culture heels of its Sopranos closeout connection. Its next three finishes were 58/37/127. Is DSB a new top 100 staple? Or a fader whose 15 minutes of countdown fame are waning? Beats me. But a strong showing by DSB and Jazz Radio might win this damn contest.

MetsMichigan – 35-2.

Metsmarathon – 25-1

HahnSolo – 55-2 – What? No Low Spark of High Heeled Boys?

ChadOchoseis – 28-1

Sharpie – 30-1 -- The database does not agree with the hype over sharpie’s picks. Mostly, but not all, solid picks, for sure. But there are solider picks.

Centerfield – 35-1

Fman99 – 115-2

TransMonk – 60-1

Frayed Knot, Edgy DC, JCL, 200-1 – the db predicts that it will take a score of no greater than 240 to win this contest, though in all likelihood, the winner will have scored in the 190-210 range. These three will each probably exceed that score with just one song ... surely with two songs.

metirish – 500-1 -- His first two picks were, collectively, about as strong as anybody else’s. But then irish went all irish. Two more rounds and he’da been picking from The Pogues and Bing Crosby’s catalog.

cooby – you pick the odds and we’ll take the action. You wanna bet cooby at three pennies at a billion to one odds? We’ll cover it.

Anything could happen. All it takes is for one or two perennial top 40 songs to finish 40 or 80 slots worse than average and the odds shift dramatically. And that happens in every single countdown. So don't tune out.

Rock Acts Whose Names Begin With The Letter "L"

Most of the historical countdowns on Q104's web site have been corrupted. The 2010 list is one exception that appears to have remained true. Every single mistake that I've personally noticed involves the sudden inclusion of songs by either Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lenny Kravitz, Lita Ford, Little Feat or Lee Michaels.

And we have a Little Wing situation. And another controversy ... I was listening to some of the countdown last night while I was at my computer (there's a link on the Q104 web site for this) and I heard sharpie's pick "Tangled Up in Blue" come on somewhere around the 940's. I also remember hearing The Black Crowes' "Jealous Again". But those songs are not on the countdown list. Go figure. But the larger point is that if the list is inaccurate, then it's unreliable ... and so is the whole contest.

It was a fluky finish. Of the 25 countdowns I tracked in my db , Q104's 2007 is the only countdown where WTTM finished in the top 100. In fact, Q104's 2007 countdown, particularly the top 100 portion, is the most atypical Q104 countdown of the last 10 years. WTTM was an extremely risky pick.

Forget drink, or acid, or, say, snorted dexedrine chased with honest-to-goodness absinthe... I honestly can't conceive of the adulterant I would require to be in the mindset to put this near any sort of "best of" list.

Forget drink, or acid, or, say, snorted dexedrine chased with honest-to-goodness absinthe... I honestly can't conceive of the adulterant I would require to be in the mindset to put this near any sort of "best of" list.

Okay, maybe this makes a "Best of Collective Soul" list.


I recently heard an NPR All Songs Considered show where they talked about the alternative/grunge explosion of the early 90s meaning that one could actually enjoy listening to music on commercial radio again. They cited "Shine" as the moment when that all came to an end.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

So I'm working on work today, and I'm at my computer, and I've got this furshlugginer countdown in the background, and they're about into the 190's and they just played Janis Joplin/Big Brother's Summertime. I heard it with my own ears. Both of them.



But Summertime already charted at #339.

And I heard other anomalies. I'm positive I heard Tangled Up in the Blue in the 900's even though it officially charted at 226. And earlier, I heard Sunshine of Your Love at the#326 slot, even though that song hasn't officially charted yet.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

Now here's a screen shot of the Q104 listen live page. Summertime, which played between Miss You and Locomotive Breath, is omitted.



It would seem that the station is not playing songs exclusively from the countdown. Which, to me, is absurd.

Here's what I mean:


These are the last songs played. But when the DJ announced the latest additions to the countdown, he skipped Suzie Q and New York City, even though those songs were played on Q104, in the order shown, and during the countdown.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

The scoreboard has been modified. The “Worst Possible Score” column is no longer in use. Instead, the db will make reasonable assumptions about which songs are not likely to chart in the top 1,043, and adjust each contestant’s score as necessary. The list of "songs not likely to chart" appears at the bottom of this post, and may change -- either expanding or contracting -- as the countdown unfolds. The db assumes that every song in the list of songs that haven’t yet appeared will ultimately chart somewhere in the countdown.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

I'm splitting for a while. Feel free to pick up the scorekeeping duties -- anyone.

Some discrepancies:

I have Black Dog charting at #106. But the DJ announced BD as 107.
I have Over the Hills at #110. The DJ has Over the Hills at #111.


We both agree on Brown Sugar at #122.

What this probably means is that somewhere between Brown Sugar and Over the Hills, the station played a song, but did not include it in their countdown. This has happened on occasion throughout the countdown. But I must have counted the "phantom song" -- thus the discrepancy in our counts.

This might be good for DGW. Because they played Sgt. Pepper and In A Gadda during the period in question and if it's one of those two songs that was "phantomed", then DGW's score should improve eventually when his phantomed song appears later on.

Here's the last 10:

I'm trying to figure out who the db is. I mean if it was anyone else writing this it would be clear that it was batmags, but he wouldn't call himself a db now would he?

Designated Boardmaster? Dour Bastard?

"Don't Stop Believing" hit at 75, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" at 76, and "Good Vibrations," "Mrs. Robinson," and "Purple Haze" somewhere in the high 70s/low 80s.

I think that was marathon. He drafted "Eric Clatpton's" Layla. My ace in the hole is to hold him to Clapton's should the eventual points make a difference in my, but not your, quest to win this thing. My db sez that on occasion, but not on NY's Q104, Clapton's MTV Unplugged version charts in the top #100.

My guess is that it's in at #52. When the song now playing is shown on the listen live page, it's included in the countdown. That seems to be the rule. That the song now playing appears on the last 10 songs played page is, however, no guarantee that the song is part of the countdown.

But now Deuces has been removed from the listen live page. So it might indeed be a phantom countdown song.

The scoreboard has been modified. The “Worst Possible Score” column is no longer in use. Instead, the db will make reasonable assumptions about which songs are not likely to chart in the top 1,043, and adjust each contestant’s score as necessary. The list of "songs not likely to chart" appears at the bottom of this post, and may change -- either expanding or contracting -- as the countdown unfolds. The db assumes that every song in the list of songs that haven’t yet appeared will ultimately chart somewhere in the countdown.

We don't know what songs charted from about the 80's through about 105. Many of the as yet uncharteds will surely fall somewhere in there. But this countdown is very atypical, perhaps even more so than the infamous 2007 countdown.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

A reverse phantom Q104 screwup. This time, the lists say that after Funeral4Friend, the next four songs played were Smoke on the Water, Sunshine of Your Love, Back in Black and then Golden Years.

Except that Golden Years immediately followed F4F. Q104 never played the middle three.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

So...

Yesterday -- 35
Whipping Post -- 36
Dream On -- 37
Golden Years - phantom
Back in Black -- 38 (but Q104 never played it)
Sunshine of Your Love -- 39 (but Q104 never played it)
Smoke on the Water -- 40 (but Q104 never played it)
Funeral for a Friend --should be 41
Brain Damage -- what you'll get trying to figure out this song's rank. It played in between F4F and Roundabout.
After Midnight -- see Brain Damage comments then get brain damage once again. I think it's a phantom. Do you?
Roundabout --42 (I suppose, not that the DJ ever said so)
Dazed and Confused (me too) 43, I also suppose, see Roundabout comments
Fashion or War Pigs -- one of these is 44, the other a phantom -- not that it matters, no one here drafted either song
Sweet Child O'Mine -- 45
Spirit of Radio -- 46
Paradise by the Dashboard Lights -- 47
Ready for Love -- phantom (I hope)
LA Woman -- 48

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

The scoreboard has been modified. The “Worst Possible Score” column is no longer in use. Instead, the db will make reasonable assumptions about which songs are not likely to chart in the top 1,043, and adjust each contestant’s score as necessary. The list of "songs not likely to chart" appears at the bottom of this post, and may change -- either expanding or contracting -- as the countdown unfolds. The db assumes that every song in the list of songs that haven’t yet appeared will ultimately chart somewhere in the countdown.

The score's closer than it appears to be. I have a 163 point lead over LWFS. But only three of my six songs have charted, as far as I know, as opposed to Leiter's four. If just one of my other three songs charted in that 80-105 Bermuda Triangle, it gets closer. If I've got two songs in that gap, then Leiter's in the lead. Of course, Leiter might also have a song in the 80-105 gap. We need an exit poll.

Leiter's remaining songs are usual top 25's Piano Man and Rosalita.
I've got Baba O'Riley and Gimme Shelter -- also top 25'ers.

But I've also got Love Reign O'er Me.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

I guess with five guys still in the field, metsguyinmichigan is the only one with the horses to catch batmagadan leadoff.

"Baba O’Riley," "Gimme Shelter," and "Love Reign O’er Me"

vs.

"Light My Fire," "Maggie May," "Satisfaction," "Wish You Were Here," and "You Shook Me All Night Long."


I guess it's possible. Anything can happen with Pink F. Floyd. Doors, too. But my network is calling this one for batmagadan.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

The best undrafted songs, so far:

43, Dazed and Confused, Led Zeppelin
36, Whipping Post, The Allman Brothers Band
34, Time, Pink Floyd
32, Tom Sawyer, Rush
30, Enter Sandman, Metallica

And the DJ just announced that Funeral for a Friend is coming up later on. This should improve my score. I have it down as #41, along with Brain Damage. Now I understand the mix-up. F4F was previously, for no logical reason that I can think of, phantomed.

Golden Years - phantom
Back in Black -- 38 (but Q104 never played it)
Sunshine of Your Love -- 39 (but Q104 never played it)
Smoke on the Water -- 40 (but Q104 never played it)
Funeral for a Friend --should be 41
Brain Damage -- what you'll get trying to figure out this song's rank. It played in between F4F and Roundabout.
After Midnight -- see Brain Damage comments then get brain damage once again. I think it's a phantom. Do you?
Roundabout --42 (I suppose, not that the DJ ever said so)
Dazed and Confused (me too) 43, I also suppose, see Roundabout comments
Fashion or War Pigs -- one of these is 44, the other a phantom -- not that it matters, no one here drafted either song
Sweet Child O'Mine -- 45
Spirit of Radio -- 46
Paradise by the Dashboard Lights -- 47
Ready for Love -- phantom (I hope)
LA Woman -- 48


Smoke on the Water 40, but last year it didnt crack 100 when I picked it.

The only chance that either DGW or Michigan have for winning this contest is if Love Reign O'er Me 1044's.

The only way that Jazz can win is for both LRO'M and BabaO to fall out of the top 20 or for LRO'M to 1044.

In theory. But not realistically. Love Reign O'er Me would have to 1044. But it's charted in the top 100 the last eight years, and 9 out of 10 Q104 countdowns --barely missing the top 100 one year.

That, and Moby Dick charting at all and the love for Rush songs, which was a pleasant surprise.

Did I have a sing at No. 312, or is that a typo? I think it's my combined score, but it's listed twice.

Actually, I think I'm the only one with a shot. It looks like my score is final, and even if DJ's last song is 60, that puts his score higher than mine...

I liked metsmarathon's scoring idea (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17107&start=32) because it recognized that the difference in "skill" between picking #5 and #25 was much greater than the difference between picking #725 and #745, so just for grins I took a look at how things would have turned out if we'd used it. It wouldn't have mattered much to the order, but there would have been some ties.

I'm satisfied with my result especially since I had a poor draft position and was pretty much distracted by the rest of my life while submitting my picks. Winning one contest and finishing near the top in the next is a testament to the klassik rawk knowledge gained during the many hours-days-weeks of my misspent youth I wasted listening to klassik rawk radio.

I don’t think that you’re aware of the history of the db, Jazz. So I’m gonna tell it to you. The db (that’s initial talk for database) consists of the top 100+ songs in every Q104 countdown, and 15 other classic-rock countdowns, spread nationally – a total of 25 classic-rock format holiday countdowns. The data resides in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. I created it, not to prepare for this rawk contest, but to prove a controversial point that emerged last baseball offseason, in the midst of our last rawk contest. Which I did prove that point with geometric precision even though none of youse bastards will ever concede the point or give me the satisfaction. So you see, the db was created more than half a year before this last rawk contest (that I, the bml won) was ever announced.

You might have your doubts about this next one, but I probably spent less time than anyone else to prepare for this draft – not more. Less. All I did was to sort my data according to most historical top 100 finishes in the Q104 countdowns and then, by average finish. This sort, which took me less than 45 seconds to prepare and run, then sorted all the songs in my db from most desirable draft pick to worst. It should come as no surprise that when I first ran the sort, Stairway to Heaven was at the top of the list. After the songs were ordered from best pick to worst, I deleted any song from the list as they were selected by other contestants – my opponents. I presume that everybody else did the same – eliminating from their own pick lists, songs that were previously drafted . Otherwise everyone would always be picking Stairway to Heaven, no? So whenever it was my turn to draft, I always had the top draft picks available at the top of my list. My selection method wasn’t so rigid and formulaic that I always picked the song or songs at the very top of the list. What I did was to quickly eyeball the top 10 or 20 songs and then make my selection(s). This eyeballing never took more than a minute or two. So there.

That Batmags was shameless enough in his attempt to win that he picked "Livin on a Prayer" should disqualify him, I think.


that he probably had a draft room set up with employees should tell us all about his seriousness in this endeavor.


See comments above, irish.

I determined that it would take a score of no greater than 240-250ish to win this contest. Based upon this assumption, it then became apparent that it would be extremely improbable, but not impossible, to win this contest carrying a song that slotted higher than 140, 150. This dynamic proved to be one of the drawbacks to this last contest, in that the format we used wrung most of the suspense out of the competition. If your song came up before Saturday night, you were essentially done for.

When I set out to create odds for each contestant, based upon the d in the db, I settled on a formula that practically eliminated anyone who picked a song likely to slot higher than 140. My odds ranking formula pretty much lumped all songs that were likely to finish higher than 140 together, without making precise value distinctions between a song that was likely to chart, say, at 250, and a song that was likely to chart at 900. They were all equally bad picks, as far as I was concerned. I wasn’t so blunt as to say so in my pre-game Odds and Sods post, but in my mind, anyone who drafted a song that was likely to finish higher than 140, had absolutely no chance to win the contest. I posted odds of about 60-1 for some contestants and odds of 200-1 or 500-1 for others, but the truth of it is that according to the db, I thought that there were only five contestants who had any chance at all of winning this.

Here are the top finishers, as predicted by the db:


(The extremely heavy favorite)
1 batmagadanleadoff – 9-1

(The contenders)
2 DGWphotography – 21-2
3 LeiterWagner – 12-1
4 Jazz Radio DJ – 13-1

(Outside chance to win)
5 MetsMichigan – 35-2

(Outside chance to win/No chance to Win border straddling)
6 Metsmarathon – 25-1

(No chance to win cutoff – best of the rest)
7 HahnSolo – 55-2
8 ChadOchoseis – 28-1

And here’s the actual final order of finish:

1 batmagadanleadoff – 190
2 DGWphotography – 303
3 LeiterWagner – 337
4 Jazz Radio DJ – 356
5 MetsMichigan – 492
6 ChadOchoseis – 499
7 Metsmarathon – 535

Not bad, db. Not bad at all. Take a bow.

As it turned out, you had a great draft position. Here, it was better to draft at the bottom. Owning Let it Be or Baba O’ Riley was certainly a competitive advantage, but a relatively minor one when those that drafted at the bottom of the first round were likely to have songs that charted no worse than 25-30. The top of the countdown is highly consistent, and thus predictable. The advantage was in the last round with those that not only picked first, but picked twice. The disparity in quality between songs available when you picked last and when DGW picked last were tremendous.

Yeah. This is what killed what appeared to be your excellent draft. But it happens every countdown. You can always expect a handful of perennial top 100 finishers to fall out of the top 100. Not that it would’ve mattered this time around. You would come to see that batmags’ score of 190 is historically awesome, if only we could play this contest like 80 or 100 more times. Like Tom Seaver on Earth Day, 1970. Or Secretariat at the Belmont Stakes. Or Reagan ’84. You guys ran into a buzzsaw.

great work, I didn't finish in the bottom three, chuffed.

Am I correct that I am the only person to have two top ten songs?


Yes you are. In fact, if this contest was played in reverse … if Q104 revealed the top song first and the 1,043rd song last, you would’ve been on top of the leaderboard, occupying the top spot for longer than anybody else.

Cheaters Redux - Had we played this contest under the rules of last winter’s contest, simply tracking the top 100 finishes, only the batmags would’ve finished undefeated (at 6-0). Metsmichigan would’ve been the only other contestant to go as far as 5-0. And we had less contestants in this contest than in the last one (17 to 21). The idea that four contestants could be 7-0 140, 150 picks into the contest without cheating is about the most fantastic thing I ever read on these boards.

Bad day (prounounced Bad Day) for Lynyrd Skynyrd – Besides Sweet Home Alabama’s uncharacteristic finish out of the top 100, this countdown marked the worst finish ever for Freebird in a Q104 countdown.

TRIVIA -- Eight songs from this years’s countdown appeared in the top 100 of a Q104 countdown for the first time ever. Name the eight songs in one post and if you get six right, you get credit for having the right answer.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

Anyone interested in another classic rock challenge? I found an interesting list and would enjoy administering another competition before/during the holiday season. If there's no opposition here I'll start a new thread with the rules and a call for participants.

Didn't you used to be ... ah, no way. It can't be.

Welcome a-Bordick. Or Welcome Backman, just in case.

I might be a little "classic-rocked-out". I'll wait for you to post your rules before committing.

Re: CLASSIC ROCK CHAMPIONSHIP: Draft!

Ok, so I don't want to step on the toes of Lunchbucket as Quizmaster Supreme or batmags as defending champion, but this is the idea I had for the next Classic Rock Challenge.

I have a list of top songs of all time from a (hopefully) obscure classic rock radio station that's not in New York City. We will be trying to pick the top 250 songs (the full list may or may not have more songs than 250).

1. Like in our earlier contests, participants will take turns picking one song at a time from a randomized list that snakes back and forth.
2. Points are awarded in two ways:
* If the song you pick is the highest charting song by that particular band/artist you get 10 points. The second highest charting song by that band/artist gets 5 points. Any other charting songs by that band are worth 1 point.
* Songs that are in the top 25 of the list earn 10 points, top 50 (26-50) earn 5 points, and top 100 (51-100) get 1 point. There are no points for songs over 100 other than the band/artist points.
* These points are cumulative so any song that is in the top 25 and is the highest ranking song by that band/artists will be highly coveted because they will be worth 20 points total.
This contest should encourage different strategies: do you try to pick the top ranking songs of all time, or pick the best songs by more obscure bands?
3. After a pick is submitted I will reveal the number of points earned, but will not reveal the exact ranking of the song. This will help prevent anyone finding the original list and "peeking" (not that anyone here would do that).
4. Depending on the number of participants, I figure we'll go 10 rounds and then maybe have a lightning round if any songs are left in the top 250.

So anyone other metirish interested? If so I'll start a new thread.

You nailed that post. I fess to catching a slight feeling of ickiness when I chose LOAP. An ickiness that quickly morphed into revulsion after I youtubed

I'll throw a bone to Bon Jersey here. Peter Frampton's guitar talkbox effect --- though not really initiated by Frampton himself --- made occasionally appearances on radio playlists ("Rocky Mountain Way," "Tell Me Something Good") after Frampton put his signature on it for "Frampton Comes Alive," but it was so distinctive that it was hard for most later bands to use without an audience reaction along the lines of "Who does he think he is? Peter Fuckin' Frampton?"

But Bon J, but using it cover the bass phrase, found a new use for it that created a big redwood-sized massive hook. Each BJ single off on that album, really, had an inventive hook of similar proportions. Empty calories, but, you know, sugar frosted.
