Phantom 2,533 Posted January 21, 2018 12 hours ago, DevonDeathTrip said: Dylan's seminal 1968 album John Wesley Harding was definitely country. Recorded in Nashville with country musicians. It was around that time when Dylan laid down some tracks in a recording studio with Johnny Cash. The tracks with Cash have never been officially released, but have appeared on many a bootleg album.

Windsor 2,233 Posted January 21, 2018 Apologies to @Deathray for misfiring at him. I was clearly just upset at the news that @Banshees Scream and @Rotten Ali have bowed out. What I would give to curse them just one last time... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted January 21, 2018 I really like the description of my team. One of the DDP's best young players, just missed out on the top 10 last time round. Will probably be a future champion, but is 2018 too soon? Thank you Spade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,439 Posted January 21, 2018 Oh incidentally, thanks for subbing in Pete Stokes to my main team, Spade. Amusingly I take the unique away from myself in the process, but that's fair given circumstances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted January 21, 2018 Here's some fag packed aspergers for this year. Made it to include anyone who was at 11th= since DQSBP, Golden Slumbers, and Crossing the Styx aren't competing this year. I did kick out the B Team though, as I felt that a team who we know isn't their first team will massively distort the actual picks: TEN PICKS: Leah Bracknell Patrick Cryne Marieke Vervoort NINE PICKS: Rayya Elias Greg Gilbert John McCain EIGHT PICKS: Matt Cappotelli Dean Francis Tessa Jowell SEVEN PICKS: Liam Miller Fernando Ricksen Stefan Karl Stefansson SIX PICKS: Vanessa Goodwin Nobby Stiles FIVE PICKS: Jose Jose Devin Lima FOUR PICKS: Jessica Falkholt Linda Nolan Bobby Zarin THREE PICKS: Morgan Tsvangirai Charlotte Rae Dilip Kumar Catherine Nevin TWO PICKS: John Cocks Clive James Bernard Tapie Ian Toothill Tiffany Youngs Johnny Clegg Paul Alcock Peter Lorimer Stuart Fraser Simon Ricketts ONE PICK (unique): Laura Barry Cynthia Heimel David Shutts Blackie Dammett Julie Shaw Jacqui Forster Efrain Rios Montt ONE PICK (not unique): Mike Wilisee Ami Brown Denis Goldberg Bill Heine Yusuke Yamaguchi Satoru Anzaki Pope Benedict XVI George Bush Sr Vittorio Cechi Gorri Kirk Douglas Clarrissa Eden Doug Ellis Alberto Fujimori Rev Billy Graham Jimmy Greaves Denis Norden Amy Price Betty White Mark E Smith Steve Gleason Valerie Harper Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi John Bain Colin Butts Philomena Lynott 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,963 Posted January 21, 2018 I'll make sure to submit bios for my uniques - I feel it's only fair considering the amount of them - but that'll wait until the dust settles, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted January 21, 2018 Good job Spade and thanks for the hard work. However, it appears you missed the 9th January death of Odvar Nordli. He got a Mail QO. Not that I'm complaining. This insured that one of my hits, Bobby Zarin, was part of this update as one of the first 12 to die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,518 Posted January 21, 2018 He's part of the second batch, for some reason I had him down as dying on the 19th.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,518 Posted January 21, 2018 Also, idc if the Neave Brown pun makes no sense to anyone unfamiliar with the top 40 of 2004, I thought it was great wordplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,963 Posted January 21, 2018 Bless the condolences to me over Rayya barely seeing 2018. (though if she did die in the final days of 2017, I admit I'd feel a bit of a bastard snatching the title from someone who never won before and was retiring!)
