On to my final two picks of the draft...this has been fun. It started really quickly, and may have stalled a little bit in the recent past, but it was a great experience to learn about all of your favorite artists out there. I have heard so much great music because of this thread. I would often try and listen/watch the youtube videos posted to get a sense of the pick. I really wish I had more musical knowledge than I do. I think a lot of my selections would be defined as fairly generic, and mainstream. I have never really gotten in to the music that is out of the spotlight, and for that I am probably missing out on a lot. Anyways...
For my wildcard singer, I am going to select GORDON DOWNIE of the Tragically Hip. I was first introduced to Downie and the Hip when my Uncle gave me his cassette tape of UP TO HERE, and to this day, it is my favorite Hip album.
A staple on the radio, New Orleans is Sinkin', killer whale tank version.
And for my world band selection, I am going to select from Australia, Silverchair.
