Dang, I guess I'm going to pack it in. I thought I would be able to make my pick tonight after a long freaking day. I've already stayed up too late. Hopefully Torture doesn't steal my new choice here!
Sorry guys, it's going to be tomorrow afternoon for me.

yes/no, but my cd collection would argue that point as I tend to buy all her releases. It's all within moderation.. a lot of her recordings are incredible and with those yes I'm a fan... but i also don't connect with some other stuff.
She's an incredible singer, who has forged her way and took the path less travelled, doing so she a formed pretty much her own loyal fan base that she's been able to exists in completely separate from the music industry. She has a huge amount of love for her fans and gives to them more then I've ever seen a musician give.
I'll catch her show when it passes by town but if i happen to miss it I don't fret to much about it either. So yes i see that as a fan but nowhere near like I am with Gilmour or Clapton

With our 5th round pick, 95th overall, in the first annual (?) Calgarypuck music draft team AliceLoveGarden is proud to select in the category of Western US, from Seattle, Washington....out of the ashes of MotherLoveBone with a little help from Temple of the Dog, the one and only Pearl Jam!
Jeff Ament is from Big Sandy, Montana and still resides in Missoula. Montana rocks.
Pearl Jam is an Americanrock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. Since its inception, the band's line-up has included Eddie Vedder (lead vocals, guitar), Jeff Ament (bass guitar), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), and Mike McCready (lead guitar). The band's current drummer is Matt Cameron, formerly of Soundgarden, who has been with the band since 1998.
Formed after the demise of Ament and Gossard's previous band Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album Ten. One of the key bands of the grunge movement in the early 1990s, Pearl Jam was criticized early on—most notably by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain—as being a corporate cash-in on the alternative rock explosion. However, over the course of the band's career its members became noted for their refusal to adhere to traditional music industry practices; including refusing to make music videos and engaging in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster. In 2006, Rolling Stone described the band as having "spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own fame."[1]
Since its inception, the band has sold 30 million records in the U.S.,[2] and an estimated 60 million albums worldwide.[3][4] Pearl Jam has outlasted many of its contemporaries from the alternative rock breakthrough of the early 1990s, and is considered one of the most influential bands of the decade,[5] and "the most popular American rock & roll band of the '90s".[6]
Some personal favorites...I could post 20.

Favorite Pearl Jam song; State of Love And Trust (Singles soundtrack).
Great soundtrack. The Soundgarden song on it is brilliant "Birth Ritual"

Well, after the blatant theft of John K. Samson by Kermitology , Dr. Funke's 100% Natural Good-Time Family Band Solution has decided to go off the board slightly and select The Weakerthans in the category of Canada.
Quote:
The band was formed in 1997 in Winnipeg, Manitoba by John K. Samson, after he left the punk band Propagandhi to start a publishing company. Samson joined forces with bassist John P. Sutton and drummer Jason Tait, and created The Weakerthans as a vehicle for a more melodic and introspective brand of songwriting than that of Propagandhi. One origin story for the band's name, as quoted in the liner notes of Fallow, is a line from the 1992 film The Lover: "Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine."[5] The band's name may also refer to a Ralph Chaplin quote from "Solidarity Forever": "What force on Earth can be weaker than the feeble strength of one?" The band alludes to this line in the song "Pamphleteer" from the album Left and Leaving.
The band's debut album, Fallow, was released in 1997 on G7 Welcoming Committee Records, and garnered positive reviews from Canadian music critics.[citation needed] Guitarist Stephen Carroll, formerly of Painted Thin, subsequently joined the band, and Left and Leaving was released in 2000.
In 2003, the band moved to Epitaph Records and released Reconstruction Site. The album was met with rave reviews[6] from Canadian and international critics for its ambitious combination of punk, rock, folk, country and sonnets. It also became the band's best-selling record to date, as well as its airplay breakthrough on Canadian radio. It was the second Weakerthans album to be produced by Ian Blurton.
Sutton, who played on all three of the band's first albums, left in August 2004 and was replaced by Greg Smith.
In 2005, Left and Leaving was named one of the ten best Canadian albums of all time in Chart magazine's reader poll.[7] In the same poll, Samson wrote the capsule review for another top ten finisher, The Lowest of the Low's Shakespeare My Butt, which he cited as a major influence on his own music. Reunion Tour was released on September 25, 2007 in North America by Epitaph and ANTI-. The band released a video for "Civil Twilight", which consisted of a single, unbroken camera shot of the band on a Winnipeg Transit city bus.[8]
Epitaph also re-released the Weakerthans' first two albums, Fallow and Left and Leaving, in Canada on November 6, 2007.[9]
Night Windows
Civil Twilight
Tournament of Hearts
My favorite one, One Great City!

With our selection in the 5th round, Team Phlegmp3 is positively pleased to select Chuck Berry in the Guitarist category.
Quote:
Chuck Berry is an influential figure and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame'swebsite, "While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together."[1]Cub Koda wrote, "Of all the early breakthrough rock & roll artists, none is more important to the development of the music than Chuck Berry. He is its greatest songwriter, the main shaper of its instrumental voice, one of its greatest guitarists, and one of its greatest performers."[2]John Lennon was more succinct: "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'."
Disclaimer: I cannot attest to the quality of these videos, as I have no sound on my home computer.
With our 5th pick, The Upper Crash are proud to select, from Burnaby, BC, Matthew Good (Band)!
Mr. Good will take up the Canadian slot on our roster.
Quote:
Matthew Frederick Robert Good (born June 29, 1971, Burnaby, British Columbia) is a Canadian rock musician. He was the lead singer for the Matthew Good Band, one of Canada's most successful alternative rock bands in the 1990s, before dissolving the band in 2002. Other band members included drummer Ian Browne, guitarist/keyboardist Dave Genn, and original bassist Geoff Lloyd, later replaced by Rich Priske. In the years since the Matthew Good Band's disbanding, Good has pursued a solo career and established himself as a political activist and blogger.
