💬 if we could, who on this board is your go to for selecting music at BDS?

@50+yeartidefan is playing the Beatles.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

The key thing to remember is to find songs that the crowd can participate in, not songs that are simply popular. Think about the music that people participate with: Sweet Caroline, Dixieland Delight, Bohemian Rhapsody, All I Do Is Win, Friends in Low Places, Jump Around.

I was reading this and getting more and more nervous that you were going to throw in YMCA.

I won't, but somebody else will.

Hope not ...or "in the Navy"

The Star Spangled Banner.

The way the stadium sings that.......I would love it for the MDB to start us off, and then play it at a "hush" level quiet enough to hear the crowd sing it. I think that would be cool.

Well I know I would enjoy seeing Hank Jr come on right before the game and say Are You ready for some Alabama football and break into are you ready for some football

My first thought was “Love Shack”. I mean, we’re talking about getting participation…

Depends on who you're sitting next to.

What about "Love the One You're With".

As an old guy who likes old country, southern rock, classic rock, Americana/Red Dirt and (surprise) Broadway tunes and 80's funk/rap, I don't think many of my songs would ignite the crowd.

Perhaps some Whiskey Myers snippets (Bury My Bones or Ballad of a Southern Man) might work - they were outstanding at Avondale Brewing this summer. There is some pretty rocking Blackberry Smoke that might be good. Heck, a little portion of Bury Me in Dixie by Riley Green might get the students moving. The student section would sing along with several Tyler Childers tunes. I wore a Turnpike Troubadours t-shirt to the Whiskey Myers show and had my photo taken with groups of college kids, all asking "where'd you get that shirt?" Me - "At a TT concert". Cody Jinks with the Randy Rogers Band as openers are at the old auditorium in Asheville on Saturday. If it wasn't my anniversary I'd road trip up there. Just saw Reckless Kelly at Variety in Atlanta, really good show.

All in all, if newspapers are printing stories about our quandary with proper music, I'm grateful we only have first world problems in football.

RTR and Rock On,

Tim

In honor of Najee, and now BRob, I suggest the ancient Tommy James hit "Draggin' the Line."
