Alright, I'll go then. Yeah, you can play, along with Gorille and shmegland. We'll need three more players.

The point of the game is to introduce songs that the host might not know or is not that familiar with right? It would be a cheap shot to suggest for example Heartattack to Sigz IMO..

I'd love to participate as well if that is ok. Also the game shouldn't start till after I finish this one, which shouldn't be more than a few days.

Yeah, both you and Birch can join.

Yeah, there's no point in recommending stuff I've already listened to.

Of course. I wasn't planning on starting until this one's done.

Round 4 Results

Least Favorite

Sigz
Fanthomas - "The Godfather Theme" (Movie Theme)
Absolutely not what I was expecting. A very unusual cover to say the least. I liked half, didn't really like the heavy half. I'm sure its ambitions are lying in places I can't see.


Honorable Mentions

Portrucci
Ulver - "Solitude" (Black Sabbath)
Very gloomy. I dug the atmosphere, especially the trumpet wailing all over the place though the vocals are something I'd need to get warmed up to. Decent length for what it was worth but it lacked any real impact, even if that wasn't the point of the song. Kinda felt unsatisfied, to be honest.

Volk9
Kalisia - "A Fortune In Lies" (Dream Theater)
Gotta give them points for the intro, even if they used some actual sound clips from Through Her Eyes. While I love AFIL and this is a very faithful cover (aside from the vocals), I'm not sure if I liked how faithful they stuck to the song. There are glimpses of originality in places, like the harmonies every once in awhile, but if you've heard the Dream Theater version you've pretty much heard this song.

dreamtheatervt
Warrel Dane - "Patterns" (Simon And Garfunkel)
Not a bad song, about what I'd expect from Warrel Dane. I had a problem with how ordinary it sounds and unlike "The Sound Of Silence" that Nevermore did there wasn't really a driving force. Dunno if I'd go back to it.


Runner Up

Marvellous G
She & Him - "You Really Got A Hold On Me" (???)
I really liked the laid back atmosphere of the song. The male and female vocals worked really well, especially harmonizing. There's nothing more I can say aside the fact that the song is damn entrancing.



Winner

hefdaddy42
Gov't Mule - "Cortez The Killer" (Neil Young)
Ok this one's a bit unfair since I absolutely love the Dave Matthews cover, mostly because of Warren Haynes' gorgeous playing style and tone. I think I prefer that version a bit more but this version still delivers in all the right places. Some parts moved a little sluggish but overall it sounded great. The Pink Floydish part at the end with the synths was actually kinda neat.


Current points:

hefdaddy42 - 20
Sigz - 14
Portrucci -14
Marvellous G - 13
Volk9 - 12
dreamtheatervt -11


Round 5 Point System

Ok well first off this round is running a bit different. Since hef would clearly win even under the 6 to 1 point system all users must submit a wager with their song choice. This'll be Jeopardy style so you can wager up to the amount of points you have. You can either win that amount or lose half of that value and I'll subtract it from your total. The way you win your wager is whether or not I like the song, so it's a 50/50 deal. There is no ranking this time, just point wagers.

Round 5: Color Songs 

Songs with colors in the title. Any genre, any band, go nuts.

I'd love to participate in the next game if there are any spaces. Though I guess Sigz can involve as many people as he wants.

Sigz, I don't know if Orcus just mistyped, but is the band he wrote as "Fanthomas" actually Fantomas, Mike Patton/Dave Lombardo's project? I vaguely remember them covering that theme I think.

I love DMB's Cortez, so I'll definitely give that version a listen to. Also thanks Zydar, all I knew was that the Beatles did a version that was itself a cover.

I'd like to participate again in the next game, but it would be a bit unfair as I'd been in this one. Still, if there's room. Now to think of a final song...

I'm just going to assume that Black and White both count as colours, and therefore I have sent my song.  :)

Yeah, Rich and Voxyn can both join. That might be it for my round though.

So current players are:

Gorille
73109
kingshmegland
BirchBoy
Orcus
Rich
The Voxiain


Sigz, I don't know if Orcus just mistyped, but is the band he wrote as "Fanthomas" actually Fantomas, Mike Patton/Dave Lombardo's project? I vaguely remember them covering that theme I think.

Yeah, that's the one. Awesome band, and Lombardo's a beast. Also has the guitarist from The Melvins and the bassist from Mr. Bungle.

In all seriousness I've been in the process of packing up for a big move on Sunday. I'm gonna do some cleaning in a few hours but I will get this out just after then so Sigz can start on his.

I thought I put my wager in my PM.  I said bet it all because I'm behind and need a comeback.  (I don't even remember what song I picked)
