Six contestants will participate. These will be the first six people to PM me a song suggestion.
Only one song suggestion per round. It would be helpful to PM a youtube or myspace or grooveshark link to the song.

Also I dunno if you had thought about it Sigz but I tried to stray away from genre related rounds seeing as some people just might not even listen to certain types of music. It's all your game but I figure I'd throw that out there.

Sent. Not confident in my choice. I think that is the way it will be for the rest of this thing. Sigz and I have completely different tastes in music, and I am going to stick with my guns. Classic rock and classic metal. I see myself losing this whole thing...badly.

So, can I host next, btw? Everyone cool with that?

Same here with the not-so-similar music tastes, but I think I have some fairly Sigz-y stuff... maybe

I'm cool. I think I'd do well with the classic rock angle but I think I should let others get a crack at this game first.

Was that in reference to me asking to go next?

Yeah. I approve of you hosting, I'd probably back down as a contestant even though you spilled your dirty little secrets.

Oh. Others have been wanting to go at this for awhile but haven't gotten in yet. I'm into so much music I love sending song suggestions out but I figured I'd give more people a crack at it. I love me some classic rock and metal so I figured I'd fit in well with some of your tastes.

Round One Results:

Wow, awesome choices from everyone. I actually feel really bad about having to put any of these at the 'low' rankings, because every choice was fantastic.

Best:
gorille - Pure Reason Revolution - 'Deus Ex Machina' - I've heard of these guys before, but never given them a listen. Awesome blend of hard rock/metal and electronic, with some really cool vocal harmonies. Definitely going to have to pick up this album.


Very Good:
Birch Boy -Frank Zappa - 'Inca Roads' - I only have two Zappa albums, Apostrophe and Hot Rats, and between those Apostrophe's the only one I actually like (though I love it). Inca Roads was excellent, continuing with the same kind of quirky avant-progginess that I love about Apostrophe.

Good:
Orcus - Wintersleep - "Miasmal Smoke & The Yellow Bellied Freaks" - I originally read the band name as Winterspell, and was bracing for maximum cheese. However, I was pleasantly surprised by some excellent post/indie rock. The vocals were only OK, but they didn't really detract from the music in any way, and I'm definitely inclined to check more of them out.

Voxyn - Thomas Dybdhal - 'Cecilia' - Very good acoustic/singer-songwriter type stuff. I especially enjoyed the female vocals on it as well.

Arrich - Avenged Sevenfold - 'A Little Piece of Heaven' - The only A7X song I've heard was their new single (Nightmare?), it wasn't bad. This definitely blew it out of the water. It would be quite a bit higher but I felt that it could have been a few minutes shorter and been better off for it. Other than that, it was really cool.

Still good, but lower:
King Shmegland - Black Mountain - 'Tyrants' - This was pretty good sludgey/proggy hard rock type stuff. I quite enjoyed it, though I found it dragging a little bit. Nonetheless, I'd definitely check out more.


Also good, but lowest:

73109 - Janis Joplin - 'Me and Bobby McGee' - I'm not a massive JJ fan, but I enjoy her here and there. This song, while good, was definitely the weakest of the bunch, it was still good, but I didn't think it was really on par with other songs of her that I've heard.


Score:

Gorille - 5
Birch - 4
Arrich - 3
Voxyn - 3
Orcus - 3
Shmegland - 2
73109 - 1

Hurrah, 3 points. If you want to check out more of Dybdahl, his self-titled 'best of' is on spotify.

Nah, sorry. You gotta wait till I start the next one, if you want in.

So, sent. I am a bit more confident in this one. Trippy as hell and the entire song comes to a grand, sweeping climax from something that was a little seed in the beginning.

Sigz, do you like trippy songs?

Edit: By the way, am I the only dude who explains in my PM why I sent the song, or do you guys just send a link?

Taking a big risk here... this may endanger my chances of winning but we'll see what happens :lol

EDIT: Re-thinking my choice. Can we repeat an artist for future reference?

I don't really have a problem with it, as long as you're not using the same artist every round.
