I'm not gonna go on about how hard it was to rank these. It was, pretty much. So here we gooooooooo
Top Pick: Space Invader
Band: Neverending White Lights
Song Name: Black is the Colour
Amazingly and hauntingly sad. I really love this song. Beautiful melodies that have a lot of sadness in them. Is this their usual forte? This is music how I like it, you seem to know my tastes very well...I am suspicious of you man. haha
Second Place: contest_sanity
Band: Black Label Society
Song Name: Spoke in the Wheel
Love it. I know it's probably not typical of their music, but man, he can do soft and sad acoustic style really and surprisingly well. So heartfelt. Awesome lyrics as well! Awesome pick.
Next Three:(+6 pts.)

ZanteraBand: Anathema
Song Name: One Last Goodbye
Dude. I love this band now. They hit the right notes and have the right the feel musically, to me. That probably doesn't make sense. I almost and JUST barely gave this second place. Shame to rank this down, but you know how it is.

RavenheartBand: Smashing Pumpkins
Song Name: Crestfallen
First, props to RH for pulling a song at the last second when I realized that Z and RH sent the same song.
I liked Billy's voice here, because it usually grates me, but this was a huge surprise for me, and it worked fantastically. Good job man!
-
YtseBitsySpiderBand: Queensryche
Song Name: Someone Else
That picture on the youtube video was perfect to this song. Man, I think this is the best use of Tate's voice, from the very limited amount of QR I have heard or seen live. Thumbs up man!
Next 3 (+5 pts.)
-
AriichBand/Composer: Dmitri Shostakovich
Song Name: Piano Concerto No. 2, movt II: Andante
Beautiful sad piano music. Man. Good stuff here. I don't know what else to say! I just liked the other songs better, great pick man. This was borderline to be in the above 3 picks, but yours ended up being the one to fall through.
-
Marvellous GBand: Dave Matthews Band
Song Name: Baby Blue
That was sad indeed. I like DMB a lot. When he does restrained stuff like this, I really like it. Still, for some reason, DMB doesn't hit me quite as hard as I myself would think, so even the hits don't always grab me (maybe not right away though). Good pick, so hopefully a grower as time passes!
-
QuadrochosisBand: Fleetwood Mac
Song Name: Silver Springs
This was a good heartfelt piece, but, maybe I am weird, but I don't see how it is sad or depressing (besides the lyrics..maybe I am more focused on the music...). That said, when it starts picking up, man, that is some awesome stuff! I hope with time it will grow on me as a whole, because I can sense the awesome there. Ending is great as well!
Last:(+4 pts.)

KariBand: Sigur Rós
Song Name: Ó Fridur
I don't know why, but it just did very little for me. I can see what they were doing, but it didn't grab me. :/ Sorry man.

Focus on Lyrics (note: music that enhances the feel of the lyrics will help here).
Please also send me a link to the lyrics or a youtube video with the lyrics in them (on the video or description)So, pick a song with fantastic lyrics. And I am telling you, if you get a song that also has music to ENHANCE the lyrics, you are probably on the right track. That said, who knows what I will like the best?
Also, if your song has lyrics that are in any way anti-God (or something else I really just do not feel comfortable with), I'll ask you to send a new song. This is really nothing new, but I want to emphasize the point considering the round theme, and hopefully not come off as close-minded. Just being brutally honest.
Alright, GO!
