I think it could work!
Randomly during the date, you would just be like "DAT KEYBOARD SOLO!"

Or just half way through dinner.

"How's the pork?"
"SHAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAN TAAAAAAAAAAAKE MYYYYYYYYYYYYY HAAAAAAAAAAAND"

Great stuff!

Joe, how's it going with this round, still waiting on songs from anyone?

ariich · « **Reply #73 on:** September 13, 2011, 03:38:12 PM »

Yeah, me.

ariich · « **Reply #74 on:** September 13, 2011, 04:42:15 PM »

Sent. Bit of a curveball this time, but it's one of my favourite pieces of music so I hope you dig it!

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #75 on:** September 14, 2011, 01:55:25 AM »

Cup hasn't sent anything yet. Since it's been a week since the third round, he better send something soon.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #77 on:** September 14, 2011, 11:07:26 PM »

Winner, 8 Points:
Ravenheart- Alice in Chains, Nutshell

Never really given this band their due, and this proves I was always wrong not too. Loved this. Do AiC have a lot of acoustic songs like this? I found this to be really moving, and want to hear more.

Runner-up, 7 Points:
Zantera- The Tallest Man on Earth, Love is All

Really great finger-style guitar playing here, which is awesome because that’s the style that I’m currently most interesting to learn. It sounds like Bob Dylan could have written this is he would have kept doing the folk things and never moved into rock and blues. Another great submission!

Third Place- 6 Points

Energythief- Nine Inch Nails, The Wretched

I really liked everything about this but the vocals in the beginning. As things picked up, though, it got a lot better. Good submission, ET!

Fourth Place, 5 points

Cup- New World Sympony, Second Movement

Really liked this quite a bit. Out of the two classical pieces, this was my favorite. But both were very good.

Fifth place, 4 points

Rich- Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No 2

I do actually like classical music quite a bit. The problem is, there’s so much of it that I don’t know what to go for a lot of times. Then, whenever I rip a CD onto my computer it always scrobbles the conductors name or else the orchestras, so it might not show. Regardless, I liked this quite a bit!

All the following songs were good, but I couldn’t rank them, so I gave each 3 points:

Nick- Evergrey, Words Mean Nothing

This song was definitely depressing. Almost too depressing for me to relate with, actually. I still like it quite a bit, though. It had good atmosphere and melody which, again, is exactly what I’m looking for. Unfortunately, I just didn’t like this as much as other selections.

Ultimetalhead- Superior, Fallen

I liked the music here, but I was really digging either of the voices. This song sounded sort of “broadway” to me, which I’m not a fan of. But otherwise, it was pretty good.

H- Don McClean, Empty Chairs

Another nice folky acoustic song with finger picking. I liked Zantera’s issue slightly better, but this was also really nice. Again, great song, just wasn’t as good as others.

Nick- 25 + 3 = 28
H- 25 + 3 = 28
Ariich- 24 + 4 = 28
Cup- 22 + 5 = 27
Ravenheart- 19 + 8 = 27
Zantera- 19 + 7 = 26
UMH- 13 + 3 = 16
ET- 8 + 6 = 14

Well, it looks like the next round is anyone’s game.

It’s also the final round.

Everyone, hit me with your best shot.

If you want to know who wrote NWS, it's Antonin Dvorak.

The entire NWS (All 4 movements!) is awesome, IMO! When my HS wind ensemble and orchestra played it at the end of last year, I had the time of my life, even though my part (timpani) was mainly a few scattered rolls and some loud hits every now and then. Counting rests can be a real joy, if the music in those rests is really enjoyable to listen to while counting the rests.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #79 on:** September 14, 2011, 11:26:10 PM »

Check out their EP Jar of Flies. It's all very melancholic acoustic music similar to Nutshell.

Ħ · « **Reply #80 on:** September 14, 2011, 11:28:04 PM »

Looks like most of us have a shot at the win.

Zantera · « **Reply #81 on:** September 14, 2011, 11:44:23 PM »

Glad that you liked Tallest Man on Earth!

Edit: Sent now! Hope you'll enjoy it.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #82 on:** September 16, 2011, 07:19:24 PM »

Okay everyone let's pretend we still care and send something lol

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #83 on:** September 16, 2011, 07:53:25 PM »

Did I send something? I can't remember.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #84 on:** September 16, 2011, 08:02:28 PM »

Yeah, you did.

ariich · « **Reply #85 on:** September 17, 2011, 02:50:57 AM »

Woah, didn't even see that you'd updated!

Song sent.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #86 on:** September 17, 2011, 07:38:55 AM »

As soon as Ravenheart sends his we can put this dog down.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #88 on:** September 17, 2011, 09:23:34 AM »

Sent. Sorry. I had to search far and wide for a song I felt confident in.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #89 on:** September 17, 2011, 10:35:13 AM »

Finally, this is over

Anyway, you all did a great job. Things were really close, but in the end it was the person who won this round who won it all.

First place, 8 points: Ravenheart- Dan Swano, Add Reality

Woah, this was really good. The vocals jarred me at first, but I eased into them really easily. What a great song with a great melody. In fact, I think I’m going to dub you, Zander, the master of melody. You have really submitted some of the most melodious songs in my roulette. I really appreciate it! Good job, man!

Second Place, 7 Points: Energytheif- Nevermore, Dreaming Neon Black

Really cool song here. Nice melodies, emotional, etc… very good pick. Some really nice vocal harmonies here, too. Really liked it. Another really solid pick, ET. If you had known my tastes better from the getgo you probably would have done better in my roulette!

Third Place, 6 points- Shakes- Wishbone Ash, Argus

Really strong song here, as most of your selections have been. This really obscure prog metal has been really enjoyable. Where do you find this stuff? Anyway, I liked it a lot. Not as good as some other submissions, but still really good. I can’t figure out why you haven’t been doing well in other roulettes. Almost everything you’ve sent me has been really good and unique.

Fourth Place, 5 points- Ariich- Amorphis, Silver Bride

Oh man, this was another good, really moody song. Instrumentally, I love it. Vocally, it was just a wee wee bit off. Nothing that would phase me normally, but this is the final round so I gotta be strict! Anyway, great pick Rich, as most of your picks have been!

Fifth Place, 4 points: Nick- Neal Morse, Children of the Chosen

Hadn’t heard this song, but since my love of Neal Morse and Transatlantic and Hayden’s winning Spock’s Beard submission have made my love of him apparent, Anyway, it was good, but not the best Neal Morse I’ve heard. In fact, it seems like he revisted some of these melodies in Seeds of Gold—just in a better way. Anyway, another good pick! Not the best, but good!

Sixth Place, 3 points: Ultimetalhead- Dog Fashion Disco, The Hitchhiker

Really good song. Not my favorite, but not bad by any means! Got a little weird in the middle there, but still enjoyable! Really glad you decided to come in last minute and all! Have definitely opened my ears to some music I had heard before!

Seventh Place, 2 points: H- OSI, Shutdown

Oh man, OSI. The band I kinda like, but kinda doubt, and have never given a full chance. Ultimately, I have the same issue with this I have with the other OSI stuff I’ve heard. I like it musically, but Kevin’s vocals are just… meh. He’s not a singer! Even though he kinda sounds like Steve Wilson here! Kinda… I remember hearing this band was supposedly going to have Daniel Gildenlow on vocals… man, what a world that would have been. Anyway Hayden knew I didn’t like OSI much, but sent this anyway. It was courageous of him, but unfortunately it may have lost him the round. It’s okay, though, you’ve sent a lot of good stuff and I’m glad you were a part of my roulette!

Eighth place, 1 point: Zantera- Thrice, Digging My Own Grave

Ariich had submitted this band earlier, and I wasn’t too into it. Well, this time, unfortunately, I felt the same. I guess I’m just not into thrice. I didn’t hate it, didn’t even dislike it, it just wasn’t my favorite by anymeans. Anyway, most of your picks were amazing. Even though you got last here, you were a great player and I will be checking out several of the artists you’d suggested to me.

Ravenheart- 27 + 8 = 35
Ariich- 28 + 5 = 33
Cup- 27 + 6 = 33
Nick- 25 + 4 = 32
H- 28+2=30
Zantera- 26 + 1= 27.
E- 14 + 7 = 21
UMH- 16 + 3 = 19

Now, I guess it’s time to lock this and give Ravenheart what he deserves, Rich—a bolded out username in the annals of the song roulette tracker thread, to be seen by posters until the end of time or the next board crash. In addition, I will now purchase an album of your choosing and post photographic evidence of having made the purchase (eventually), as a token proving that your participation in my roulette has truly inspire me to check out an artist that you really like. So just write what you want me to get here, or PM me, and I'll do it!

Thanks for playing everyone. You ALL were winners in my opinion!

Dude, thanks to you I've already just checked out Oceansize, which is your purpose on this earth or something

Don't feel too sad!

I dunno, I just can't get into thrice. Ariich submitting them earlier and it didn't do to well for him either.

zxlkho · « **Reply #92 on:** September 17, 2011, 10:40:49 AM »

Have you heard the new album?

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #93 on:** September 17, 2011, 11:06:59 AM »

Just the single. Again, wasn't really blown away unfortuantely.

zxlkho · « **Reply #94 on:** September 17, 2011, 11:12:21 AM »

Yellow Belly? That's probably the worst song on that album.

Check it out dude, I'm sure you'll like it.

Zantera · « **Reply #95 on:** September 17, 2011, 11:24:54 AM »

Yellow Belly is not the worst!
If I had to pick one, I would probably say Cataracts or Blur, but I still really like those.

zxlkho · « **Reply #96 on:** September 17, 2011, 11:28:00 AM »

Cataracts is awesome! wtf man

Ravenheart · « **Reply #97 on:** September 17, 2011, 11:59:48 AM »

I finally won one!
