Goddammit this is probably the hardest round for me. I know some music that always makes me smile but it's stuff that you either know already or I'm pretty sure that you'll hate it.

ROUND 6 RESULTS

Big Hath: Acoustic Alchemy – Columbia

Cool song; it’s enjoyable and relaxing, but for me, it’s nothing more than that.

7.3/10

lonestar: Kaipa – Treasure House

You said you were going way out on a limb with this one. Yep, you did. Too bad I didn’t like it that much. But don’t worry: it’s a decent song, and it’s happy.

7.3/10


Nihil-Morari: Sigur Ros – Ara Batur

Happy shit!

7.8/10


MoraWintersoul: Lunatic Soul – Summerland (remix)

Strangely beautiful song. Peaceful too, like you said. Interesting.

8.1/10


crazyaga: Sigur Ros – Se Lest

More happy shit; slightly happier than the previous happy shit!

8.3/10


black_floyd: Sting – Fields of Gold


I’ve heard some Sting and some songs by The Police, but I never really listened to it. I’ve probably heard this song before, it sounded familiar. Anyway, great song, really light, beautiful and relaxing. Almost a bit too simple though (instrumentally).

8.4/10


Scorpion: Extreme – Play With Me

This is a happy song, don’t worry. And it’s great! The intro is fantastic (fuck yeah, Mozart) and overall it’s just a great metal/rock song that’s also very uplifting. Great idea!

8.5/10


Lolzeez: Moody Blues – “Morning” Another Morning

Yay, this is a happy and beautiful song! It reminded me a tiny bit of early Pink Floyd, especially the vocals. It’s a good song to cheer you up in the early morning. The lyrics are good and are happy like the rest of the song, but the thing that stands out for me is the outro. It’s really, really beautiful. FANTASTIC! It reminds me of The Hobbit movie, which was great. Great song!

8.9/10


Dr. DTVT: Frost* - Experiments in Mass Appeal

This is a happy song, and a very good one too. Really proggy, it doesn’t drag and it’s beautiful. Nice one.

8.8/10


Elite: Spock’s Beard – June

Lol, I think we even watched Flying Colors perform this one during the gig we attended, remember? Anyway, I’d forgotten to check out SB in the meantime, so you had every right to send this. Score!

9.2/10

STANDINGS:
Scorpion 52.0
Nihil-Morari 50.7
Elite 50.1
Big Hath 50.1
black_floyd 49.4
crazyaga 49.3
MoraWintersoul 49.3
Dr. DTVT 48.2
Lolzeez 48.2
lonestar 45.4

I checked all the scores again, and found a few minor mistakes in my counting, so these are the corrected and accurate standings.



FORBIDDEN LIST UPDATE
Added:
Extreme
Frost*
Lunatic Soul
Moody Blues
Sigur Ros
Spock's Beard
Sting


ROUND 7: ANOTHER UNORIGINAL ROUND BUT WHO GIVES A SHIT?

Winning isn't what I want to do. (Prob cause I can't make a comeback that epic.) I want to share underrated prog bands that only have 3 fans. So,I just sent a fun little song. I don't think anyone on the forum has ever heard of this song/band before. Here I go.

Sorry guys, I'm almost done but I just can't concentrate anymore. I've attended 8 hours of lectures and practicals today even though I was ill, and I'm just so fucked up now. I'll definitely finish it tomorrow though, and probably in the morning too. One last thing: crazyaga sent me another song over 10 minutes, I'll ask him to send again.

ROUND 7 RESULTS

This is one of the closest rounds so far I think!

Elite: Pain of Salvation – Iter Impius

Great song, though I’m not particularly fond of the vocals. It’s a cool song and I love the piano intro, but I don’t think it’s absolutely amazing. I guess I just don’t really like PoS or something.

7.8/10

Lolzeez: Solaris – M’ars Poetica
Really interesting prog instrumental from the eighties. I’m curious why this is such an unknown band, ’cause this is good stuff.

8.0/10


lonestar: Karnya – When The Silence Remains...

Hey man, good news for you! I like it :) It’s way better than your previous entries.

8.2/10


Dr. DTVT: Evergrey – Recreation Day

Really cool proggy metal song with some great solos, vocals and softer parts. Great!

8.3/10


Big Hath: Riverside – Reality Dream III

More prog instrumentals! This one’s great too, really heavy. I like it.

8.5/10


black_floyd: Gordian Knot – Muttersprache

Another great instrumental. Some great solos, it doesn’t drag, it’s cool. Don’t know what else to say really :P

8.5/10


MoraWintersoul: Seventh Wonder – Hide and Seek

Hey, this is a really cool entry. It’s proggy as I requested. It has some really cool sections, and the singer is good. The lyrics are good, and it’s from a concept album as well? I should listen to this album sometime!

8.7/10


crazyaga: Dark Suns – Megalomaniacs

Wow, what a fantastic mellow prog rock song. I love it! The vocals are great. Everything is so subtle; it reminds me of Heritage by Opeth a bit. And that’s good, ‘cause Heritage is one of my favourite Opeth albums. I also love the subtle piano and accordion sounds. It’s fantastic!

9.0/10


Scorpion: Ozric Tentacles – Coily

You said this was somewhat progish? Well, I think this definitely is prog. And it’s great! Nice instrumental that never once drags. Fantastic.

9.0/10


Nihil-Morari: Transatlantic – Mystery Train

Woohoo, Transatlantic. I had listened to The Whirlwind once or twice and then I’d forgotten all about them. Well, I shouldn’t have. This is great.

9.2/10

And now, we're on a highway to hell. I've got a baaaad feeling about this.
ROUND 8: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GARBAGE?!?!?! MY FUCKING EARS ARE BLEEDING
Send me a song of one of the following genres that I absolutely do not like!

Hip-hop/rap
Most electronic shit (dubstep, techno, house, dance, you get the point...)
Deathcore/grindcore
R&B/soul
German folk music (Schlager to be more precise)
Dutch folk music (smartlappen in particular)
Gospel
J-pop, K-pop etc

A few important points here.

- I must be able to easily identify the song you send me with one (or more) of the previously mentioned genres. In other words, if you send me a song that's for example only partly electronic, I may decide that it doesn't fit the theme well enough, and I have every right to ask for another. I will listen to the song once as soon as I receive it to determine this, in order to prevent chaos ensuing after the deadline is over.
- If you think you have found a genre that I hate as much as those previously mentioned, you may ask me in this thread. For I probably forgot some genres, and if you manage to find another one I will add it to the list.
- Banned specifically for this round (might update this during the round, I will tell you if I do)
   - Radiohead (still want to listen to them sometime, and Kid A is entirely electronic IIRC)
   - more might be added

The deadline for this round is this Sunday, 21:00 CET.

Mmhh... I feel that I should send you some Schlager, simply out of patriotism, but you're right that it's mostly dreck. :lol :lol

Let's see what I can dig up. I have an idea, but I'm not sure if you would count that.

Oh yeah, and Ozric is fucking awesome. I should thank Ytse for that one.
