Forgot to send one, but I've always loved this short sketch by Kay & Peele, Weird Playlist and would have definitely sent it.

Check out all 5 parts. #3 is my fave.

Never heard of Bill Burr. Thought that was the Smashing Pumpkins guy. The College Humor vids are usually great. Rodney is a Only-First-Name-Needed legend.

Good epics coming in. Need 3 more (Elite, I think you need to resubmit, check your PM).

You also need to watch Bill Burr on heavy metal, and power ballads.  Hilarious.

Elite, sorry I messed up my file of who sent what. I got everyone else figured out but was unsure of your status.

Waiting on you, Twosuitsluke, and Sacul.

Just realized I got two songs from the same album. No issue with me.

The first three minutes of Home's song is already his best submission.

Hoping to get results posted tomorrow!

TAC has an 11 point lead over 3rd place. He is guaranteed at least a 2nd place finish. With a 3 point lead over Jingle, can he bring in Mariano Rivera to close it out? Will Jingle pass him on the home stretch?

Round 8 results!

Sacul: Riverside - Hybrid Times   
9   
   
Is this rock? Is this metal? Is it prog-metal? Is it electronica? Is it from a Metroid game? No idea. But it is great!

Jingle.boy: Tangerine Circus - The Conspiracy
9   

Great song, a mixed bag of what a prog-metal epic should include.

kingshmegland: The Network - No More Pain
8   
   
Good epic prog rock song. Lots of layers, sections, diveristy, didn't feel as long as its 17+ minutes.

Stadler: Whitesnake - Forevermore   
8   
   
My knowledge of Whitesnake begins and ends with their Self-Titled album, thanks to MTV and the video with the chick dancing on the car. Wouldn’t have guessed this was the same band. Great song. Stadler's Wild Card was: The Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station

Parama: Tetrafusion - Perfect Silence   
8   
   
Beautiful intro. Had a Gabriel Knight vibe (if anyone gets that reference). Instrumental sections all over the place, mostly good though, strong vocals.

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Keldian - The Last Frontier   
8   
   
First submission was Highlander, after TAC sent it in. "A different type of epic" he says about the Last Frontier. Epics don't have to be long! Get in, kick ass, get out. Awesome.

home: Mastodon - The Czar   
8   
   
Home scores big in garbage time. Face-melting guitar, very doom-y, eerie feel to it.

TAC: Lost Horizon - Highlander   
8   
   
TAC brings in Mariano Rivery to close it out. Not a perfect 1-2-3 inning though, a little repetitive at times. Harmonies were majestic.

Elite: Headspace - Daddy Fucking Loves You   
7   
   
Awkwardest song title in my little roulette. Really liked the gear it kicked in to around 4:00. Took a wrong turn around 6:30, got back on track quickly, finished up strong.  A bit of a mixed bag. Probably not something I will revisit, but a good listen.

Tomislav95: Mastodon - The Last Baron   
6   
   
Not too bad, but nothing too memorable. I liked the faster parts more than the slower parts, but do appreciate how balanced the song is for a 13 minuter.

Twosuitsluke: Avenged Sevenfold - Strength of the World   
6   
   
Didn't know anything about this band till Portnoy joined them after leaving DT. Some cool instrumentation here, didn't feel very "epic" though. Vocals didn't do anything for me.

FINAL STANDINGS

TAC:    69
jingle.boy:    67
Tomislav95:    58
Stadler:    57
Twosuitsluke:    56
Shadow Ninja 2.0:    54
Kingshmegland:    54
Elite:   53
Parama:    52
Sacul:    51
home:    27

WRAP-UP

Thank you all for participating! I got exposed to lots of new bands, some I knew about but didn’t know any of their material, others I’d never heard of. Highlights are: Innerwish, Ghost, Lords of Black, Heavenly, Avantasia, Anathema, and Genesis*. Best song submission goes to “Square Hammer,” which I realized I liked more and more after I scored that round. If it is customary to give the winner a prize, I can throw something together for you TAC.

Indeed an excellent time was had.  Great job keeping this thing moving Chris.  Hope you enjoy all the new bands you're gonna have to make time for.

Congrats to Timmy as well.  I'll get you my pretty.... and your little doggie too!

P.S.  Glad you enjoyed The Conspiracy.  Tangerine Circus is a band straight outta DTF ... Our very own hostage taker - DarkLord_Lalinc - is the keyboardist for the band.  I'd been waiting for the right time to use them, and this was finally it.  The album is fantastic if you happen to be able to give the whole thing a spin.  The Dark Lord provides some of the vocals as well - I'm just not sure which tracks.

No way. Does he still post here? And what hostages did he take?

Yeah, he's active.  And you only need to follow the post-your-pic thread (though, ironically... he hasn't posted there in a while).  He was often posting pics that was always himself and at least 1 (usually more) hot chick(s).  He earned the reputation of 'hostage taker'.  Shit, he even took mrs.jingle hostage once - on ProgNation at Sea.  Damn... that was almost 4 years ago!

Tim, what a fucking final submission, epic Lost Horizon song. Congrats.

When someone says epic, it's always the first song I think of. I haven't used it before because I just don't think it's for everyone.  In the first round, Chris mentioned the "Hey"s in the Innerwish as being cheesey, but I was committed to Highlander. When I heard Chad's epic, I was worried. I thought Highlander might get the Battlescar treatment.
