Genowyn-Protest the Hero-Blindfolds Aside: This one was very close to the edge between like and dislike (more exactly between like and meh) but I gave it too you. The music was great but the singer got very grating. Also, when it got really quite, that was by far the best part of the song. This would probably go under dislike if I didn't feel like utter shit for taking 2 weeks for the last round. I have to say though, the last few minutes really are awesome and if the song was like that all the way through, it would have been better than the song as a whole.

orcus116-Fleetwood Mac-Oh Well: You were right. This definitely plays to my classic rock/blues area of my music tastes. After the first listen, I did not know what to make of it, but now, I definitely dig it. Very bluesy and pretty cool.

Cthrubuoy-Tool-The Grudge: The second Tool song from the roulette. The second badass one as well.
This song was awesome with heavy ass instruments and Manyard was great. Not much to say, it was just a cool song and solidified my need to check more Tool out ASAP.

True Death of Life-Andrew Lloyd Weber's Jesus Christ Superstar-Heaven on their Minds: So, what to say? This was a pretty good song. Very broadway-ish(der!) and the singer (Judas I presume) was absolutely amazing. Some of the notes he hit and the way he hit them...wow! What else? It was catchy, it was cool, and I'm not sure if you know this but Queensryche covered this. Maybe you want to check this out. I think we need to get together and watch the movie. I own it, I just have not seen it yet.

Marvelous G-Eric Clapton-Old Love(live): I will admit, from Clapton's many bands, I don't know 1/20th of the work he has produced, but what I have listened to makes him in my top couple of guitarists ever. The way he relays his emotions through his guitar is second to none, and he is just a great overall musician. Now, this song was not his best, but I could easily ignore some of the parts I didn't like just for the insane and incredibly awesome blues jams at random intervals. DAT TONE!!!! HOLY SHIT!!! I want his talent.

Dislike:
LieLowTheWantedMan-Mastodon-Bloody and Thunder: Let me preface this by saying that I loved Cracke the Skye as a whole album. In fact, I thought it was one of the better albums of the year, but this didn't do it for me. I loved the riffery but I couldn't dig the vocals. I think I need to stick with Mastodon now, not in the past.

DTVT-Therion-Der Mitternachtslöwe: There came a time about 2 years ago when I thought symphonic metal was me. A great blend of heavy and epic without cheese(yeah, looking back, there is lots of cheese) A few songs that stuck with me after the fad ended was Epica's Cry for the Moon, Nightwish's Bye Bye Beautiful, and Therion's Son of the Staves of Time, so this is not my first Therion experience. This song, while not as good as Son of the Staves of Time, is ok. It is on the fence between like and dislike and as I listen to it for the last time and type this, I think it shall end up on the wrong side of the like/dislike barrier.

zklhko-Buckethead-Peppers Ghost: Listen, frankly, I don't care what happens for what I say here. I don't dig instrumentals, nothing I can do. Buckethead is talented but I don't dig his music. I expect to get shit but there is nothing I can do.

Birchboy-Scavenger of Human Sorrow: Music is badass here but I'm not digging the vocals. Yeah, I know I am cutting on the world's first death metal band. I frankly don't care. I expect to get shit but whatever. I can take it.
Winner of the whole thing is Cthrubuoy with 41 points. Then Genowyn and Marvelous G with 38, then Orcus with 36, then True Death of Life with 29. All the others wagered everything and lost, leaving them with 0 points. I am sorry for the epic failure that was this last round.
Special thanks to Cthrubuoy for Lord of the Blacksmiths, Serenity Painted Death, Don't Believe a Word and A Darkened Mind, Birch for Vicarious and National Acrobat, DTVT for Ten Thousand Strong, The Zoo, Love?, and Inferno (Unleash the Fire) True Death of Life for Meloncholy, Fuck Her Gently and I'd Love to Change the World, Letters for Only for the Weak, and Marvelous G for Slow Dancing in a Burning Room.
I will probably have a follow up thread for the music I have liked and I'll ask for recommendations.
