Title: ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS
Post by: ariich on September 24, 2021, 04:19:00 PM
ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – let’s go back in time!

I trailed this already in the roulette tracker thread, but it recently occurred to me how much more music I know from 2000 onwards than from the last century. It's like, 80s and earlier really not much, 90s a bit more, and then 2000+ shitloads of music. Check it out from my RYM (click to enlarge):

Modern production and stylings are generally more my thing, which largely explains it, but the difference is vast and in my roulettes I do get sent some older gems. It’s just understandably risky to do that when others are sending me newer music.

So this time, we’re going old school. Fogeys, this is your chance for redemption! Six rounds, first three rounds limited to pre-1990, two rounds pre-2000, and then final round unrestricted.


SUBMISSIONS:


BANNED ARTISTS AND ALBUMS:

As in previous roulettes, banned artists are based on my RYM profile (https://rateyourmusic.com/~ariich – scroll down to the "music" section and you can use the "ratings" tab to browse what I've rated, but more useful is the "Search ariich's music for" bar to see if something you're thinking of is already in my list - if you really can't figure it out, just ask!). The banned rules are simpler this time:

OTHER INFO:

MY TASTES:
Here’s what I posted last time about my tastes. This all still applies, although it’s interesting to consider how it applies to music from different eras (particularly when it comes to things like production).

I have a general leaning towards rock and metal, but I like music from pretty much any other genre too, as will be clear from my RYM profile. It’s a bit of a cliché, but broadly speaking the stuff I like the most is that which evokes a feeling in me, or makes me want to immerse myself in it. But there are completely different ways that music can do that, which depending on the style could contrast or could complement. An incomplete list of ways that music can, but does not necessarily, speak to me includes:
I’d say that all my favourite music hits at least one of those, often more. And if something is particularly weak in one or more of those areas, it would normally need to really excel in others to compensate. But to be honest, I’m unpredictable and something might tick all those boxes and still just not really speak to me. So good luck.

My RYM ratings are probably a useful reference point, particularly on albums I rate 4 stars or higher, if used sensibly. Essentially everything 4 stars and above I consider to be excellent. Within that, the stuff that I rate even higher (4.5-5 stars) really just comes down to how much it really grabs me and I normally can’t explain why. Higher ratings tend to come either after many listens if something is new, or if I'm already very familiar with an artist then it can happen quicker. With completely new stuff, I don’t often commit to a 4.5 star rating (and basically never a 5 star rating) after only a few listens. So if you're trying to judge what I might like a lot, taking in everything 4 stars and up is a good starting point, and higher ratings can of course be considered but may not be as reliable (to the extent that anything is very reliable, which is not much).

Stuff I rate 3.5 stars I still consider very good, but there's normally something about it that I find lacking for whatever reason. Even more so for 3 stars which is basically "pretty good but not very exciting". 2.5 stars and lower I'd probably never choose to listen to it again.

The fact that these lists don't include anything from 2000 onwards, which is most of the music I know, should indicate how ridiculous it would be if I tried to produce a banned list for a normal roulette. That's why I do the RYM approach instead! :lol

It occurs to me from a question someone asked that I should explain that the banned lists are the bands/albums I've heard from the period, and that just because I've heard them it doesn't mean I liked them. There's a huge variety. If you want to check, best thing to do is look at my RYM (linked in the OP).

  • The one exception is that there’s no maximum length (i.e. you can go above 25 minutes) if you’re only sending one track. And by “one track”, I mean one track, not “multiple tracks but really it’s one song I swear” (Chad!).

As someone who spent his teenage years in the 80s and his young adult years in the 90s, I feel like I should participate here.

And how does this work? I can sent a couple of songs for each artist in each round, as long as it isn't longer than 25 minutes?

So if you want someone to send some cheesy 80s and 90s rock & pop I would join if you still take participants.

Sent a band there is absolutely zero chance anyone else will send.

What decade?

80s

Damn. I hope he didn't take one of mine. Lol.

Think it's a safe bet I didn't

I overestimated how much 80s stuff I'm familiar with, lot of it is from my teenage metalhead days. :lol I have some ideas though, I'll try to send tomorrow.
Cool, as I said there's no immediate hurry, I probably won't close sign-ups and first submissions until maybe Tuesday to give more people a chance to join.

Sure thing, completely appreciate this roulette isn't exactly tailored to you really. Still a nice surprise that you signed up, so if you do manage to get enough submissions together I'm keen to see what you come up with!


I've now got submissions from more than half the people who signed up either in here or the tracker thread, so a good start!

EDIT: Also a reminder - you don't need to use the full 25 minutes! :P Thankfully a couple of people have sent shorter submissions, for which I am very grateful.

A very cool side effect of this roulette, I'm digging into artists that I really haven't listened to in decades. Holy shit the memories man, I really wonder why I left these bands idle for so long, but there's always an influx of new music as well, and only so many hours in the day.

Thanks for making the opportunity for me to trip down memory lane bud, I was so fortunate to grow up with some really good fucking music man.


(also still remember all the lyrics even after 20/30 years, so yay me for not burning out all those neural pathways with drugs and booze lol)

This is awesome, very glad it's a byproduct of the roulette! I was finding the same thing with that retro top albums list thread, especially once we got into the 90s, I found myself going back to albums I hadn't heard in a decade or more and where I remembered most of the lyrics. :lol Love that feeling.

It's not an obvious one, and the rest of the submission is fine.

It's going to be interesting to see if the 25 minute thing has any weight in the ratings.  Could go both ways I guess.

With this many participants, I’m sure 25 minutes is a tall order. I guess I kind of assumed more is better (and a bigger sample per artist was preferred), but I can certainly narrow it down for future submissions.

Same.  Initially thought more is better, bit depending on what Rich thinks, more could hurt your score.

More isn't better or worse, really. One of my favourite first impressions so far has been one of the under-20-minutes.

There's honestly no pressure, people should do what feels right to introduce me to an artist and their style. Personally when I've been in roulettes like this, my longer submissions have been those where I've wanted to showcase different sides of an artist, whereas if the songs I'm sending are pretty similar in style, I feel less need to max out the time.

There's no right or wrong here.

sending sub 10 minutes lowers the chance of a swing and a miss for me
Title: Re: ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – let’s go back in time!
Post by: ariich on September 26, 2021, 02:54:33 PM
I think it also depends on how long an artists songs are. If they're 2-3 minutes long, that'll be potentially 10 tracks to max out the time, and that's just not necessary by way of introduction.

Anyway, the only person who said in the tracker thread he wanted to join but hasn't sent me anything yet is Elite, but it's the weekend so I'm not going to chase. I also figure one or two other people might make late sign-ups in the next day or two.

T'other Rich has confirmed that he's still playing, he's just had a really busy weekend. It's no problem at all, I myself find that a first round takes the longest/most thinking to gear up to in terms of the rules, scope, figuring out options to send.

My plan is to leave things open until tomorrow (Tuesday) to also give anyone else a chance to join, and then we'll get started on hangman and first impressions.

Judas Priest ones I think could be;

The Sentinel
Exciter
Beyond the Realms of Death
Dissident Aggressor
The Hellion
Electric Eye

Not in the right order but pretty sure these are right.

Two of the Kate Bush entries are Hounds of Love and The Big Sky.

Oh, the other two are Cloudbursting and Jig of Life. All from Hounds of Love which is spectacular and something I was considering sending at some point.

I considered sending stuff from The Dreaming and The Sensual World but I just prefer Hounds of Love a lot more tbh.

As a general rule, how well I rate one artist (good or bad) should not be taken as indicative of a whole genre. I'd say pay more attention to the stylistic elements that I do or don't like.

Post by: ariich on September 28, 2021, 03:21:48 PM
By the way, here are:

Round 1 first impressions

Very cool, very laid back, pretty nice stuff. [Elite – Chet Baker]
Simple, but elegantly sincere and rather lovely. [Cyril – Jim Croce]
More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag. [Sacul – Kate Bush]
This slaps! One of these could end up being the best song of the round. [Kwyjibo – Level 42]
This rocks! One of these really taps into a style I’ve been digging recently. [TAC – Gary Moore]
Entertaining enough and a fun energy, but I was hoping for stronger hooks. [wolfking – W.A.S.P.]
Warmth, good melodies and a slight quirkiness that’s up my alley - strong start. [king – Supertramp]
I’m digging the production and the rich sound, but it’s a little… unexciting maybe? [romdrums – Tears for Fears]
Nice collection of songs, each a little different, some more interesting than others. [Stadler – Billy Joel]
Didn’t blow me away but has a really cool fusion of styles that I very much enjoyed. [Nekov – P’cock]
Great vibe, love the sound, but musically it’s not doing anything for me on first listen. [HOF – The Blue Nile]
This sounds like the sort of thing you’d send me in a normal roulette, and that’s no bad thing. [Evermind – Joan Baez]
Rather cheesy and rather theatrical and rather great – I’m liking this more than I thought I might. [jingle – Styx]
A bit lacking in melody for my tastes, but I found myself enjoying the riffing more than I expected. [Buddy – Slayer]
A couple of weaker songs melodically, but a nice energy and groove and there’s some great stuff in here. [lonestar – Triumph]
Wow, so I weirdly hated the first track, but it got a lot better after that although I’m not sold on the vocals. [Puppies – Judas Priest]
Cool change of pace - pretty sure I’ve never heard this band before and yet I’m familiar with half the songs. [Luke – Operation Ivy]
This isn’t a style I normally go for as evidenced by an almost complete lack of it in my RYM, but this was actually quite cool. [Ruba – Killing Joke]

Cheesy and theatrical definitely describes Chad's submission.


Incredible tunes also describes it.

More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag.
Didn’t blow me away but has a really cool fusion of styles that I very much enjoyed.
This sounds like the sort of thing you’d send me in a normal roulette, and that’s no bad thing.
A couple of weaker songs melodically, but a nice energy and groove and there’s some great stuff in here.

I think I can narrow it down to these 4.

Rather cheesy and rather theatrical and rather great – I’m liking this more than I thought I might.
Yes indeed!

Yes! My original playlist had the studio version, plus Wild Frontier, but it was 25:14 or something like that, so I deleted Wild Frontier and went with the live version, and was still under 25m.

It's a shame the Stockholm version was never officially released on CD but the We Want Moore version is the next best thing.

Hmmm....a shame Wild Frontier has to be cut, that's a fav of mine from Gary.

Warmth, good melodies and a slight quirkiness that’s up my alley - strong start.

This one isn't claimed yet and I'm pretty sure it isn't mine. But the connection (if intentional) to the most prominent instrument in my songs is there, so maybe?

Very cool, very laid back, pretty nice stuff.

More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag.
Great vibe, love the sound, but musically it’s not doing anything for me on first listen.
A couple of weaker songs melodically, but a nice energy and groove and there’s some great stuff in here.
This isn’t a style I normally go for as evidenced by an almost complete lack of it in my RYM, but this was actually quite cool.

I'm thinking it's the first one, but the other four are optional as well. It is pretty upbeat, so that's a possibility, and of course it's a mixed bag; it's songs from over his career, with him on trumpet AND on lead vocals. I could understand that it wouldn't be doing anything for you musically, even though you'd enjoy the sound of it, but I hope it's not the 'weak melodically' comment, that would be a small insult to his beautiful phrasing. It could even be your last one; you barely have any vocal jazz, but that might be a stretch.

Probably not far off, I'd guess sometime tomorrow. I managed to get into a good rhythm with Friday results in my last roulette so will see if I can manage the same again, although that may depend on how busy I am at work.

I thought your list was very solid, though I'm not the hugest Exciter or Dissident Aggressor fan.  I might have dropped both and put in Sinner, but that's me.  I'm also a fan of Point of Entry, so maybe I'm not the best judge!  :)

Round 1 first impressions

More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag.
This rocks! One of these really taps into a style I’ve been digging recently.
Entertaining enough and a fun energy, but I was hoping for stronger hooks.
I’m digging the production and the rich sound, but it’s a little… unexciting maybe?
Great vibe, love the sound, but musically it’s not doing anything for me on first listen.

Cool change of pace - pretty sure I’ve never heard this band before and yet I’m familiar with half the songs.
This isn’t a style I normally go for as evidenced by an almost complete lack of it in my RYM, but this was actually quite cool.


Not much good left to choose from. Hoping for the last one, but it seems I've stumbled out of the gate..

As long as the recording was from before 1990, then yes I'll allow it.

Others have asked me about live versions as well so I'll also say here for everyone's benefit: absolutely fine to include them - it's rare that I prefer a live version to the studio version, but it does happen very occasionally.

And here are the revealed first impressions:

By the way, here are:

Round 1 first impressions

Very cool, very laid back, pretty nice stuff. [Elite – Chet Baker]
Simple, but elegantly sincere and rather lovely. [Cyril – Jim Croce]
More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag. [Sacul – Kate Bush]
This slaps! One of these could end up being the best song of the round. [Kwyjibo – Level 42]
This rocks! One of these really taps into a style I’ve been digging recently. [TAC – Gary Moore]
Entertaining enough and a fun energy, but I was hoping for stronger hooks. [wolfking – W.A.S.P.]
Warmth, good melodies and a slight quirkiness that’s up my alley - strong start. [king – Supertramp]
I’m digging the production and the rich sound, but it’s a little… unexciting maybe? [romdrums – Tears for Fears]
Nice collection of songs, each a little different, some more interesting than others. [Stadler – Billy Joel]
Didn’t blow me away but has a really cool fusion of styles that I very much enjoyed. [Nekov – P’cock]
Great vibe, love the sound, but musically it’s not doing anything for me on first listen. [HOF – The Blue Nile]
This sounds like the sort of thing you’d send me in a normal roulette, and that’s no bad thing. [Evermind – Joan Baez]
Rather cheesy and rather theatrical and rather great – I’m liking this more than I thought I might. [jingle – Styx]
A bit lacking in melody for my tastes, but I found myself enjoying the riffing more than I expected. [Buddy – Slayer]
A couple of weaker songs melodically, but a nice energy and groove and there’s some great stuff in here. [lonestar – Triumph]
Wow, so I weirdly hated the first track, but it got a lot better after that although I’m not sold on the vocals. [Puppies – Judas Priest]
Cool change of pace - pretty sure I’ve never heard this band before and yet I’m familiar with half the songs. [Luke – Operation Ivy]
This isn’t a style I normally go for as evidenced by an almost complete lack of it in my RYM, but this was actually quite cool. [Ruba – Killing Joke]

 :smiley:

Yeah, I did look at your RYM and saw that lot of stuff I like is in 2,5-3,5 range. :lol And because you didn't have much post-punk or gothic rock this was bit of a wild card but hopefully it works.

jim croce passed away the day before i got a name was released as a single!

I am not up on my Jim Croce, but Cats In The Cradle is a tremendous song, especially lyrically. I literally tear up thinking of my father every time I hear it.

Oh, and as far as Joan Baez's Diamonds And Rust... Been listening to the Priest version since probably 1981, but up until a few months ago, I had literally never heard the Joan Baez version. I pulled up this video on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ST9TZBb9v8

Being written about Bob Dylan, the old pictures of the two of them adds to the song. I think I watched this video every night for about a month after I had seen it.

Tremendous!

I thought about the classics, but I always liked the deeper cuts more.  Almost put Animal in there though as the opener haha.  It would be interesting though if Rich thought these lacked melody how these ones would go.  I thought songs like Mean Man and Rebel were quite melodic, that's why I sent them I guess lol.

I just think those are their best songs. I did buy The Headless Children when it came out, but I guess I was on to other things, and it never really stuck. WASP, for me, is really about those first three albums. I did enjoy Golgotha though.

ROUND 1 RESULTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buddy – Slayer
1. Angel of Death
2. South of Heaven
3. Raining Blood

First impression: A bit lacking in melody for my tastes, but I found myself enjoying the riffing more than I expected.

Final opinion:  Not the strongest start for the reigning champion, but I appreciate this roulette is not exactly tailor-made for you. So, Slayer. I was already pretty familiar with Raining Blood, and do quite like it. I wouldn’t say I love it though, and the little other stuff I’d previously heard from Slayer (including seeing them live at a festival with the other Big 4) hadn’t attracted me to checking them out further. I’m not sure this has entirely changed my mind, but I did enjoy all three of these songs. The riffing isn’t especially interesting, but it’s fast and energetic and I found myself getting into it and nodding along. There’s also an intensity and ferociousness that was pretty ahead of their time really. I’ve decided I’ll check out at least one full album from every artist submitted unless I dislike it, which isn’t the case here.

Score: 7.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Puppies – Judas Priest
1. Exciter
2. Beyond the Realms of Death
3. Dissident Aggressor
4. The Hellion
5. Electric Eye
6. The Sentinel

First impression: Wow, so I weirdly hated the first track, but it got a lot better after that although I’m not sold on the vocals.

Final opinion: Alright, so I don’t hate Excited quite so much now, musically it’s ok if not especially exciting (ironically). But the production and performance are such a turn-off. Halford’s screeching is too shrill, and the guitar lead sounds really weak and amateurish. After that, things mostly improve enormously, although still sitting comfortably in the good-but-not-great range. Electric Eye and The Sentinel are easily my favourites here - a bigger sound, lots of energy and some good hooks - I definitely enjoy the second half of your submission enough to understand why people like Priest. This suggests I might enjoy some of their 80s output, so I’ll give those albums a chance, but to be honest I’m not feeling confident that I’ll get past Halford’s voice which I’ve just never found appealing.

Score: 7.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOF – The Blue Nile
1. Over the Hillside
2. Tinseltown in the Rain
3. Heatwave
4. The Wires Are Down

First impression: Great vibe, love the sound, but musically it’s not doing anything for me on first listen.

Final opinion: Ok let’s start with the positives. I love the sound here, and would not have guessed it was from the 80s. I guess it’s probably been remastered more recently in terms of the fullness of the sound, but the style and the mix honestly sounds not dissimilar to what some synthpop and electronic artists are doing these days. Very chilled vibes and creative use of different sounds and ideas. The problem I had was how little I was getting from it musically. However, I’ve softened on that, and after multiple listens it has grown on me a bit - Heatwave especially did not interest me at all at first, but now has a really nice groove to it that kind of reminds me of Lemon Jelly. So overall I definitely like it, I just wish the music lived up to the production.

Score: 7.4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
wolfking – W.A.S.P.
1. On Your Knees
2. Mean Man
3. Restless Gypsy
4. Hellion
5. Rebel in the F.D.G.

First impression: Entertaining enough and a fun energy, but I was hoping for stronger hooks.

Final opinion: W.A.S.P. have always struck me as a band that would hit on all the features of 80s rock and metal that I’ve found off-putting in the past. And in some ways, that sort of is the case. The music is pretty cheesy, the lyrics more so. Thankfully I seem to have got over that phase, and don’t find those features, in themselves, a problem especially when there are strong hooks or a big sense of fun (see my Styx review later on). The latter is the case here, maybe not as big and over-the-top as I might have expected but still highly enjoyable. But I find myself not fully getting into most of these songs because of a lack of good hooks. Not that the songs aren’t melodic, just that I mostly don’t find the melodies very interesting or memorable. Hellion is great, although I sort of knew that already from the Children of Bodom cover. The rest are all fine, but I’ve listened a bunch of times now and couldn’t tell you what they sound like.

Score: 7.5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sacul – Kate Bush
1. Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)
2. Hounds of Love
3. The Big Sky
4. Cloudbusting
5. Jig of Life

First impression: More upbeat than I was expecting - pleasant but a bit of a mixed bag.

Final opinion: I’d admittedly not heard very much Kate Bush, but from what little I’d heard I was expecting something more emotive and melancholy in tone. So my first listen to these songs was very much a case of recalibrating. Once I’d done that, I rather enjoyed them, if not quite as consistently as I would have liked. I love Jig of Life, which has a really charming celtic energy to it but also experiments and doesn’t go where you think it will. Genuinely captivating stuff that’s got better with each listen. The other four songs by comparison are pretty straightforward pop songs. None really stands out to me as especially interesting, but they’re nice and each has different qualities to enjoy.

Score: 7.6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stadler – Billy Joel
1. Vienna
2. An Innocent Man
3. Scandinavian Skies
4. The Night is Still Young

First impression: Nice collection of songs, each a little different, some more interesting than others.

Final opinion: This was much closer to my expectation than Kate Bush, though my overall feelings about it are somewhat similar. My previous experience with Joel has been to love the odd song, but not find whole albums that interesting. This is sort of the case here, although a little more consistent in quality thanks to your curating. Vienna is the real standout here, seems like it’s a fan favourite and I can see why, it’s such a warm, catchy and immersive song. The rest aren’t quite so exciting, but they’re all nice, and I like the fact that they’re all a little different in mood or style. I do find it interesting that you didn’t include some of his other non-banned hits, which might have netted you a slightly higher score.

Score: 7.7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruba – Killing Joke
1. Love Like Blood

First impression: This isn’t a style I normally go for as evidenced by an almost complete lack of it in my RYM, but this was actually quite cool.

Final opinion: Post-punk isn’t a genre I know all that much about, or one that I’ve been particularly drawn to in the past. As you rightly observed, the few albums in the genre that I’ve rated on RYM haven’t tended to score very high. So this was a little risky, but actually I dig it. The style is moody but full of energy and momentum, with a sort of pulsating beat to it that’s kind of hypnotic. The sound also helps, it’s very punchy and adds to that sense of the rhythm driving the song forward. I also like how the guitars are used, as an effective supplement to the rhythm section rather than a main focal point.

Score: 7.8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
romdrums – Tears for Fears
1. Shout
2. Mothers Talk
3. Sowing the Seeds of Love
4. Swords and Knives

First impression: I’m digging the production and the rich sound, but it’s a little… unexciting maybe?

Final opinion: This submission is very much in two halves, and I have pretty different feelings about each. The first two songs come from Songs From the Big Chair, and are very much in a new wave, synthpop sort of style. They kind of remind me of Depeche Mode, but without the sense of melancholy that makes their best music so captivating. I love the sound of these two songs, but musically I’m still not finding them too exciting (even though I gather Shout is one of their biggest hits). The other two songs then are from The Seeds of Love, which seems to have a very different style, more of a pop-rock, psychedelic vibe. In some ways the production isn’t quite so interesting here, but the music is fanastic - really richly melodic and with some top-notch hooks, especially in the title track.

Score: 7.8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke – Operation Ivy
1. Knowledge
2. Sound System
3. Unity
4. Healthy Body

First impression: Cool change of pace - pretty sure I’ve never heard this band before and yet I’m familiar with half the songs.

Final opinion: As I said, I’ve never listened to Operation Ivy before. But as you pointed out in your submission, they were iconic and incredibly important for 90s punk rock, and so unsurprisingly their stuff has been covered A LOT. And it turns out I’m somewhat familiar with covers of two of these songs, just hadn’t realised they were covers (Green Day’s Knowledge and Reel Big Fish’s Unity). Their sound is a little raw for my tastes - especially the vocals that swing in and out of tune - but the energy and attitude is great and the songs are just very enjoyable.

Score: 7.9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite – Chet Baker
1. Do It the Hard Way
2. All the Things You Are
3. But Not For Me
4. My Funny Valentine
5. Stella By Starlight
6. There Will Never Be Another You

First impression: Very cool, very laid back, pretty nice stuff.

Final opinion: I wouldn’t say this type of smooth, laid-back jazz is a big thing for me really, as you can probably tell from my RYM. But this is a really nice selection of songs with a cool mix of styles. The two instrumental tunes have a bit more pace to them which I enjoy, and they have a pleasant atmosphere that reminds me of my university days when I quite often heard jazz bands in random bars in Bristol. Of the vocal songs, my favourite is easily his rendition of My Funny Valentine, which I love and which really suits his quiet style. The rest are also nice, but don’t quite do it for me - I think perhaps I’d have liked a bit more energy in his singing.

Score: 7.9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nekov – P’cock
1. The Prophet
2. The Actors Fun
3. N 1,4
4. Ban’cock

First impression: Didn’t blow me away but has a really cool fusion of styles that I very much enjoyed.

Final opinion: This was definitely a bit of a grower, and a nice obscure gem. As I said in my first impression, I immediately enjoyed the fusion of 70s-esque prog with new wave electronics that were coming in at the start of the 80s. The style kind of reminds me of some of Alan Parson’s stuff in that regard. Perhaps because it’s a little experimental, I wasn’t sure at first what I thought of it overall. But as I’ve got to know the songs better, I’ve been getting into them quite a bit. The Prophet is probably the weakest track, but still has a nice hypnotic groove to it. The other three are all great, just a really immersive sound and some great melodic ideas either in the vocals or on the synths.

Score: 8.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
lonestar – Triumph
1. Allied Forces
2. Somebody’s Out There
3. Fight the Good Fight
4. Lay It on the Line
5. Magic Power

First impression: A couple of weaker songs melodically, but a nice energy and groove and there’s some great stuff in here.

Final opinion: This submission is full of good quality hard-rock and a nice mix of styles. The weird thing is that Allied Forces seems to be their most popular album, and the one that you’ve included three songs from, but to me they’re the weaker songs here. The title track sounds like early Iron Maiden (like, Paul Di’Anno early), which is fun though doesn’t do much for me, and I don’t understand the love for Magic Power which sounds a little middle-of-the road. Thankfully Fight the Good Fight is much stronger, and the other two songs are excellent. Some definite Rush influences for sure, but all three of these songs have their own charm, a sense of groove and some cracking tunes.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
king – Supertramp
1. Give a Little Bit
2. The Logical Song
3. Breakfast in America
4. Take the Long Way Home
5. Crime of the Century

First impression: Warmth, good melodies and a slight quirkiness that’s up my alley - strong start.

Final opinion: This was the first submission I listened to, and it immediately made me glad to be doing this roulette. There seems to be a bit of an assumption that I’d know their hits, but honestly I don’t recall hearing any of these songs before. The first song is fairly straightforward and hasn’t really stood out to me, although it’s nice and the saxophone gives it a distinct flavour. The next three songs are all from Breakfast in America, and they’re all great. Strong melodies, great sound and a nice quirky pop style that’s totally my thing. And then finishing with something quite different, much more moody and with a gorgeous atmosphere in the amazing outro.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC – Gary Moore
1. Blood of Emeralds
2. Empty Rooms (Live)
3. The Loner

First impression: This rocks! One of these really taps into a style I’ve been digging recently.

Final opinion: I’ve definitely been into more folky music recently. My last couple of roulettes have introduced to some great folk metal, and I’ve very recently got into a mostly a cappella group that sings folk tunes and sea shanties. So the Irish folk stylings in Blood of Emeralds really tapped into that, and on top of that the song is full of great playing and melodies. Empty Rooms is a little weaker - I’m not sure whether it’s because it’s a live version or it’s just a less exciting song - but it has a good chorus and some really nice guitar work. And then The Loner is an absolutely gorgeous instrumental, cheesy in an 80s sort of way but also really sorrowful and lovely - Moore seems to strike a fantastic balance of embellishing without going over the top and it works so great on this track.

Score: 8.4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyril – Jim Croce
1. One Less Set of Footsteps
2. Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels)
3. I Got A Name

First impression: Simple, but elegantly sincere and rather lovely.

Final opinion: One of the shortest submissions, and one of the best. To be perfectly honest, I don’t have much to say beyond what I said in my first impression. The style is fairly simple folk/folk-rock from the early 70s, but everything about it is so delightfully done. The acoustic guitar work isn’t complex but has a nice intricacy to it, Croce’s voice is sweet and full of sincerity, and each of these three songs has a soft but emotional feel to it. And to think you almost didn’t play!

Score: 8.4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
jingle – Styx
1. A.D. 1928
2. Rockin’ the Paradise
3. Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)
4. Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)
5. Renegade
6. Pieces of Eight

First impression: Rather cheesy and rather theatrical and rather great – I’m liking this more than I thought I might.

Final opinion: I’ve not listened to Styx before, so never formed an opinion on them, but always got the impression they were “one of those cheesy 80s bands”. And I mean, in fairness, it turns out I wasn’t incorrect. But whereas ten years ago I might have found that off-putting, now I’m more interested in whether the tunes are good and the performances entertaining. In this round that’s not consistently been the case, but with Styx it seems I’ve been missing out. The three songs from Pieces of Eight especially are hitting me in just the right place. The theatricality is supremely enjoyable, and there are so many catchy hooks. The other songs are really good too, slightly more conventional but still melodically engaging.

Score: 8.4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kwyjibo – Level 42
1. 43
2. A Pharaoh's Dream (Of Endless Time)
3. A Floating Life
4. Man

First impression: This slaps! One of these could end up being the best song of the round.

Final opinion: Yes yes yes, this is great! I’ve of course heard of Level 42, they were huge in the UK back in the day, but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to them before and the main thing I knew about them was that they had a bassist. :lol Anyway one bar into the first track here and I was hooked. It’s just so wonderfully funky, it had me bopping along immediately from my first listen, and I’ve only come to like it more as I’ve got into all the little nuances. But I love that all four tracks here are quite different. A Pharaoh's Dream is maybe the least great as the vocals aren’t very interesting, but it’s still funky has a cool creepy vibe. Then A Floating Life is my favourite song of the whole round, everything about it is so insanely cool and unique. And then Man is another strong song. Amazing stuff, can’t wait to check them out properly.

Score: 8.5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evermind – Joan Baez
1. Love is Just a Four-Letter Word
2. Sweet Sir Galahad
3. Diamonds and Rust
4. Honest Lullaby

First impression: This sounds like the sort of thing you’d send me in a normal roulette, and that’s no bad thing.

Final opinion: Similar to Cyril’s Jim Croce submission in some ways, but even more lovely. The music and the sound are really delicate, and her writing is just so lush, especially in the middle two tracks. The combination of these factors - musically rich and instrumentally gentle - creates something quite beautiful, and really emotive in a kind and melancholy sort of way. Diamonds and Rust in particular just tugs really hard on the heartstrings, and gets to me in a similar way to the Marketa Irgolva you sent me last roulette. Thank you for doing this to me again!

Score: 8.6

I'll take that. Your review is pretty fair and spot on. I too first heard Knowledge when Green Day covered it (not sure if you noticed but Billie Joe is in that photo I posted of Op Ivy a few days ago).

They were so hugely influential on the American punk rock scene. Although I prefer Rancid on the whole (who we would never have had without Op Ivy), I do love the rawness of Op Ivy, from time to time.

The only other punk I think I send from the 80s would be something off Suffer by Bad Religion, but you already know them, so possibly some proto Doom metal next.

 :corn

Also, fair play Cyril, 3rd place when you basically have zero options of what to send for pre 90s  :lol

Fair assessment. I know a lot of people's biggest problem with Judas Priest is Robs voice. It's a love it or hate it kind of voice I guess.

In regards to Triumph, if I were to send them (which I considered), I would have included Ordinary Man and left off Allied Forces. You'd probably dig Ordinary Man a lot more, I think.

Also the W.A.S.P. picks are odd to me. :dunno:

Same with Kate Bush. Then again, I kind of understand Sacul's reasoning for picking those songs... Kate Bush has a VERY diverse catalog.

And how do you not send Scenes from an Italian Restaurant from Billy Joel...?

Middle of the pack, good! It's nice to read that you enjoyed My Funny Valentine the most; that's a beautiful rendition indeed and likely one of 'his' more well-known tunes. I'm a little torn on his singing myself as well. He's obviously good, but a whole album of him singing can get a little .. tedious? He's a fantastis trumpet player too, so glad you were able to appreciate that as well. Maybe I should have done a 50/50 split, instead of 4 songs with him on vocals and 2 on trumpet.

I'm definitely getting that sense. I'll give Hounds of Love, but am open to checking out one or two others as well - recommendations welcome (although I should say that she scored below 8/10, so isn't banned).

Yeah there's always a balance to find in roulettes between what you love and what you think the host will enjoy more. Sometimes I find I overthink it and would have done better just sending my own favourites, so it can go either way.

Perhaps, but it would probably have depended on the tunes themselves. In general I thought the balance was good, and there was still some trumpet in the vocal songs too.

I've always thought Allied Forces (song) was middle-tier, so I was surprised at that as a submission.  Hold On definitely would've been on my list, and it depending on time, I would've slapped Blinding Light Show in there if I could.  Ordinary Man would've been a priority too.

As for the Styx writeup... I'll take it!  Glad it scratched an itch for you.  I think I have my plan/strategy for the next 4 rounds all planned out.  Not totally cheating, but it lends itself that way.

As for the Styx writeup... I'll take it!  Glad it scratched an itch for you.  I think I have my plan/strategy for the next 4 rounds all planned out.  Not totally cheating, but it lends itself that way.

I thought about Blinding Light Show as well, but the length made it difficult to squeeze in there......

Must .... resist ..... obvious .... response .....

HOF – The Blue Nile
1. Over the Hillside
2. Tinseltown in the Rain
3. Heatwave
4. The Wires Are Down

First impression: Great vibe, love the sound, but musically it’s not doing anything for me on first listen.

Final opinion: Ok let’s start with the positives. I love the sound here, and would not have guessed it was from the 80s. I guess it’s probably been remastered more recently in terms of the fullness of the sound, but the style and the mix honestly sounds not dissimilar to what some synthpop and electronic artists are doing these days. Very chilled vibes and creative use of different sounds and ideas. The problem I had was how little I was getting from it musically. However, I’ve softened on that, and after multiple listens it has grown on me a bit - Heatwave especially did not interest me at all at first, but now has a really nice groove to it that kind of reminds me of Lemon Jelly. So overall I definitely like it, I just wish the music lived up to the production.

Score: 7.4


Well, the first impression had me fearing the worst, but this could have been worse. They are all about subtlety and minimalism with lush soundscapes that provide a vehicle for Paul Buchanan’s voice. I could have given you one or two other tracks that have a bit more going on, but for the most part this is what they do. I almost sent one that was even more minimalist, but decided that might hurt me. I guess I was right! I go through these periods where they are all I want to listen to. Hats is one of my top 5 albums of all time, and A Walk Across The Rooftops is really almost just as good. If you ever get a chance both are worth a full listen.

Depends what you mean by minimalist. I've no problem with subtle and minimal instrumentation - the Joan Baez songs that won the round didn't have very much going on, but they were rich in melody and harmony.

And yeah I'll certainly give a listen to those two albums. I'm going to make sure I check out every artist I'm sent, unless there are any I actively dislike.

Yeah Jig of Life is my favorite track of hers, glad you liked it. Her catalogue is quite varied tbh, I'd recommend The Dreaming if you want something more experimental, or 50 Words for Snow for a completely different, very emotional, ambient-ish, piano-driven experience.

I think I know what I'll send now, was about to go with some :metal stuff but maybe I'll go the folk route like Ev and Cyril did :P

romdrums – Tears for Fears
1. Shout
2. Mothers Talk
3. Sowing the Seeds of Love
4. Swords and Knives

First impression: I’m digging the production and the rich sound, but it’s a little… unexciting maybe?

Final opinion: This submission is very much in two halves, and I have pretty different feelings about each. The first two songs come from Songs From the Big Chair, and are very much in a new wave, synthpop sort of style. They kind of remind me of Depeche Mode, but without the sense of melancholy that makes their best music so captivating. I love the sound of these two songs, but musically I’m still not finding them too exciting (even though I gather Shout is one of their biggest hits). The other two songs then are from The Seeds of Love, which seems to have a very different style, more of a pop-rock, psychedelic vibe. In some ways the production isn’t quite so interesting here, but the music is fanastic - really richly melodic and with some top-notch hooks, especially in the title track.

Score: 7.8



Based on this, you'll really dig The Seeds of Love as an album.  I think they're both must own albums, but I think you may appreciate the looser, more organic nature of The Seeds of Love.  There's a lot of very lush moments on that album, the middle section of Swords and Knives being a particular highlight for me.  Happy exploring!

The Seeds of Love is wonderful (both of those TFF albums are). For my money, the big 3 80s art-pop albums would be The Seeds of Love, The Blue Nile's Hats, and Talk Talk's The Colour of Spring. But Kate Bush's Hounds of Love is way up there too. We had submissions from three of those in one round, and Talk Talk is banned already, so that might make me shift my send list a bit.

I suppose all of that is a bit subjective. I love the vocal melodies in these songs at least, but I definitely understand it not grabbing you. One man's minimalist is another man's boring probably.

Alrighty, I’ll take that score with pleasure.  ;D

Glad you liked Level 42. If you want to check them out further I would recommend starting with True Colours, that’s my personal favorite.

If you go backwards from there, you get a lot of cool, funky stuff, with lots of instrumentals and lots of bass. I like this period better than their later more pop-oriented direction.

Their most successful record is certainly Running In The Family, not bad but I would rank it more in the lower third. Not really funky anymore, more pop.

And from there on you get more and more pop and less and less funk. The bass isn’t really prominent anymore. Staring At The Sun is the last solid record, imo. After that you get one or two good songs per album, but all in all they don’t appeal to me anymore.

It's all downhill from here I guess. Enjoying the lead while it lasts!

Oh, and as far as Joan Baez's Diamonds And Rust... Been listening to the Priest version since probably 1981, but up until a few months ago, I had literally never heard the Joan Baez version. I pulled up this video on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ST9TZBb9v8

Being written about Bob Dylan, the old pictures of the two of them adds to the song. I think I watched this video every night for about a month after I had seen it.

Tremendous!

I honestly don't like Priest cover of this song very much, but love the original. Such an excellent song and it seems Rich agrees with this too.

OK, so on reflection, and the success of Cyril and Sacul's entries, I'm going to steer clear of metal the next round. I'll be sending later today, 90% sure on my entries at this point.

As I've said before:

As a general rule, how well I rate one artist (good or bad) should not be taken as indicative of a whole genre. I'd say pay more attention to the stylistic elements that I do or don't like.

vektor are kind of tolerable but i haven't thought of them in ages
i hated that king gizzard album so
there are like a few good classic thrash tracks i guess. i really like megadeth's holy wars and absolutely nothing else from them. metallica's best songs were either ballads or all closer to classic heavy metal than thrash too tbh. creeping death and orion and stuff like that lol. uh. hit the lights off their debut is actually pretty solid though, it has a manic energy that's kinda hard to hate
i got one revocation album and thought it was ok but not really for the thrash elements in particular
idk i don't like my metal fast and mindless like that, generally speaking  :lol

Good lord, Infest the Rats Nest isn't even really thrash as far as I'm concerned. It has a few thrashy parts but I feel sorry for all their fans who think they know what thrash is after listening to that album alone.

Interesting that that's the direction they took later on, sounds like quite a shift although I can sort of hear a hint of industrial approach in the song you sent. I'll be very intrigued to explore their stuff once the roulette is over.

Really glad you're getting something out of it too!

That discovery of older music I don't normally bother with is exactly why I'm doing this roulette, and it's been highly successful so far. That first round had an average rating of 7.93, which is really far off the 8.07 and 8.08 average scores in the first two rounds of my last roulette. You guys rock.

In principle, sure thing. Someone else asked a similar question and here's basically what I said:

As for collaborations, in principle those are fine. I mean, if for example you'd sent me a whole submission of one artist that was from a collaboration with another artist, and it scored 8/10 or higher so got banned, and then sent me more of that second artist later on, I might reject that. But the odd guest appearance is fine!

Dagnammit, we're up to 16 out of 18 submissions now and the average length is nearly 2:30 longer than in round 1, even though there was no correlation between submission length and rating (in fact the shorter submissions had a very marginally better average score). :P

You can always cut it back to 20 minutes or something mate.  That's indeed  hell of a lot of music with the amount of people participating.

I'll stick with it for now - it's currently working out at roughly the same amount of total music per round as my last roulette (slightly less in round 1) which had a 21 minute limit but more players. So it should be ok, and I prefer not to change the rules once people have started planning their entries unless I really have to.

Is this the second time I cock-blocked you, King? It’s not intentional, I promise!  ;D

I’m not as much of a fan of Broken Wings, probably because it’s been overplayed.  I agree that Dust is a great track.  Is It Love is my favorite.  I love the drum break in the middle.

I do miss those sessions, they were great! I'm sure I should've heard this artist then  :justjen

By the way, I have no idea why spotify calls that song Under the Oak (New Version), it sounds exactly the same as the original. I'd bet it's mislabeled on spotify.

Also someone else sent candlemass.....  :hefdaddy

Their Candlemass songs are At the Gallows End, Under the Oak, and Bewitched. Bewitched was on my short list as well, but ultimately decided on Gallows from that album. I wanted to get 1 song from each of the '80s albums.

I had a long list of songs I wanted to pick from. Solitude, Black Stone Wielder, The Well of Souls, Ancient Dreams, Through the Infinitive Halls of Death, A Tale of Creation, etc.

Also I'm an idiot. I sent the correct version of Under the Oak, which is in fact a re-recording with the new vocalist. So indeed the "New Version"  :facepalm:  :lol Ignore my last post about it.  :P

Post by: ariich on October 04, 2021, 11:20:08 AM
And how about some...

Round 2 first impressions

Like most submissions so far in this genre not every track is killer, but the good ones are great. [romdrums – Mr. Mister]
One track was a little bland, but the rest was really nice and that voice is just full of emotion. [Luke – Van Morrison]
Intricate and kind of dramatic - will take a few listens to get my head round it, but I liked it. [HOF – Premiata Forneria Marconi]
Sounds really good, and cool to hear how this relates to what came before it and after it. [Ruba – Candlemass]
One of the better submissions so far in this genre - very rich sonically and melodically. [Kwyjibo – Ultravox]
Struggling to think of anything else this sounds like… unexpected and quite excellent. [Nekov – Serú Girán]
Some of this felt a little tame, but I liked it when there was more energy or emotion. [jingle – Peter Gabriel]
Love the variety - some of it dragged a little but other parts were deliciously quirky. [Buddy – Frank Zappa]
I’ve not heard this artist before but this is exactly what I thought they’d sound like. [Cyril – Barry White]
Maybe not ariich-fodder, but this was pretty rocking and I like the guitar work. [wolfking – Thin Lizzy]
Some songs were more immediate than others, but it all sounded intriguing. [Sacul – Linda Perhacs]
Some of this was great, and the vocals helped with the less strong parts. [TAC – Pat Benetar]
The sort of thing I’d probably love live, but is still pretty good on record. [Elite – Mahavishnu Orchestra]
My enjoyment of each song depended on how much I liked the vocals. [lonestar – The Kinks]
I can see why this is popular, but I’m not sure I find it that exciting. [king – Simple Minds]
I rather like this - it’s upbeat but has an oddly emotional edge to it. [Stadler – The Cars]
Very similar to another submission, and comparable in quality. [Puppies – Candlemass]
More interesting than most of what I’ve heard from this artist. [Evermind – Jethro Tull]

I rather like this - it’s upbeat but has an oddly emotional edge to it.

First guess.

Round 2 first impressions

One track was a little bland, but the rest was really nice and that voice is just full of emotion.

I've got no clue this time so let's BINARY IT UP BABEY

Intricate and kind of dramatic - will take a few listens to get my head round it, but I liked it.
Sounds really good, and cool to hear how this relates to what came before it and after it.
One of the better submissions so far in this genre - very rich sonically and melodically.
Some of this felt a little tame, but I liked it when there was more energy or emotion.
I’ve not heard this artist before but this is exactly what I thought they’d sound like.
Some of this was great, and the vocals helped with the less strong parts.
The sort of thing I’d probably love live, but is still pretty good on record.
My enjoyment of each song depended on how much I liked the vocals.
More interesting than most of what I’ve heard from this artist.

Although, now that I think about it, Barry White better be the voice full of emotion.

Some of this was great, and the vocals helped with the less strong parts. [TAC – Pat Benetar]



I'll take this as positive, certainly.

I wonder about the less strong parts. I'm thinking In The Heat Of The Night. That would be the one song I really debated including. I figured it presented a bit of a change of pace. I think it's a cool and song that really sets the mood. There's a number of musical changes within it that I think are interesting, adding much more to it than a standard ballad style track.


Unless you thought Don't Let It Show was "less strong" but that is indeed an amazing vocal.

First impressions revealed!

Round 2 first impressions

Like most submissions so far in this genre not every track is killer, but the good ones are great. [romdrums – Mr. Mister]
One track was a little bland, but the rest was really nice and that voice is just full of emotion. [Luke – Van Morrison]
Intricate and kind of dramatic - will take a few listens to get my head round it, but I liked it. [HOF – Premiata Forneria Marconi]
Sounds really good, and cool to hear how this relates to what came before it and after it. [Ruba – Candlemass]
One of the better submissions so far in this genre - very rich sonically and melodically. [Kwyjibo – Ultravox]
Struggling to think of anything else this sounds like… unexpected and quite excellent. [Nekov – Serú Girán]
Some of this felt a little tame, but I liked it when there was more energy or emotion. [jingle – Peter Gabriel]
Love the variety - some of it dragged a little but other parts were deliciously quirky. [Buddy – Frank Zappa]
I’ve not heard this artist before but this is exactly what I thought they’d sound like. [Cyril – Barry White]
Maybe not ariich-fodder, but this was pretty rocking and I like the guitar work. [wolfking – Thin Lizzy]
Some songs were more immediate than others, but it all sounded intriguing. [Sacul – Linda Perhacs]
Some of this was great, and the vocals helped with the less strong parts. [TAC – Pat Benetar]
The sort of thing I’d probably love live, but is still pretty good on record. [Elite – Mahavishnu Orchestra]
My enjoyment of each song depended on how much I liked the vocals. [lonestar – The Kinks]
I can see why this is popular, but I’m not sure I find it that exciting. [king – Simple Minds]
I rather like this - it’s upbeat but has an oddly emotional edge to it. [Stadler – The Cars]
Very similar to another submission, and comparable in quality. [Puppies – Candlemass]
More interesting than most of what I’ve heard from this artist. [Evermind – Jethro Tull]


Should be able to post comparisons by this evening or tomorrow morning at the latest, and then on track for results on Friday.

Huh....that would've been the last one I'd have picked tbh...Ray Davies I always thought was pretty consistent as a vocalist, unlike the singer for our house band here lol. I'm guessing you're more referring to his diverse stylings in vocals. I'll find out soon enough I guess lol

The Cars always seemed to be dismissed as a light-weight band, radio-friendly, synth-rock.   But Ocasek's lyrics were always a step or two deeper than they seemed.   

I can't express how thrilled I am - regardless of the score I get - that you picked up on the emotional aspect of their music.   I don't listen to them much anymore, but they are one of my favorite bands and there are times when I just need a "Cars" fix.  It is the kind of music that brings me to another place and time (we used to have to drive to the next town for hockey practice in high school, and when I was a freshman and sophomore, this older kid would let me ride with him because I was one of the few that liked his music:  The Cars, Squeeze and Bob Seger.  Those were good times.)

Of course, I do love my graphs.

Although it's going to be more of a pain now. Last roulette I was 100% working from home so could do everything in Excel on my computer. Now I'm hybrid working, so back to using Google Sheets, which is fine in general but sucks at graphs and literally won't do what I want it to.

Title: Re: ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – R2 RESULTS
Post by: ariich on October 08, 2021, 09:11:57 AM
ROUND 2 RESULTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
king – Simple Minds
1. Alive and Kicking
2. Waterfront
3. Sanctify Yourself
4. Up on the Catwalk
5. Don’t You (Forget About Me)

First impression: I can see why this is popular, but I’m not sure I find it that exciting.

Final opinion: I see what you were going for with this. I’ve had a decent number of submissions so far that are broadly in a new wave, synthpop, art pop/rock sort of genre, and some of them are doing quite well (more so this round than last round). Stylistically speaking, this is all pretty good stuff - nice sound, good vibes. I just don’t find it very interesting. The ones I’m liking most have really strong melodic hooks, and/or something fairly unique and exciting in the sound and production. This isn’t especially strong with either. It would have probably scored lower had you not included their massive hit, Don’t You (Forget About Me), which of course I was familiar with and is very catchy and enjoyable.

Score: 7.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite – Mahavishnu Orchestra
1. Birds of Fire
2. Eternity's Breath, Pt. 1
3. Eternity's Breath, Pt. 2
4. One Word

First impression: The sort of thing I’d probably love live, but is still pretty good on record.

Final opinion: For my tastes, this is just a really inconsistent submission. I can be fairly picky with jazz fusion (and to some extent with jazz in general), which I guess you weren’t to know. The two Eternity’s Breath tracks are great - great playing, a really cool sound and nice use of vocals and strings to make it all sound quite grand and immersive. I also like how the tracks build and develop. Definitely looking forward to checking out the album they’re from. The other two tracks, I just can’t get into. One Word is decent, although I find it drags a little, but Birds of Fire I struggle with. I do think I’d really enjoy something like that live, but on record it just feels a bit messy to me, and there’s something about the production and guitar tone I find grating.

Score: 7.5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
lonestar – The Kinks
1. Around the Dial
2. A Rock’n’Roll Fantasy
3. Better Things
4. Celluloid Heroes (Live)
5. Days

First impression: My enjoyment of each song depended on how much I liked the vocals.

Final opinion: On further listens, I’m not sure if it’s the vocals themselves, or if it’s more about the production and writing. In general I like what I’m hearing, but there’s definitely a correlation between how much I like it overall, and how much I like the vocals. Rock’n’Roll Fantasy is a really great song, well written and produced and with really warm and emotional vocals. Days is more Beatles-esque but also a lot of fun and nicely done, and the live recording of Celluloid Heroes also has some great stuff in it. It’s the other two songs that bring the score down a little here - the songs themselves don’t really interest me, and the vocals come across as thin and occasionally out of tune which definitely hurts my enjoyment of them.

Score: 7.7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sacul – Linda Perhacs
1. Chimacum Rain
2. Paper Mountain Man
3. Call of the River
4. Parallelograms
5. Hey, Who Really Cares
6. Porcelain Baked-Over Cast-Iron Wedding

First impression: Some songs were more immediate than others, but it all sounded intriguing.

Final opinion: I like this quite a bit, although not as much as I wanted to. It’s odd that although some songs were more immediate than others, it wasn’t like I ended up loving some and disliking others. Actually I think there’s a consistency of mood and quality here, despite the different styles, that works in its favour and makes it all feel quite coherent. Every song does its own thing quite well, but none quite manages to make me love it. The bluesy approach of Paper Mountain Man was the one I responded to most immediately and I like the energy, but it never quite gets going. Similarly I like the mood of Call of the River, but the sound isn’t full enough to really immerse me in that mood.

Score: 7.8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyril – Barry White
1. I’ve Got So Much To Give
2. Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up

First impression: I’ve not heard this artist before but this is exactly what I thought they’d sound like.

Final opinion: Before this roulette, pretty much my entire knowledge of Barry White was people doing impressions of him. So it’s been nice to finally hear what he and his music actually sounded like. And yeah, it’s exactly what I expected. :lol Which isn’t a bad thing, and in a way I’ve getting into it more than I might have thought, given disco and smooth soul aren’t really genres I pay much attention to. It maybe goes a bit too far in being sexy-time music, although it’s entirely possible that’s a symptom of how his music is referred to (and copied) in the years since and therefore the connotations it prompts in my brain. Either way, it’s really enjoyable but not something I can see myself wanting to listen to often!

Score: 7.8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
jingle – Peter Gabriel
1. Solsbury Hill
2. In Your Eyes
3. Games Without Frontiers
4. Big Time
5. San Jacinto

First impression: Some of this felt a little tame, but I liked it when there was more energy or emotion.

Final opinion: This is another one of those half-great, half-meh submissions. Relatively meh anyway, nothing here is bad. Let’s start with the great. Solsbury Hill has a lovely English-folk vibe and emotion to it that’s rather lovely. Big Time is just a cracking pop rock song - great sound, energy and hooks. And the second half of San Jacinto is excellent too, really grand and surprisingly emotive. Just a shame it takes a while to get there - the first half doesn’t even really build up to it, just plods along until it suddenly kicks up a gear. The others I find much weaker - In Your Eyes doesn’t really have anything for me to latch onto, and Games Without Frontiers is such a cool idea but just feels so tame in its execution.

Score: 7.9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stadler – The Cars
1. Moving in Stereo
2. All Mixed Up
3. Let’s Go
4. It’s All I Can Do
5. Since You’re Gone
6. Drive

First impression: I rather like this - it’s upbeat but has an oddly emotional edge to it.

Final opinion: I feel like I could just copy and paste the discussion about The Cars from this thread that you initiated as my review. If anyone has dismissed them as light-weight and radio-friendly, then on the basis of these songs that seems to be both inaccurate and a meaningless reason to be dismissive. Most of the songs don’t blow me away maybe, but they’re really nice pop-rock with some strong tunes and, as I said in my first impression, an emotional edge that makes them more than just a bit of fun. This is really epitomised in Drive, which is the standout and just a really lovely song that, even though I’ve never heard it in the car, really does make me think of driving at night.

Score: 8.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOF – Premiata Forneria Marconi
1. Per uno amico
2. L’isola di niente
3. Grazie davvero

First impression: Intricate and kind of dramatic - will take a few listens to get my head round it, but I liked it.

Final opinion: Here we come to our first non-English submission of the roulette, and what an interesting one it is. As expected, the language didn’t present a barrier (it rarely does, unless it’s important to the enjoyment for narrative or comedic reasons). In the case of this Italian prog band, the focus is clearly on the intricate writing and skilled musicianship. It perhaps borders on the meandering in places, but not unusually so for 70s prog and not to the extent that it harms the music. There’s a ton of cool ideas in here, and while it’s not immediately accessible, I’ve found myself enjoying very much on every listen.

Score: 8.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC – Pat Benetar
1. Promises in the Dark
2. In the Heat of the Night
3. My Clone Sleeps Alone
4. Don’t Let It Show
5. Hell is For Children

First impression: Some of this was great, and the vocals helped with the less strong parts.

Final opinion: As you correctly identified, the less strong parts I was referring to were from In the Heat of the Night and Don’t Let it Show. To be clear though, I didn’t dislike either song, both have grown on me since, and I think their inclusion helped make this an interesting and varied submission as they showed different sides of Benetar’s music to the rest. The other three were all high-quality, poppy hard rock, and her voice really does bring everything together. It’s very passionate in an 80s sort of way (again something I might have been less keen on a few years ago), in some places almost reminding me of a female Meat Loaf, if not quite so cheesy.

Score: 8.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruba & Puppies – Candlemass

Ruba:
1. Under the Oak
2. At the Gallows End
3. Bewitched

First impression: Sounds really good, and cool to hear how this relates to what came before it and after it.

Puppies:
1. Crystal Ball
2. At the Gallows End
3. Mirror Mirror
4. Under the Oak (New Version)

First impression: Very similar to another submission, and comparable in quality.

Final opinion on both: There’s just too much similarity and direct overlap between these submissions to be able to review them separately. I didn’t even manage to score one higher than the other, both are equally great. The one identical song, At the Gallows End, is my favourite of the bunch. I have a slight preference for the later version of Under the Oak (as I prefer their second vocalist), but like Bewitched slightly more than the other two songs Puppies sent, so it all nets off. I really like the sound of these guys, and I found it really interesting to hear how their sound developed from earlier bands - the riffing of 80s thrash bands and the slow gloomy approach of early Black Sabbath (and I’m sure others) - and then contributed to developing doom metal as a genre of its own.

Score: Both 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evermind – Jethro Tull
1. Farm on the Freeway
2. She Said She Was a Dancer
3. Budapest

First impression: More interesting than most of what I’ve heard from this artist.

Final opinion: This is the second time someone has done well with Jethro Tull in my roulettes. In the last one, Stadler sent me their folkier acoustic stuff, and I liked it very much and ended up getting their acoustic compilation album. But I tried a couple more regular albums (having previously tried Aqualung) and still found them a little lacking. You’ve now given me hope that there might be a Tull album for me after all. All three songs have a richness of sound and melody that I’ve not got from them before, and which is much more up my alley. I’d especially highlight Farm on the Freeway - I really love how the fusion of traditional English folk stylings with modern (at the time) rock music creates a great parallel to the song’s theme of a farmer giving up his land for a new freeway. Although an English band using the word “freeway” is, of course, unforgivable.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
wolfking – Thin Lizzy
1. Thunder and Lightning
2. Cold Sweat
3. Chinatown
4. Emerald

First impression: Maybe not ariich-fodder, but this was pretty rocking and I like the guitar work.

Final opinion: I’ve always been aware that Thin Lizzy were a hard rock band, but perhaps because the songs I knew were on the poppier end (Boys Are Back in Town, Whisky in the Jar, Dancing in the Moonlight), I’d never really appreciated how much they actually rocked. These songs are all pretty great, in different ways. Thunder and Lightning is fast and energetic almost bordering on heavy metal, Cold Sweat has a great chorus, Chinatown has a cool groove to it, and Emerald has a grand feel. I guess I’ll need to give some of their albums a proper listen!

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buddy – Frank Zappa
1. Keep It Greasy (Live)
2. Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus
3. Willie The Pimp
4. Watermelon In Easter Hay

First impression: Love the variety - some of it dragged a little but other parts were deliciously quirky.

Final opinion: Alright so this is a pretty weird submission, starting with two songs under 3 minutes and then finishing with two songs over 9 minutes. But then the weirdness fits quite well with his music. :lol I was obviously very aware of Zappa but hadn’t ever listened to his stuff, and didn’t really know what to expect. And these four tracks are so different that I still don’t feel I know what to expect from anything else of his. They’re all great in different ways. The musically-rich quirkiness of Cletus is definitely a standout and one of my favourites of the round, but there’s great stuff in each track. The longer ones do drag a little, but they work ok for their style so it’s not really to the detriment of the overall experience.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
romdrums – Mr. Mister
1. Is It Love
2. Kyrie
3. Something Real (Inside Me/Inside You)
4. The Tube
5. Control

First impression: Like most submissions so far in this genre not every track is killer, but the good ones are great.

Final opinion: I think this has grown on me since my first impression. It’s another submission that’s broadly within the new wave/pop rock sort of area, and it’s definitely one of the better ones. The first two songs, in particular, I just really love. They are insanely catchy and well-produced. The other three didn’t grab me as much at first, and for sure they’re not quite so special, but on further listens I’ve found them to also be very good. They also have a slightly different edge to the first two, still fairly poppy but leaning a bit more into AOR territory.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke – Van Morrison
1. Sweet Thing
2. And It Stoned Me
3. Moondance
4. Caravan
5. Into the Mystic

First impression: One track was a little bland, but the rest was really nice and that voice is just full of emotion.

Final opinion: So yeah, the first song (the only one not from Moondance) isn’t all that interesting really. It’s pleasant, definitely, but just kind of there. But the Moondance songs are just a whole different thing, from the richness of the music, the emotion and depth in his voice and the variety of instrumentation. There’s a great diversity here, it’s all bluesy but that ranges from very folksy stuff through to pretty much all-out jazz (with jazz flute!), and the use of saxophones throughout gives it such an interesting vibe as well as helping keep the songs all sounding coherent.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kwyjibo – Ultravox
1. Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
2. All Stood Still
3. Vienna
4. Hymn

First impression: One of the better submissions so far in this genre - very rich sonically and melodically.

Final opinion: Another new wave ish submission, and this is the best one so far. The tunes are incredibly catchy and memorable and in general the music is just very immersive. All Stood Still is probably the one I’m least interested in, but I’m glad you included it as it shows a different (even quirky) side that’s quite fun. The other three do have their differences of course, but they all have these big anthemic choruses that I’m guessing is a fairly common feature of their music. Either way, there’s a really great vibe created from the blending of the song-writing, the production and the vocals which are pretty serious in tone (and which work surprisingly well).

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nekov – Serú Girán
1. La Grasa de las Capitales
2. Cara De Velocidad
3. Eiti-Leda
4. Seminare

First impression: Struggling to think of anything else this sounds like… unexpected and quite excellent.

Final opinion: This has just come completely out of nowhere. Never heard of them, and as you know I don’t even know any other Argentinian artists (other than Daniel Barenboim). The music is pretty proggy, and it does go all over the place in some ways, but it’s all just so wonderfully rich and dynamic. And there’s something about it, not sure if it’s just the writing or if it’s helped by the production, but like all good prog it can explore these different ideas without feeling disjointed or messy. And then on top of all that, there are a few really gorgeous moments where the vocal melodies and/or harmonies hit me in just the right place.

Score: 8.4

Fair assessment. Davies' greatest appeal as a frontman is in his live performances, he literally owns audiences. The two songs you didn't favor as much were actually ones I switched out multiple times, the three you likes were my immediate choices once I eliminated the Kinks' hit songs like You Really Got Me and Lola.


Round 3 sent yesterday.

Glad you liked it! I can get the criticism for the longer songs dragging a bit but honestly, if you don't like incredibly extended guitar solos, Zappa miiiight not be for you. :lol Though his stuff seems to be so varied that there really is something for everyone.

I've had my round 3 submission locked down for a while so I'll send shortly. Let's see if it's enough to nudge me up one spot again. :biggrin:
Title: Re: ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – R2 RESULTS
Post by: HOF on October 08, 2021, 09:19:58 AM

HOF – Premiata Forneria Marconi
1. Per uno amico
2. L’isola di niente
3. Grazie davvero

First impression: Intricate and kind of dramatic - will take a few listens to get my head round it, but I liked it.

Final opinion: Here we come to our first non-English submission of the roulette, and what an interesting one it is. As expected, the language didn’t present a barrier (it rarely does, unless it’s important to the enjoyment for narrative or comedic reasons). In the case of this Italian prog band, the focus is clearly on the intricate writing and skilled musicianship. It perhaps borders on the meandering in places, but not unusually so for 70s prog and not to the extent that it harms the music. There’s a ton of cool ideas in here, and while it’s not immediately accessible, I’ve found myself enjoying very much on every listen.

Score: 8.0



Glad you liked this! They really are just very creative with a range of instruments and styles. You really do kind of need to be paying attention while listening or you miss a bunch of stuff, but they really reward that deeper kind of listening.

Regarding the Peter Gabriel entry, I love San Jacinto, plodding and all. But I'm more surprised by the In Your Eyes comments. That's just a gorgeous recording, and a near perfect pop song. One of the all time great pop songs in my view. There's a Classic Albums episode on the making of So, and they talked about how they had to meticulously edit together that main loop by hand. So much going on production wise in an otherwise simple song.

Marginally better than my last submission, damn :lol . I'm quite glad you loved Serú Girán tho, lovely band, I should listen to more of their stuff tbh. Argentinian prog of that era had a pretty unique flavor imo - you should check out Pescado Rabioso's Artaud and Crucis' Crucis.

Also, sent!

"In Your Eyes" is one of the few songs that, for me, are truly overplayed and worn out (moreso because of the uses rather than the number of plays; it's very cliched in certain circles) but having said that, if you've never heard it you don't have that problem.  When it first came out it was a killer track (and it takes on new life live).

One of the several songs inspired by Rosanna Arquette.

I can see it being overplayed, but for me I've never gotten tired of it, and I've been listening to it since I was a kid. One of the first songs that drew me to PG and it still gets me every time.

The live version on Secret World is the standard for me.  Paula Cole's singing on it is magical.  Getting to see it live on the Growing Up Tour, with Sevara Nazarkhan singing on it, was equally good.  I think, like Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, it's been covered so many times that it loses its charm.  The Jeffrey Gaines version is particularly atrocious, and unfortunately, was a staple on restaurant muzak systems in the late 90's/early 2000's.

I got to see that tour as well, it's a shame that album was in 92 and unavailable for Jingle to use in the roulette. Secret World and Come Talk to Me are my two favorite PG tracks. The live version of the latter brings me to tears every frikkin time.

Which, on balance, probably didn't affect your score as the quality of the second half was netted off by the first half.

That said, I am still glad you sent it as the second half is great and very different to the other four tracks.

Glad you liked it. If you want to check out Ultravox further, their first four records in the 80s are all good, but all of them have some filler too. Their earlier albums sound different and not only because they had a different lead singer. Their music was more punk influenced. I could never really warm up to them.

I will try and send something over the weekend.

PS: In Your Eyes is awesome  ;) and as I said before, the live version totally slays the studio version.

There are so many obvious bands to send, at least for us fogeys, we could go another ten rounds.  :D

PS: In Your Eyes is awesome  ;) and as I said before, the live version totally slays the studio version.

See, a lot of people are saying this, but for me it's such a great studio track that it loses a lot in a live setting. I do like the Secret World Live performance, but it's not the same for me.

I have a lot of good memories surrounding the Secret World live video and record, that have not necessarily anything to do with the music. Maybe it's a large part of nostalgia on my end why I prefer the version.

That is a fantastic "live" album for sure. One of my favorites.

Is it a band you'd expect Sacul to send? If so we may be thinking of the same band. They're on my shortlist  :corn

8.1 isn't too bad! I think there is one (maybe two) generic rock songs on that album, but otherwise I like it a lot, give it a try. I sent what I think to be the best three songs from it though, so don't get your expectations too high. :)

Sent, but I expect at least one of the songs to be rejected as I can't believe Rich hasn't heard it before.

That's not true, you're closer to the median/mid-point than you were, and there are far more people within close catching distance than there were. You only dropped a place in the ranking because you were joint-last in round 1, but a strong round 3 could see you jump a number of places.


Sent, but I expect at least one of the songs to be rejected as I can't believe Rich hasn't heard it before.
I'm not rejecting any "hits" that it turns out I know. I stand by my banned lists.

Title: Re: ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – R2 RESULTS
Post by: Elite on October 10, 2021, 01:39:24 AM
Elite – Mahavishnu Orchestra
1. Birds of Fire
2. Eternity's Breath, Pt. 1
3. Eternity's Breath, Pt. 2
4. One Word

First impression: The sort of thing I’d probably love live, but is still pretty good on record.

Final opinion: For my tastes, this is just a really inconsistent submission. I can be fairly picky with jazz fusion (and to some extent with jazz in general), which I guess you weren’t to know. The two Eternity’s Breath tracks are great - great playing, a really cool sound and nice use of vocals and strings to make it all sound quite grand and immersive. I also like how the tracks build and develop. Definitely looking forward to checking out the album they’re from. The other two tracks, I just can’t get into. One Word is decent, although I find it drags a little, but Birds of Fire I struggle with. I do think I’d really enjoy something like that live, but on record it just feels a bit messy to me, and there’s something about the production and guitar tone I find grating.

Oh, I had hoped the different songs fro different albums would complement each other, since they are rather different :lol looking back to your first impressions, that does make sens now. 'Birds of Fire' (the album) is not the easiest listen I reckon. It's chaotic and fast and it doesn't sound too good indeed production-wise, yet it's still a jazz-fusion classic. Well, I didn't do too bad, even though competition makes it look like I did. For next round, you're getting a bit more laid-back stuff and focused energy, rather than the chaos in the bookend tracks here :)

I really spent far too long deliberating over which songs to send by Trouble, only to bail and send something else as I couldn't decide! Glad I didn't waste anymore time now, knowing I'd already been cockblocked.

One thing I do know though, is that I was definitely going to send Pray for the Dead, and The Tempter/The Skull were on my shortlist.

I sent Wild Swan but Rich couldn't access it through Spotify.  I would have held things up by the time I would have sent him the file so went a different approach with Before First Light.

In retrospect I probably should have gotten that song to him, I regret now not including it.

No argument from me, but I personally don't get all the love for Mother, Father.  It's good, I'm just not gaga over it.  Ultimately, you could take any 4-5 songs from Escape, Infinity, Frontiers, or Evolution and call it a day.

Not to say they aren't awesome they way they are, I would have submitted

Journey: "Who's Crying Now" for "Edge Of The Blade"
Boston: "Don't Look Back" for "Rock And Roll Band"
Phil Collins: "We Said Hello, Goodbye" or "Don't Let Him Steal Your Heart Away" for "Easy Lover"

Elton is just perfect the way it is. 

Scorpions is good too; love the "Yellow Raven" inclusion; I would have put "In Trance" or "We'll Burn The Sky" for "When The Smoke Is Going Down".


FYI, I don't mean to be critical; these are all formidable submissions.  Just talking my personal preference.

Yeah... that Boston submission is da bomb.  I was going to do 3/4 of those - replacing More Than A Feeling with Let Me Take You Home Tonight.  And yeah, I know the former is their flagship song, but I wanted to go with at least one 'not obvious' choice.  Same with Elton John, though I'm not sure I could play him and NOT use Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting

Not to say they aren't awesome they way they are, I would have submitted

Journey: "Who's Crying Now" for "Edge Of The Blade"
Boston: "Don't Look Back" for "Rock And Roll Band"
Phil Collins: "We Said Hello, Goodbye" or "Don't Let Him Steal Your Heart Away" for "Easy Lover"

Elton is just perfect the way it is. 

Scorpions is good too; love the "Yellow Raven" inclusion; I would have put "In Trance" or "We'll Burn The Sky" for "When The Smoke Is Going Down".


FYI, I don't mean to be critical; these are all formidable submissions.  Just talking my personal preference.

Like jingle said you could send almost any Journey song but I would have added Faithfully. Yeah it's cheesy and sappy but it's also one of the best rock ballads ever written. And Perry is just jaw-dropping on it.

Outing myself, but I intentionally didn't include any of the hits. Of course, Who's Crying Now and Faithfully are both tremendous.

A) I hear ya on not wanting to submit songs from just one album, but c'mon... it's Boston/Boston - the greatest debut in rock history (regardless of the fact Appetite outsold it).
B) I used to detest Easy Lover, but then something really clicked with that riff that plays underneath Bailey's vocals.

Boston: "Don't Look Back" for "Rock And Roll Band"

My understanding is that the sender swapped these at the last minute. He's a huge fan of Don't Look Back, but felt the EP needed a bit of contrast as he thought More Than A Feeling-Don't Look Back-Peace Of Mind back to back to back felt a bit too similar.

Indeed.  Plus, RnR Band > DLB.

I mean, why not just send the opening 4 tracks of one of the greatest albums of all time?  Seems like a fine plan to me.  Strange that the sender though the order needed to be re-arranged, but whatevs.

Enjoyably bonkers. [Luke – Focus]
Wow, this was quite a journey! [Sacul – Mike Oldfield]
Lovely sound and great playing. [Nekov – Pat Metheny]
Mysterious and eerie and pretty cool. [Buddy – Comus]
More serious and heartfelt than I expected. [HOF – Journey]
Very nice - chilled but with a fair bit going on. [Elite – Wes Montgomery]
This was great - varied, catchy and surprisingly rocking. [Cyril – Elton John]
Wasn’t convinced at first, but this got better with each track. [TAC – Boston]
One possible dud, but otherwise a bunch of good, catchy songs. [jingle – Phil Collins]
Didn’t sound very distinctive, and yet some of the songs were really nice. [Stadler – Billy Squier]
A good illustration of not needing to do anything fancy to write solid rock songs. [wolfking – Magnum]
I can see what you were going for, but it sounded a bit middle of the road for me. [Kwyjibo – Nik Kershaw]
Bold choice to go for a style that I’m not sure has ever scored well in my roulettes. [Evermind – Scorpions]
Talented playing and a distinct sound - this is more like it as far as this genre goes. [romdrums – Jean-Luc Ponty]
There’s something about this that reminds me of what I liked in your first submission. [king – Chicago]
Not the strongest vocally, but the delivery is convincing and the music is mostly great. [lonestar – Pete Townshend]
The general sound and style was cool and dark, but not sure the music matched up to it. [Ruba – Trouble]
Hmm, well, there’s plenty to like but mainly I’m just glad that vocals in this genre have since improved. [Puppies – Dinosaur Jr.]

Didn’t sound very distinctive, and yet some of the songs were really nice.
I can see what you were going for, but it sounded a bit middle of the road for me.
Not the strongest vocally, but the delivery is convincing and the music is mostly great.


Okay, how about this then?

Round 3 first impressions

Mysterious and eerie and pretty cool.
Very nice - chilled but with a fair bit going on.
Wasn’t convinced at first, but this got better with each track.

One possible dud, but otherwise a bunch of good, catchy songs.
Didn’t sound very distinctive, and yet some of the songs were really nice.

A good illustration of not needing to do anything fancy to write solid rock songs.
Bold choice to go for a style that I’m not sure has ever scored well in my roulettes.
There’s something about this that reminds me of what I liked in your first submission.

Not the strongest vocally, but the delivery is convincing and the music is mostly great.
The general sound and style was cool and dark, but not sure the music matched up to it.

I'll attempt to narrow Phil down to these three.

Rock & Roll Band was a late switch, and I labored over it and I decided to take Don't Look Back off. I just felt that DLB was to close in style and sound to More Than A Feeling and Peace Of Mind.

Hopefully the track grows on you and blends a bit better.

Ima gonna kick myself if Easy Lover is the dud - and it probably is since two songs are very similar in being a drum-dominated sound; and two others are similar with a brass-heavy sound.

But, I'll take it.  It was better than some of the alternatives.  I'll admit, last night I was banking on getting the impression that Kwyji got.

I'm not that surprised to be honest. Based on my somewhat limited to band's I sent past two rounds, Trouble has higher highs but Candlemass is more consistent. Hopefully the score won't go down that much.

Title: Re: ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – R3 RESULTS
Post by: ariich on October 14, 2021, 11:34:22 PM
ROUND 3 RESULTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruba – Trouble
1. Pray for the Dead
2. Bastards Will Pay
3. The Tempter
4. The Skull

First impression: The general sound and style was cool and dark, but not sure the music matched up to it.

Final opinion: I understand why you gave this a go, after early doom metal did pretty well in the last round. But I'm afraid it was a bit of a misstep. Not that it's bad, or even mediocre - it's pretty good and still gets over the 7/10 line. It’s just… not that great. In a way, it reminds me of the Slayer submission from round 1. The riffing and the general sound are cool, and enough to make it enjoyable overall. I just don't find it melodically interesting, and the vocals don't do it any favours.

Score: 7.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kwyjibo – Nik Kershaw
1. Dancing Girls
2. I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
3. Human Racing
4. You Might
5. Easy

First impression: I can see what you were going for, but it sounded a bit middle of the road for me.

Final opinion: After such domination in the first two rounds, I can only assume that this misstep was because you felt bad for everyone else and wanted to give them more of a chance. Don’t get me wrong, it has its moments - in particular, I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me is a really good pop song, with catchy hooks and fun little guitar flourishes. And the rest is all perfectly pleasant, I just find it a little… uninspiring maybe? The vocal lines in most of the songs are ok but don’t really draw me in, and Kershaw’s voice does little to make them any more exciting.

Score: 7.5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Puppies – Dinosaur Jr.
1. Forget the Swan
2. Little Fury Things
3. Sludgefest
4. In a Jar
5. Freak Scene
6. Pond Song

First impression: Hmm, well, there’s plenty to like but mainly I’m just glad that vocals in this genre have since improved.

Final opinion: To be honest, at first I thought this might come last in the round, but I have to say it’s grown on me a fair bit. Or perhaps it’s more accurate to say it’s been up and down. My first and third listens were pretty meh, but on my second and fourth I found myself getting into it quite a lot more, possibly a reflection of how I was feeling at the time. To issue a rating, I’ve gone with the upper end - music can be good for certain moods and not others, and that’s ok. On the good listens, I’ve been digging the general vibe and it’s an interesting and enjoyable insight to the origins of styles that later became very commonplace. The vocals are definitely a bit of a barrier though, I’ve never been a fan of that slightly out-of-tune style and I’m quite glad that a lot of indie/noise rock/etc seems to have recently moved away from it.

Score: 7.7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stadler – Billy Squier
1. Lonely is the Night
2. Don’t Say You Love Me
3. Eye on You
4. Too Daze Gone
5. In Your Eyes

First impression: Didn’t sound very distinctive, and yet some of the songs were really nice.

Final opinion: This is an odd submission. I don't really have anything negative to say, but nor do I have very much positive to say. It's solid enough hard rock - well performed, a good sound and some nice ideas. Lonely is the Night, in particular, is great and definitely bolstered the score - strong melodies and emotional without going overboard. The rest are all fine, enjoyable enough, they just don’t really have anything to make them really stand out.

Score: 7.8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
king – Chicago
1. Introduction
2. Make Me Smile
3. So Much to Say, So Much to Give
4. Anxiety’s Moment
5. West Virginia Fantasies
6. Colour My World
7. To Be Free
8. Now More Than Ever
9. 25 or 6 to 4

First impression: There’s something about this that reminds me of what I liked in your first submission.

Final opinion: So I didn't end up loving this as much as I thought I might at first, but I still like it a lot. While the style is different, it has a sort of similar warm-but-whimsical vibe that the Supertramp you sent me in round 1 had, including a nice use of horns. Some of the vocal moments don't really do much for me (for example Colour My World), but others are really good fun (such as Now More Than Ever), and instrumentally the whole thing has lots of charm and energy. All in all it makes for a very enjoyable listen, if perhaps not a mindblowing one.

Score: 8.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
romdrums – Jean-Luc Ponty
1. Infinite Pursuit
2. Sunset Drive
3. Final Truth, Pt. 1
4. Final Truth, Pt. 2

First impression: Talented playing and a distinct sound - this is more like it as far as this genre goes.

Final opinion: Having not been too kind to jazz fusion in the last round, this is much more my cup of tea. It's intricate and rich in terms of harmony, structure and instrumentation, but it's also quite accessible and has a very pleasant sound to it all. The violin taking the lead also gives it a really interesting and fairly unique vibe, I've heard one or two things vaguely similar before, but nothing quite like it. All of this adds up to something very enjoyable.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke – Focus
1. Hocus Pocus
2. Answer? Questions! - Questions? Answer!

First impression: Enjoyably bonkers.

Final opinion: A common view in this thread seems to have been that I must surely already know Hocus Pocus. It’s possible I’ve heard it before, but I honestly didn’t recognise it at all. It is bloody good though. Delightfully mad, full of great and highly entertaining ideas (apparently yodelling in prog works just fine), and yet with a strong sense of melody that keeps it all together. Answer? Questions! - Questions? Answer!, for all that it has a very silly title, is a little more straightforward. It’s still very good, but perhaps leans a bit much into the more indulgent side of 70s prog. I still enjoy it just fine, but I found myself losing interest somewhat on later listens.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
jingle – Phil Collins
1. I Don’t Care Anymore
2. Behind the Lines
3. Easy Lover
4. Don’t Lose My Number
5. Take Me Home

First impression: One possible dud, but otherwise a bunch of good, catchy songs.

Final opinion: Interestingly enough, the possible dud ended up not being a dud after all. It was actually Take Me Home, which I guess on first listen sounded a little cheesy and weak coming after songs with so much energy. No doubt, I prefer the first three to the last two. Of the Genesis singers, I know many prefer Gabriel and Collins has a more poppy approach, but I definitely prefer his voice and style. The first three songs here are all quite different, but they're tightly written, have some great tunes and he sings with a lot of character. The hooks aren't nearly as strong in the last two songs, but they're still a nice listen.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite – Wes Montgomery
1. West Coast Blues
2. Caravan
3. Sunny
4. Eleanor Rigby
5. Four on Six

First impression: Very nice - chilled but with a fair bit going on.

Final opinion: This is more like it! It’s not one of the jazz styles that I tend to gravitate towards (which are generally on the more energetic side of things, like big band jazz and some more modern fusion stuff), but for this more laid back style, it’s really good. The playing is slick and there’s plenty of activity in the music, but this relaxed vibe throughout as well. It’s not quite the same, but he sort of reminds me of a guitar equivalent of Oscar Peterson, who similarly wrote cool, tasteful music but had that ability to throw in some deceptively fast licks without it feeling that way.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC – Boston
1. Rock & Roll Band
2. More Than a Feeling
3. Peace of Mind
4. Foreplay / Long Time

First impression: Wasn’t convinced at first, but this got better with each track.

Final opinion: I was already fairly familiar with More Than a Feeling, although I'd never connected it with Boston. I've liked it when I've heard it, but not really thought more of it. This selection of songs you've sent me, though, is top notch. You'd have scored a little higher if you'd left Rock & Roll Band off - nothing wrong with it, just not that interesting and another good example of a tighter submission being better (not that I expect the fogeys to learn from this!). But the rest are excellent, good song writing, great and memorable tunes, and strong performances all round. Also helped by the singer, who has a lot of energy and charisma but steers clear of the cheesier excesses of some 80s vocalists.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evermind – Scorpions
1. Yellow Raven
2. When the Smoke is Going Down
3. Still Loving You

First impression: Bold choice to go for a style that I’m not sure has ever scored well in my roulettes.

Final opinion: I was a little cheeky and misleading with my first impression, but the style I was referring to was power ballads by 80s rock bands. Chad had a bad experience trying that in a tie-breaker in my first album roulette, and I think people have generally steered clear of it since. But congratulations on bucking the trend! Turns out I didn’t know Still Loving You after all, but it’s a great song and I can see why it’s popular. On the flipside, turns out I did know Yellow Raven, or at least Pain of Salvation’s cover of it. It’s odd to me that people in this thread questioned its inclusion (not sure what it means for me checking Scorpions out more generally later on) as it’s my favourite here - a very emotive and interesting song. When the Smoke... isn’t quite as good as the others (the guitar solo in particular is… kind of weird) but it’s still nice enough.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
wolfking – Magnum
1. Sacred Hour
2. On A Storyteller's Night
3. Vigilante
4. Before First Light

First impression: A good illustration of not needing to do anything fancy to write solid rock songs.

Final opinion: As you know, I’ve heard a few of Magnum’s later albums but not checked out any of their earlier work. These songs are up there with the better ones I’ve heard from them, and make me think I clearly need to revisit them. They’re fairly straightforward - not especially proggy (although I guess the general sound sort of is) and with no particular virtuosic elements, except perhaps the singer - but they’re thoughtfully and interestingly written and have some great hooks. The way they use synthesisers is also really nice, and helps give them their own flavour.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nekov – Pat Metheny
1. Ozark
2. Yolanda, You Learn
3. The First Circle
4. Eighteen

First impression: Lovely sound and great playing.

Final opinion: In general, this is really lovely stuff, and another example of good quality jazz fusion (of sorts). The overall sound is just great, very immersive and rich, and the performances are all excellent - not overly flashy but very skilled and tasteful. The thing that really elevates this particular submission (over, for example, the Jean-Luc Ponty) is The First Circle, which is one of the very best tracks of the roulette so far. It takes a much more emotive approach and there’s something about the way all the different elements come together that’s just gorgeous and incredibly satisfying.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
lonestar – Pete Townshend
1. Rough Boys
2. I Am an Animal
3. Empty Glass
4. Let My Love Open the Door
5. Slit Skirts

First impression: Not the strongest vocally, but the delivery is convincing and the music is mostly great.

Final opinion: Alright, so let me explain my first impression. Firstly, to be clear, when I said “the delivery is convincing”, I was referring mostly to the vocals. He strikes me as the kind of singer who is not especially skilled in a technical sense, but who makes up for it with his conviction and passion, and by writing music that suits it. I feel that way about Roger Waters (among others) and it works for Townshend too. These songs are great, and even the ones that didn’t grab me at first have grown on me a lot since, especially the last two. But I Am an Animal and Empty Glass are the real standouts here. They’re initially deceptive, sounding fairly straightforward, but then really hitting you right in the feels with gorgeous music and such emotional delivery.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buddy – Comus
1. The Herald
2. Song to Comus

First impression: Mysterious and eerie and pretty cool.

Final opinion: This was a real grower. Obviously I liked it from the start, as the first impression was positive, but it went from pretty cool to bloody good. The whole vibe is just really intriguing - on the surface a lot of it sounds ostensibly quite upbeat, but there’s an eerie undercurrent that’s just slightly unsettling, which only rears its head into actual weirdness in the odd moment but which makes the whole thing feel kind of creepy. But that balances nicely with the fact that, because it’s quite upbeat on the surface, there are plenty of quite enjoyable and melodic moments as well. I can see why Mikael Åkerfeldt quotes them as an influence on the folkier side of Opeth’s music, even though the two aren’t really anything alike.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOF – Journey
1. Still They Ride
2. Edge of the Blade
3. Only the Young
4. Mother, Father

First impression: More serious and heartfelt than I expected.

Final opinion: Like many plebs, pretty much the only thing I knew about Journey before this roulette was Don't Stop Believin' (the other thing I knew was that Steve Smith is also an accomplished jazz drummer). So I was prepared for a cheesefest, but that wasn't what I got at all. For sure the general style was aligned to my expectations, but I wasn't aware of how sincere and thoughtful their songwriting is, at least based on these songs. All four of these are great in different ways - Still They Ride is delicate and kind of romantic really, Edge of the Blade rocks, Only the Young is poppy and catchy, and Mother, Father has a wonderfully restrained intensity to it that provides a gorgeous contrast to the grand choruses.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyril – Elton John
1. Crocodile Rock
2. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
3. Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going To Be A Long, Long Time)
4. Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding

First impression: This was great - varied, catchy and surprisingly rocking.

Final opinion: I feel a little silly for having never really paid much to Elton John’s music. Rocket Man is the only one here where I’m particularly familiar with the original, as it’s been in so many movies and TV shows. But it’s been nice to give the whole song a proper listen - it’s rather lovely really, quite tender. At the other end of things, Crocodile Rock is the only one I wasn’t familiar with at all. It’s the weakest here, but it’s still good fun and has some very catchy themes within it. The other two I was aware of through cover versions - I love The Dear Hunter’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and obviously DT’s ACOS cover of Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding is pretty great too. These are the real standouts here, absolutely cracking songs. Other than the slightly older production (obviously) and not having Casey Crescenzo’s powerful voice, these originals are just as punchy and exciting as the covers.

Score: 8.4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sacul – Mike Oldfield
1. Ommadawn Pt. 1

First impression: Wow, this was quite a journey!

Final opinion: Damn, this is fantastic and the best submission of the roulette so far. I'm vaguely familiar with Tubular Bells from school music class many years ago, but I never bothered to check Oldfield out properly. This is just so rich and intricate. Long instrumental works like this can drag sometimes, but not this one. It doesn't jump around too much - the piece has a very natural flow to it - but it's varied and definitely goes on a journey. Similarly, I've heard other works (dare I say, including some of your past submissions) that have also been well-developed and well-produced, but seem to neglected melody. The great thing is that it has that too, and there are so many wonderfully lush melodies and harmonies throughout. Perhaps more than any other submission, this also benefits from the currently-available version being a more recent mix - makes me wonder if I should give other 70s and 80s albums I’d written off another chance.

Score: 8.7

Now you've had a chance to listen to it I need to share this live performance from '73.

This is without a doubt one of the most batshit incredible live performances ever. They had a slot to play Hocus Pocus on some talk show, but were only given a 4 minute slot. So what did they do? They sped it up to fit the time slot! It's just so good. The comments section here is also gold. I'm sure some of you will have already seen this but everyone needs to watch this! There's a reason it has like 12 million views.

I often show this to people when I talk about music that's out there and 'alternative'. It blows people's minds  :lol

I wasn't sure you were going to dig that style of jazz but I sure am glad that you did. I agree that First Circle is a fantastic song where everything comes together in a rather special way.

Sending round 4 as soon as I finish typing this.

I know what to send next two rounds and have at least one plan B if somebody poaches the band I have slotted for round five, 90s is more of my forte.

Now you've had a chance to listen to it I need to share this live performance from '73.

https://youtu.be/g4ouPGGLI6Q (https://youtu.be/g4ouPGGLI6Q)

This is without a doubt one of the most batshit incredible live performances ever. They had a slot to play Hocus Pocus on some talk show, but were only given a 4 minute slot. So what did they do? They sped it up to fit the time slot! It's just so good. The comments section here is also gold. I'm sure some of you will have already seen this but everyone needs to watch this! There's a reason it has like 12 million views.

I often show this to people when I talk about music that's out there and 'alternative'. It blows people's minds  :lol

That performance is great, sort of early progressive/avant-garde metal. :lol

Evermind – Scorpions
1. Yellow Raven
2. When the Smoke is Going Down
3. Still Loving You

First impression: Bold choice to go for a style that I’m not sure has ever scored well in my roulettes.

Final opinion: I was a little cheeky and misleading with my first impression, but the style I was referring to was power ballads by 80s rock bands. Chad had a bad experience trying that in a tie-breaker in my first album roulette, and I think people have generally steered clear of it since. But congratulations on bucking the trend! Turns out I didn’t know Still Loving You after all, but it’s a great song and I can see why it’s popular. On the flipside, turns out I did know Yellow Raven, or at least Pain of Salvation’s cover of it. It’s odd to me that people in this thread questioned its inclusion (not sure what it means for me checking Scorpions out more generally later on) as it’s my favourite here - a very emotive and interesting song. When the Smoke... isn’t quite as good as the others (the guitar solo in particular is… kind of weird) but it’s still nice enough.

I'm guessing here, but the Scorpions are really broken into two (maybe three) phases of their career.  There is the first, from Lonesome Crow through Tokyo Tapes, which I would call "The Roth Years", characterized by the presence of Uli Jon Roth as lead guitarist (not on Lonesome Crow; that's Michael Schenker).   It was a very "European" sound, Roth was HEAVILY influenced by Jimi Hendrix (even dating Hendrix' ex-girlfriend for a while), no real hits or power ballads, no great presence in the United States, and the songs were sort of divided between "Schenker/Meine" songs and "Roth" songs, many of the latter sung by Roth (he blows as a singer).   Most people don't know this era; "Yellow Raven" comes from the Virgin Killer album. 

The second era is from Lovedrive either through the present or maybe through the present, depending on your take.   This is where Matthias Jabs took over on lead guitar and they started to play a more bright, commercial rock sound. "When The Smoke Is Going Down" is the last song on Blackout, and "Still Loving You" is the last song on Love At First Sting, probably the two most well-known Scorpions albums (the latter is their biggest seller).

HOF – Journey
1. Still They Ride
2. Edge of the Blade
3. Only the Young
4. Mother, Father

First impression: More serious and heartfelt than I expected.

Final opinion: Like many plebs, pretty much the only thing I knew about Journey before this roulette was Don't Stop Believin' (the other thing I knew was that Steve Smith is also an accomplished jazz drummer). So I was prepared for a cheesefest, but that wasn't what I got at all. For sure the general style was aligned to my expectations, but I wasn't aware of how sincere and thoughtful their songwriting is, at least based on these songs. All four of these are great in different ways - Still They Ride is delicate and kind of romantic really, Edge of the Blade rocks, Only the Young is poppy and catchy, and Mother, Father has a wonderfully restrained intensity to it that provides a gorgeous contrast to the grand choruses.

Score: 8.3

Very cool! Definitely wanted to send deep cuts to avoid any negative impressions of the hits. Some of them are a bit cheesy, and it’s definitely something you kind of have to chuckle at and look past with Journey, but some of them are more just earnest (I think Don’t Stop Believing isn’t really cheesy, it just has a reputation).

At any rate, the guys can play and Perry can sing, and they wrote some killer songs as well. Both Escape and Frontiers are really great albums, even if they both have some cheese on them. The earlier Perry albums are a bit less serious in tone (although the pre-Perry albums are straight heavy rock/fusion/Prog). And then none of the later albums without Perry do much on anything for me, but the 1996 comeback album Trial by Fire has a lot of really good stuff and I think you’d probably like that one too.

And to think I had playlists ready to send to you for both Journey and Elton John and decided to go obscure instead.... :facepalm:
I love having you in my roulettes, because I never know what you're going to send, and you include some really interesting surprises and curveballs. The downside for you as a competitor is that not all of it sticks, and one or two duds can take you out of the running, but you taking those risks is very much appreciated.


Is 48 hours from now too late to submit?
Nope not too late at all, that's perfect (but obviously if people have submissions ready sooner, do send them so I can start listening!).


Hurray! A good score! Shame everybody else got a good score as well :lol

Sacul – Mike Oldfield
1. Ommadawn Pt. 1

First impression: Wow, this was quite a journey!

Final opinion: Damn, this is fantastic and the best submission of the roulette so far. I'm vaguely familiar with Tubular Bells from school music class many years ago, but I never bothered to check Oldfield out properly. This is just so rich and intricate. Long instrumental works like this can drag sometimes, but not this one. It doesn't jump around too much - the piece has a very natural flow to it - but it's varied and definitely goes on a journey. Similarly, I've heard other works (dare I say, including some of your past submissions) that have also been well-developed and well-produced, but seem to neglected melody. The great thing is that it has that too, and there are so many wonderfully lush melodies and harmonies throughout. Perhaps more than any other submission, this also benefits from the currently-available version being a more recent mix - makes me wonder if I should give other 70s and 80s albums I’d written off another chance.

Score: 8.7
Fuck yeah :2metal: :2metal: :2metal:

Mike Oldfield's music is so beautiful and full of life yet so intricate. I highly recommend revisiting Tubular Bells, and giving Incantations a chance. He also made a sequel to Ommadawn a few years ago called Return to Ommadawn, which is just gorgeous.

Final opinion: After such domination in the first two rounds, I can only assume that this misstep was because you felt bad for everyone else and wanted to give them more of a chance.

Okay, you got me here  :D

No, it's okay, can't win every time. Nik Kershaw is one of my favorite 80s pop artist, but I can understand that he's not for everyone.

Will send something else soon, hopefully.

I’ll guarantee this wasn’t a fogey!  No fogey would send exclusively Van Hagar. It’s a good playlist, but not the best representation of Van Halen (IMO)

I didn’t check, but I thought maybe the Roth albums were banned. Of course I would have sent all Hagar (or Cherone!). Don’t know if I’m a fogey or not though!

I was thinking of sending something from the 90s and thought of him, so why not? I don't expect to score nearly as close as I did with Ommadawn anymore so I might as well just send random stuff :P

Sorry chaps, had a disrupted afternoon as needed to collect my boy from nursery and spend the afternoon with him as he was under the weather (nothing bad, just could stay there for the rest of the day).

He's in bed now, so just catching up on a few things and will get the hangman updated shortly.

No rush, Rich. The Nursery? How old is he?
He's three. It's his pre-school year (and we call it pre-school with him) but to other grown ups I generally just call it nursery still, which in the UK at least refers to basically everything before school starts age 4.

Yeah absolutely. He's a bit... strong-willed sometimes. :lol So we get tantrums from time to time, but for the most part he's an awesome little dude and just has so much joy and enthusiasm for life.

Here's a hot take. Van Hagar is the only Van Halen worth listening to. And only 5150 (the album), plus a few select songs from OU812 and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.

Also I find it amusing that people keep guessing Nick for my submissions. Further proof that we are definitely the same person  :corn ;) :biggrin:

Also, Nekov sent me Bowie's Dead Man Walking in my roulette way back when. It's a banger for sure.

Interesting choices too for NIN.  I would have done something completely different.

Nekov's Bowie choices would have been mine as well if I had sent Bowie.  Probably would have gone with I'm Afraid of Americans instead of Little Wonder, mostly to try and fit The Heart's Filthy Lesson in there as well.  Outside and Earthling are my favorite Bowie records by a good distance.

I'm a full-on Blackmore fanboy, so consider that, but I'm with you 100%.  I've seen them three times now live, and I'm sorry, but you can do a LOT worse than watching Ritchie Blackmore play guitar for 2 hours while a smokin' hot blond dances in front of him (Candace is flat out GORGEOUS in person, and she's a way better singer live than you'd think).   Plus, his band is pretty good; the drummer is the guy that drummed for the Rainbow Romero Reboot a couple years ago (he's also from Hartford, CT, in case anyone cares). 

For all his "miserableness", I sat front row center for the last show and at the end I got to shake hands with my hero and he actually thanked ME for coming to the show!  Granted, the dude next to me had a jester's hat on and clown shoes (I'm not kidding) but still.

(I say "me", but you know how that goes; there were four or five of us standing there.)

Post by: ariich on October 19, 2021, 01:11:37 PM
Round 4 first impressions

You are remarkably consistent. [Evermind – Blackmore's Night]
More intense than I was expecting. [Nekov – David Bowie]
Nothing out of the ordinary, but quite enjoyable. [HOF – XTC]
Slightly dated production but there’s some great stuff in here. [Ruba – Psychotic Waltz]
Didn’t wow me, but there was one particular aspect I liked a lot. [king – The Beach Boys]
Loved the groove, but (one song aside) where were the melodies? [jingle – Prince]
Nice variety of styles - some I loved, others I’m not sure about yet. [Elite – David Bowie]
I’m sure I’ve heard this before, but hadn’t appreciated how good it is. [Cyril – 10cc]
Dark, atmospheric - not sure I took it all in on first listen but I liked it. [Puppies – In the Woods]
Quite enjoyable, but I’m not sure it goes far enough in doing what it does. [lonestar – Berlin]
A nice and varied listen - reminded me of one of your previous submissions. [Stadler – Squeeze]
Fantastic vocals, I just wonder if I might end up finding the music too tame. [TAC – Heart]
Opening up the 90s seems to have led us closer to your usual comfort zone. [Sacul – Gustavo Cerati]
This was pretty much comparable to what I’ve previously heard from this artist. [romdrums – Genesis]
This was a moderate improvement on what I’ve previously heard from this artist. [Kwyjibo – Van Halen]
This was an enormous improvement on what I’ve previously heard from this artist. [Buddy – Nine Inch Nails]
The vocals aren’t the most consistent, but the music is an enjoyable fusion of styles. [Luke – Danzig]
Not sure what I’ll think of a whole album, but for now I’m rather digging the theatricality. [wolfking – King Diamond]

These for the David Bowies, I'm hoping it's the 'enormous improvement' and Nekov gets the 'moderate' one. I sent a better selection :angel:

just sent ... and now waiting for the other fogeys to tell me that I sent the complete wrong set of songs  ;D

 ;)

Well, I've said it twice already, so no need to hammer the point home again. 

But man, what a hot take.  You got some stones.  It could just pan out though.

I just found it funny that a lot of you acted as I predicted but no one made the connection.  :D

PS: I like Roth and Hagar VH equally and I tried to make a playlist for both eras but it just didn't work, they were too long or had missing some essential tunes, so I settled with Van Hagar, as I think it's more accessible. We'll see how it goes.

i only learned while i was looking up the song for submitting that apparently it was on one of the guardians of the galaxy soundtracks? nice
The bold is correct, and yes Guardians of the Galaxy was definitely somewhere I've heard it before. :lol

To be clear, there are 6 submissions of artists I've heard a reasonable amount from before (though not always whole albums). Yours is not, in fact, one of those.

But in light of Buddy's and Kwyji's posts, the other 5 people who sent me artists I've heard before will need to guess more precisely than that if they think it's one of those. :P

No I didn't. Fuck that. I picked an 80's pop song (Alone...it was on the Billboard charts...which is where I got the idea) and I decided to go with Heart. There was no band that I had that I could even send without just picking some fucking random band, which I eventually did.

Nice.  KD albums are an intense journey.  Great stories with many twists and turns.  As I said he's rather polarizing at first but grows massively.  Helps that the guitar work and musicianship is top notch.

Nothing out of the ordinary, but quite enjoyable.
Nice variety of styles - some I loved, others I’m not sure about yet.
A nice and varied listen - reminded me of one of your previous submissions.

One of these for Prince?  I can see maybe feeling a Styx vibe in some of the tunes.  If not these, I hope I'm remarkably consistent.

@ Tim... When you play ball, and you're own fucking team calls you for a foul, you know you've been caught.  Keep doubling down though.  It's a good look.   ::)

If you're digging any of it, find one of the later (meaning more recent) live versions of Alone; they tend to be more sparse, and Ann sings her butt off on those.  Also, check the song "Wait For An Answer"; probably my single favorite vocal performance ever.  The song blows, but it's worth it to hear her sing.

It's all quite funny for a couple of reasons.
 - I've been sent a fair bit of pop already, and some of it scored well. Or did that not count because it was good pop? :P
 - No comment on the quality and I can't speak for each artist's wider work, but the fogeys including Tim have all sent me stuff that's pretty equally poppy (EDIT: which isn't actually that much).

I'll own this one.  My "challenge" to a few of my fellow fogeys was a 1-round play of 80s pop-rock.  Five of us agreed.  Four of us actually sent acts that were in the vein of "pop" (as a genre, not the actual definition of the word), while one sent a the most "popular" hits from a legendary classic rock band.

Round 4 first impressions

You are remarkably consistent.
More intense than I was expecting. [Nekov – David Bowie]
Nothing out of the ordinary, but quite enjoyable.
Slightly dated production but there’s some great stuff in here.
Didn’t wow me, but there was one particular aspect I liked a lot.
Loved the groove, but (one song aside) where were the melodies?
Nice variety of styles - some I loved, others I’m not sure about yet. [Elite – David Bowie]
I’m sure I’ve heard this before, but hadn’t appreciated how good it is. [Cyril – 10cc]
Dark, atmospheric - not sure I took it all in on first listen but I liked it. [Puppies – In the Woods]
Quite enjoyable, but I’m not sure it goes far enough in doing what it does. [lonestar – Berlin]
A nice and varied listen - reminded me of one of your previous submissions. [Stadler – Squeeze]
Fantastic vocals, I just wonder if I might end up finding the music too tame. [TAC – Heart]
Opening up the 90s seems to have led us closer to your usual comfort zone. [Sacul – Gustavo Cerati]
This was pretty much comparable to what I’ve previously heard from this artist.
This was a moderate improvement on what I’ve previously heard from this artist. [Kwyjibo – Van Halen]
This was an enormous improvement on what I’ve previously heard from this artist. [Buddy – Nine Inch Nails]
The vocals aren’t the most consistent, but the music is an enjoyable fusion of styles.
Not sure what I’ll think of a whole album, but for now I’m rather digging the theatricality. [wolfking – King Diamond]

Stads, I remember seeing Saueeze live on MTV and I was blown away that Glenn Tilbrook did all the solos.  I never knew back in the day.

I've seen them three times now, and the show from where the picture came I was first row center, and I really came away with a good impression of him:  he is a REALLY good guitar player.  Some of the things he plays while singing are just jaw-dropping.  Seriously.  Not widdly-widdly like Yngwie, but really complicated.  If their tickets were cheaper, they would be one of those bands I would just go see because (for some reason, their tickets are really expensive; where they've played the last couple times around here, is a 500 seat theater, and most tickets are in the $60 range, and they are consistently over $100.)

Hmmm, what’s left? New guesses:


Nothing out of the ordinary, but quite enjoyable.

Slightly dated production but there’s some great stuff in here.

The vocals aren’t the most consistent, but the music is an enjoyable fusion of styles.

Sup, here are the completed first impressions:

Round 4 first impressions

You are remarkably consistent. [Evermind – Blackmore's Night]
More intense than I was expecting. [Nekov – David Bowie]
Nothing out of the ordinary, but quite enjoyable. [HOF – XTC]
Slightly dated production but there’s some great stuff in here. [Ruba – Psychotic Waltz]
Didn’t wow me, but there was one particular aspect I liked a lot. [king – The Beach Boys]
Loved the groove, but (one song aside) where were the melodies? [jingle – Prince]
Nice variety of styles - some I loved, others I’m not sure about yet. [Elite – David Bowie]
I’m sure I’ve heard this before, but hadn’t appreciated how good it is. [Cyril – 10cc]
Dark, atmospheric - not sure I took it all in on first listen but I liked it. [Puppies – In the Woods]
Quite enjoyable, but I’m not sure it goes far enough in doing what it does. [lonestar – Berlin]
A nice and varied listen - reminded me of one of your previous submissions. [Stadler – Squeeze]
Fantastic vocals, I just wonder if I might end up finding the music too tame. [TAC – Heart]
Opening up the 90s seems to have led us closer to your usual comfort zone. [Sacul – Gustavo Cerati]
This was pretty much comparable to what I’ve previously heard from this artist. [romdrums – Genesis]
This was a moderate improvement on what I’ve previously heard from this artist. [Kwyjibo – Van Halen]
This was an enormous improvement on what I’ve previously heard from this artist. [Buddy – Nine Inch Nails]
The vocals aren’t the most consistent, but the music is an enjoyable fusion of styles. [Luke – Danzig]
Not sure what I’ll think of a whole album, but for now I’m rather digging the theatricality. [wolfking – King Diamond]


Comparisons will be tomorrow!

I thought about it some more, and I can see how Rich might find the vocal melodies somewhat underwhelming.

I appreciate Prince, but I fully never quite understood the hype truthfully.

For the most part, I'm with you.  But Purple Rain is absolute gold.  And there are some gems with some of his early albums.  90s and later ... I'm with ya. Not my cup of tea.

Well, actually the average indicative score is nearly identical to the previous round. But the scores are a bit more squished together, and yes more people are seeing a drop that a rise.

EDIT: There was a similar trend in my last roulette, with scores generally rising in the first few rounds, but that didn't happen in earlier roulettes (which were album roulettes). My hypothesis is that as a group you're not necessarily sending better artists, but take a couple of rounds to get better at figuring out which songs I'll like.

No, the highest I've ever given was a 9.5 (when scoring to the nearst 0.5) and 9.4 (when scoring to the nearest 0.1).

I mean, way back in my v2 song roulette I did give one individual song a 10/10 in the final but that was a very different sort of roulette. I can't imagine doing that in my new-style roulettes.

You should be thanking me that you, despite pussing out of the challenge, you settled on the "popular" Heart songs.  You'd not have done so otherwise, and are bound to score well with them.

Transcending Time is a song that I see myself listening to a lot in the future. Not even Mangini overplaying was able to ruin it. It's sad that I've come to the conclusion that MM is what ruined DT for me. The guy's one of the most technical drummers I've heard in my life, but he is just so boring. It's like they have a robot on the drums.
Anyways, Awaken the Master is also quite good. I like that Jordan took a more orchestral approach to some of the songs which I like better than when he pretends to be a guitar hero playing keys.

the band is basically a group of friends who put out new music every 2-3 years at this point and that's not gonna change but labrie has clearly lost his voice and considering they're over 30 years into their career i think it's okay to acknowledge that lol

ROUND 4 RESULTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
lonestar – Berlin
1. The Metro
2. Masquerade
3. No More Words

First impression: Quite enjoyable, but I’m not sure it goes far enough in doing what it does.

Final opinion: This may be one of the lowest scores of the round, but you’ll notice it’s a good deal higher than the lower scores in each of the previous rounds. My favourite here is easily No More Words - seems like a proper pop tune and it’s great, very catchy and has a nice sort of warmth to the sound. The other two are good still, but they just feel a bit restrained, like they were unsure of whether they wanted to make pop tunes or pop rock songs and ended up not really doing either properly. So we end up with something that’s sort of synthpop but with some thin-sounding electric guitar playing chords underneath. That sounds a little harsh maybe, I do quite like both songs, I just wish they really went for it and the songs had more energy.

Score: 7.6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke – Danzig
1. Long Way Back From Hell
2. Tired of Being Alive
3. I'm the One
4. Blood and Tears

First impression: The vocals aren’t the most consistent, but the music is an enjoyable fusion of styles.

Final opinion: This is pretty good stuff. I have a passing familiarity with the Misfits and never really got the appeal from what I’ve heard, but I find this a lot more interesting. It’s heavy metal but with a really strong blues influence, and it’s a fusion that works surprisingly well. That said, I do wonder if his vocal style is better suited to the Misfits. There are moments where it works (the dark bluesy vibe of Blood and Tears is great in general, and seems to fit his style) but at other times it just doesn’t really work for me.

Score: 7.7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
jingle – Prince
1. Let’s Go Crazy
2. 1999
3. When Doves Cry
4. Little Red Corvette
5. Raspberry Beret

First impression: Loved the groove, but (one song aside) where were the melodies?

Final opinion: The only Prince song I really know before this was Purple Rain, and I liked it with its pretty memorable chorus that’s great for singing along at karaoke. But I was aware that he was extremely talented and his music was varied, and so I’ve enjoyed this submission showing some different sides of his music. What surprised me a little was how lacking in interesting melodies I find most of these songs, especially for such a popular and beloved artist. The one exception, and it’s a big one, is When Doves Cry which in all regards is a really great song. I’ve also come around on 1999 (which I was aware from pop culture references but had never actually heard) - I still feel that’s a complete absence of any meaningful tune, but the groove is so great that it doesn’t matter. The rest, I can take or leave really.

Score: 7.7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
king – The Beach Boys
1. Surfin’ USA
2. In My Room
3. Fun, Fun, Fun
4. I Get Around
5. Help Me, Ronda
6. California Girls
7. Wouldn’t It Be Nice
8. God Only Knows
9. Good Vibrations

First impression: Didn’t wow me, but there was one particular aspect I liked a lot.

Final opinion: I’m obviously fairly familiar with the Beach Boys already (you’d have to live under a rock not to be) and so I knew three of these songs fairly well. Two of those (Surfin’ USA and Fun Fun Fun) are enjoyable enough but nothing special, but I’d honestly forgotten how nice Good Vibrations is, and definitely have more appreciation especially for the gorgeous minor key verses. For the other songs, I’d maybe heard a couple before but didn’t really know them, and the others I didn’t know at all, and they’re all generally very nice. What I really like about the band is, unsurprisingly, the vocal harmonies. Not many of the songs are especially exciting, but all of them are made enjoyable by the vocals.

Score: 7.8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
romdrums – Genesis
1. Dance on a Volcano
2. Mama
3. Keep It Dark
4. Los Endos

First impression: This was pretty much comparable to what I’ve previously heard from this artist.

Final opinion: My previous experience with Genesis has been somewhat mixed. Some really fantastic stuff, some decent stuff, and some that I’ve ended up finding a little boring. This submission has somehow managed to encapsulate that range in four songs. :lol Dance on a Volcano is generally in their earlier proggier vein, and it’s a very good song - nothing special maybe but some great themes and ideas in there. Mama is getting into the more sort of experimental-pop style that to be honest I’m less familiar with, but this song is amazing and the real standout here. Keep it Dark stays on the poppier side, but isn’t nearly as interesting, and then Los Endos is back to the proggy but unfortunately doesn’t really do much for me. I appreciate the variety you sent me, and even though not all of it worked, it definitely made me want to go back and check out more of their works.

Score: 7.9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOF – XTC
1. My Bird Performs
2. Earn Enough For Us
3. Mayor Of Simpleton
4. Then She Appeared
5. Wrapped In Grey

First impression: Nothing out of the ordinary, but quite enjoyable.

Final opinion: This roulette is proving quite good for non-Brits introducing me to classic British bands that I’m unfamiliar with and that just aren’t very big here (though I imagine they will have been more so at the time). In this case, the general style and sound seems to be pretty straightforward even for its time, but as vaguely psychedelic pop rock goes, this is a really nice selection of songs. A warm sound and some fun, catchy tunes with a nice sincerity to them. Wrapped in Grey is my favourite, just has a lovely emotionality to it.

Score: 8.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stadler – Squeeze
1. Up The Junction
2. Hourglass
3. Another Nail ln My Heart
4. Separate Beds
5. Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)
6. Black Coffee In Bed

First impression: A nice and varied listen - reminded me of one of your previous submissions.

Final opinion: My initial rating was a little lower, but I’ve been enjoying this more with each listen. As you correct surmised, this reminded me a bit of your earlier Cars submission. The style is quite different, but it was more the way they blend fairly upbeat, pleasant music with a deceptive amount of depth and emotion that prompted a similar reaction from me, and which I like for much the same reason. I’m afraid I’ve not had time to follow along with a lyrics sheet, but I’ve picked up enough just from listening to know that I like it. They have quite a pretty English down-to-earth sort of poetic approach that works really well for me.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC – Heart
1. Crazy On You
2. Alone
3. Barracuda
4. Magic Man

First impression: Fantastic vocals, I just wonder if I might end up finding the music too tame.

Final opinion: So the answer was that, on the whole, no I don’t find this music too tame at all. In fact, I like it a lot! I find it funny that some of your fellow fogeys have been ripping into you, considering that to my ears this is pretty much as poppy as what they sent me. Indeed I think it was probably the soft sound and low mix on the electric guitar that prompted my initial reaction about the music being tame, but once I got my head around it, I found myself really enjoying it. Crazy On You, Alone and Magic Man all have some great, memorable hooks, and Wilson has a superb voice. The only dud, which incidentally feels the closest to being a rock song, is Barracuda, which ok is kind of fun I guess, but also kind of corny.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sacul – Gustavo Cerati
1. Bocanada
2. Puente
3. Raíz
4. Perdonar Es Divino
5. Verbo Carne

First impression: Opening up the 90s seems to have led us closer to your usual comfort zone.

Final opinion: As soon as the 90s become available, you send me some chilled-out downtempo stuff. :lol I have to say though, you’ve done it with a twist this time, sending me an Argentinian artist singing in Spanish. There’s no language barrier at all, the different sounds and phrasing just took some getting used to as I don’t think I’ve heard this style in Spanish before (or any language other than English and I think French). The other twist is that while this is mostly quite laid-back, he does throw some other ideas in that keep it exciting and dynamic - the pop rock stylings of Puente in particular work great. All in all I like it quite a lot!

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kwyjibo – Van Halen
1. Dreams
2. 5150
3. Right Now
4. Don’t Tell Me

First impression: This was a moderate improvement on what I’ve previously heard from this artist.

Final opinion: You and wolfking were both offered the chance to make changes based on your initial submissions being artists I received in my last roulette, and that didn’t score well. You chose to stick with your entry, and it was a good call. Your song selection seems to have riled up some of the other fogeys, but you’ve done a good job of hitting my tastes. This has solidified my view that I have a strong preference for Hagar over Roth, and on top of that these songs have much stronger hooks than most of those Stadler sent me last time. Genuinely catchy, fun and with performances full of energy. Very enjoyable, and so I will give them another shot.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruba – Psychotic Waltz
1. ...And the Devil Cried
2. Halo of Thorns
3. I Remember
4. A Psychotic Waltz

First impression: Slightly dated production but there’s some great stuff in here.

Final opinion: I don’t really know how to describe this. In some ways, it’s clearly in that late 80s/early 90s vein of prog metal, and the general production style definitely places in that time. But then it also sounds a little dark and theatrical and I’m not sure I’ve heard other prog metal from that early on that takes this approach. I like it a lot. The first track has some moments that are a bit iffy, but it’s still pretty good, and the rest are excellent in different ways.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Puppies – In the Woods
1. The Divinity of Wisdom
2. Omnio? - Bardo
3. Generally More Worried Than Married

First impression: Dark, atmospheric - not sure I took it all in on first listen but I liked it.

Final opinion: This is more like it! Three songs, each from a different album, and I’ve come away with no real clue what genre this band sit within. :lol There’s clearly some atmospheric black metal in there, especially in the first track, but also some other styles and influences such as doom metal, prog and post-rock. It’s a little eclectic as a result, so it took a few listens to really get into, but I got there and I think it’s helped by there being a consistent gloomy atmosphere throughout each track. As a result, despite the different styles and production, I do at least feel I have a sense of the mood and tone of their music, and it’s good stuff.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyril – 10cc
1. I’m Not In Love

First impression: I’m sure I’ve heard this before, but hadn’t appreciated how good it is.

Final opinion: So yeah I’ve heard this in Guardians of the Galaxy, and possibly elsewhere. I never really thought much of it, but giving it a full proper listen allowed me to appreciate how lush the sound is and emotive the music is. And then, as recommended, reading up on how the song was recorded also gave me a further appreciation for it. When you’re used to certain sounds or styles, it’s easy to forget (or rather not even notice) to appreciate them in earlier music when those ideas were first being used. For me that’s not enough on its own, but when the music itself is also strong (like this is), it adds another level of enjoyment onto it.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite – David Bowie
1. Oh! You Pretty Things
2. Drive-In Saturday
3. Ashes To Ashes
4. Sound And Vision
5. Hallo Spaceboy (Pet Shop Boys remix)
6. Life on Mars?

First impression: Nice variety of styles - some I loved, others I’m not sure about yet.

Final opinion: Here’s the first of our Bowie entries, and it’s a good one. I like how you’ve offered up a range of styles and eras, mixing some of his earlier art rock that (sonically anyway) was more straightforward with some slightly later stuff where he experimented with sounds and electronics, and even a full on electronic remix by the Pet Shop Boys! I don’t love every song - Drive-In Saturday is good but not great, Ashes to Ashes takes a while to get going (although it’s fantastic when it does) and Sound and Vision is a little unexciting. But the good songs are so good that they easily compensate. Time for me to finally check out a lot more of his work.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nekov – David Bowie
1. Hallo Spaceboy
2. Little Wonder
3. Dead Man Walking

First impression: More intense than I was expecting.

Final opinion: And here we have our second Bowie submission, which I like even more (though only by a bit). Whereas Elite went for a range of styles and eras, you’ve focused on 90s Bowie. And it works really well too, just in a different way. Whereas Richard gave me a broader sense of his work, you’ve given me a deeper insight into his experimentation in this period with electronics and industrial rock, and honestly it sounds really great. This original version of Hallo Spaceboy is even better that the remix - it’s surprisingly intense, and the two songs from Earthling are really good too - a little more spacey in sound but still with some really cool energetic parts.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evermind – Blackmore's Night
1. Play Minstrel Play
2. No Second Chance
3. Spanish Nights (I Remember It Well)

First impression: You are remarkably consistent.

Final opinion: Between this roulette and my last one, that’s now 12 straight rounds scoring 8.1 or higher, which is mighty impressive. This is another great submission - nothing fundamentally unusual but quite a nice twist on straightforward styles. It’s really nice folk music, very rich in melody and sound, but you can also sort of tell it comes from a rock guitarist. Less so in the first two songs, and these are incidentally my favourites, the music is lovely. Spanish Nights definitely sounds like it could have been a folk cover of early Rainbow. :lol But it’s still good fun. The singer’s voice isn’t anything special, but it suits the music really well.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buddy – Nine Inch Nails
1. The Frail
2. The Wretched
3. Just Like You Imagined
4. Into The Void

First impression: This was an enormous improvement on what I’ve previously heard from this artist.

Final opinion: As you already noted in the thread, my ratings of a couple of NIN’s other albums were literally from 15 years ago, and so can’t necessarily be taken as an indicator of my tastes today. And to be honest I remember little about them, other than just not getting it at all. But this? This is great. A really good mix of intense industrial rock, groove, melody and even some ambient moments. Some very cool hooks, not always in the vocals but also in what the guitars and synths are doing. Hard to tell from these what I’ll think of the 100-minute album, but I enjoyed everything about these very much.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
wolfking – King Diamond
1. At the Graves
2. Sleepless Nights
3. Eye of the Witch
4. The Trial (Chambre Ardente)

First impression: Not sure what I’ll think of a whole album, but for now I’m rather digging the theatricality.

Final opinion: Unlike Kwyji, when you were offered the chance to make changes based on your initial submissions being artists I received in my last roulette, you chose to send something else. But like Kwyji, you made a good call. I’m quite surprised at how much I’m liking this. It’s not uncommon for me to like all the elements of something but not end up liking it overall as much as I feel like I should. This is sort of the other way round. I feel like I should find his voice a bit irritating (see my Judas Priest review from round 1), but for some reason it just works. I think it must be the theatricality - I thought I’d be in for something fun when the RYM genre tags were “heavy metal” and “halloween music”. :lol It means that the over-the-top, slightly screechy vocals fit the style, and it also makes the music itself quirky and enjoyable. The balance of that fun side with some good quality metal is just really cool.

Score: 8.4

Interestingly, the top 3 are also the top 3 from my first album roulette (my v3, which was my first roulette after a few years' hiatus). At least one of you has struggled in each of my roulettes since, but now all three of you are back on form which is rather pleasing!

I’ll take an 8! Ironically, most of the bands I love are from the UK. If you liked that collection, definitely check out Nonsuch as it really has all the best of what XTC has to offer. I don’t know that any of their other albums would be essential if you don’t like that, but their two next best (IMO) would be Skylarking, which is a really wonderful mix of orchestral and power pop tunes but with lousy sound*, and Apple Venus Vol. 1 which is largely orchestral and more in line with Wrapped in Grey.

*the overall production on that one is really strong, but something got messed up on the final mix somehow and it doesn’t sound good.

I'll take that score for Genesis.  Glad to hear you're inspired enough to check them out further.  The live albums Seconds Out and Three Sides Live are where I would start, honestly.  Genesis were a killer live band. And, I know you nixed it for the roulette, but the In the Cage Medley on 3SL is easily one of my favorite moments in music.  I know Stadler agrees!

Also, sent.

The score and write-up I posted for your Heart submission... was fake. Because of the fogey-on-fogey bickering, your fellow fogeys (who, I have it on record, are bastards) thought it would be fun to mess with you, and who was I to say no.

You didn't come last.

You didn't score 7.2.

You didn't drop from 3rd place to 11th.

In fact, your submission was better than any of theirs, and has kept you in the running in a solid 4th place. :lol

I've updated the results posts with your real results, real standings and real graphs. Here's your real review:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC – Heart
1. Crazy On You
2. Alone
3. Barracuda
4. Magic Man

First impression: Fantastic vocals, I just wonder if I might end up finding the music too tame.

Final opinion: So the answer was that, on the whole, no I don’t find this music too tame at all. In fact, I like it a lot! I find it funny that some of your fellow fogeys have been ripping into you, considering that to my ears this is pretty much as poppy as what they sent me. Indeed I think it was probably the soft sound and low mix on the electric guitar that prompted my initial reaction about the music being tame, but once I got my head around it, I found myself really enjoying it. Crazy On You, Alone and Magic Man all have some great, memorable hooks, and Wilson has a superb voice. The only dud, which incidentally feels the closest to being a rock song, is Barracuda, which ok is kind of fun I guess, but also kind of corny.

Score: 8.1

TAC – Heart
1. Crazy On You
2. Alone
3. Barracuda
4. Magic Man

First impression: Fantastic vocals, I just wonder if I might end up finding the music too tame.

Final opinion: Hmm, well, to start with the positive, I really do like the vocals a lot. Wilson has a superb voice which makes these songs pretty fun and energetic, and so I do like them overall. I’m just not quite feeling the music really. Alone is a very nice pop song, and Crazy On You is kind of fun although I wish the guitars had a bit more punch. Then the other two songs unfortunately I find a little bland - Barracuda in particular is just a bit corny for my tastes.

Score: 7.2

I'm actually relieved that Heart did this good.  But still salty that Tim put his desire to win above his integrity of keeping to a gentlemen's agreement.

Guess he's following my Roulette motto.  And for that, he gets a  :tup




























But I'm still salty.

I still maintain that, at least with the songs that I was sent, all your submissions were pretty much equally poppy, with mostly fairly similar levels of electric guitar involved.

But I appreciate that their wider work may have been more distinct.

Evermind – Blackmore's Night
1. Play Minstrel Play
2. No Second Chance
3. Spanish Nights (I Remember It Well)

First impression: You are remarkably consistent.

Final opinion: Between this roulette and my last one, that’s now 12 straight rounds scoring 8.1 or higher, which is mighty impressive. This is another great submission - nothing fundamentally unusual but quite a nice twist on straightforward styles. It’s really nice folk music, very rich in melody and sound, but you can also sort of tell it comes from a rock guitarist. Less so in the first two songs, and these are incidentally my favourites, the music is lovely. Spanish Nights definitely sounds like it could have been a folk cover of early Rainbow. :lol But it’s still good fun. The singer’s voice isn’t anything special, but it suits the music really well.

Score: 8.3

I think you may enjoy their work then, I sent busier songs but there are plenty of ballads where it's just acoustic guitar, some keys and vocals. Good to know you liked it!

Precisely why I wouldn't send it. :lol

Fuck that. Never in a million years would I ever send Heart in a roulette. I don't own anything by them. I wasn't sending Blondie to Ariich, sorry. So I was viewing Billboard pop charts.
I noticed Alone was rated pretty highly in whatever year it was, and I went with that.

I had a Police entry ready, I even had an Icicle Works entry ready.

So don't fucking tell me I wasn't playing along.



But I'm still salty.


Probably because I still beat you in a round that I wasn't even trying. :P :P :P :P

Heart is a great send, doesn't surprise me one bit they scored well, and their older stuff is far from pop imho. Ann Wilson is one of the premiere singers of our time, her version of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center was a performance of a lifetime.

With each passing round I regret sending Slayer more and more. :lol Not that I immediatey have something else I would have rather sent, but still…

Hope you enjoy The Fragile! If you like that you should probably give TDS another listen. Some really great stuff on there. Would also recommend Broken (their most straight-up metal release), With Teeth (a bit more accessible, but some really good songs), and Bad Witch (much more experimental).

Sent!

+1 to all this.  I had Heart on my short list of acts to use in the final 2 rounds.  I'm honestly baffled Tim is so turned off by them, considering he's a big Pat Benatar fan.  I'm being sincere here... no poking fun.  Alone is a god-tier ballad, and Crazy On You is a Top 100 song of all time in my books.  That block of songs you sent was classic rock gold - far from "pop-rock".

I'm not turned off by Heart. I've just never gotten into them. They've always been available on classic rock radio, and I've always been satisfied by that.

As far as Pat Benatar, In The Heat Of The Night was one of the first 8-tracks  :lol I got. We Live For Love was big on the radio at the time I was really becoming musically aware. So her first two albums are essential for me. I never struck that kind of bond with Heart.

Like I said, once I decided to not send Blondie (which was an easy decision) , I was really kind of stuck. I was perusing year end Billboard charts for the early to mid 80's. I had no guilty pleasure pop styled bands back then.

To play along, I would literally have to grab a band out of thin air. Then I saw Heart.
That was last minute.

I had The Police up and ready to go..

By the way, first impressions will be tonight but my initial overall reaction is that, whereas the last round had the scores more bunched together (highest low score and lowest high score), this round will probably see a wider spread. Possibly more sub-8.0 scores, but some of the strongest submissions so far too.

U2 is not mine, although it's a good selection.

I'd been a casual fan for a while, but only just really dug in to them over the past year, and for some reason skipped over Behind Closed Doors.  I should give that a more proper listen

This years release was really nice - especially with the extra/bonus disc on Spotify

Afro Celt Sound System

I don't know who these guys are but that has Sacul written all over it

They're on Peter Gabriel's Real World label.  Cool stuff that I've been meaning to check out for a long time.

Both Pete and Robert Plant have done songs with them.  Cool stuff, IMO.

That's why I know this song. Although I never heard the original.

He is/was on my list, actually.  I would have sent some of his later stuff, though, simply because the difference from Zeppelin is starker.

Round 5 first impressions

:hat [Buddy – Afro Celt Sound System]
:metal [jingle – Tesla]
Super cool and rather nice. [Evermind – Mark Knopfler]
A bit disappointingly normal. [wolfking – Mercyful Fate]
This energy is kind of infectious. [Luke – The Wildhearts]
First half was ok, second half was a lot better. [Ruba – Failure]
Not a style I normally go for, but this sounded cool. [lonestar – Love and Rockets]
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s generally alright. [Sacul – Godspeed You Black Emperor!]
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s no problem at all. [TAC – Michael Kiske]
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s a bit disappointing. [romdrums – U2]
This all sounded nice but I’m not sure it all sounded exciting. [king – Robert Plant]
Some of this was good, the rest was great, all of it was familiar. [Elite – Duke Ellington]
This might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me - unexpectedly excellent. [Stadler – Jellyfish]
Very pretty, although I liked it more when the production had a bit of punch. [Puppies – The Cranberries]
Liking the rocking vibe and performances, not yet sure about the melodic hooks. [Kwyjibo – Thunder]
Reminds me a little of a later band I like, if perhaps not quite as emotionally rewarding. [HOF – Toad The Wet Sprocket]
Sounded nice but wasn’t at all what I expected, so I’ll need to listen again having recalibrated. [Nekov – The Waterboys]
You’re showing me up by sending me loads of stuff I like but should really have known already. [Cyril – New Radicals]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

The Dead Flag Blues


 :o

That'd be Sacul
This is one of those songs that could either score really high, or completely bomb. :corn

I'd honestly score it somewhere in between; I like it but GY!BE has much better pieces imo :corn
I was thinking of sending some of the other tracks from the album, but I feel this one is just the right length for the roulette.

Is the unguessed band Failure

And one of the songs The Nurse Who Loved Me
Huh I had them on my backlog, hope they score well.

Round 5 first impressions
First half was ok, second half was a lot better.

Gotta be Godspeed



This energy is kind of infectious.
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s no problem at all.
Very pretty, although I liked it more when the production had a bit of punch.
Liking the rocking vibe and performances, not yet sure about the melodic hooks.

I'll boldly predict one of these for Tesla.

I know we've not finished hangman yet, but that's because we started a little later. It's Tuesday night though, which means time for...

Round 5 first impressions
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s generally alright.

Some of this was good, the rest was great, all of it was familiar.
This might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me - unexpectedly excellent.

    3: Big Log
    4: The Way I Feel
    5: Ship Of Fools

I truly LOVE one Robert Plant album, and for some strange reason, Kingshmegland didn't include anything from it.

Reminds me a little of a later band I like, if perhaps not quite as emotionally rewarding.
Sounded nice but wasn’t at all what I expected, so I’ll need to listen again having recalibrated.

Hey, I got it!
:lol Yeah I didn't mean to suggest that there were no right guesses. It was just starting to feel like trying to teach my 3-year-old calculus. :P

Yes, we are.  And I'd thought about guessing the  :metal, but I figured there were other submissions more "metal".

You'd be just as frustrated trying to teach any of US calculus.

Bugger.  That's what I get for trying to cheat.

Mercyful Fate were always more straight ahead then the theatrical aspect of King Diamond.  I guess that could lead to a bit of an anticlimax hearing MF after KD.  Hopefully you can take them for what they are though without comparing too much to KD.

Post by: ariich on October 28, 2021, 03:41:10 PM
ROUND 5 RESULTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
romdrums – U2
1. New Year’s Day
2. Pride (In The Name Of Love)
3. I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
4. One
5. Bullet The Blue Sky

First impression: Pretty much what I expected, and that’s a bit disappointing.

Final opinion: I’ve never found U2 to be especially enticing, and this hasn’t entirely changed my mind although there is enough here to at least make me want to check out an album or two. The submission starts reasonably strongly - New Year’s Day isn’t anything special, but it’s good. And then Pride (In the Name of Love) is easily the best song here, genuinely enjoyable and with some really nice hooks. But then the rest just sounds a little on the boring side I’m afraid. Like, I remember Bill Bailey poked fun at them in one of his standup routines, and these songs pretty much sound exactly like that to me. :lol

Score: 7.4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
wolfking – Mercyful Fate
1. A Dangerous Meeting
2. Evil
3. The Bell Witch
4. The Uninvited Guest

First impression: A bit disappointingly normal.

Final opinion: Ah mate, this was a real shame. You were scoring better with each round, but I can only assume you were thrown by my surprising love for the King Diamond you sent me. I did caution that I felt I should find his voice irritating, and suggested that it works well because of the theatricality. On the basis of admittedly fairly small samples of songs, I think I might have been right. Which isn’t to say that this is completely devoid of any theatrics, but it’s definitely much more straightforward metal. That’s also not to say I dislike it, it’s actually pretty decent. Evil, in particular, is a really solid tune. But for the rest, I don’t find the music all that exciting, and then his squealing over the top does start to become a little grating.

Score: 7.5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruba – Failure
1. Macaque
2. Frogs
3. The Nurse Who Loved Me
4. Another Space Song

First impression: First half was ok, second half was a lot better.

Final opinion: This is definitely a submission of two halves. I can kind of see what they (and you) were going for with the first two songs, but they do very little for me. I don’t have much that’s negative to say about them, I just don’t get anything from them. The second half is so much better though. The Nurse Who Loved Me is easily the best, and is a genuinely strong song with some nice hooks and a really cool grungy alt-rock vibe. Another Space Song is kind of weird and cool - although it does drag a little despite not being very long.

Score: 7.7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
lonestar – Love and Rockets
1. No New Tale to Tell
2. Sweet Lover Hangover
3. Yin and Yang (The Flowerpot Man)
4. Sweet FA

First impression: Not a style I normally go for, but this sounded cool.

Final opinion: I'm not even sure exactly how I'd define this style, seems to be a mix of early alt rock, post-punk, even a hint of punk itself. I found that mix quite appealing from the start, and indeed I still think it works well. The songs haven't settled down with me as well as I might have hoped, they're all pretty good but I wouldn't consider any of them great really. But this still deserves a respectable score because I genuinely do enjoy the style and vibe of the submission, and it's not quite like anything else I listen to.

Score: 7.8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
king – Robert Plant
1. Little By Little
2. Hurting Kind (I’ve Got My Eyes On You)
3. Big Log
4. The Way I Feel
5. Ship Of Fools

First impression: This all sounded nice but I’m not sure it all sounded exciting.

Final opinion: Ah I like this but I wish I liked it more. I appreciate how you sent me a mix of styles and stuff that's maybe not too ordinary for him (although to be honest I've not heard most of his stuff anyway), I just find the quality a little variable. It starts and ends quite strongly. Ship of Fools especially is a really nice song, quite a unique sound and great vibe. Little by Little also has some good hooks and ideas. The songs in between are all fine, I just find them lacking something. I've listened four times and couldn't tell you what any of them sound like.

Score: 7.8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOF – Toad The Wet Sprocket
1. Are We Afraid
2. Butterflies
3. Pray Your Gods
4. Stories I Tell
5. Inside

First impression: Reminds me a little of a later band I like, if perhaps not quite as emotionally rewarding.

Final opinion: Ok so the band I was referring to was actually Blue October. They're not really the same style, but there's a bit of a similarity in terms of being fairly accessible alt-rock with an emotional edge, and that's what stood out on first listen. I like this a fair bit - a couple of songs aren't especially interesting but the rest have some good hooks and nice ideas, and I do have a soft spot for when music like this takes a surprisingly nuanced emotive approach (despite their silly name).  It doesn't quite hit the mark, and I don't find myself quite loving it, but it's very close.

Score: 7.9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sacul – Godspeed You Black Emperor!
1. The Dead Flag Blues

First impression: Pretty much what I expected, and that’s generally alright.

Final opinion: There are some things I really like about this, and it did grow on me. Actually I think it’s my favourite thing I’ve heard from GYBE, as I’ve not previously been much of a fan. What I really like is the delicate sound and the lush use of strings that makes it feel quite distinct from a lot of post-rock (and certainly the post-rock from that time - I think there’s more overlap of that genre and “modern classical” these days). Ultimately, I just wish there was a bit more happening to get my teeth into, not necessarily in terms of instrumentation (as I said, I like the delicate sound) but it’s just very long and it doesn’t feel to me that there’s enough musical content to warrant it. Indeed, it seems like it completely stops a couple of times and starts up again.

Score: 7.9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Puppies – The Cranberries
1. Dreams
2. Linger
3. Promises
4. Daffodil Lament

First impression: Very pretty, although I liked it more when the production had a bit of punch.

Final opinion: When you sent me this, you expressed your love for how jangly it is. To be honest, I can’t say that I find “jangly” a particularly desirable descriptor, but thankfully I don’t find this especially jangly anyway (so I guess maybe we think of that word differently). To me this music all sounds pretty and rather elegant, and I like the slight celtic vibe that’s somewhat present in the music but especially in her voice. I definitely like Promises the most - the production is much stronger and I think it really helps make it more exciting, but possibly the songwriting is a bit tighter and punchier as well. The other songs are all nice too, though.

Score: 8.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kwyjibo – Thunder
1. Backstreet Symphony
2. Laughing on Judgement Day
3. Ball and Chain
4. This Forgotten Town

First impression: Liking the rocking vibe and performances, not yet sure about the melodic hooks.

Final opinion: This ended up being one of the biggest growers of the round. I'm not sure why the vocal melodies didn't interest me on first listen, I guess some tunes are just more immediate than others. I liked the rocking energy from the start though. Not quite the same but these songs remind me a little of Guns n Roses. Not up there with GNR's very best songs, but comparable with the next level down of solid album tracks. If all their stuff is comparable, I could see myself getting into them a fair bit. Standout songs are Laughing on Judgement Day and This Forgotten Town.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC – Michael Kiske
1. Shadowfights
2. The Calling
3. Do I Remember A Life?

First impression: Pretty much what I expected, and that’s no problem at all.

Final opinion: If you’d asked me what I thought solo music by Michael Kiske would sound like, this is exactly what I would guess. Is it cheesy? Yes. But is it too cheesy? Well, probably also yes, at times anyway, but it doesn’t really bother me. I’ve never been a super Kiske fanboy, but the man obviously has talent and his voice works really well on all three of these songs. The music is all pretty grandiose, but I like how you’ve included three slightly different styles. Shadowfights is the one that probably borders on the too-cheesy, but it’s fun and a nice contrast to the other two. The Calling is solid power metal, and Do I Remember A Life is nicely sincere and heartfelt.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nekov – The Waterboys
1. Rags
2. A Pagan Place
3. Old England
4. The Return of Pan
5. Glastonbury Song

First impression: Sounded nice but wasn’t at all what I expected, so I’ll need to listen again having recalibrated.

Final opinion: That first listen was quite weird. I've seen the Waterboys described as folk rock before, and indeed I've checked Wikipedia and it does describe them that way. But, in these songs at least, I'm not hearing any folk at all, but rather somewhat poppy post-punk style rock music. So I had to completely recalibrate and listen again, and I found myself very much liking what I heard. Some bands I've heard in this general style from this era tended to be a bit dreary, but these songs are full of life and energy. The vocal melodies aren't anything special (except in Glastonbury Song which is terrific), but they're enjoyable enough to contribute to the overall sound which has a lovely richness to it, especially in the way piano is used throughout.

Score: 8.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evermind – Mark Knopfler
1. Rudiger
2. Done With Bonaparte
3. Are We In Trouble Now

First impression: Super cool and rather nice.

Final opinion: My previous experience with Dire Straits has been fairly mixed. I initially knew Brothers in Arms quite well, loved a couple of the songs but found the rest dull. Indi turned this around by sending me some excellent songs from Love Over Gold in my last roulette and I ended up loving that album. These Mark Knopfler songs are thankfully comparable with that upper end. The sound and style is really smooth, and the music is rich and elegant. If the rest of this album is as good, it'll be another one to add to my collection.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke – The Wildhearts
1. Caffeine Bomb
2. Suckerpunch
3. 29 X The Pain
4. I Wanna Go Where The People Go

First impression: This energy is kind of infectious.

Final opinion: I've heard one or two Wildhearts songs before, and I'm sure I've caught them live at a festival a while back. I was never particularly enthralled by what I'd heard, but this was perhaps in error. Or maybe you've just sent me all their best songs. Either way, I really like these. I'd always seen them as a punk rock band and that's definitely a part of their music, but not the whole. The benefit of giving them a proper listen here is that I'm really enjoying the mix of influences between punk, pop rock and good old fashioned hard rock. That, combined with a ton of energy, charm and catchy tunes, makes for some damn enjoyable stuff.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyril – New Radicals
1. You Get What You Give
2. I Don’t Wanna Die Anymore

First impression: You’re showing me up by sending me loads of stuff I like and should really have known already.

Final opinion: It's a little embarrassing how obvious some of the stuff is that you're sending me. In this case, You Get What You Give is a really iconic song that I know fairly well, and like quite a lot. I had no idea it was by the New Radicals, and am not 100% sure I'd even heard of them. This sort of thing is exactly what I wanted from this roulette. I Don't Wanna Die Anymore I didn't already know, and it's also excellent, in some ways even better - the powerful vocal delivery later in the song just really gives it some that bit more excitement.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite – Duke Ellington
1. It Don’t Mean A Thing (If I Ain’t Got That Swing) Medley
2. In A Sentimental Mood
3. Caravan
4. Take the “A” Train
5. Blue Pepper (Far East of the Blues)
6. It Don’t Mean A Thing (If I Ain’t Got That Swing)

First impression: Some of this was good, the rest was great, all of it was familiar.

Final opinion: The best jazz you've sent me so far, this is great stuff. It would have been slightly cheating if you'd known that I liked Ellington already, but you had no way of knowing that I don't have any of his albums, just a bunch of individual songs. Interestingly it includes half the ones you sent me, but none of these recordings, so most of this was new to me. The vocal version of “A” Train is kind of cool, although to be honest I much prefer the instrumental I already know. Whereas for It Don't Mean A Thing, it was great that you included both and I preferred the vocal version (which Ella performs with so much energy and charisma). The others all range from good to great too. Clearly I'll have to dig into his stuff a bit more.

Score: 8.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
jingle – Tesla
1. Edison’s Medicine
2. Modern Day Cowboy
3. Paradise
4. What You Give

First impression: :metal

Final opinion: Yeah this rocks. It's been interesting to see the reaction to Tesla in this thread, sounds like a lot of people who you might expect to like this style are lukewarm on them. I can't yet comment on their wider work, but this selection of songs at least is great. Real energy that got me headbanging along, top notch performances including the singer who I find really convincing, and crucially some great and memorable hooks. Not particularly unique or exciting in its overall style, but I really can't fault it in its execution.

Score: 8.3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buddy – Afro Celt Sound System
1. Release
2. Lovers of Light
3. Big Cat

First impression: :hat

Final opinion: I'm surprised you found my first impression ambiguous, as in my experience the :hat emoji has pretty much always signified something cool. And this is definitely cool. Your comparison to Shpongle was spot on, and while what you’ve sent doesn't seem quite as majestically vibrant as Shpongle’s very best stuff, it does have the same qualities I love about their music. The whole mix of groovy electronica with international folk music creates such a great sound and style and these guys seem to do it really well. The specific mix of African and Celtic folk is also pretty unique, I can't say I've heard anything like it before but it ends up working surprisingly great.

Score: 8.6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stadler – Jellyfish
1. The King Is Half-Undressed
2. Calling Sarah
3. Joining A Fan Club
4. The Glutton Of Sympathy
5. Bye, Bye, Bye
6. He’s My Best Friend

First impression: This might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me - unexpectedly excellent.

Final opinion: Alright, so first up, I demand to know why you have been keeping this from me in all my past roulettes. :lol This is just brilliant, and beats your previous score in any of my previous roulettes by a massive 0.7 points. This is one of those bands I’ve heard of, seen their logo and album art, but didn’t know anything about them. Even your description didn’t really give me much sense of what their music would be like. I love it. It’s so dynamic and creative, full of energy and great hooks. While they may have taken influence from older acts, they clearly created something quite new and seemingly influential - different parts of these songs remind me of various artists, almost always more recent ones. These songs are all quite distinct, but all bloody good in different ways. Can’t wait to give these two albums a listen.

Score: 9.1

Ah bugger.  Serves me right for trying to cheat.  All good, to be fair, KD would be almost a top 5 bands for me but MF doesn't even come close, so I deserve that.

Makes sense now, but I guess it was worth a try!


Anyway, a few thoughts going into the final round.

The top 4 have been incredibly consistent and reliable all roulette. It's why, as the graphs show, the rest of the pack has seen quite a lot of movement from round to round but the top 4 have stayed steady for a few rounds now.

Ruslan has a clear lead, but not a comfortable one. He could screw it up, or even if he sends something solid, there are good few people within reaching distance if they send me something amazing.

If Stadler repeats what he just did in round 5, that could be the greatest upset in roulette history.

This doesn't normally happen in my roulettes, but the scores are spread out super evenly. This means that positions can shift a lot in this final round. So while you can't all win, any of you can end up in a solid position if you play a blinder.

And remember, this final round is unrestricted by date. The only banlists are the banned-during-roulette list from the OP, and any album I've rated in my RYM (again linked in the OP, which also explains how to navigate it if you're unsure).

Glad you liked it! I imagine you'll be a bigger fan of the group than me after you dive in. :biggrin:

I think I'm sticking with my guns for the final round. I don't see myself shooting up five spots with the current point gap, and I dunno when your next roulette will be so I'd rather share one of my recent favorite bands rather than something I think has a slightly better chance of scoring higher.

Yeah of course, although if there's something else in particular you had in mind, do feel free to send it to me as a post-roulette submission if you like. You might find I like what you send me for round 6 more anyway. :lol

Nah, I like saving my ammo. This is something I only didn't send in your last roulette due to the coin flip that resulted in me sending Elder instead. If you ever do a v8 and the rules allow it, you'll finally get it Round 1. :lol

...or Sacul could send it for me instead. ;) (that does not narrow it down at all, I realize)

I meant to ask, had you heard the Fates Warning cover of Pray Your Gods? Just curious what your thoughts might be on that if you had. I've never listened to Blue October but my memory of them was that they were considered somewhat Peter Gabriel-ish, so maybe I'd like them. Probably some shared influences there (Peter Gabriel and Talk Talk at least were influences for Toad). I do think you should check out the Fear album. It's pretty eclectic and kind of an underrated gem from that period.

I'm really working that 8.0 average. Just need to get an 8.4 in the last round! Going to bring out the big guns and try to go down in a blaze of glory.

Ok, that was worse than my past result but not by much. I'm glad you liked the songs I sent. The band surely has a wide variety of styles so you may find songs that are maybe more folkish than others. They even have some blues oriented albums. You should definitely check their music, they've done some great stuff through the years.

I think I know what I will send for the last round. Will probably send tomorrow afternoon though.

jingle – Tesla
1. Edison’s Medicine
2. Modern Day Cowboy
3. Paradise
4. What You Give

First impression: :metal

Final opinion: Yeah this rocks. It's been interesting to see the reaction to Tesla in this thread, sounds like a lot of people who you might expect to like this style are lukewarm on them. I can't yet comment on their wider work, but this selection of songs at least is great. Real energy that got me headbanging along, top notch performances including the singer who I find really convincing, and crucially some great and memorable hooks. Not particularly unique or exciting in its overall style, but I really can't fault it in its execution.

Score: 8.3


Congrats to Chad and this score. I freaking loved Tesla. Those first 4 albums are so classic. Chad picked three great tunes, but I don't really rate What You Give. They had so many great tunes though. I'd put their Top 20 against anybody's.

Rich, glad you mentioned Jeff Keith (the singer). He really had a great style and is instantly recognizable. They were a 70's hard rock band with an 80's sound.

Yeah, I've told this story before but...I used to go home from college in my first couple of years. I was driving back one Sunday night in the fall of 1986 and I heard Modern Day Cowboy on the radio. I was FLOORED. I had never heard this before, but it sounded so amazing. When I got to my dorm, I literally called the radio station (request line, which usually went right to the DJ) and asked him what he played right before Bob Seger about 40 minutes ago..

I saw them open for David Lee Roth in January of 1987. They were amazing. Would go on to see them about a half dozen times from 1987 to 1994.



Fun Fact: Back in the day, I bought the vinyls of The Great Radio Controversy and WASP's Live In The Raw together.

Post by: Kwyjibo on October 29, 2021, 02:27:11 AM
Kwyjibo – Thunder
1. Backstreet Symphony
2. Laughing on Judgement Day
3. Ball and Chain
4. This Forgotten Town

First impression: Liking the rocking vibe and performances, not yet sure about the melodic hooks.

Final opinion: This ended up being one of the biggest growers of the round. I'm not sure why the vocal melodies didn't interest me on first listen, I guess some tunes are just more immediate than others. I liked the rocking energy from the start though. Not quite the same but these songs remind me a little of Guns n Roses. Not up there with GNR's very best songs, but comparable with the next level down of solid album tracks. If all their stuff is comparable, I could see myself getting into them a fair bit. Standout songs are Laughing on Judgement Day and This Forgotten Town.

Score: 8.1

I can see the comparisons to GnR. Thunder aren't as wild as GnR, but are much more consistent imo. And they are still going strong and Danny Bowes still sounds great at age 61.

If you want to check them out, their first four are the strongest imo (Backstreet Symphony, Laughing On Judgement Day, Behind Closed Doors, The Thrill Of It All), with Judgement Day probably the best. From their later career I like The Magnificent Seventh and Wonder Days the best.

PS: sent for round 6

I wish I liked Jellyfish as much as everyone else. They should be right up my alley, but at least the first album didn't do much for me. I think it's mostly his voice and the subject matter of the songs. I just didn't connect with it, apart from I Wanna Stay Home which is amazing.

Man's gonna spin some three hundred albums from this roulette in about two months once it's over, I'm calling it now
That's a bit of an exaggeration. It took me around 7 months to work my way through the artists I was sent in my last roulette. But that did total probably something like 500 albums. So actually not that much of an exaggeration. :lol

That's an insane amount of music to listen to for a sane person.

I dunno, it works out at slightly over two albums a day, which I don't think is a crazy amount. I can listen to music when working (except when I'm in meetings obviously), so I can get through a lot.

Obviously I didn't spend lots of time getting to know most of that music well during that period. That's why I had a good few months of no roulette after that, so that the music I liked from various recent roulettes (and other discoveries of course) I could listen to loads and really get to know better.

Not all, no, but while I'm working on that as a project, it's most of what I listen to (I also check out new releases and some other discoveries too of course).

My problem is that I need to hear something at least three times before I can form a proper opinion on it. :lol
I think for my roulettes I usually listen to everything at least like, 6 or 7 times before the results get posted.

I usually listen to songs 5 times in my roulettes and even then some songs I don't feel I ever form a solid opinion on

Albums are even worse I've had albums that took me like a dozen spins before I realized they were actually super good

Nah she's not really into music. She appreciates it but doesn't really pay much attention to it and doesn't listen very much.

My problem is that I need to hear something at least three times before I can form a proper opinion on it. :lol
I think for my roulettes I usually listen to everything at least like, 6 or 7 times before the results get posted.
For my roulettes I always say absolute minimum 3 listens but in reality I've been consistently manging 4 full listens to everything for my last two roulettes (plus sometimes partial 5th listens to help me with writeups). But then I'm trying to decide on pretty precise scores for these roulettes.

Whereas if I'm checking something out for only my own purposes, it varies. Especially if I've already got to know an artist, I can quite often form at least an initial opinion on some of their albums, especially where I either know I like it a lot or know I'm not so keen. It's those borderline ones (especially the border between 7/10 and 8/10) where I spend more time, as that determines whether I'm likely to get the album and give it further listens later on.

For me ... Roulette submissions always got 3 listens before I would form an opinion, and at least 3 more before I finalized that opinion.  I can only think if a few times were I didn't make it to 3 listens (sorry Puppies - I forget the song, but there was one that I just couldn't put myself through any more misery than 2 listens).

Exploring music on my own - if I'm not wow'd after one listen, rarely does it get a second chance.  There's just too much GREAT music out there to be discovered (let alone the awesome music already in my local and Spotify libraries) to bother investing my time with music that is merely "good" or "enjoyable"

I've processed a lot of music in each of my last two roulettes, and still kept up the pace of a round per week.

I start listening immediately. I don't wait until all submissions are in. One I finish the first listen, I write one sentence off the top of my head about what I just heard.

On the second listen, I start making notes, and on my third listen, I rough out a writeup. I can generally turn most submissions around with only 4 listens, but will have some go for a 5th if they are really close.

Yeah, you just can't save all of the writeups for the very end. It's too overwhelming at that point.


The worst is when I get a submission, and I literally have nothing to say about it. :lol




I'd love to host another roulette, but I haven't been able to come up with a format I'm happy with.

Just as bad is when you can cut and paste a prior writeup for the new song.   I feel almost obligated to put in the time for the people that put in THEIR time to send me stuff, and except in the most egregious cases, I feel personally bad shitting on something that someone else is passionate about. So I feel like I have to find some insight or some angle on the songs even if I don't adopt them as my personal favorites.

Yes, completely - but I feel lucky that my tastes are very broad and open in terms of style and genre, such that I can almost always find something to appreciate even if it doesn't work for me overall. But especially if someone is sending me something they love or otherwise think I'll like, the chances of me actively disliking it are incredibly low, which is reflected in the scores I hand out.

I used to hand out lower scores when I did album roulettes, as whole albums are naturally higher risk that curated sets of songs/hits. But even then I don't think I ever rated anything below a 6/10.

Hangman should be up shortly, just checking something with one of the submissions and then we'll be good to go.

I remember the first time we did something a bit like that way back in 2012 when I co-judged with a mystery second judge for the roulette of champions (all winners up to that point).

Just reading back through the mystery judge roulette of champions and that was a blast. Especially around halfway through, when we got people to PM me with who they thought the judge was, and then in the semi final between RJ and Joe when they kept ending up in a tie and having to have a rematch. :lol

I'd love to host another roulette, but I haven't been able to come up with a format I'm happy with.

I was actually thinking about that over the weekend.  But what?  I didn't come to any good answers.

I really enjoyed the anonymous roulette. I would love to make that part of the gig.
I remember the first time we did something a bit like that way back in 2012 when I co-judged with a mystery second judge for the roulette of champions (all winners up to that point).

https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=34990

Some people may remember it, it was a ton of fun.

I'm pretty sure that's where I introduced you to Von Hertzen Brothers. It was an awesome roulette

I can only think if a few times were I didn't make it to 3 listens (sorry Puppies - I forget the song, but there was one that I just couldn't put myself through any more misery than 2 listens).
That was Cassandra Gemini by The Mars Volta and that was completely understandable because it's a 30 minute song  :lol

Rich, I think you need to invoke some mod powers... it's only fitting that someone have his avatar updated until the end of the round.  I mean, it 'tis the season!

Post by: ariich on November 02, 2021, 04:21:47 PM
Alright my dudes, for the last time this roulette, it's time for some first impressions.

Round 6 first impressions

Epic as hell. [wolfking – Stortregn]
This was a lot of fun. [lonestar – Gacharic Spin]
Not sure what all the fuss is about. [romdrums – Winger]
Seems like a nice mix of influences here. [Nekov – Iluvatar]
These songs are cool in slightly different ways. [Stadler – Paul McCartney/Wings]
I like weird music, but I suspect this will be too weird. [Cyril – The Paper Chase]
Really cool mix of groove and a bit of experimentation. [Elite – Vulfpeck]
Some of this was gorgeous, some was quite surprising. [Sacul – Sufjan Stevens]
Grand and immersive, might be your best of this roulette. [Puppies – Drudkh]
A couple of very enjoyable tunes, but the rest did little for me. [jingle – Mötley Crüe]
Moody and emotive - I definitely like it, but do I like it enough? [Evermind – Antimatter]
Sounded intriguing and kind of bleak, not sure what to think yet. [Buddy – Greet Death]
The music was pretty good, and the vocals added a nice warmth. [HOF – Kip Winger]
Making good use of being able to send music from this millennium. [TAC – Burial In The Sky]
A little middle of the road probably, but salvaged by one great tune. [king – Paul Simon]
The style isn’t anything special really, but the execution is really nice. [Kwyjibo – All About Eve]
This was excellent - quirky, intense and with some great riffs and hooks. [Ruba – Animal Alpha]
Incredibly similar sound to another band I quite like, if a little more serious. [Luke – Propagandhi]

Rainbow in the Rose is a great song.  I'm not a big fan of those 5 tracks though besides that one.  Surrender is alright I guess.

I've always preferred Pull onwards.  That's a great album but the last two also are fantastic.

Yep, the first two Winger albums are fun in their own way with some great moments here and there, but Pull was on another level altogether. Kip’s solo stuff kind of followed that direction and built on it. I’m actually listening to IV now for the first time in a while. Kip always says that album is where he tried to merge his classical composition with rock and it just went over the fans heads, so now he kind of sticks to straight rock with Winger. I don’t think I really got all of IV either, but listening to it now I can definitely envision some of the more complex songs on it as classical compositions. Have always felt there was a strong King Crimson influence on it as well.

I struggled with IV.  It's very spotty, but a few really good songs.  Clover is easily a Winger fav.  I just love the more straight up direction they took for the last 2.  Loved the more metal Karma too a lot when it came out.

IV is just really dense musically and a bit dissonant at places. There are some great rockier moments too but a lot of it does sound strange in a hard rock/metal context. And then some of the ballads are just a little bit oddly slow and not very exciting. But yeah, Four Leaf Clover is incredible (and sounds a lot like Discipline era KC to me). I actually don’t even own Karma because everything I’ve heard just sounds like dumbed down metal to me. I do like Better Days Coming, which is a little more balanced between the straight up rock and more proggy and melodic bits. But for the most part I reach for Pull or Kip’s solo stuff when I’m in a Winger mood.

I think you nailed the issues with IV for me too right there.

A couple of very enjoyable tunes, but the rest did little for me.
Moody and emotive - I definitely like it, but do I like it enough?
Sounded intriguing and kind of bleak, not sure what to think yet.
The music was pretty good, and the vocals added a nice warmth. [HOF – Kip Winger]
Making good use of being able to send music from this millennium.
A little middle of the road probably, but salvaged by one great tune.
The style isn’t anything special really, but the execution is really nice.
This was excellent - quirky, intense and with some great riffs and hooks.
Incredibly similar sound to another band I quite like, if a little more serious.

Very possible. I think the reaction to Gacharic is an extreme one no matter the direction. I'll guess the above and these...

Epic as hell.

I think mine is in here.  Dammit.  I was looking at the submissions and honestly thinking "wow, I'm going to win this", thinking only Simon and Garfunkel is at the level of Paul McCartney.  But looking at those first impressions....  I just hope I don't lose to Winger and Motley Crue.  :) :) : )

I care not to narrow my choices down, since they were all pretty bleak.  It's probably just a matter of whether there were a couple of good tunes, or just one great one.

Not sure that's correct. But maybe it depends on the style? Ruslan's Scorpions submission was all along a sort of power ballad line, and that worked great, and for plenty of bands some of their slower or power ballad type songs are among my favourites.

Post by: ariich on November 04, 2021, 05:34:30 PM
ROUND 6 RESULTS, ranks 18-14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
king – Paul Simon
1. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
2. Kodachrome
3. Late in the Evening
4. You Can Call Me Al
5. 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
6. Slip Slidin’ Away

First impression: A little middle of the road probably, but salvaged by one great tune.

Final opinion: Alright let's start with the good stuff. 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover is such a great song. Like quite a few 70s-90s pop songs, I was previously familiar with the King’s Singers a cappella arrangement. But whereas often their arrangements are gorgeous and even better than the originals, this time the original is far superior. The verses are just really lush and melancholy, and the chorus is so cool and groovy. The rest of the songs are generally fine, nothing wrong with them but nothing particularly interesting to me either. A couple are fairly cutesy, and I might have enjoyed them more, but I don’t think his voice is interesting enough to really make it work.

Round score: 7.9

Ah Joe, what a shame after such a strong start in round 1! But round 2 was a misfire from which you never managed to recover. Still though, I really appreciate how you wanted to keep sending me stuff you listened to in your younger years, and other than the Simple Minds I enjoyed everything else quite a bit, and it’s given me a much better understanding of your musical background. Thanks again for playing and being such a great sport!

Total score: 8.3 + 7.3 + 8.0 + 7.8 + 7.8 + 7.9 = 47.1
18th place


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruba – Animal Alpha
1. Billy Bob Jackson
2. Most Wanted Cowboy
3. My Droogies
4. Fire! Fire! Fire!
5. Waltz

First impression: This was excellent - quirky, intense and with some great riffs and hooks.

Final opinion: Wow, this is awesome stuff. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it, but I loved it right from the start, and further listens have only solidified that opinion. The style is different (more modern and heavy) but what I like about this is similar to what I liked about Jellyfish last round. There’s just so much energy and quirky creativity in the song-writing, and lots of strong punchy hooks over the top that keep it from feeling too out there. The singer is also great, and really makes the whole thing work so well.

Round score: 8.4

It’s been great having you on board for the first time! The Trouble submission was… well, trouble for you. But you saved your best until last and it really was a great finish that helped you avoid last place. But despite your final ranking, most of what you sent me was really good and I’m looking forward to digging into it.

Total score: 7.8 + 8.1 + 7.1 + 8.2 + 7.7 + 8.4 = 47.3
17th place


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Puppies – Drudkh
1. Summoning the Rain
2. Furrows of Gods
3. U Dakhiv Irzhavim Kolossyu…

First impression: Grand and immersive, might be your best of this roulette.

Final opinion: Another case of saving your best until last! I suspect you made the right call going for the atmospheric black metal (you said folky, but I’m not getting that much of a folky vibe in these songs to be honest), particularly as this is very melodic, so it’s definitely up my alley. Although I am interested to hear what the “Pummeling Blackened Math Metal w/ Avant-garde twists” would have sounded like so you should totally send it to me as a post-roulette submission. Anyway this was great, like I said, really melodic and immersive, and a very big sound at times.

Round score: 8.3

You have a tendency in my roulettes to start badly and then quickly make up for it. You didn’t quite manage to do that so much this time - I think the particularly low (relatively speaking) score in round 1 made it hard to catch back up - but you still sent me plenty of top-notch music and quite a lot of variety, for which I am grateful as always!

Total score: 7.2 + 8.1 + 7.7 + 8.2 + 8.0 + 8.3 = 47.5

romdrums – Winger
1. Madalaine
2. Time to Surrender
3. Rainbow in the Rose
4. In the Day We’ll Never See
5. You Are the Saint, I Am the Sinner

First impression: Not sure what all the fuss is about.

Final opinion: My seventh roulette and finally someone sends me Winger! I’ve seen so much Winger banter over the years here at DTF but never thought to check them out. I didn’t have any particular pre-conceptions, although part of me sort of expected some standard cheesy 80s classic rock. As it happens, this is actually really good stuff. Some cheesy elements for sure, but nothing out of the ordinary in that regard, and otherwise this is just some really solid hard rock with some proggy tendencies here and there. Time to Surrender and Rainbow in the Rose in particular are just great tunes.

Round score: 8.1

Your U2 submission was rather unfortunate because, other than that, you had a very solid roulette. Just like my last roulette, you sent me lots of good stuff and some nice surprises. Mr Mister is the one I’m most excited about, but really everything other than U2 I’m keen to dig into.

First impression: This was a lot of fun.

Final opinion: Yeah you got this one right - I imagine for a lot of people this could have been a risky submission, but you probably knew it was going to be a pretty safe bet with me. :lol I’ve similarly been getting into a bit of Japanese metal (including one or two of these all-women bands who seem to have been establishing themselves). These guys take quite a modern approach compared with some, and do a great job of blending some proper metal riffing with electronics and J-pop elements. The only thing I can think that would have made it even better would have been catchier hooks, but otherwise this is just a blast.

Round score: 8.2

You’re one of those people I love having in my roulettes because, even though you don’t tend to be consistent enough to challenge for the title, I never know what you’re going to hit me with and there’s always something exciting and unexpected. Thank you!

Always a pleasure bud...I should mention, though Gachapin (that's what the cool kids call them) has been around for 12 years and though most members are in their late 20s or early 30s, the main lead singer is new, and just turned 19 a few weeks back. She was frikkin 17 when the band hired her and 17/18 when she recorded these tracks. A beast of a talent. Also don't forget about the Nemophila album, more straightforward metal, but I think they got enough potential to break through to a wider audience, and I'll think you'll dig their pure talent since you don't have a hangup about foreign lyrics like some Canadian people I know. ::)

Thanks for letting me have some fun bro. :tup

ROUND 6 RESULTS, ranks 13-10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOF – Kip Winger
1. Kiss of Life
2. Another Way
3. Cross
4. Landslide
5. Resurrection

First impression: The music was pretty good, and the vocals added a nice warmth.

Final opinion: I finally get Winger and then I also get some of Kip’s solo stuff too! I enjoyed rom’s Winger submission, which had a youthful energy to it. But I have to say, this is even better. On these songs at least, he takes a more sincere and emotive approach, and it really works well. I’ve heard him sing on Jordan Rudess’s Rhythm of Time before, and loved his voice on those songs, and I like him a lot here too. From these small samples of songs, I get the impression that his voice and singing style matured somewhat over time. Either way, the singing here, while perhaps not technically anything special, have a lot of feeling and really add a lot of warmth to the songs. The last two, in particular, are really lovely.

Round score: 8.2

You didn’t have the strongest start, but as a newbie to my roulettes that’s not unreasonable. But you seemed to get a better handle on my tastes pretty quickly, and consistently did well after that. Thanks for playing and I hope you’ll join my roulettes again in future!

Total score: 7.4 + 8.0 + 8.3 + 8.0 + 7.9 + 8.2 = 47.8
13th place


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke – Propagandhi
1. Anti-Manifesto
2. Head? Chest? Or Foot?
3. Less Talk, More Rock
4. The Only Good Fascist Is a Very Dead Fascist

First impression: Incredibly similar sound to another band I quite like, if a little more serious.

Final opinion: Back to something that is very squarely in the punk rock genre, and it’s another solid submission. The band they remind me of a little is NOFX. Not nearly as bonkers as them of course, these guys have a slightly more straightforward and serious approach (although of course there is serious stuff underneath the fun surface of NOFX’s music and lyrics too). But something about this style of punk rock - fast and melodic with elements of hardcore in there - that creates a fairly similar sound. Not mind-blowing perhaps, but still some really good stuff.

Round score: 8.0

I’m really glad you joined this roulette again having skipped my last two, as I always know you’ll send me some stuff that nobody else will send, especially when it comes to punky stuff. Thanks for playing and even managing to get things to me on time when you had other crap you needed to deal with!

Total score: 7.9 + 8.3 + 8.1 + 7.7 + 8.2 + 8.0 = 48.2

Elite – Vulfpeck
1. Funky Duck
2. Cory Wong
3. Half of the Way
4. Animal Spirits
5. It Gets Funkier IV
6. Wait for the Moment
7. Outro

First impression: Really cool mix of groove and a bit of experimentation.

Final opinion: Ah I love this, everything about it is pretty great. The jazzy funk side of their music is really tight and groovy and just extremely cool, and they’re obviously very talented players. But I like how they’ve fused that with more straightforward pop, and the way they blend the two is quite creative. They take different approaches in different songs, leading to quite different but always damn fun results. I look forward to digging into their stuff!

Round score: 8.4

Shame about that round 2 submission (and not even all of it, just the half I didn’t like), as otherwise you’ve had a strong roulette and have very much finished on a high. I appreciate how, apart from David Bowie, you wanted to focus on jazzy/funky/fusiony stuff - may not have made you a title contender, but will definitely push me to explore some new (to me) music in those genres which I think is what you were going for!

Total score: 7.9 + 7.5 + 8.1 + 8.2 + 8.2 + 8.4 = 48.3
Joint 10th place


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
jingle – Mötley Crüe
1. Live Wire
2. Looks That Kill
3. Home Sweet Home
4. Wild Side
5. Kickstart My Heart

First impression: A couple of very enjoyable tunes, but the rest did little for me.

Final opinion: Sorry to say but the first three songs just don’t really interest me much at all. I couldn’t say that there’s anything wrong with them as such, they’re decent enough hard rock/glam metal with solid performances. I just don’t really get anything from them. Alone they’d have probably scored in the low 7s, but then the slightly later (I assume) songs are a big improvement. Wild Side is absurdly catchy, and has some really fun riffing to go along with it. Kickstart My Heart isn’t quite such a blast, but it’s also a great hard rock song with some good hooks.

Round score: 7.9

In my past roulettes, you’ve not had much luck with older music, tending to score better with more recent stuff where our tastes overlap. But I’m glad that the format this time allowed you to experiment more with pre-2000s music and find some that really hit the right notes for me! Thanks for some great music, and of course the banter as well.

Glad you dug Winger.  I think their reputation is somewhat unjustified, Seventeen aside. They were solid musicians and more talented than most of the bands that ended up under the hair metal tag.  I actually got to see them perform at a work meeting a few years ago, and even the most cynical and jaded of my co-workers came away impressed with the musicianship they displayed. 

Also, I really hope you enjoy digging in to Mr. Mister! They've been a favorite of mine since I was a kid.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awesome! I’m glad you got to hear the development from Winger to Kip’s solo stuff in one round. Nobody sent you anything from Pull, but that is almost a bridge between early Winger and his solo stuff, and one of the best things to come out of the hair metal scene. By the time it came out in 1993 the writing was already on the wall for Winger and hair metal in general, so it never really got it’s due. After the band split, Kip branched out with his solo stuff and then also started seriously studying classical composition. He’s really a tremendous musician. You get a better sense for his abilities as bass player and guitarist on his solo stuff, and his voice has really developed over time as well.

His most recent work is strictly classical. One piece was nominated for a Grammy and another that’s been choreographed and performed by a major US ballet. In between all that his wife died in a car accident, and Songs from the Ocean Floor is all about Kip’s recovery process from that loss. I mentioned before, it’s one of my favorite albums and definitely worth a full listen when you have the chance. 

Thanks for running a great roulette! Still not sure what happened with The Blue Nile, which ended up sinking me early, but it’s all good. I enjoyed playing along.

Two weaker rounds took you out of contention (and one of those was particularly unfortunate), but damn you performed well for the rest of the roulette, and what a way to finish. I’ve loved having you in my last two roulettes Kade, hope you’ll continue to play in future ones too!

Kwyjibo – All About Eve
1. Flowers In Our Hair
2. Wild Hearted Woman
3. Lady Moonlight
4. Road To Your Soul
5. December

First impression: The style isn’t anything special really, but the execution is really nice.

Final opinion: This was one of the biggest growers of the round. I found it all very pleasant from the start, but on both my first two listens nothing really stood out and I thought it was perhaps just slightly mundane. But on my third listen, Lady Moonlight clicked for me, what a really gorgeous and moody song. And then on the fourth listen, I found myself enjoying Wild Hearted Woman a lot more as well. The other three aren’t as strong, but I’m now finding them all quite enjoyable as well. Who knows, maybe if I just keep listening enough they’ll click as well!

Round score: 8.0

Perhaps not where you’d have liked to finish when you were topping the table at round 2, but still the highest ranked newbie to my roulettes so a damn fine performance. You never quite managed to reach the highs of those first two rounds, but pretty much everything you sent me was great so thank you!

4. the small of your back the nape of your neck (the blizzard)
5. ...And All The Candy You Can Eat
6. All Manner of Pox or Canker
7. Dying With Decent Music

First impression: I like weird music, but I suspect this will be too weird.

Final opinion: This was another grower, but man I just have such mixed feelings about it. :lol I have to be honest, I really struggled quite a lot on my first two listens. A lot of the music is really quite discordant, and even in the bigger and more melodic bits, there is normally something going on that’s slightly off-key or out-of-tune (intentionally) that makes it quite unsettling and hard to get into. But then the weird thing was that on my third listen I did start getting into it, in places anyway. And more so again on the fourth listen. Some of it I still struggle with, but there are places where it just works and creates a really dark and intense energy. I’m not sure how much I’ll like a whole album, but at least I now genuinely want to check one out.

Round score: 7.5

Shame to drop a few places right at the end, but the risk you took with the last submission is a great illustration of what I love about you being in my roulettes - more than probably anyone else, you challenge me with things that I’m not sure I like, but because I have to give it a proper chance I find myself liking it more than I thought. It may not have paid off but I damn well appreciate it.

Sacul – Sufjan Stevens
1. Vesuvius
2. Make Me An Offer I Cannot Refuse
3. Reach Out
4. Olympus
5. Fourth of July - Live

First impression: Some of this was gorgeous, some was quite surprising.

Final opinion: Well now, this was quite surprising. Not so much Reach Out and Olympus, which were more in the standard folk vein of his earlier work that I already knew, although perhaps even more stripped back. They’re lovely songs though, comparable with the better stuff I already knew from him. But then the other three were quite different. It seems after I stopped following him, he went in a more electronic direction with elements of glitch-pop, but with the same sort of melodic approach he takes with his folk music, and it’s a great mix. Both songs are kind of gorgeous really. And then what a song to finish with, it’s a great live recording. The song starts so delicate and emotive, but the way it builds up at the end is masterful.

Round score: 8.5

This was not one of your more consistent performances in my roulettes, but the funny thing is that the highs were so high that you’ve ended up placing higher than ever before. Half the stuff you sent me was excellent (including two of the best of the whole roulette) and the rest was all interesting.

Total score: 7.6 + 7.8 + 8.7 + 8.1 + 7.9 + 8.5 = 48.6

Final opinion: I have to say, this style of shoegaze/slowcore/whatever you want to call it isn’t normally something that grabs me, but I’m liking these songs quite a lot. There is a bleakness that runs throughout them, but quite a richness too and some songs are somewhat upbeat (musically at least, I’ve not really dug properly into the lyrics). That all serves to make quite a unique blend. Unusually for the genre, the production also has quite a full sound. This makes it a more engaging listen in general, and especially on headphones where you can really immerse yourself in it. You’re Gonna Hate What You’ve Done especially is just such a great listen.

Round score: 8.1

That Slayer submission at the start was an error for sure, and ultimately stopped you being able to mount a challenge to retain your title. But by god, you gave it a good go and somehow still made it into the top 5. Thanks for sending me lots of great music and causing my bank account pain once again!

Total score: 7.2 + 8.2 + 8.3 + 8.3 + 8.6 + 8.1 = 48.7
5th place

Lady Moonlight is the song I didn't want to include at first, because it is so stripped down in comparison to the rest. Glad I included it and glad you liked it.

Thanks for having me. It was a lot of fun relistening to all my favorite 80s artists to decide what to sent you.

Title: Re: ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS
Post by: ariich on November 05, 2021, 11:05:43 AM
ROUND 6 RESULTS, ranks 4-1 - WE HAVE A WINNER!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stadler – Paul McCartney/Wings
1. Jet
2. Band On The Run
3. Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey - Medley
4. Junior’s Farm
5. Maybe I’m Amazed

First impression: These songs are cool in slightly different ways.

Final opinion: I mostly ended up enjoying these songs more than I thought I would. Two of the Wings songs, Jet and Junior’s Farm, didn’t stay as interesting as I thought at first - they’re fine, just a little unexciting to me. But the other one, Band On The Run, is fantastic and the best song here. Just has a really great vibe and I love the contrast in tone between the verses and chorus. Of McCartney’s solo songs, Uncle Albert is pretty cute and very Beatles sounding, while Maybe I’m Amazed is great, very heartfelt. I like all the songs, some more than others, but I also like how your submission has such a nice variety to it.

Round score: 8.1

Well, after you came last in my previous roulette and were lounging towards the bottom halfway through this one, I imagine neither of us expected such a high placement. But then you sent me comfortably the best submission of the roulette. And thankfully everything else you’ve sent me ranged from solid to great, meaning you were in a position to be able jump up the table. Really glad that you’ve kept coming back for more punishment each roulette, and that it’s finally paid off with a well deserved high ranking!

Total score: 7.7 + 8.0 + 7.8 + 8.1 + 9.1 + 8.1 = 48.8
4th place


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAC – Burial In The Sky
1. Amaurosis Shroud
2. Wayfarer
3. Anatomy of Us

First impression: Making good use of being able to send music from this millennium.

Final opinion: You said this was for the BTBAM fan in me, and I can sort of see that in terms of its intensity and heaviness. But this is pretty different really, doesn’t have their quirky proggyness and is more squarely in a technical death metal style. It’s still great though - like many good metal bands it brings in a variety of styles and ideas, and balances the heavy with the more atmospheric. The use of saxophone, in particular, is really nicely done. It’s not totally unique within extreme metal, but distinctive enough to add quite an exciting element to something that was already really strong.

Round score: 8.3

You just keep doing better and better in my roulettes. Fourth place this time, and third place this time with not a single score below an 8. I’ve really been enjoying playing in each other’s roulettes and getting to know each other’s tastes better - long may it continue!

Total score: 8.4 + 8.0 + 8.2 + 8.1 + 8.1 + 8.3 = 49.1
3rd place


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nekov – Iluvatar
1. Iluvatar
2. In the Eye
3. Wait for the Call
4. New Found Key

First impression: Seems like a nice mix of influences here.

Final opinion: Ok so it turns out you sent me one of these songs in that mystery judge roulette, back in early 2013. It did ok, but not great. To be honest I don’t remember that at all, but I gather I was going through a phase of having little interest in older sounding music, which indeed went on until fairly recently which was the whole point of this roulette. Happy to say that I like this a lot more now. It’s a little on the dated side, sure, being a 90s band playing in the style of 70s and 80s prog, and it maybe teeters on the edge of derivative at times. But it does draw from a range of different influences, without sounding too much like any one of them, and they do it to really good effect.

Round score: 8.2

Halfway through the roulette, it did look like you might be able to steal the win from Ruslan just like you did way back in my v3 (my first album roulette). But his first two rounds were just that bit better than yours, and he refused to slip up the rest of the time. You always send me some great music, but this time it was incredibly consistent (one of only three people not to score below an 8) so thank you!

Total score: 8.0 + 8.4 + 8.3 + 8.3 + 8.1 + 8.2 = 49.3
2nd place


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evermind – Antimatter
1. Leaving Eden - Live
2. Little Piggy - Live
3. Too Late - Live

First impression: Moody and emotive - I definitely like it, but do I like it enough?

Final opinion: You took a risk sending a band I’ve only ever rated fairly low before, but once again you’ve pulled it off. Admittedly I’d only previously heard one album from them and that was ages ago, but regardless, this acoustic live set your submission comes from sounds excellent. Leaving Eden especially is very melancholy and moving, just a gorgeous song and performance. The other two don’t hit me in the feels quite as much, but they’re still really good and I just love the overall sound. The singer’s voice is very warm, and the way strings are used really accentuates the rest of the music.

Round score: 8.2

You finally did it! :D Having been cruelly denied in both my v3 (higher average score than Diego but lost because of my, admittedly unnecessarily convoluted, scoring system) and then my v6 (tied with Buddy and had the win stolen through prisoners’ dilemma), there was every chance something like that could have happened again. But your consistency in my roulettes has become ridiculous - that’s now two full roulettes with no score below an 8 - and combined with a couple of particularly strong rounds, that made it too difficult to catch you this time. Congrats, well done and most of all thank you!

Total score: 8.6 + 8.1 + 8.2 + 8.3 + 8.2 + 8.2 = 49.6
1st place!

Congrats Ev!

Glad you enjoyed those Sufjan songs, his electronic work is intricate yet so emotionally moving. And yes, that live rendition is brilliant, well the whole concert is. I recommend listening to the studio version first though, and a warning - it's very intimate as it deals with his mother's death, so it's not an easy listen, but a very rewarding one anyway.

Thanks for having me! It was fun, and I'm very glad you enjoyed some of my favorite artists, old and new. I'm not very consistent with roulettes, but if I can get at least one high score, then I've done with job well.

Funny thing is, my pockets are still hella loaded with solid fogey submissions... Kind of surprised everyone left old school Aerosmith on the shelf, they had some top teir songs before getting sober and jumping the shark.
I'd like to think that this roulette has given everyone (including myself) a slightly better idea of what interests me when it comes to pre-90s music, so that knowledge can be used in future roulettes!


I demand a review from an independent committee on the possible influence of putin and the kgb on these results!
Stop denying the will of the people!


I mean I'm gonna sound cocky but this win was long damn overdue. :lol
That's not cocky, it's just accurate. After you had a strong start I was rooting for you to hold on, but I wasn't going to cheat in your favour so I was genuinely worried at one point that someone would pip you right at the end yet again. :lol

Yeah the ones from God Bless Your Black Heart are probably the ones I'm least bothered by. Tracks 3-6 in your submission all have something about them that's really intriguing and were the ones that ended up growing on me, so I'll probably give those two albums a few listens.

Thanks Bill, really delighted that you (and others who have commented) enjoyed it so much. While I run the roulettes mainly for my own music discovery, it's also really important to me that the players have fun.

EDIT: Oh and yeah I do have a handful of things people sent me or told me to listen to post-roulette, so I will post reviews of those.
