BrotherH's Song Roulette -- FINAL ROUND RESULTS!!!!!
« on: January 28, 2011, 01:01:40 PM »
Rules (modeled after orcus's original thread with a few edits):

•10 rounds.
•Only one song suggestion per round. It would be helpful to PM a youtube or myspace or grooveshark link to the song.  Also, a brief description of why you chose the song.
•One song per artist...for all posters.  That means, if someone else gave me a band in a previous round, then you can't use that band.  Only exceptions: if I get the same band in the same round, or if the previous submission got a 1 or 2.
•No using songs from my favorite artists.  I've listed them below to let you know.
•Up to 5 possible points per round.
•Some rounds will have certain requirements/themes while others will be free-for-alls.
•At the end of Round 7, only the top three participants will continue.  At the end of Round 9, only the top two participants will continue.

I'll let one more person in, cause 9 is an awkward number.

Question, do you like any classic rock that you have heard...and what about metal. It is just hard to judge because PF is the most not classic, classic rock band ever, and Opeth is the most un metal, metal band ever.

edit: Before people flip, I don't mean that in a bad way. I just mean neither of the two bands are stereotypical.

I don't want to send you any songs you already know.  Any chance you are on last fm, or some other site with a more thorough list of artists/songs that you know?

As you can see by the bands I've listed, I'm really into prog metal/ prog rock.  Basically the counter-counter-culture in prog rock's case, and the counter-counter-counter culture in the prog metal case.

For another classic rock band, I like Queen.  To be honest, I'm don't delve into metal or rock unless it's prog...call me a snob, it's true.   :lol  I think it's just the variety of different textures within a single song.  I am not good at appreciating music on a simpler level...complexity is good for me.  So as far as blunt metal or rock goes, usually it is a miss for me.

I also like jazz, such as Gordon Goodwin, or Peter White.  I also like modern classical orchestration that write for movies and trailers.

I get a lot of pleasure out of quirky, weird, counter-culture music.  I really like a lot of the bands that Sigz has posted in his top 50 albums, and those are quite quirky to my inexperienced ears.  So you can use some of those as templates.

Antigoon, don't worry, I am gonna stay on top of it...the deadline for round 1 is longer, but I'm thinking I'll keep it to 2 days/round after that.

dtismajesty, unfortunately I don't have last fm.  If you steer away from those bands I listed, it should be fine.  Like Marc said in a different thread, I am a listener that gets really involved in a few bands rather than being more diverse.  So, odds are I won't have heard anything you send me.

Ok, I will simply steer clear from prog then to make sure.  I'm not very knowledgeable with prog anyways, so expect a lot of folk and post-rock  :tup

Is it OK to send live versions of songs? With guest musicians, etc... or must it be studio version?

Oh man I'm looking forward to this roulette. Since Marvelous G doesn't dig the heavy stuff, your roulette and James' will let me break out my hidden stash of prog.

Should be in by tomorrow night at the latest.

It isn't just that. I am just not into the whole "artsy" music thing. The layer on layer on layer, multi dimensional stuff. I think music loses its point if you fuck with it too much, however, I do know some songs and music with little intricacies that make them special if that might help me along. I shall see, and I probably won't feel that bad if I fail miserably.

Also I edited in a new rule:

One song per artist...for all posters.  That means, if someone else gave me a band in a previous round, then you can't use that band.  Only exception is if I get the same band within the same round.

One more thing, and Cole (I have permission to call you on a first name basis, right?) reminded me with his submission.  Along with the song, and a link, give me a sentence to a paragraph of why you chose the song.

Yep, I'm Cole. It beats failboy. Or Mr. Fail. Or Little Miss Failure. Numbers works too. Whatever you prefer.

I have one trick up my sleeve already. A prog song from a band that is completely un prog. Can't wait to pull that one out. Maybe in a round or two.

I see your stash of prog and raise you MY stash.

Also, Marvelous G has shown he wouldn't know good music if was played for him.   :lol

Also, you might want to amend the rules to no resending of artists that do well.  If someone sends you a song by an artist, and you don't like it, and someone thinks they can change your mind; you should give them that chance.

Ok...if a song gets into the Average or Bad category, than the band can be reused.  But if it gets Great or Good, it's out.

Yeah every two days is really quick so that'd be no worries.

The standard is usually 6 rounds or so, but people who are quick do more, and some of us do some kind of playoff at the end.
