Very close round for everyone. I had to really nitpick to see what songs would get placed where. Everyone easily could have gotten 1st or 2nd place. Don't feel bad.
Top Pick: Space InvaderBand: Dredg
Song Name: Long Days and Vague Clues
What a fun song. Took me on a trip and does so much under 2 minutes. Its progressiveness really threw me for a loop in a good way. This was instrumental goodness. Seems like Dredg is a band I need to check out! Great pick!
Second Place: ZanteraBand: Katatonia
Song Name: Omerta
This flowed like a beautiful river. The vocals are really great. Abrupt ending is so trippy, because it just ends, but I really liked it haha. You said this song is unlike the rest of their stuff..what is the rest of their stuff like? I want more!
Next Three:(+6 pts.)

contest_sanityBand: Grammatrain
Song Name: Jonah
I got a Tool vibe a little bit in the chorus, and I liked it! Song is driving and energetic, pretty much a sort of song I was looking for, because the time feels like it has been enough to give the song all the room to develop. Great song.
-
RavenheartBand: VAST
Song Name: Lost
Love the feel of this song. Excellent! It got going at a perfect time, and it was very peaceful but not boring. Not much else to say but I really liked it!
-
ariichBand: Green Day
Song Name: Hitchin' a Ride
Green Day are very hit or miss for me. This is a fun song and utilizes the less than 180 seconds very well. I think it's just the genre that they are that makes me not like it as much as you may like it, because that whole style never really gets my attention much. But for the genre, this was probably one of the best I've heard.
Next 3 (+5 pts.)

QuadrochosisBand: Mew
Song Name: Her Voice is Beyond Her Years
I loved this. Even so, I think I don't fully get it, and yet I do. I know, that's weird. Ranking this song is tough! on one hand, it is really good...on the other hand, I'm not sure what's on the other hand, but something is holding me back about the song. Is this normal for getting into Mew?! This will be explored further.

Marvellous GBand/Artist: Jeff Buckley
Song Name: Corpus Christi Carol
Nice little tune. Really evokes emotions out of you. Guitar is so very nice. The vocals are raw and passionate, but they fit the music very well. That said, it's not music I would go out of my way to listen to, but yet it is music I would listen to if it was on...yeah
-
YtsebitsyspiderBand: Tim Donahue (featuring JLB)
Song Name: Let Go
Organ intros for the win! I felt like LaBrie was a nice touch, but the song itself was a little...underdeveloped? I liked it, don't get me wrong. Just, it sounds like it could be the intro to a great epic.
Last:(+4 pts.)
kariBand: Amatorski
Song Name: Come Home
I am in the 50's for sure. I like it. The bass works so well here, it carries the song so nicely. I could see myself dancing with a girl to the end of the song, very magical. I wanna hear the rest of the EP. With that said, only ranked down because it obviously isn't my favorite style, but you sent a very good pick.
OH AND PLEASE DON'T AVENGE THIS PLACING BY PLACING ME LAST IN YOUR ROULETTE OH MAN
