Sent. You may have heard it before, but it wasn't on your last.fm.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #71 on:** May 15, 2011, 04:51:08 PM »

I'll likely change my song then... and yes it was a serious submission!

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #72 on:** May 16, 2011, 08:53:05 PM »

I sent my song, and I'm pretty confident you will love it!

Nic35 · « **Reply #73 on:** May 18, 2011, 11:07:25 AM »

I'll send my song later today.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #74 on:** May 18, 2011, 11:14:00 AM »

Crap, sorry, didn't see the new round was up! I'll send something post haste.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #75 on:** May 18, 2011, 12:43:05 PM »

Sent! The band is huge maybe, but possibly the most obscure of the bands I know before 1985.

Still waiting on Nic and sonatata... and Gorille (if his pick wasn't serious).
Great picks so far!

Gorille85 · « **Reply #77 on:** May 25, 2011, 10:11:38 AM »

Yeah I'll change it tonight though it was a serious pick.

Hurry the fuck up, you cunts.
All the roulette just started didn't they?

Late reply but I was talking to all the people who hadn't sent in their songs

kári · « **Reply #83 on:** June 03, 2011, 07:04:01 AM »

Received all the songs now, results will be up tomorrow probably.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #84 on:** June 03, 2011, 04:50:28 PM »

Woohoo!

kári · « **Reply #85 on:** June 05, 2011, 06:19:53 AM »

Sorry guys, might be a few more days at most, because I haven't gotten the time/opportunity to give the songs the attention they deserve. I'm studying for my exams now and normally I would listen to them late at night before I go to sleep on my iPod. Unfortunately, I lost my earphones so I think I've heard all of them casually about a time or two but haven't really "digested" them yet.

My apologies!

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #86 on:** June 06, 2011, 07:50:49 AM »

No worries mang

kári · « **Reply #87 on:** June 08, 2011, 02:15:18 AM »

Results tonight! (10-12 hours from this post)

kári · « **Reply #88 on:** June 08, 2011, 11:28:58 AM »

Soo, finally I can get the results up... Sorry it took so long guys!
I have to say, overall, this was the best round yet! Great job everyone.

First place: Quadrochosis: One Of These Things First by Nick Drake
I had vaguely heard of Nick Drake a few times, but I never bothered to check it out... But what a lovely track! I love his voice, and I love the seemingly-static but ever changing guitar theme... It’s amazing! I’m really excited to check out more of his stuff! 13 points

Second place: TheVoxyn: She’s Always A Woman by Billy Joel
Well, I’d never listened to any Billy Joel before, and it was a very pleasant experience. I love how how the piano and the guitar flow into eachother. Of course he’s got a lovely voice as well. Great pick! 12 points

Third place:
ClairvoyantCat: Come Down In Time by Elton John
I have to admit, most of the times I find strings very forced in ballads like these, but like you said they were very subtle here, very well used. The lyrics are lovely indeed. Just a lovely track overall. 11 points

dethklok09: Вечер by Пикник
Ok, this was so weird. Really, at anyone reading this, listen to this song now here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-xDE7TlkOk. Very unusual, which is good. But I guess the gap is a little too big. The song is great, really great, but I just can’t imagine me listening to this often right now, because the russian singing is just too strange. However, I am still really impressed. I love every part of the song. I have no idea whether you listen to this often or not, but I’m certainly going to listen more to this, hopefully I’ll get over the russian singing. But, great track, seriously. 11 points

Jamesman: Question by The Moody Blues
Great pick! I love the ‘70s feel of this song, especially the middle part! Definitely the sound I was expecting from songs of this round, can’t really say much more... Great track! 11 points

Sixth place:
Marvellous G: Blade Runner Blues by Vangelis
I must say, this was not the kind of music I’d expect to get, but I love it! Such a calm and soothing track, and the synth and the xylophones have got this really ‘80s sound. Such atmospheric music is not for everyone, but I can certainly enjoy it! 10 points

Nic35: Travel Tunes by Dixie Dregs
I have to admit I had very mixed feelings about this song at first. The intro is really great.. By intro I mean the first two seconds. After that it gets just a tad too “proggy” for me.. But at 2:30 the song changes, and from then on it’s one amazing solo! I really really really loved it! I’ve come to terms with the other part of the song, it’s OK now, I can dig it I guess, but I feel like when I’m listening I’m waiting for the “rock” part... Which is why it “only” ended up here. 10 points

Eighth place:
sonatafanica: Are You Real by Art Blakey
I really didn’t expect anyone to send me any jazz. I’m pretty unfamiliar with the genre, so it was kind of a new experience to consciously listen to a track like this one. It wasn’t bad at all, I liked it, but I just.. Have to get used to it more I guess. When I first listened what stood out post were the drum lines... So it was a nice surprise to find out that Art Blakey was the drummer! 8 points

zxlkho: Fallen Angel by King Crimson
I’m not a big fan of classic prog either, but this didn’t strike me as classic rock per se. I’ve heard of the band of course, and I know they are a big name though. But, this song kind of isn’t my style. There’s nothing wrong with it, I don’t know. I guess it’s the atmosphere. I’m kind of indifferent about it. Can’t say what’s bad, but not what’s good either. 8 points

Tenth place: Gorille85: Jibber And Twitch by Cardiacs
This song is crazy... Just a little too crazy for me, I didn’t really dig it. Again, there’s nothing I could specifically point out that I don’t really like... It just didn’t do anything for me. Better luck next round! 7 points

Extra points:
sonatafanica: 1958 =+4
Quadrochosis: 1970 = +2
Jamesman: 1970 = +2
zxlho: 1974 = +2
TheVoxyn: 1977 = +1
Nic35: 1978 = +1

Scoreboard:
Quadrochosis - 8 + 11 + 13 + 2= 34
TheVoxyn - 8 + 13 + 12 + 1 = 34
Jamesman - 10 + 10 + 11 + 2 = 33
sonatafanica - 9 + 12 + 8 + 4= 33
Marvellous G - 11 + 8 + 10 = 29
zxlkho - 12 + 7 + 8 + 2 = 29
ClairvoyantCat - 6 + 11 + 11 = 28
Gorille - 7 + 13 + 7 = 27
Nic35 - 6 + 9 + 10 + 1 = 26
dethklok09 - 4 + 9 + 11 = 24

Round 4: Open
Also, feel free to send me ideas for future rounds! Good luck everyone!

Marvellous G · « **Reply #93 on:** June 08, 2011, 04:27:46 PM »

Glad you enjoyed it, just sent my next pick which might be risky considering the band's reputation, but is amazing imo.
