Boris - Naki Kyoku

Ravenheart · « **Reply #176 on:** August 09, 2011, 09:44:56 AM »

Depeche Mode - Black Celebration

El Barto · « **Reply #177 on:** August 09, 2011, 10:28:14 AM »

How Many More Times

Probably the hardest pick thus far. There were five or so Zeppelin songs that could easily make the list any given day. This particular day it was HMMT.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #178 on:** August 09, 2011, 07:42:57 PM »

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen. Got to have a sing-a-long song.

Riceball · « **Reply #179 on:** August 09, 2011, 07:44:23 PM »

Pink Floyd - Money.

Went for modern stuff for the first four, gotta throw an oldy in there.

BTBAM - Sun Of Nothing

Ħ · « **Reply #181 on:** August 09, 2011, 11:59:10 PM »

Blackfield - 1,000 People

It's getting really tough to find songs that both DTF and I like.

Pearl Jam - Daughter

Iarwain · « **Reply #183 on:** August 10, 2011, 07:34:41 AM »

Emilie Simon - Vu d'ici

Sarah Fimm - Great Wide Open

Took a listen. Not bad! A lot calmer than I expected. Very nice pick.

Not close to my favourite Zep song, but really nearly every Zep song is incredible.

I'm a bit weird when it comes to Zeppelin. 85% of their music is the most annoying and despicable music I can name; absolutely hate it. The remaining 15% is consistently among the finest music ever created. There really isn't any middle ground for me. As I said earlier, I'm approaching this from the desert island standpoint, and HMMT pretty much covers everything that makes Zeppelin's good music awesome. I might prefer listening to No Quarter or Achilles, but they're not all that encompassing. HMMT runs the gamut.

Continuing with the desert island approach, my next pick is Symphony No. 7 (Beethoven). I figure I'll only devote one slot to classical, and while there are a couple of others that I enjoy listening to more, there isn't anything that would captivate me as much. I think I could listen to this once a day and never fully grasp every thing that's going on. The man was really monumental badass.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's a song I sent you during your roulette (and I won the round btw). I really hesitated between this song and Epidemic for my 4th pick.

Good choice

ALL ABOOOOOAAAARRD HAHAHAHAHAHA

Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne

73109 · « **Reply #189 on:** August 10, 2011, 02:13:07 PM »

Badass

Riceball · « **Reply #190 on:** August 10, 2011, 04:00:26 PM »

Muse - Knights of Cydonia

Nic35 · « **Reply #191 on:** August 10, 2011, 04:23:09 PM »

Gojira - The Art Of Dying

73109 · « **Reply #192 on:** August 10, 2011, 05:09:49 PM »

Awesome

Ħ · « **Reply #193 on:** August 10, 2011, 05:14:08 PM »

Nightwish - Ghost Love Score

Riceball · « **Reply #194 on:** August 10, 2011, 06:02:50 PM »

I swear, if someone picks my next pick, I call shenanigans.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #195 on:** August 10, 2011, 06:04:02 PM »

Dude, we're all waiting to pull the trump card of Never Gonna Give You Up. Calm yourself.

Riceball · « **Reply #196 on:** August 10, 2011, 06:24:36 PM »

I was actually going to go with classic Black.......but you've sold me.

Haha, I love all their stuff

My favourite is Achilles though, followed by Stairway and Kashmir.

I liked them better when they were called Sepultura.

Funny thing. I can honestly say that I haven't heard more than 60 seconds of Stairway in over 20 years. If it comes on the radio I'll turn it off, and if I can't I'll leave. True story, I actually precipitated a fight with a girl I was actively fucking at the time because I stopped and turned the radio off.

At this point, I don't even hold my grudge against it anymore. It's now just a matter of principle.

Cat Stevens - Where do the Children Play

Nic35 · « **Reply #200 on:** August 10, 2011, 08:56:31 PM »

Just for fun guys, check everyone's list and predict who you think will win. Just before the last round.

I think Ħ has a fair chance to win, though DTVT has a pretty clever list too.

Iarwain · « **Reply #201 on:** August 10, 2011, 08:58:30 PM »

Agalloch - The Hawthorne Passage

Jarlaxle · « **Reply #202 on:** August 10, 2011, 08:59:23 PM »

I think this draft would be even better if more songs were to be drafted by each person. 12 or more, that way there can be some really oddball songs get tossed around.

Yeah, I'd be great to add two more songs to make it a 10 songs list.

Ħ · « **Reply #204 on:** August 10, 2011, 09:05:26 PM »

DTVT, Nic35, and El Barto, and I have lists that really represent DTF. The other lists are great but too obscure for people to vote for.

I think it'll be close between us four.

Riceball · « **Reply #205 on:** August 10, 2011, 09:18:55 PM »

I don't think my list is that obscure...? I mean, everyone has heard/heard of the bands I've put up so far I'm sure.

Nic35 · « **Reply #206 on:** August 10, 2011, 09:20:25 PM »

It's not obscure, but not everybody's cup of tea. But hey, that's what tastes are all about. Diversity.

Jarlaxle · « **Reply #207 on:** August 10, 2011, 09:21:07 PM »

I haven't heard of a lot of the bands in this draft, so I look forward to giving them all a good listen before voting.

Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people will do the same.
