Will be sending after I get home from work...unless I decide to take an extended break which is very likely.

99% of my collection is .aac format. Will that be ok, or do you need me to convert them?

As long as it can play in Winamp it should be fine.

I said it in the email as well, but just in case...don't reply to my emails. Send me a PM if you need me to resend or something. I only use that account for sending and receiving large files.

Should have results tomorrow afternoon

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2011, 08:33:57 AM »

Except that the forum will potentially be down.

Genowyn · « **Reply #14 on:** September 09, 2011, 08:49:24 AM »

Alright everypony time for results:

8 Points
Kingshmegland: I Mother Earth - God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas)

This was a pretty good song. I really like the mood it set. I'd heard one song rom this band before, I think I saw a music video of theirs when I was a teenager, and I remember liking it. This song was particularly good though.

7 Points
UMH: Polkadot Cadaver - Pure Bedlam for Half Breeds

This song is definitely strange but cool. I know these guys are the same as Dog Fashion Disco (or something), and I liked the song that DFD did with Serj Tankian. Pretty cool tune.

6 Points
DTVT: Evergrey - Recreation Day

Pretty cool song. I liked the solo. Not much else to say.

5 Points
PC: Blind Guardian - Ride Into Obsession

I've tried to get into BG before but never really had much success. Power Metal has never really been my thing. This song is pretty good compared to the other stuff I've checked out from them, though.

4 Points
LLTWM: Psychotic Waltz - And the Devil Cried

Pretty good song. Not a huge fan of the old school production, but I could tell the music was quite good.

3 Points
Cup: Birth Control - Gamma Ray

A feel like I should be taking acid before listening to this.

2 Points
Nic35: Karmakanic - Two Blocks From the Edge

Pretty good song. Had kind of a Pink Floyd vibe to it which I thought was pretty cool. I wasn't hot on the singer though, something about his voice sort of bothered me

1 Point
Nekov: Pagan's Mind - God's Equation

Song is pretty much standard prog metal. Has some pretty cool bits, but overall it's not really anything special. Not a bad song by any means.

As you can probably tell I kinda suck at talking about music.

Standings:

8 - kingshmegland
7 - Ultimetalhead
6 - DTVT
5 - Perpetual Change
4 - LieLowTheWantedMan
3 - Cup
2 - Nic35
1 - Nekov

Next round will be: Something fun. That doesn't necessarily mean poppy. Pop is fun, but Pantera is also fun. Do with that what you will. If people send me submissions via email when the site goes down I will try to have the results up once we're back online

Nekov · « **Reply #15 on:** September 09, 2011, 10:53:30 AM »

Talk about starting with the left foot $:-\$ . Just sent the next one.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #16 on:** September 09, 2011, 10:59:30 AM »

Glad you liked my submission!

Just send the next one.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #17 on:** September 09, 2011, 12:09:59 PM »

7 points? Bitchin.

So, I guess Dog Fashion Disco is off-limits then?

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #18 on:** September 09, 2011, 04:06:49 PM »

Sent!

King Postwhore · « **Reply #19 on:** September 09, 2011, 04:13:43 PM »

Waiting on UMH and a resub from Nic.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #25 on:** September 10, 2011, 10:45:46 PM »

You didn't answer my question, dilhole.

I'll send something anyway. All these roulettes I'm in and I'm falling behind.

LLTWM: The Dear Hunter - Smiling Swine

This song was awesome. Musically interesting and very fun to listen to. I've been meaning to check out The Dear Hunter for a while, and this song definitely impressed me.

7 Points
DTVT: Ben Folds Five - Song for the Dumped

This song was pretty fun and the lyrics were quite entertaining. Loved the jazzy feel of it. Very nice.p

6 Points
Nic35: Fair to Midland - Musical Chairs

I know a lot of people around here really dig this band and I can see why. This song is a great listen, though I'm not sure if I would call it 'fun'...

5 Points
PC: Savatage - Strange Wings

Starts out awesome, rocking out. Very fun song. The eighties style definitely works in its favour in that regard. I think it loses a bit of steam later on but overall it was a good listen.

4 Points
kingshmegland: Ben Folds Five - Battle of Who Could Care Less

Two songs from the same band?! Oh well. This certainly fits the requirement of fun! I definitely like the jazzy feel to it. Good stuff.

3 Points
Nekov: Electrocution250 - Dr. Fluffels

This song was pretty fun to listen to, had me moving around in my seat. Musically not really my style, but it was a very fun listen and that's what I asked for.

2 Points
Ultimetalhead: Primus - Tragedy's A' Comin'

I've heard Primus before but not really enough to know them. As expected the song is quite funky. Overall a pretty nifty tune but it didn't blow me away.

1 Points
Cup: Gamma Ray - Tribute to the Past

Hmm...Musically it was okay, but I didn't really get a 'fun' aspect from it.

13 - DTVT
12 - kingshmegland
12 - LieLowTheWantedMan
10 - Perpetual Change
9 - Ultimetalhead
8 - Nic35
4 - Cup
4 - Nekov

Time for round 3: This time I'm looking for something with a female vocalist...or if you don't have that, something with a focus on vocals. Have at it

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #28 on:** September 11, 2011, 10:01:35 AM »

Cool, my first time scoring highest. Glad you liked.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #29 on:** September 11, 2011, 11:47:29 AM »

Mason you bugger!! I picked the same band and from the same album!! You know me too well.

Glad you liked them Genowyn.

Thinking of a new song to send.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #30 on:** September 11, 2011, 02:01:01 PM »

I was originally going to send "Your Redneck Past" because it has that fun drum measure trade-off in the chorus, but I decided to go less subtle. I also thought about sending a Fair to Midland song or a Dear Hunter. They're pretty awesome, check them out.

I'll have a song sent today. About 5 bands came to mind immediately that weren't super-obvious so I need to listen to them myself.

Also lol at cup for sending Gamma Ray two rounds in a row. Third time's a charm I think...do it again.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #31 on:** September 11, 2011, 05:06:52 PM »

The first Gamma Ray is a song by Birth Control. The second send was the band Gamma Ray.

I guess that just is an incredible coincidence then. You're off the hook Cup.
