Ozric for me isn't that electronic. I agree with the interpretation though. I listen to it for the guitar work. I love it.

Anyways. Glad you enjoyed.
I'll dig around for a song tonight.
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

Happy Lives to you all.

After going through 23929432905907 crazy ideas in my head, most of them insane (I even thought of things like Morbid Angel - Destructos vs. The Earth :lol), I finally decided for something which is probably risky (for certain reasons) but makes by far the most sense of them all.

The problem was that it was far more complicated than that for me:
1) It has to be happy (and with my music taste this is actually a big problem :P)
2) I want something more ambitious than just a simple poppy song
3) It has to be a band which isn't "mainstream" (as in "everyone knows them") and also isn't on his list
4) It's more or less representative of the band and not something that's completely unusual for them
5) There were three bands that may have had something to offer for this round, but I deliberately wanted to not use them for now

Getting through #1 was difficult enough, but then there was always something from #2-5 that was an issue. I'm not 100% satisfied with my final choice (it's a really cool song but... I think there could be something better), but this was really far harder than it seemed. I'm just not the right person to ask for happy music. :P

Edit: wtf grammar

I still don't see why a song sounding "poppy" is such a crime.

Argh. It's not. Actually you could argue that what I sent is "poppy" to a certain extent. What I meant is I wanted a song that will somehow stand out and not be something that seems like I'm desperately trying to fit the theme.

What with the definition of "pop music" being able to vary so much from person to person, I'd find it interesting to see your take on the term.

Nobody said roulettes were easy. It takes a seasoned musical veteran to be able to handle the extreme pressures of the competition. Maybe you should just let the adults play this one

Agreed.  One of the advantages of being an old fogie is that even though a round might not play to my musicial preferences - this round for instance as I rarely look for music that is happy - I've been exposed to enough stuff over the years that I effortlessly was able to identify several songs I could potentially send.  Unfortunately fogies like YBS and I aren't the cool kids and our opinions are largely ignored by the community here.

And as we all know, you have to be of a certain age before you can be exposed to enough music to call your tastes "diverse."

My tastes are are not super diverse and I have freely admitted that for years.  Don't twist my words and put words in my mouth, just comprehend what I actually say.  I said that I've had exposure to more music.  It would be nice if people just read what is written instead of reading what they want someone to say (I'm not picking on you Ravenheart, lots of people have this problem here).

You must be kidding me.

I've been reading this forum for quite a while (longer than I am registered), and I have never, ever seen a single case when anyone's opinion was ignored or mocked or whatever because of their age (older or younger), and I can't imagine why anyone who's sane would ever take that into account on a music board, especially a fairly specialised one like this. And if something, the only times when I've seen such things happen, it was always because of young age (stereotypes about teenagers' taste in music and all that). I honestly do not know where are you getting this from.

Also, no offence but I do find it annoying if you feel the overwhelming need to underline regularly that you're "an old fogie". I don't think I've seen that happen in your case but sorry, this does not make me like you more or appreciate your experience more. I have a HUGE respect for people who are older than average here (since I think most members here are something around 18-25) and combine their love for older bands with love of new music, and there are many such people on this board. But if you intentionally create a kind of "age gap" then sorry, but this is not going to result in any positive consequences, especially if it's meant to show your superiority. And especially that I don't see your age as "old" as all, you make it look old yourself. I just see it as much more experienced than mine but far from old.

And commenting on my hard choice this round, it doesn't have much to do with age either, I just have unusual listening habits which results in me knowing not so many bands (but I know most of them in great detail :P). And this round was surprisingly difficult because at the same time I'm much more into dark/melancholic music and also a lot of music that counts as happy from what I listened to is already known to Nekov which limited by possibilities even further.

Any chance for results (and new theme, hopefully easier for me than this one) tonight?

This is DTF; people are civil to some extent.  They wouldn't have wanted to hurt you, emotionally.

Being a sort of lightning rod here, I get that sort of stuff rather often (not nearly as much as, say, a couple months back); I know from experience, though, that the guys aren't malicious at all.

Round 3

Zxlkho

The Radio Dept. – Heaven’s on Fire: This song is really happy and has a really nice groove. The keyboards and piano are clearly the highlights in the song. Even though it’s a bit repetitive it managed to keep me interested. And the ending is better than the rest of the song which is an improvement with you.

DTVT

Ben Folds Five – Song for the dumped: On the first listen I enjoyed it but then I just found it to be a fairly standard song. Nothing stands out to me.

Dethklok09

Foster the People – Helena Beat: It seems that you and I have a very different musical taste. Nothing in this song appeals to me.

Cup

Chicago – Introduction: More jazz from you. In this case I’m ok with it because it’s upbeat. I enjoyed this song though not much and it didn’t get me smiling.

Obscure

The Eagles – Those Shoes: Great rock song. The guitar takes all over this song. Good rhythms and good vocal melody. Unfortunately it failed to make me smile.

Ytse

Soilwork – Stabbing the Drama: This song is metal as fuck, but not the kind of metal that I like. The singer killed any chance of me smiling while listening to this song. The keyboards are the only thing that got me to enjoy this a little bit.

Liberation

Pain of salvation – Conditioned: This is a fun song to listen to. The first guitar riff got me into it immediately. This is one of those songs I’m not sure I can describe why I liked but I did. And it made me smile though it took a couple of listens.

Ravenheart

Anathema – Everything: This is such a beautiful song. The two voices combine perfectly. I love everything about this song. And it got me smiling easily.

Zander - 7
Ytse - 2
Cup - 4
Obscure - 4
Zxlkho - 4
DTVT - 2
Liberation - 5
Dethklok09 - 1




Round 4: For this round send me something that has no lyrics and contains an instrument out of the ordinary for rock (guitar, drums, bass, piano). The song can have a vocal melody as long as there are no words.

YEEEESSSS!!! :D I was very uncertain if you'd like it, but I'm very happy :) I also find it a very fun song and while not my favourite on the album, it's just very enjoyable.

Very interesting theme. I need to think a bit, I'll definitely come up with something.

Well, that's also the problem. They would have probably been my #1 choice for round 3, but... :lol Btw, have you heard Pain of Salvation before? That was the thing I was worried about the most, if they're not on the list of bands you like, there's a fair chance you simply don't like them...

I think I have two ideas already. Will probably send soon.
