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.
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
). 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?
Nope. Probably Sunday night.
