OK, so, yeah. I'm doing a Roulette.
Pretty simple, really. And I'm gonna keep it simple so that I can keep it manageable in the time I have available for listening/reacting/scoring.
Rules will be simple:
The following individuals are invited to participate if you like (no pressure!)

1. I like progressive rock and progressive and power metal. It may seem "close minded" but that's what I'm interested in exploring. Examples of bands I really like: Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Spock's Beard (both versions), Transatlantic, The Flower Kings, Symphony X, Andromeda, Avantasia, Ayreon, Savatage, Beyond The Bridge, Threshold, Serenity. Dislikes: Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, heavy music with a lot of growling. Minimal growling (think: Watershed-era Opeth) is OK, but if I'm being 100% honest I prefer no growls, sorry.
2. There are 8 people listed above, I think a nice round number like 10 would be good. I picked the 7 above because I seem to have similar tastes to them from what I've seen posted here, plus, well, obscure
We'll do a total of 5 rounds. 3. I will PM the folks above to verify participation. If you're in, you can just send me a song for round 1 - submissions for round 1 will be closed on FRIDAY, MAY 3, 2013, unless they come in sooner.
4. Youtube links are OK, Grooveshark is OK, but since I do the majority of my listening in my car, the preferred format is MP3 if possible. You can email me songs at my GMAIL address which is, astonishingly,
kirksnosehair@gmail.com 5. If a couple of people beyond those listed above would like to get in, go ahead and PM me. Please don't be offended if I don't pick you to participate. I will select people based on WHEN their PM arrived to be fair.
6. Songs will be scored on a 10 point system with 10 being best, 1 being worst.
7. If you send me a song I already know I will ask you to kindly resubmit.
8. A list of about 80% of what I own in terms of music can be
downloaded here.I think that's about it. Did I miss anything? I know, I know, fucking rookies
