Implode's Song Roulette 2!

The last roulette had 8 contestants with 8 rounds, so this time there will be 10 contestants with 10 rounds! That's 100 songs. Holy crap, I'm regretting this already.

Contestants:
- bl5150
- Scorpion
- senecadawg2
- Shadow Ninja 2.0
- GentlemanofDread
- adace
- wolfking
- Lucien
- kingshmegland
- Sintheros

For the rounds, there will be themes, many old and some new! Here are the titles, though the specific rules will be revealed as the rounds happen:

1. Short and Sweet
2. Lovably Light
3. Hella Heavy
4. Incredible Instrumental
5. Before My Time
6. Really Recent
7. Round of Second Chances
8. Anything and Everything

EXTRA STAGE:

9. Take a Risk

ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE:

10. ???????????

Rules

The general rules are simple. When I post a prompt for a round, submit a song that fits the prompt via PM. Try to be swift with the submissions; I'd like to be able to rate all the songs with a day or two. As for rating, I'll use a very simple 1-5 scale, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. The rating will equate to the amount of points you get for that round. The contestant with the most points at the end wins!

Go ahead and use the previous roulette to look at what was submitted and won last time, but I'd like to change what I said about my tastes in that first post. I still consider myself open, even more open than then. I'll listen to anything, but a few things that haven't worked for me in the past are growling vocals, and...that's about it. I suppose I'll say that I don't enjoy modern country that much, but that usually goes without saying nowadays. I'll listen to pop, prog, metal, jazz, electronic, classical, soundtracks, you name it! However, obviously my favorite genre is progressive rock. I prefer the prog side to prog metal more than the metal. My top bands should give an idea what I like most. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Finally getting around to having the time to do this, I haven't figured out the exact schedule yet, but I should probably get started on getting people interested in participating in my next roulette.

How accurate and up-to-date is your Last.fm? 'Cause according to that, the last time you listened to any kind of music was in 2013.

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 04, 2014, 03:55:21 PM »

Homestuck as the number one artist.

wolfking · « **Reply #9 on:** May 04, 2014, 04:03:38 PM »

I forgot that I suppose I should put a cap on the number of people who will participate. I'll say now 10 at the most. Right now we have 7.

That means that Foobar hasn't been scobbling. I'll fix that. It's pretty up to date though. The only album I got from 2014 is Kaleidoscope by Transatlantic.

I'll join.

Awesome. Last.fm friend request sent, btw.

Oh, before I forget, what's your position on growls and screams?

Implode · « **Reply #13 on:** May 04, 2014, 05:20:27 PM »

Generally am not a huge fan, but there are always exceptions. I won't disallow them, but if you choose to submit a song with them, be wary that they might affect my rating of the song.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2014, 05:20:36 PM »

I'll play of you'll have me.

Just don't bail in the middle of this one, k?

I'm gonna sit this one out. I've been in too many lately, and find that my listening has been kind of restricted to 'what should I submit'. I got a lot of backlog of albums (see MY roulette) to keep working through.

Following of course though.

Looks like you got your ten. Is there going to be a theme for the first round, or can I go ahead and send?

Implode · « **Reply #19 on:** May 05, 2014, 02:31:21 PM »

I'll make a post explaining the format and themes some time tonight! Thanks to everyone that agreed to participate.

Lucien · « **Reply #20 on:** May 05, 2014, 03:14:19 PM »

It appears as though our tastes are rather similar.

How's about you wrap yours up first?

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 05, 2014, 06:08:46 PM »

Oh hehe, okay

I've been listening a lot and should have the final results posted by tomorrow. This round has just been a lot slower, with the longer song lengths.

Implode · « **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2014, 09:43:48 PM »

I think this conversation just crossed into the wrong thread....

Anyway, here are the rules and such as promised.

Introducing...

However, obviously my favorite genre is progressive rock. I prefer the prog side to prog metal more than the metal. My top bands should give an idea what I like most. Also, I definitely tend to listen to the whole tonal, chordal, rhythm, musical part of songs more than I pay attention to lyrics. Picking a song completely based on its lyrics probably isn't a good idea for me. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Now it's time to start the first round.

-Round 1-
Short and Sweet
Submit a song less than 4 minutes in length!

This should hopefully help ease me into listening to all the submissions. Good luck everyone and have fun!
