Tim, you've probably said before, but what is it exactly that makes you dislike them so much?  Plenty of songs that could be sent, but the answer to this question could narrow things down.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Tim felt betrayed when Kip did that "Hunk Of The Month" pic - that's all you need to know Kade.

I have said it, but I'll discuss it again when it's time.

I have never heard a lick after the first album, so I hope that narrows it down a bit. ;D

Yup, I lost my favorite pair of red nut holders around 1988. :lol
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

If he ran off with your nut holders then maybe it meant more to him than you think  ;)

That's interesting about nothing after the first album - I tend to write off bands like that myself (only so much time) but on a couple of occasions I have been surprised to see how said written off band developed.  Imagine if you wrote off DT after WDADU and missed the best album ever.   Winger's 2nd album might be I&W Mach 2 for all you know  :lol I think it's clearly their worst.

:rollin

So anyway here's an update:

I will do my write ups when I get home from work Friday afternoon and will post then. Then the You Know What Round will officially be on.
I am reluctantly  ;D requesting the final three submissions by that time.

The Round 4 Open Round has been by far the weakest. I'm expecting MUCH better for the next open round. And I hope no one feels too restricted by the Live Round. It's essentially open, so if a band not on my iPod has a live album, go with it!

We're still waiting for Tim to point to the place where Kip touched him.

Guess we set the bar too high with rounds 1-3?

Looking forward to seeing your impressions, and whether anything grew on you.

As for breaking the internet, it could be from the shockwaves of you actually enjoying a Winger song... or seven.

Mayhap because this was our chance to take a chance... and some/most of us failed miserably.

Won't it be shocking if the Winger round is better than the Open round?

Well, no wonder you couldn't even remember what you received in your roulette 2 years ago!!!    :biggrin:

I shouldn't laugh too hard - the only reason I remember what I sent (in any roulette), is because I have a tracker spreadsheet.

OK, here are the Round 4 results. I think you guys really set the bar quite high in the first three rounds. At one point this week, I pulled out the Round 1 CD for a listen, so that tells you how I felt. I think some of you will be  :omg: at your scores, and I appreciate you guys sending me some of your favorites, but if you strayed too far from my comfort zone, it may not have worked.

Anyway..here it is:

Round 4

jjrock88 – Queen City Kids – Girls

This is a quirky little song. Its chorus is fairly catchy but it’s repeated too often. Has a nice hook. But I think there’s a reason this band is obscure. I’m sure you’ve been listening to this song a long time and have lots of good times attached to it, but honestly, I’m not sure if I heard this in 1982 that I would pay it any attention. Should've sent Blondie!

7.0

senecadawg2 – Ayreon-Isolation

Aryeon is one of those bands that I see thrown around here quite  a bit. I’m glad someone sent me one of their tracks. But I was expecting to be blown away, but I just wasn’t. I liked the instrumental part quite a bit. Pretty Pink Floyd-ish to me. Sometimes too many voices get in the way for me. It did get better on subsequent listens but I found myself trying too hard to get into it. Love James though. It’d be awesome to see him on an Avantasia album.

7.5

Lonestar – Silent Memorial – The Darkest Hour

This is a band that I’ve checked on in the past and are on The List. This tune grew a lot over the course of the week. I really started to get the subtleties in this. I am definitely interested in this album. If this is the best song on the album, I might be disappointed, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

8.0

Kingshmegland – Teramaze – Transhumanist

Read Lonestar’s write up!

8.0

b5150 – Crystal Eyes – Shadow Rider

On first listen this was the track of the round. In fact, I left it alone for most of the round as I was trying to digest everything else. Classic Maiden inspired metal here. The dual guitars are eerily similar to Maiden, and the nod to Bruce’s Darkside Of Aquarius right before the solo was obvious. Definitely right in my wheelhouse.

8.5

Jingle.boy – Flaming Row – Unearth The Truth

Well, I know how much you love this song, so you might want to stop reading here. First, this is a beautifully done song. Very deep and captivating. But it only seemed to work if I sat down and simply tried to lose myself in it.  I feel like I need to hear more around it, but as a stand alone song, this isn’t something I’d go back to. Again, I felt like I was trying to hard to like it. I’d be interested to hear something a bit heavier from this album and would certainly follow up any recs you may have.

7.5

Big Hath – Epysode –Obsessions

Read Kingshmegland’s write up!

8.0

Wolfking – Borealis – Revelation

This is the kind of song that is very easy on the ears. Heavy, Catchy, melodic. It grew on me and eventually caught Brent’s song. I looked forward to it when it came on and will look for this album. While it did score well here, I thought it was a pretty safe track from you Wolfie.

8.5

Evermind – The Answer – Raise A Little Hell

Oh Evermind, this just didn’t work with me. I have a hard time with mid tempo plodding rockers unless there is something spectacular going with it, like a great vocal. But this song plods along and doesn’t really do anything else. I did think the harmonica/guitar solo was cool, but that was really about it.

7.0

Updated Standings:

Senecadawg2-35.0
Kingshmegland-35.0
Wolfking-35.0
b5150-34.5
Lonestar-34.0
Jingle.boy-34.0
Big Hath-33.5
Evermind-33.5
jjrock88-32.5

Only 2.5 points separate first and last place.

That's because only 1.5 points is the difference between "right in my wheel-house" and "just didn't work for me".  :biggrin:

The highlight of the album is the 24 minute ass whoopingof a ttitle track, Retrospective. Have at it man..
