Sacul's controversial roulette v2. UNNECESSARY EPILOGUE

[425]

Alright, I'll guess I'm prepared to give it a go to see if I can get you to like something!

[sneakyblueberry]

I'll read thru the rules v. soon but just rsvp'ing a resounding yes to your sexy request

EDIT:  at first I was like '10 rounds, 5 of which have to be from your goddamned list?' but then I was overwhelmed by the sheer nerdy overkill of said list.  Quite a few of the entries are favourites of mine, and some I know like the back of my hand...  I think I'll have some fun with this. 

[Train of Naught]

Crap, you invited seneca? For a second I thought I had a chance of winning.

[Fluffy Lothario]

I'm just reading your "taste manifesto".

I'm 100% with you on '80s production, revolting, and a massive hindrance. It's like everyone forgot how to make music sound good for 10-12 years. Even without it though, the '80s are mostly a write-off of a decade - you can listen to albums from 1978 and 1979 and not only were only shite bands appearing, but you can hear the zeitgeist transforming all the good ones from the '70s into shit too. And that situation holds like a spell until about 1989.

BUT with all that said - if there's anything to take away from the decade, it's pop. Coming from someone who is really not fussed on the 80s, or pop very much, the '80s were basically the golden age of pop.

[sneakyblueberry]

80s pop does it for me in a big way.

[Elite]

Can I have a go?

[Fluffy Lothario]

80s pop does it for me in a big way.

Sneaky, as ever a venerable herb of some sort.

[home]

Could I join?  I listened to most of your top 50 albums list 

[mikemangioy]

Erm... If I'm not too late I might join 

[Evermind]

I would've never joined this roulette if not for an unfortunate fact I won the previous installment of this madness. Our tastes are so not a match these days it's ridiculous.

Anyway, I'm in, if only to try and defend my crown!

I have five songs I'll send, but they're pretty obscure and I doubt anyone will cockblock me on those, so I'm going to send five songs from your list first. I don't think it'll go well though - even though you have albums like Rainbow - Rising on your list, I can't imagine you'll like any of those six songs.

Also, if I'm dead last after those five rounds I'm going to send you loads of cheesy metal instead of the good songs I've prepared.

Mike, I think you were in invited persons list so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

[senecadawg2]

Crap, you invited seneca? For a second I thought I had a chance of winning.

I've not won so many, recently.

[mikemangioy]

Mike, I think you were in invited persons list so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Yup, rushed through the thread because I thought there wasn't more space.

[Sacul]

Can I have a go?

Only if you promise to send song in time

Could I join?  I listened to most of your top 50 albums list 

Sure!

BUT with all that said - if there's anything to take away from the decade, it's pop. Coming from someone who is really not fussed on the 80s, or pop very much, the '80s were basically the golden age of pop.

Well, I guess it depends on the artist, but I would be very careful when going with 80s pop - I once had an intership for two months at a lab, 3 daily hours, where they had this radio playing mostly 80s pop hits. Gosh, no. Those are among the very few things I actually hate with passion 

even though you have albums like Rainbow - Rising on your list, I can't imagine you'll like any of those six songs.

If anything, I think Stargazer is an excellent track, and would rate it like 4/5 or so. But of course it's banned 

[Evermind]

What, you don't think the lyrics are cheesy?

[Crow]

home should only be allowed to send songs named "home"

there's like hundreds of them so he should be good

[senecadawg2]

Erm, I'm uh, not on the participant list 

[Tomislav95]

Should I play? I have shit to study for college in weeks to come.
...
Screw it, count me in

EDIT: Seneca ninja'd me for few minutes

[Crow]

btw since when have you been a greenie, sacul

[Evermind]

I'll take a shot in the dark and say since he donated some money in that recent donation contest.

[Sacul]

What, you don't think the lyrics are cheesy?

I don't care about lyrics in general, so unless you send me something completely awful lyric-wise, it shouldn't affect the score. Plus, Stargazer rocks 

Erm, I'm uh, not on the participant list 

SORRY MY LORD, I'VE ALREADY FIXED THAT.

btw since when have you been a greenie, sacul

a what

[Sacul]

I'll take a shot in the dark and say since he donated some money in that recent donation contest.

Yup, asked bosky if he could give me the status soon since I needed the inbox space with this roulette

Sorry, my bad 


Well, we're already enough folks! Roulette doesn't officially start until I finish my top 50 (which should be in a few days), but you can start sending if you may

[Crow]

I'll take a shot in the dark and say since he donated some money in that recent donation contest.

oh, that'd do it 

[splent]

I still haven't had time to read your list at all but I will within next 24-48 hrs

[Sacul]

Well, this hasn't even started and I've already got 5 entries! Loving how different they all are. No pressure by now, so take your time to get into my tastes and choose your tunes

[splent]

Ok I've at least skimmed the list a bit... This is going to be interesting. I'm going to send you some of my favorites and hope that you like. I'm going to try to stick with the list at least at first. Now, what to send first.... Idk what direction to go lol.

[Sacul]

What about some power metal

[Elite]

Can I have a go?

Only if you promise to send song in time

Done!

[Tyrias]

Sorry for answering so late, I had guests over and no time to read through that list. I just skimmed the first half, and I'm pretty certain I'll find something to send.

Who knows, maybe I won't lose by not even half a point this time .

[splent]

Sent

[Train of Naught]

10 rounds and 15 participants, I shouldn't have sent such a short song, I have just the perfect 10:30 song for you in round 2

[senecadawg2]

Imma try to send later

[Evermind]

Sorry for answering so late, I had guests over and no time to read through that list. I just skimmed the first half, and I'm pretty certain I'll find something to send.

Who knows, maybe I won't lose by not even half a point this time .

Oh right, it was you who I competed against in the finals! I've sent Telegraph Road by Dire Straits and you sent something by dredg. I actually remember that now. You can have your revenge now... or not.

(don't let this discourage you from giving me a perfect score in the Championship roulette)

Anyway, I'll send something in a few days, probably Friday when I don't have to worry about work. Is that alright?

[Crow]

i'm technically playing in like 5 roulettes right now though tom's is basically done and train's is close behind so 

[splent]

I actually have a shot of winning Tom's unless Seneca decides to submit better songs than me 

[Sacul]

Anyway, I'll send something in a few days, probably Friday when I don't have to worry about work. Is that alright?

Yeah, no problem. The roulette will officially start  around Thursday/Friday, or whenever I finish my top 50 list, so take your time
