Let's break this round down:  By limiting it to female fronted songs anywhere between 80-90% of anyone's catalog is eliminated.  That still leaves some options, except...

Most of those remaining songs/bands are already banned because he has them.  That leaves me to select from the following categories:

Bands I like, but I know Evermind won't.  That's a waste.
Bands that I have because I own a lot of albums, but I don't think too much of.  Factory of Dreams?  I think not.
Female artists I don't have but I'm aware of.  Heart - sure.  Hole - lol.
A band I like a good bit, but it would be a complete dick move to send because I'm pretty sure the number of copies of the album doesn't exceed 100, and I don't think it's on any listening service.  If anyone guesses this one, you will win two internets.

I'll probably go with the last one.  But I still mind send Courtney Love.

The first Hole album is excellent and I even considered them for this round.

Someone actually asked me about sending Courtney Love.

I know at least two bands that I could see being sent in this round. We'll see.

Reported - sexist post.   :D

You don't listen to enough chick vocalists.  I had a dozen or I was choosing from, and another dozen or so (which I actually submitted) that I could've gone to if I wanted to go old-school.

Lol Factory of Dreams - despite Magi doing a guest spot with them... even she couldn't save that shit-show.

So I just checked, and, uh, you are one of the two who haven't sent.

I agree, it Hole rhymed with lol, so I went with it.

Just need Casper to send his song and we're good to go.

So far the 2 rounds where I thought I was taking a bit of a risk have been a total failure.  Let's see if I can make it 3/3.  ;D

Well the host's feedback on my song description......................."disturbing"  :rollin

Six more people are probably going to share this sentiment after this round.

Not for me! ;D

And while I do think EEAS is very good, I have to admit that I have never been a fan of Vai's sound. Even at the time. He's a great showman and the tour was amazing, but his sound just sounds so unnatural. Almost technologically generated.

Sorry for the late reply! Had a deadline yesterday and a concert (Van Canto and Grailknights).

Anyways, nooooooooooo. Dammnit Ruslan, visiting DTF was supposed to be a little moment of joy after finding out the latest Batman film (and that other guy, I guess) is a big. steaming. pile. of bat feces  :sadpanda: :( :'( Thats it, I am sending you Kittie!

But yeah, I know this artist is quite divise, too bad you didn't enjoy it. I absolutely love it myself, but I think you should definitely stay clear from the album. I guess my overall mistake is/was relying on my own tastes too much, rather than considering your favourite songs/albums a bit better beforehand to determine the overlap more specifically. That, and maybe practicing singing Rihanna songs for a few weeks ruined me. In fact, maybe that's just it  :lol (disclaimer: not my choice, the girls wanted to sing those!).

I will send my song tonight, let's see if I can go out with honor  ;D (or maybe it will be the worst round ever, with my song as the sole redeeming factor, which I somehow doubt  :P)

Evermind

Well, sorry about that. But yeah, this song just didn't do it for me at all. Looking forward to your probably last song!

Now that I've got everyone, here's the first blurred picture! Let's see if you can make out anything. Don't use Google or Spotify if you can, otherwise some of these are a little easy.

Bolsters

Floor Jansen and some Orchestra doing Final Fantasy? I'll have to Google that one, sounds interesting.

Edit: and it's Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles...love that soundtrack. :metal
Bolsters™

Train of Naught

Kay, not using the spotifies this time.

The 10th: Caligula's Box? Is that a thing? Maybe Pandora's Box, it's definitely someone's box though.

First: Tori Amos - Wither? I don't know her songs except for the one I got in my roulette but I've seen her name around here numerous times.

11th: Floor ... and the ... I think at the end of the title it says (Final Fantasy cover) or something EDIT: Ninja'd on that one

6th: Drowning Serens?

I tried.

Bolsters

Looks like Drowning in Serenity to me. No idea on the artist though.

Beautiful Sin - This Is Not The original Dream

Who got you into them?  I was expecting Chad to send that.

Just remember seeing the cd randoming in store around the time of release.  Saw the sticker on the front pimping Uli Kusch and Jorn Viggo so was a blind instant purchase because of that.

Nice - they were up there in my calcs too , but decided to go for something a bit different.

I love Magali's voice.

She's one of the only female voices I really enjoy as much as male vox, might be my fav female vocalist.  Just never took to female vox all that much.

Trillium was my other option, dunno if they are in there, but Amanda is great too. 

bl5150

She does a nice version of Tears of the Dragon if you haven't heard it.

No I haven't.  Could imagine it would be killer indeed.

You know Ida Haukland (one of the female's on Fantasmagoria)?  Triosphere lead singer/bassist?  She's right up there as a "metal" female voice.  If you don't know them, no peaking.

BTW, I see mine and RJ's there - but that's all.

Had a brain fart...but I remembered that it's Fanticide.

Second one looks like it might be Seven Kingdoms - After The Fall?

Well, mine only consists of 9 letters, of which 4 are pretty visible, should be do-able? Admittedly, I don't expect anyone to know this band, bandcamp is one hell of a drug.

Well I was mostly referring to Floor Jansen entry. Still, four songs have been guessed already and ToN was close with Tori Amos song name too.

Yup, and I realized I sent the wrong song.  :lol

Oh well, it's a good one too.

Wait,  what, Floor Jansen and Final Fantasy? How have I never heard of that?! (I even listen to FF soundtracks of entries I have never played).

Second one is mine, I have no idea if they are well known to the degree these bands are well known.

Edit: Bolsters guessed it!
