Splent's Controversial Roulette v.1.0.11 - R10 RESULTS!! FINAL ROUND COMMENCING

[Sacul]

I should start cockblocking people... Will definitely do so in the next round

H

[Crow]

i sure hope nobody cockblocks my paramacore

[Sacul]

Maybe I should send some random oceansize and East of the Wall tracks

[Crow]

i mean, i already sent east of the wall in the roulette championships and wasn't really planning to send oceansize, so go ahead

[425]

Round 3: Oceansize - That One That Starts Quiet and Gets Loud and Parama Really Likes It But I Meh'd It

[Crow]

oceansize is too dtf-popular to send at this point

...not that casualties of cool isn't, but i mean people talk about it less than standard devin stuff despite it being his best so

[425]

You're talking about Oceansize being too DTF popular to the person who just sent Nightwish and Iron Maiden in the opening two rounds of the roulette. Does not compute.

[Crow]

yeah but i mean i tend to like introducing people to bands they'd likely not hear from most other members of the forums.
for example planned round 3 is like a quintessential parama band

[425]

I do have to hand it to you, you commit to that and really stick to it even when it doesn't necessarily work out for you.

[Crow]

this is why i'm last place in most roulettes
btw caligula's horse gets to be a parama band because i was listening to them in 2011 and most of y'all didn't find them until 2015 so i'm like a hipster fan tyvm

Methinks I have nothing to worry about.   

I suck at this.

Except, I got one. 

Kamelot - Abandoned.  Great song, on a 5* album, that's for sure.

[Bolsters]

How did I not spot Kamelot.

I give up.

[King Postwhore]

Nobody will get my song. Giggity.

[jingle.boy]

How did I not spot Kamelot.

I give up.

Well, I didn't get it until I sorted my library by song title, looking for anything "Aba"

Like I said before, these aren't bands I've never heard of, I just haven't listened to them very much or at all, especially since my daughter was born.

[jingle.boy]

especially since my daughter was born.

I was the same way... from the time I got married to the time when jingle.kids became a little self-sufficient ('99-'05) I did virtually no musical discovery.  Hell, I even lost track of DT for a few years.

Since then, I've been a maniac.

I was the same when I did mine. I wish I could see the look on people's faces after I admitted to never having heard Shine On You Crazy Diamond

I kind of lost track of DT a bit myself during the 6 D's/TOT years. My kids were babies then.

Yep. I have to admit, I less familiar with Mangini era DT than the rest. I've only been able to listen to the Astonishing once.

And that's completely fair. I don't have any responsibilities that are nearly as big as children, and I still have bands like that. I was just pointing out that it's amusing how Parama was telling me that a band that is slightly popular here is way too popular for him to send, when I've sent only bands that are very popular here so far.

[Tomislav95]

I think it actually takes courage to send something as popular as Iron Maiden. There is always chance host doesn't have it on banned list because he hate it for some reason and it would be damn hard to choose only one song from their huge discograph. But great choice with When the Wild Wind Blows best off TFF

[Scorpion]

I disagree, I think Isle of Avalon is easily the best on TFF.

WtWWB is really really good too, though.

[Tomislav95]

To be honest, I'm not big fan of TTF but I'll revisit it before survivor.

[425]

I disagree, I think Starblind is the best on TFF.

Actually, I think that Isle of Avalon, Starblind and WtWWB are almost indistinguishable from each other in quality at the top of that album. The Talisman and The Man Who Would Be King are just a smidge below.

[TAC]

I think The Talisman is the best them. 

[425]

Hard to make a case against The Talisman. Also, can we note how on a roll Janick is? He wrote Dream of Mirrors, Dance of Death, The Legacy, The Talisman and The Book of Souls—among the best songs on five consecutive albums.

[Train of Naught]

The Talisman is my favorite by quite a margin. And Mother of Mercy is my least favorite by quite a margin, that chorus

Yesterday being Mother's Day in the US, I did not focus on the roulette very much. So here you go.

I'm going to try to get writeups done by Wednesday. However, Saturday I did not get a listen in like I had planned, due to me having my wife's car, and her car is older and doesn't have an aux input (she had a radio player, but it broke a few weeks ago) so I had no way of playing music. Sunday as I said was Mother's Day, so I got very little listening in. I've only gotten through one listen total, and started my second listen on the way to work this morning. I'll have some tidbits tonight. Overall though, you guys sent me an even stronger round of songs this time through. There's some REALLY good stuff here.

If you guys are mad about the speed of this roulette, remember: a) these first 4 rounds have 16 songs, give me some time; as the roulette progresses and people are eliminated there will be fewer songs to listen to so it shouldn't take so long to get listens in and writeups out to you. And even then, b) round 4 shouldn't take very long at all.

[Evermind]

Nah, I think the pace is good.

Also, M.
