Lethean's Laid Back Roulette (Final round results!!!)

[Evermind]

But you guessed the best song in jingle's roulette...

Wait, I thought I guessed Katatonia there.

Hey, you agree it's the best song. He guessed who sent it after it was revealed.

I actually don't remember anything about Old Heart Falls. My favourites from that are Decima and Residual.

[Lethean]

Residual is my favorite too.   

[Lethean]

But I think Residual is more of a grower.

[jingle.boy]

But you guessed the best song in jingle's roulette...

Pretty sure I'll decide who guessed the best song.

Elite sent Oceans of Slumber
Puppies sent Ocoai
Sacul sent O'Brother

Forgive me
Forgive me for my wooooooooooooooords

*sick guitar solo plays in the background*

But I think Residual is more of a grower.

I think it clicked with me on my fourth or fifth listen? Outstanding song.

Sacul is already on the list, but you're correct on the others, and it only leaves Train for O'Brother

[Lethean]

1.   jingle.boy:  Echoes - Rude Awakening
2.  Puppies:  Ocoai - Breatherman
3.   Sacul:   Converge - Phoenix in Flight
4.   Kattelox:  Aquaria - Here Comes the Life
5.   Evermind:  Steam Powered Giraffe - Brass Goggles
6.  Train:  O'Brother - Deconstruct
7.   Parama:  Bent Knee -   Being Human
8.   Stadler:  Jane's Addiction - Three Days
9.   TAC:  Iris Divine - In the Wake of Martyrs
10. Elite:   Oceans of Slumber - A Path to Broken Stars

[Lethean]

Yep.  Now I'm second guessing myself.

[Lethean]

So now that the list is revealed, I just want to apologize in advance to whoever gets a 7, 8, 9, or whatever you consider too low for your song.  This is going to be really tough to rank and this round is killer.  Right now there are 4 songs that say "I'm #1" each time I listen to them.

Also, Stadler - since you don't know any of these songs either, but they're so good, why don't you listen to them too? It'll be fun.  You can let me know if you agree with my rankings and what yours would be (besides your own of course).

[Crow]

if i'd sent oceans of slumber i'd definitely have picked winter, but then i'd have gotten last place for the bit of harsh vocals that one has 

i love how you specified "7, 8, 9" as if 10 was already set in stone though 

[Sacul]

i love how you specified "7, 8, 9" as if 10 was already set in stone though 

I'll claim that 10

[Crow]

honestly? yeah, probably 

[Train of Naught]

Hate to say it cause I love Converge (especially that album) but yeah

honestly? yeah, probably 

[Lethean]

Parama, you're not claiming the 10 for yourself this time? Interesting...

[Crow]

nah the song i sent is like a universally beloved song on DTF tbh

feel free to break the trend just to spite me though that sounds like fun 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

There's definitely a lot of good songs on that playlist.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone else here ever listened to Ocoai? I don't think I've heard mention of them here before...

[Lethean]

You mean even Stadler likes it?

[Crow]

stadler doesn't like anything released after the year 1990 he doesn't count

[Lethean]

I'd never heard of them before; actually I've only heard of half the bands on the playlist, and one is only because of Firewings.

[Lethean]

Just so you know, if you don't send me one particular band, I'm going to not listen to them on purpose...

I listened to 3 discographies of bands you love and you won't give them one album? Shenanigans. You owe me!  Okay, fine. But I am going to crush you under the weight of all the cheese. 20 minute submission is imminent. 

So... your unfortunate last post in the Angra thread reminded me... you *don't* have to submit this one particular band to get me to listen to them after all.  You just have to listen to Aqua, and I don't mean "try" to listen to it; listen to it with headphones while you are doing nothing else, and open your mind to the possibility that you could be wrong about it... and as part of our deal, I'll listen to a (not double) Rhapsody album.  Of course, if you don't wanna do that, you can get around it by submitting a song here....

[The Walrus]

I will have to sacrifice that opportunity then. You know why? 'cause Aqua sucks. I do not like what they do on that album. Bleh.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Aqua is the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to Angra... 

[Lethean]

Well, I'm not going to give a 10 to spite *you*...

That would be an apt comparison.

[Crow]

i don't think i've ever listened to angra but they're in the prog/power metal vein right? which would explain why i haven't

Thank you for actually posting the exact song I thought about upon reading 'Aqua is bottom of the barrel'

Yup, I also knew exactly what it was before I clicked the link.

Definitely banned.  Damn, that song got a way too much pop-radio air-time when it was released.  Still gets airtime on the stations that are 80s and 90s themed.

[The Walrus]

I like Barbie Girl. No shame. Come on jingle let's go mingle

Yes.  Progressive/power metal is probably the most accurate description, although I've heard the band members call it "progressive metal" and that's what I call them too.  They also include a lot of influences from Brazilian music, which I think helps to give them a different flavor than most.  And, they're pretty much at the very top as far as metal musicianship goes, imo.  Probably too "happy" for you would be my guess, but you never know right?  I generally don't like harsh vocals, but there are a few albums with them that I do like.

I like Pearl Jam.
