Evermind's Third Roulette v. Final Round Results

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Well, that was quick.

Sent 50 minutes of music.    So many songs I could have chosen but went with a lot of classics and a couple of later obscurities to finish it off.  Even I'm impressed with how quick I got that done. 

Sounds like Tim's sex life.

Damn computer but the /b inside the quote bracket.  So yes... I'll take the quotefail idol for the moment.

Is the idol in any way similar to the anal beads immunity idol by any chance?

Anyway guys, everyone is in. This is going to be the most massive round of the roulette, I think the shortest playlist is 39 minutes, with the longest being over 49 minutes, and a few more floating at the 48 minutes mark. So overall we're looking at about 5+ hours of music. Therefore, this round will take me a little longer to do, but my plan for this is simple:

First, I take time to listen twice to all of your compilations. In the meanwhile, we're going to do a multi-part hangman for the songs. Second, I start to focus on one match-up at a time, devoting most of my listening time to two match-up compilations for a few days. Third, I write and post results for that match-up, and then focus on another one.

There is a lot of variety in what I've got, and I've only listened to four compilations so far. Overall, we're looking at 64 songs, with the shortest compilation sitting at 5 songs, and the longest at 10.

The hangman is coming in a few minutes as I decide how to separate the songs in a few batches.

[Evermind]

Okay guys, before we start guessing I would kindly ask you to avoid using Google this time around—mostly because some of the song names will surely lead you onto the band that was sent, and then it's easy. A lot of the bands submitted—more than half, really—are quite known on DTF in certain circles. So try and guess the band without Googling first, and if that doesn't work and you're frustrated, then perhaps do it.

Also the songs in each part were chosen mostly at random, but then out of the choices I arranged them to resemble concept albums purely by titles. 

Let's go!

Updated!

I'll go with a standard waiting time of 3 for now, although if the amount of people participating won't be big enough, I'll cut it to 1 or 2 I guess.

Okay well that's impressive as hell and also correct

[Crow]

Hmm, interesting 
Shot in the dark, TAC?
I have no clue TBH but it doesn't sound like what puppies said he sent

[Luoto]

Gimme the K

Okay well that's impressive as hell and also correct

I've checked out that album so I knew they had a song titled that

Nope, not TAC unfortunately

I've checked out that album so I knew they had a song titled that

Yeah, still impressive though! Definitely didn't expect someone to figure one of the bands after only three letters, that's pretty amazing to be honest.

Only two K's though, here you go:

Better guess now if you can cause I plan to go to sleep in a few minutes after my three hours of sleep last night.

edit: Alright, I'm off.

[Luoto]

Arrival. Cult of Luna?

[jingle.boy]

King for a Day.  Let's see... Primal Fear, Powerworld, and Royal Hunt are banned; Now or Never tanked earlier.  So, I'm at a loss as to the band.

I didn't search Google, but I did search Spotify.  Methinks it's Katt.  Wait... maybe not.

There's one band I can think of who aren't banned, and they're a lot more popular than any of those.

One of these days, Chad!

Yeah, but I'm a Canadian idiot.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I'll take an M

[TAC]

R

[Crow]

Fine, I'll take the D since nobody else wants it

[Evermind]

Arrival and King for a Day are correct, not Cult of Luna though.

R is already guessed.

You sure it isn't Animations or Arena? 

[Crow]

you said you went with the technical, but varied band
arena is banned
nobody ever has heard of animations except you apparently

You got me there.

Animations does have 4 albums, but I'd only ever send songs from the first 2 and that would be breaking the rules of the round.... They are actually a very similar band to The Human Abstract.

[Evermind]

The Human Abstract is even named like Native Construct!

Welcome Home

[Evermind]

Ah yes, the Metallica cover

[LordCost]

I know a song called Aurora by Foo Fighters and another one by italian singer Eros Ramazzotti. Has someone sent Foo Fighters?

[Evermind]

No, not Foo Fighters. In fact I don't know which band has this Aurora song. Probably it's from one of the three compilations I haven't listened yet.
