jingle.boy's Top 50 - Roulette songs ... My final obsession

[Stadler]

You did when you said To.

That took me far longer than it should have, but still got a coffee snort.  That was funny.

Other than TAC predicting I was combing my hair during Theocracy's set at ProgPower (I wasn't - but immediately after they finished I was) that's the funniest thing I've ever read from him 

I missed that prediction.  And while I didn't witness the hair combing myself... between sets, one of Kattelox's friends pulls out a brush or comb and starts brushing his hair - when I commented on it, I think jingle said "Kattelox has one too!"   

Wait, one of Katt's friends whipped out a hair brush and brushed Katt's hair?  That's either cool AF or creepy AF, not sure which. 

[The Walrus]

No, I was elsewhere getting jiggy with it (na na na na na na na).

[Lethean]

Hahaha.  No - the friend started brushing his own hair.  And I was like "you brought a brush to the venue?" and jingle chimed in that Katt had one too (and may have said he was brushing his hair earlier).

[Lowdz]

Okey dokey, I think I've got all the predictions that I'm gonna get.  Others are either no longer regularly posting, or haven't peeked in here yet (bold are Roulette winners)

Wolfking – 7
TAC - 7
Lowdz – 7
Bolsters – 6
Lonestar - 6
jjrock - 4
King - 4
Big Hath - 4
Evermind - 4
senecadawg2 – 4
Nekov - 3
bl5150 - 3
Kattoelox - 3
Train - 1
Lethean - 1
Puppies - 1
Stadler - 1

2 people nailed their guess dead on.
2 people over-estimated how many songs they had.
13 of you under-sold yourselves.

So, for those two that were dead on, I'll gift (either thru bandcamp or iTunes or Amazon... a legitimate purchase and gift if I can) any album on this list.

I’ve always overestimated my abilities.. not gonna stop now 😉

[TAC]

I definitely overrated...

[lonestar]

Guarantee I undersold myself, something I'm quite adept at.

[jingle.boy]

What if I told you you're both wrong!



And just so lonestar doesn't get his panties in a wad....

140 - v3 / wolfking / Adagio / Dominate – great chorus … with a tasteful splash of growls (though, bordering on too much just before the solo).  But those sweeping background piano arpeggios are gold!
139 -  v4 / Train / Solution .45 / Winning Where Losing Is All – you under estimated your powers.  Tremendous riffs here with a glorious chorus.  Will Solution .45 show up again later? 
138 - v2 / jjrock / Leatherwolf / Thunder – a heavy dose of meat and potatoes
137 - v2 / TAC / Constantine** / The Broken Remain – shit, I didn’t realize they had a 2017 release.  Gonna have to check that shit out!  As I listen to this right now I'm thinking - did I really get 136 songs better than this !?!?  Damn fine track.
136 - v2 / jjrock / DC Cooper* / The Angel Comes – DC has the voice of an angel

[wolfking]

Fuck I love Solution .45.

[TAC]

137 - v2 / TAC / Constantine** / The Broken Remain – shit, I didn’t realize they had a 2017 release.  Gonna have to check that shit out!  As I listen to this right now I'm thinking - did I really get 136 songs better than this !?!?  Damn fine track.

 

And just so lonestar doesn't get his panties in a wad....

…now he's going to get a wad in his panties.

[lonestar]

Oh that happens in a stiff breeze.

[jingle.boy]

Never heard this band before. A couple minutes in to this song and I am liking it!

Chris, try this one:

The Darkest Grace

Such an amazing intro...

[Cool Chris]

Digging it! So behind on new music though. Been listening to new music (new to me, anyway) at my new job, but that often is while I am driving the company van (and thus with part of my attention on the road), or otherwise working in a capacity where I can listen to music, but not fully focus on it. I feel like half an album will go by before I realize it, and can form no immediate thoughts about what I just listened to.

[TAC]

Sounds like it's time for another roulette!

[Cool Chris]

No! I am still deep-diving in to the bands I found most intriguing in my last one!

Special thanks to Tomislav95 for introducing me to Ghost via Square Hammer, whom I saw live a couple weeks ago, much to my delight.

[wolfking]

Just wanted to randomly say that this is a fucking awesome thread idea Chad.  You have to be a music whore to warrant the thread idea, but you easily qualify! 

[Lowdz]

Pretty sure I checked that newer Constantine and it was shit.

[jingle.boy]

Yes... yes I am.  I take this as a compliment.  Love you too pal 

Pretty sure I checked that newer Constantine and it was shit.

I gave 'er a spin yesterday... couple of decent tracks, but doesn't hold up to the first 2, that's for sure.

Ok, gonna make sure lonestar doesn't have a seizure.

135 - v2 / Nekov / Dragonland / Too Late for Sorrow…. Really nice and smooth male/female vocal duet.
134 - v2 / kirksnosehair / Sacrum** / Cognition… yeah, another discography purchase.  I went a little overboard after Roulette v2.  IIRC, I think I bought like 40-ish albums after that one.  Elite also gave me a Sacrum song in the same round amazingly, but this one gets the edge.
133 - v2 / zook / Demons & Wizards / Fiddler on the Green… I’d totally forgotten about getting this until I re-visited D&W ahead of PPUSA.  I love Hani’s voice, and I love me my power ballads.  This is far and away their best song from their 2 albums.  Fight me. 
132 - v2 / Nekov / Subsignal** / Where Angels Fear to Tread… This song didn't get a discrete ranking, as it was in the qualifying round (which I only gave a yay or nay to qualify), so I’m not sure what score I would’ve given it.  Not my favourite Subsignal song, but it got me to spin Beautiful and Monstrous, and that was enough to make it a discography purchase. 
131 - v2 / Nekov / Freakeys  / One Cup, One Lighter, One Jack.  This one is fun as hell - an absolutely frantic and well constructed instrumental. But I can’t say I remember anything about the rest of the album.

It's a sweep for v2 in this batch, and Nekov gets his prediction of 3 in this batch alone.  Does he have more to come?  Stay tuned!

[The Walrus]

You couldn't be more wrong about that being D&W's best song, but I'll forgive you because you're the coolest 

[jingle.boy]

You couldn't be more wrong about that being D&W's best song, but I'll forgive you because you're the coolest 

Serious as a heart attack, I first had "Fight me (@Katt)"... but thought I'd give others the chance as well. 

[Evermind]

Absolutely the best D&W song.

2/5 for me with this batch, I also know Subsignal although I don't have the album.

[Nekov]

Well, I guess that means no free album for me 

[Lethean]

Absolutely the best D&W song.

2/5 for me with this batch, I also know Subsignal although I don't have the album.

I think you need to remedy that.

[Evermind]

Absolutely the best D&W song.

2/5 for me with this batch, I also know Subsignal although I don't have the album.

I think you need to remedy that.

No Subsignal albums in our local record store, didn't find them during my latest trip abroad either, ordering from abroad is too expensive. This will probably take a while.

[Lethean]

Ah - I have them all digitally.  I do buy some cds but rarely actually play them, so most of the time I stick with digital ones.

[wolfking]

If that's not D&W best song, it's pretty damn close.

[The Walrus]

It's Crimson King, duh!

[TAC]

Is 425 running this countdown now??

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I think Jingle is waiting for Sacul's submission.
