It took me a few years to actually get involved in roulettes at all , which takes care of your first couple and by the time of your fourth I had retired  ;D
Retired after what, playing on 5 or 6?!? Short career. I'd tell you to make your prediction, but you probably already have every album in this list.  :lol

I'm pretty sure I know the top 2 songs.

I'd wager you know one, but maybe not both.

In fairness to TAC, Bill Denbrough as a reference is a bit out of left field. I say this as someone who claims the source of the reference as my favorite novel.

I won 6 so if I played 5 or 6 that's a pretty good strike rate   :P

considering I only got to send 2 songs in one of the roulettes because I was cut in a prelim round, I'm inclined to say 4, but will be optimistic and say 6.
Winger would be better!

no wait.  I wasn't in 3 roulettes.  I was only in the middle two, not the first or last - meaning I was really only in one.  So I will settle on 4 songs.

You're right!  Not sure how my count got you to three.

No idea mate-  one roulette might mean 10 songs. ........ I'll take a wild guess and say 3.

By the way I know two from this batch, A.C.T. I've got in my second roulette I think but didn't check them out further, the song was called A Failed Escape Attempt, I think. Silent Voices I've got in my latest one in the greatest hits round, really liked the song called Burning Shine.

Interested in that No Gravity song.

7?  I haven't looked back either. (It could be 1 or 2 more but don't want to get egg on my face.)

Edit:  Actually 7 sounds like a lot.  Probably less.

:lolpalm:

1 or 2... out of 40+ songs you've sent me, one winning roulette, and 2 other 'Finals' appearances?



I'll mark you down for 7.   :lol

Cool idea! I think I have the best shot of winning the prediction contest :lol I have one song on the list, that The Great Discord song from last roulette! When you continuously faceplant in someone's roulettes, the actual good scores become more memorable
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

Ha.  It does have some of Gary's most consistent songwriting in a long time.  Would have been just that too if it were a Ten album.

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!"   :rollin

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.
