I'm not even sure what the "relatively obscure" artists would be this round, tbh. :lol

I want to say UFO but that might just be me not being old enough.

Of the artists sent this round, I'd say the "relatively obscure" ones are Alter Bridge, Beyond the Bridge, The Hirsch Effekt, Katatonia, Amorphis, and UFO. That's just because I've rarely/never heard about these bands before this roulette.

Ehhh, I honestly don't blame you for that.  Unless you follow wrestling 10-15 years ago or follow Slash's solo band, you probably wouldn't know them.  They rarely get plays on Sirius XM Octane (which is supposed to be the go-to station for a band like them to get radio airplay) unlike their more well-known contemporaries (which I won't list here since it may be a future submission).  The band, that 3/4ths of the guys used to be in, had their popularity peak roughly 2-3 years before you were born.

Honestly, I'm quite amazed how this band is still alive and relatively surviving well for 16 years, when many other alt metal/nu-metal/post-grunge bands that started around the 2000s seemed to fade to obscurity.  I'm still amazed on how I'm still a big fan of theirs for 13 of those years when many bands I've discovered back then, I don't like as much now.

It is quite astounding to be fair. Just for the record, I prefer Creed as well, so shoot me  :rollin

Still a couple days away from the results. As I mentioned, I'll be scoring each song on a scale of 1 to 10, with quarter increments, so I thought now would be as good a time as any to mention what each number represents, exactly:

10 - Perfect. Or at least so close to perfection that the difference is basically negligible. It's possible to go higher than 10, in a way, but that will be explained if such an event occurs.
9 - Amazing. Not quite perfection, but it's a very impressive and admirable effort nonetheless.
8 - Great. It might have minor flaws, or perhaps it's simply not the greatest thing ever, but this is definitely an above-average song.
7 - Good. More or less enjoyable from start to finish.
6 - Decent. Not bad by any means, but it's either held back by some kind of flaw or simply isn't anything all that impressive.
5 - Mediocre. I wouldn't necessarily call it bad, but it's quite underwhelming and most likely has some issues.
4 - Bad. Not the worst thing in the world, of course, but it's bad enough that I'd call it... well, bad.
3 - Awful. Even if there's something to enjoy here, everything else about the song is so poor that it's a waste.
2 - Terrible. The song in question is so irritating and/or is of such a poor quality that it bothers me.
1 - Abysmal. I think it speaks for itself, really; this is utterly horrendous on every single level, and bluntly, my life would probably be inherently better if I never listened to it.
It's possible to score lower than a 1, in which case I wouldn't be sure whether to be more shocked that a song so bad can actually exist, or that I actually bothered to listen to it for sake of review.

Unless you're intentionally trying to send me the worst things ever, I highly doubt I'll end up scoring a song below a 3/10. I can at least say that no one song in Round 1 is anywhere close to being that bad.

Not a big mystery, it's because they are actually good  :corn I mean, sure, before Fortress (which has a timeless quality to it), those albums definitely bear a mark of the time they were made in, but they don't feel manufactured or pushed into a genre hole.

I tried Chroma Key a long time ago.  10lbs of meh in a 5lb bucket.
I'd call you 300lb of bad takes for this, but I can't even do that because you look good  :censored

and it would be rude to insult such an old man anyway

Admittedly, I am somewhat behind on giving my final ratings for each artist/song. But I've got a whole day tomorrow (or today, it's already Saturday in my timezone), so I will do my best to get the rest of these ratings finished so I can get the results out on Sunday. I've gotten through 8 artists' ratings thus far, so that leaves me with 11 more.

Don't sweat it! You have a lot of music to listen to and that takes times. You should also never be too efficient in the first round. Otherwise we'll expect the same from the next rounds and we'll be a pain in the ass when you take too much time  ;D

Seeing as Led Zeppelin is one of the bands for Round 1 of this roulette, I thought it'd be related enough to this thread to share a little story. If nothing else, I think jingle.boy might be interested to hear about this.

Earlier today, I was riding with my dad to a supermarket, and because he forgot his phone, he just turned on the radio. And at some point... Led Zeppelin came on. It wasn't one of the songs in my submission (I don't know what song it was called, though), but anyway, my dad started groaning and complained about how much he hates Led Zeppelin. I just stayed quiet, though he did ask if I've heard them before. I pretended that I'd never heard them before, though, and then my dad went on to talk about how the band should've been "put on trial for war crimes" or something.

Partly just too much classic rock radio growing up. Partly because they were the “cool” band everyone was supposed to like just because. Partly because they are too bluesy maybe. Don’t get me wrong, I like a few of their songs just fine and get their place in rock history. I just have never been all that moved by their music.

I’m a few years younger than Revenge’s dad. Not old enough to be his dad, but maybe the cool younger uncle. ;-)

I spent pretty much the duration of the 90s listening to a mix of classic rock and alternative rock radio. I would say I listened to it more than the average kid my age due to some of the way I was raised (I had a lot of time at home and a lot of freedom to listen to whatever from a young age). I also had two older brothers who were fans, so that added a bit to the over kill.

Well, it's not anyone can actually relate to Robert Plant in the 1970s in any time period.  The man had one of the biggest larger-than-life package in his prime.
