ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS

[Evermind]

I mean I'm gonna sound cocky but this win was long damn overdue.

That was a good roulette, Rich, especially pace-wise you were amazing. Thanks for running this!

[Crow]

oh and if for some reason you want to listen to a full paper chase album go for their last one, it's probably the least (?) weird and pretty much every song is a banger so

[Buddyhunter1]

I mean I'm gonna sound cocky but this win was long damn overdue.

Now we're even
Congratulations!

[Nekov]

Also, go non fogeys

[Elite]

Also, go non fogeys

[Buddyhunter1]

Can we define a hard cutoff for non-fogeys and then compare the average scores between the two groups?

[jingle.boy]

I think the fogey list contains me, King, cheffy-poo, TAC, Stads, Kwyji, Rom (?), HOF (?).  Possibly Puppies or wolfking - they're both 'up there' in their fogey status.

Yes!  Rich is so efficient running these roulettes.  Fantastic pace. 

[TAC]

Congratulations Ruslan!

I happier to end up in 3rd place instead of 2nd.

Thanks for holding this, Rich! I'm getting the itch myself.



Fogeys representin'!!

36 = fogey? Damn, and I was worried proposing 40 as the cutoff would be too mean.

Well, fogey is a state of mind ... not an actual age

And when the "fogey" thread was first started, it was for 30+.  We're now approaching the time where fogey = 50+

[HOF]

Heh, I’m not 40. Yet…

[wolfking]

Always a pleasure Rich.  Great score for Stortregn.  Get onto the whole album, and the new one, great band.

[wolfking]

I think the fogey list contains me, King, cheffy-poo, TAC, Stads, Kwyji, Rom (?), HOF (?).  Possibly Puppies or wolfking - they're both 'up there' in their fogey status.

Finally, I'm classed as a fogey.  I'm honored.

Watch out for Chad's hazing.  He's nothing but trouble.

[ariich]

I mean, I'm 37. Musically I definitely don't see myself as a fogey but maybe after this roulette I'll be closer to fogey eligibility!

Unfortunately, I know all too well mate.

[Sacul]

Congrats Ev!

Glad you enjoyed those Sufjan songs, his electronic work is intricate yet so emotionally moving. And yes, that live rendition is brilliant, well the whole concert is. I recommend listening to the studio version first though, and a warning - it's very intimate as it deals with his mother's death, so it's not an easy listen, but a very rewarding one anyway.

Thanks for having me! It was fun, and I'm very glad you enjoyed some of my favorite artists, old and new. I'm not very consistent with roulettes, but if I can get at least one high score, then I've done with job well.

[jingle.boy]

Heh, I’m not 40. Yet…

You're the biggest Winger fan on the forum.  You're a fogey.

[ariich]

Ok if I treat Kade, rom and HOF all as fogeys, then I can split you all into two even teams.

FOGEYS:
TAC
Stadler
Kwyjibo
wolfking
jingle
HOF
lonestar
romdrums
king
Average score = 48.1

YOUTHS:
Evermind
Nekov
Buddy
Sacul
Cyril
Elite
Luke
Puppies
Ruba
Average score = 48.4

So it's very close!

[HOF]

Good good.

[ariich]

Oh and some other things I didn't reply to as I had a busy day at work:

Funny thing is, my pockets are still hella loaded with solid fogey submissions... Kind of surprised everyone left old school Aerosmith on the shelf, they had some top teir songs before getting sober and jumping the shark.

I'd like to think that this roulette has given everyone (including myself) a slightly better idea of what interests me when it comes to pre-90s music, so that knowledge can be used in future roulettes!

I demand a review from an independent committee on the possible influence of putin and the kgb on these results!

Stop denying the will of the people!

I mean I'm gonna sound cocky but this win was long damn overdue.

That's not cocky, it's just accurate. After you had a strong start I was rooting for you to hold on, but I wasn't going to cheat in your favour so I was genuinely worried at one point that someone would pip you right at the end yet again.

oh and if for some reason you want to listen to a full paper chase album go for their last one, it's probably the least (?) weird and pretty much every song is a banger so

Yeah I definitely do, so I'll take that advice and start there and see how I get on.

Normally this would be Stadler's fault.

[jingle.boy]

Everything is always Stadler's fault   

[lonestar]

There's a fogey inside everyone of us, yearning to be set free.

[TAC]

There's a fogey inside everyone of us, yearning to be set free.

Yeah on our deathbed where our soul is set free to heaven, maybe.

[Kwyjibo]

Congrats to evermind and thanks to Rich for running this

[King Postwhore]

Tim leads by example on what it is to be a fogey.

If you don't WTF at least once a day, then are you really fogeying?

[Crow]

Yeah I definitely do, so I'll take that advice and start there and see how I get on.

it is not super clear to me which of the songs you liked/disliked most from the set but their 2006 album while also fantastic & with probably higher highs is probably not as consistent & has a bunch of interludes i'm not too fond of lol

Yeah the ones from God Bless Your Black Heart are probably the ones I'm least bothered by. Tracks 3-6 in your submission all have something about them that's really intriguing and were the ones that ended up growing on me, so I'll probably give those two albums a few listens.

[Crow]

(track 7 might be my favorite lol, it's low key terrifying in its own way but it's very different)

[wolfking]

Congrats to Ruslan.  An elite forum member with an exceptional music knowledge and taste.

So I guess 37 is the cut-off. That means I'll be a fogey next year! 

[TAC]

So I guess 37 is the cut-off. That means I'll be a fogey next year! 

Yeah, 37 AND at least be on two prescriptions or more.

Tim leads by example on what it is to be a fogey.

WTF??

If you don't WTF at least once a day, then are you really fogeying?

Um..oh..nevermind.
