ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS

[Nekov]

And how about some...

Round 2 first impressions

Struggling to think of anything else this sounds like… unexpected and quite excellent.
Love the variety - some of it dragged a little but other parts were deliciously quirky.
Some songs were more immediate than others, but it all sounded intriguing.

One of these 3 probably.

[Evermind]

Sounds really good, and cool to hear how this relates to what came before it and after it.
My enjoyment of each song depended on how much I liked the vocals.
More interesting than most of what I’ve heard from this artist.

One of these?

[TAC]

Maybe not ariich-fodder, but this was pretty rocking and I like the guitar work.

Thin Lizzy

[HOF]

Intricate and kind of dramatic - will take a few listens to get my head round it, but I liked it.

One of the better submissions so far in this genre - very rich sonically and melodically.

Some of this felt a little tame, but I liked it when there was more energy or emotion.

Love the variety - some of it dragged a little but other parts were deliciously quirky.

I’ve not heard this artist before but this is exactly what I thought they’d sound like.

Very similar to another submission, and comparable in quality.

I could see any of these being mine.

[jingle.boy]

Very similar to another submission, and comparable in quality.

Surely this is one of the Candlemass entries

[HOF]

Surely this is one of the Candlemass entries

Ha, yeah it probably is (neither of which are mine)!

[Kwyjibo]

I have absolutely no idea, any impression could be mine. Okay, I think I can exclude the guitar one.

[twosuitsluke]

One track was a little bland, but the rest was really nice and that voice is just full of emotion.

Placing my bets on this baby

These were all correct (to within three guesses).

[ariich]

HOF and Cyril, you're right but you haven't narrowed it down enough.

All the other guesses were wrong.

[Buddyhunter1]

I'm the fuckin' first impressions champion.
(I say in last place)

[Sacul]

One of the better submissions so far in this genre - very rich sonically and melodically.

Is this mine?

[King Postwhore]

The sort of thing I’d probably love live, but is still pretty good on record.

Maaaayyyybe me?

[Elite]

Round 2 first impressions

I've got no clue this time so let's BINARY IT UP BABEY

Some of this was great, and the vocals helped with the less strong parts.

Not this one obviously

Hoping it's this one

[wolfking]

Maybe not ariich-fodder, but this was pretty rocking and I like the guitar work.

Thin Lizzy

I'll take that.

[TAC]

I'm kind of struggling for the next round.

[wolfking]

I'm kind of struggling for the next round.

I haven't thought about it yet but I was already low on options for round 2!

[King Postwhore]

I'm kind of struggling for the next round.

Take some Geritol.

[jingle.boy]

I'm kind of struggling for the next round.

Take some Geritol.

Or Midol, since he’s hitching about stuff he’s got no reason to bitch about.

I’ll give you a dozen ideas if you need one, Tim.

@Sacul, king, Elite & Cyril: All no.

Ah sorry I wasn't clear, once people are narrowing it down to 2 or 3, I'm revealing it in the original post (which is linked from the OP). Yours was indeed the one you were hoping for.

[Kwyjibo]

I’ve not heard this artist before but this is exactly what I thought they’d sound like.
Some songs were more immediate than others, but it all sounded intriguing.
I can see why this is popular, but I’m not sure I find it that exciting.

Okay, giving this a shot, maybe one of these is mine?

okay so one of these five, hmm...

I feel like mine is one of these.

[jingle.boy]

I'll open up the aperture on my guesses

Like most submissions so far in this genre not every track is killer, but the good ones are great.
Intricate and kind of dramatic - will take a few listens to get my head round it, but I liked it.

I rather like this - it’s upbeat but has an oddly emotional edge to it.

How am I doing now?  Warmer?  Colder?

One good and one poor guesses.

[ariich]

Hey all, sorry I wasn't posting much today, had a really busy day although I did manage to get in a good amount of listening time so the round is very much on track.

Tim and HOF, you correctly got within three guesses, so yours are:

Tim: Some of this was great, and the vocals helped with the less strong parts.
HOF: Intricate and kind of dramatic - will take a few listens to get my head round it, but I liked it.

Everyone else since my last post was wrong.

I'll update the impressions post now.
