Le bingo.

[Stadler]

Yeah... that Boston submission is da bomb.  I was going to do 3/4 of those - replacing More Than A Feeling with Let Me Take You Home Tonight.  And yeah, I know the former is their flagship song, but I wanted to go with at least one 'not obvious' choice.  Same with Elton John, though I'm not sure I could play him and NOT use Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting

Not to say they aren't awesome they way they are, I would have submitted

Journey: "Who's Crying Now" for "Edge Of The Blade"
Boston: "Don't Look Back" for "Rock And Roll Band"
Phil Collins: "We Said Hello, Goodbye" or "Don't Let Him Steal Your Heart Away" for "Easy Lover"

Elton is just perfect the way it is. 

Scorpions is good too; love the "Yellow Raven" inclusion; I would have put "In Trance" or "We'll Burn The Sky" for "When The Smoke Is Going Down".


FYI, I don't mean to be critical; these are all formidable submissions.  Just talking my personal preference.

[Kwyjibo]

Like jingle said you could send almost any Journey song but I would have added Faithfully. Yeah it's cheesy and sappy but it's also one of the best rock ballads ever written. And Perry is just jaw-dropping on it.

[Crow]

Give me the Q for Q (from Q)

Outing myself, but I intentionally didn't include any of the hits. Of course, Who's Crying Now and Faithfully are both tremendous.

All I can say is that, as amazing as I find Pete Townshend and my submission, I think I may get creamed by the quality of this round.

A) I hear ya on not wanting to submit songs from just one album, but c'mon... it's Boston/Boston - the greatest debut in rock history (regardless of the fact Appetite outsold it).
B) I used to detest Easy Lover, but then something really clicked with that riff that plays underneath Bailey's vocals.

[lonestar]

I probably would've replaced Rock and Roll Band with Smokin, that track rocks so fucking much.

[jingle.boy]

All I can say is that, as amazing as I find Pete Townshend and my submission, I think I may get creamed by the quality of this round.

I don't know about the other fogeys, but it kinda brings a tear to my eye to see Journey, Boston, Elton, Phil, Pete, Scrops, and Chicago all in the same round of a roulette.

It's very much a "if you didn't live through that period or grow up listening to classic rock radio, here's what you missed!" round.

[Crow]

Yeah I'm amused that my submission was only one of many very obvious picks

For real.  My Dad would've geeked out about the bands chosen in this round!  Just missing some Doobie Brothers and Santana.

Maybe a little Foreigner, Bad Company, Eagles.

Didn’t Luke out himself with Trouble?

Tim, your eyesight is sub par...

Due to your age...

Because you are an old man...


















Am I ribbing Tim right?

Boston: "Don't Look Back" for "Rock And Roll Band"

My understanding is that the sender swapped these at the last minute. He's a huge fan of Don't Look Back, but felt the EP needed a bit of contrast as he thought More Than A Feeling-Don't Look Back-Peace Of Mind back to back to back felt a bit too similar.

Tell the sender that his logic was sound.

Indeed.  Plus, RnR Band > DLB.

I mean, why not just send the opening 4 tracks of one of the greatest albums of all time?  Seems like a fine plan to me.  Strange that the sender though the order needed to be re-arranged, but whatevs.

Well, not for me.  DLB is probably a top three Boston song for me.  Those vocals.....

[Evermind]

Scorpions is good too; love the "Yellow Raven" inclusion; I would have put "In Trance" or "We'll Burn The Sky" for "When The Smoke Is Going Down".

FYI, I don't mean to be critical; these are all formidable submissions.  Just talking my personal preference.

I love When the Smoke is Going Down, I think that might've been the first Scorpions song I've heard, I don't quite remember.

[ariich]

Anyone up for some first impressions?

Round 3 first impressions

Enjoyably bonkers. [Luke – Focus]
Wow, this was quite a journey! [Sacul – Mike Oldfield]
Lovely sound and great playing. [Nekov – Pat Metheny]
Mysterious and eerie and pretty cool. [Buddy – Comus]
More serious and heartfelt than I expected. [HOF – Journey]
Very nice - chilled but with a fair bit going on. [Elite – Wes Montgomery]
This was great - varied, catchy and surprisingly rocking. [Cyril – Elton John]
Wasn’t convinced at first, but this got better with each track. [TAC – Boston]
One possible dud, but otherwise a bunch of good, catchy songs. [jingle – Phil Collins]
Didn’t sound very distinctive, and yet some of the songs were really nice. [Stadler – Billy Squier]
A good illustration of not needing to do anything fancy to write solid rock songs. [wolfking – Magnum]
I can see what you were going for, but it sounded a bit middle of the road for me. [Kwyjibo – Nik Kershaw]
Bold choice to go for a style that I’m not sure has ever scored well in my roulettes. [Evermind – Scorpions]
Talented playing and a distinct sound - this is more like it as far as this genre goes. [romdrums – Jean-Luc Ponty]
There’s something about this that reminds me of what I liked in your first submission. [king – Chicago]
Not the strongest vocally, but the delivery is convincing and the music is mostly great. [lonestar – Pete Townshend]
The general sound and style was cool and dark, but not sure the music matched up to it. [Ruba – Trouble]
Hmm, well, there’s plenty to like but mainly I’m just glad that vocals in this genre have since improved. [Puppies – Dinosaur Jr.]

[TAC]

Lovely sound and great playing.
