ariich’s fogey roulette (v7) – FINAL RESULTS

[Kwyjibo]

Is the unguessed band Failure

And one of the songs The Nurse Who Loved Me

ahh yes, the song that a perfect circle covered

That's why I know this song. Although I never heard the original.

[Stadler]

And I thought it could be you who sent Robert Plant. 

He is/was on my list, actually.  I would have sent some of his later stuff, though, simply because the difference from Zeppelin is starker.

[jingle.boy]

I would have thought Kwyjibo sent Robert Plant, since I LOVE Robert Plant and wouldn't have sent ONE of those song.   

Ditto... If I'd sent Bobby, there would've been nothing pre-Now And Zen - not a fan of that stuff.

[Kwyjibo]

I love Plant from Fate Of Nations onward, everything before that is solid, but doesn't really grab me.

[HOF]

Guessing Stadler sent Jellyfish.

[Stadler]

Guessing Stadler sent Jellyfish.

Don't tell anyone.  See if they guess. 

[jingle.boy]

I'm pretty sure Diego sent me the Waterboys once.  Mayhap it's one of his go-to bands?

[TAC]

jingle: Tesla
    1: Edison’s Medicine
    2: Modern Day Cowboy
    3: Paradise
    4: What You Give

3 great tunes, but I would think What You Give would illicit a "less is more" comment.
That's a skippable tune for me, but Paradise is indeed my favorite Tesla track.

Gotta be Kade.

Why not try and cheat after a good score?

Probably will backfire though.

Far from it. I've barely used it in roulettes, but I thought this was the right time to go for it. We'll see if I was right

[Kwyjibo]

... I would think What You Give would illicit a "less is more" comment.
That's a skippable tune for me ...

I know tastes and all, but that comment is just plain wrong. 

[wolfking]

I tried Tesla after all the recomendations especially from Chad but nothing really grabbed me.  I even picked up a couple if their albums.  Maybe I'll try them again depending what Rich thinks of them.

One of my favorite Tesla songs, which explains TAC’s position on it.

Tim, you're getting bitch slapped around on this page.

I'm going to ask your wife that at the next DT show.

Don't I know it.

I wouldn’t bother. If what I sent didn’t grab ya then, it prolly ain’t gonna grab ya now.

My opinion of Tesla based on the albums I’ve heard is that a lot of the radio hits are pretty fun, but a lot of the album tracks are pretty forgettable.

Heh, I've always found Tesla dreadfully boring, but I've only heard the radio hits and a few other tracks, so....

I know we've not finished hangman yet, but that's because we started a little later. It's Tuesday night though, which means time for...

Round 5 first impressions

[Buddy – Afro Celt Sound System]
[jingle – Tesla]
Super cool and rather nice. [Evermind – Mark Knopfler]
A bit disappointingly normal. [wolfking – Mercyful Fate]
This energy is kind of infectious. [Luke – The Wildhearts]
First half was ok, second half was a lot better. [Ruba – Failure]
Not a style I normally go for, but this sounded cool. [lonestar – Love and Rockets]
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s generally alright. [Sacul – Godspeed You Black Emperor!]
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s no problem at all. [TAC – Michael Kiske]
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s a bit disappointing. [romdrums – U2]
This all sounded nice but I’m not sure it all sounded exciting. [king – Robert Plant]
Some of this was good, the rest was great, all of it was familiar. [Elite – Duke Ellington]
This might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me - unexpectedly excellent. [Stadler – Jellyfish]
Very pretty, although I liked it more when the production had a bit of punch. [Puppies – The Cranberries]
Liking the rocking vibe and performances, not yet sure about the melodic hooks. [Kwyjibo – Thunder]
Reminds me a little of a later band I like, if perhaps not quite as emotionally rewarding. [HOF – Toad The Wet Sprocket]
Sounded nice but wasn’t at all what I expected, so I’ll need to listen again having recalibrated. [Nekov – The Waterboys]
You’re showing me up by sending me loads of stuff I like but should really have known already. [Cyril – New Radicals]

You do seem rather undecided on whether you think I found it expected or unexpected, or whether I liked it or not.

[Sacul]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

The Dead Flag Blues

 

That'd be Sacul

This is one of those songs that could either score really high, or completely bomb.

I'd honestly score it somewhere in between; I like it but GY!BE has much better pieces imo

I was thinking of sending some of the other tracks from the album, but I feel this one is just the right length for the roulette.

Is the unguessed band Failure

And one of the songs The Nurse Who Loved Me

Huh I had them on my backlog, hope they score well.
