[HOF]

Let’s see:


Not a style I normally go for, but this sounded cool.
This all sounded nice but I’m not sure it all sounded exciting.
Very pretty, although I liked it more when the production had a bit of punch.


One of these?

No.

Looking back at the impressions, I now realise these are probably the least easy to guess so far.

[jingle.boy]

You’re showing me up by sending me loads of stuff I like and should really have known already.

Merciful Fate

I was thinking Evermind / Knopfler.

[TAC]

This all sounded nice but I’m not sure it all sounded exciting.

This better not be mine.

Round 5 first impressions
First half was ok, second half was a lot better.

Gotta be Godspeed

This energy is kind of infectious.
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s no problem at all.

Liking the rocking vibe and performances, not yet sure about the melodic hooks.

I'll boldly predict one of these for Tesla.

[ariich]

No, no and more no to everything.

Well this is entertaining.

[Elite]

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
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s generally alright.
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s no problem at all.
Pretty much what I expected, and that’s a bit disappointing.
This all sounded nice but I’m not sure it all sounded exciting.
Some of this was good, the rest was great, all of it was familiar.
This might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me - unexpectedly excellent.

(Though it's probably not the last one )

Yep it's one of those, just need to narrow it down more.

[TAC]

Just taking a shot..what the hell?

^Crossed off a couple in the quoted post above. My bet's on the familiar one.

[Crow]

@Cyril: It's none of those.

Nice!!!

Liking the rocking vibe and performances, not yet sure about the melodic hooks.
Reminds me a little of a later band I like, if perhaps not quite as emotionally rewarding.

flipping the script - one of these?
also you can tell i have very little confidence in this round but i only even care 'cause i'm doing pretty well to begin with 

[jingle.boy]

No, no and more no to everything.

Well this is entertaining.

Exactly as expected. 

[wolfking]

Is mine the melodic hook one?

Could also be the infectious one or the first half was okay and the second half better.

[Sacul]

@Sacul: You already sent me the best thing you ever sent me, two rounds ago. Let someone else have a turn.

Well damn

Pretty much what I expected, and that’s generally alright.

Sounded nice but wasn’t at all what I expected, so I’ll need to listen again having recalibrated.

One of these I'd guess.

[TAC]

??: Robert Plant
    1: Little By Little
    2: Hurting Kind (I’ve Got My Eyes On You)
    3: Big Log
    4: The Way I Feel
    5: Ship Of Fools

I truly LOVE one Robert Plant album, and for some strange reason, Kingshmegland didn't include anything from it.

[King Postwhore]

True.  I wanted less Zep, more weird with Plant for Rich.

[TAC]

True.  I wanted less Zep, more weird with Plant for Rich.

So, I freaking love Pictures At Eleven.

There's no way a group of Plant songs cannot include Like I've Never Been Gone.

[lonestar]

Ok, I'm taking a stab at the big one...

This might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me - unexpectedly excellent.

[King Postwhore]

True.  I wanted less Zep, more weird with Plant for Rich.

There's no way a group of Plant songs cannot include Like I've Never Been Gone.

I just did though.

[TAC]

By Friday...

[King Postwhore]

[TAC]

Notice who's first in line..

[King Postwhore]

Notice who misses the joke.  Love you too Snickers.

[ariich]

Morning all, I've revealed the full hangman at the top of this page, and will add the correct guesses of first impressions shortly.

[ariich]

Sacul & Elite: Yep!

Puppies: Yes but you need to narrow it down more.

Cyril and wolfking: No.

TAC and lonestar: No but I love your optimism!
