The TAC Rouette V.5 DTF Faves...WTF Am I Missing??

In this roulette, I am going to explore some of DTF's favorite artists, so I can find out what I'm missing. Convince me DTF!

I have sampled a number of these acts, and by that, maybe a song of two.

So, the Banned List is ...EVERYTHING..except the following 8 bands.

One band per round. Pick two songs and send them. Simple.

I'm going through my previous roulettes to ban what I've been sent before.

Round 1. Devin Townsend

Doesn't matter if it's released as DT, DTP, or I'll even allow Strapping Young Lad, as long as he's the vocalist.
Wrong Side and Earth Day are banned.

Round 2. Haken

Everything they have released is fair game.

Round 3. Between The Buried And Me

Everything up to and including The Great Misdirect is banned. Everything after TGM is fair game.

Round 4. Neal Morse

Everything he has released is fair game. You can send Spock's Beard as long as it's Neal on vocals.

Round 5. Coheed

Everything they have released is fair game.
Three Evils is banned.

Round 6. Opeth

Only albums banned are Ghost Reveries and Heritage.

Round 7. Porcupine Tree

You may send one SW solo song in liue of one PT song.
Deadwing is banned.

Round 8. Mastodon

Crack The Skye is banned.

I am banning instrumentals for ALL rounds!

Submitting...

Just PM me the name of the songs. Hopefully everything is on Spotify, and I can make a playlist. If not, I can figure it out.

The TAC Wild Card™...

ONCE during the roulette, you may use your Wild Card. So for one round, if you're torn between songs, you can send THREE songs, and I'll pick the best two. I will listen to each once, and eliminate one on the first listen.

Scoring...

I'll score each song separately and average the two.

If you want to play, but may not be familiar with every act, it's all random to me anyway, so you can just pick whatever!

IN.
1. Cyril
2. Romdrums
3. Kingshmegland

I don't know Haken, Neal Morse or Coheed.

I hate Haken though.

Might join and see if I can not come last in those rounds picking a random song I don't know. Or is that not allowed?

Sure, I'll play this. I know all but two.

What are going to be the rules on sending the same song? First person to send gets it?

I'll allow the same song. They'll just receive the same score.

Less writeups for me.

I might take a zero for the Haken round just so aren't subjected to an extra 2 Haken songs.

No you can't skip it.

Dartboard two songs or have someone else pick them.

425 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 07, 2021, 07:48:53 PM »

Cyril, I'll pick you two Neal Morse songs if you pick me two BTBAM songs.

I abandoned my BTBAM deep dive at TGM.

I've already been underwhelmed.

ProfessorPeart · « **Reply #18 on:** November 07, 2021, 08:08:12 PM »

Guess I can pop my roulette cherry with TAC. BTBAM is the only band I don't really know. Otherwise, I am very well versed in everything else.

EDIT: Question on Hevy Devy, sometimes he has other people sing lead on his tracks. Do those count or are you looking only for those tracks that he sings on? This is stuff under the DTP brand, usually.

AWESOME!!!

I'd want him on vocals.

OH YOU BETTER LET ME IN OLD MAN!............... I mean, can I please participate, you magnificent beast.

HOF · « **Reply #22 on:** November 07, 2021, 08:49:34 PM »

I would play just to make you listen an extra two* Neal Morse songs. Most of his stuff is not on Spotify, just so you know.

I'd have to get creative for most of the rest. My best chance would be sending you my least favorite thing by all of these anyway.

*ooh, wild card lets me do three!

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #23 on:** November 07, 2021, 09:22:36 PM »

Sent!

Crow · « **Reply #24 on:** November 07, 2021, 09:31:18 PM »

alright sent for every round except for round 4, which i'll find some random crap to send from soon ok
you are going to hate porcupine tree no matter what anyone sends you tho. i know your tastes well enough. they have made one song ever you'll like.
i'm assuming there's no problem if two people send the same songs, also. less crap for you to listen to

lonestar · « **Reply #25 on:** November 07, 2021, 09:39:18 PM »

The interesting part of this roulette will be me being forced to send Opeth, Mastadon, and C&C, which I never got into, or in the case of Opeth I actively dislike most of what I've heard outside of Heritage.

Thank God you didn't have Leprous on the list, otherwise I'd have to pick stuff at random to avoid having to listen to Einar's simpering, whiny ass voice one more time.

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 07, 2021, 09:46:27 PM »

I’m in. I offer to curate submissions for any band except Neal Morse and Coheed. Maybe in exchange for a Neal Morse submission.

425 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 07, 2021, 09:51:35 PM »

I'm happy to trade Neal Morse for either BTBAM or Mastodon.

ariich · « **Reply #31 on:** November 07, 2021, 11:39:12 PM »

I'll definitely play, the only band I'll need to familiarise myself with a bit more is Coheed, the rest I'm quite comfortable with.

How will you approach two people sending the same thing? I.e. has Cyril already shotgunned songs by every band?

Well yeah, I can't see how the roulette would work otherwise, but I wanted to check.

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #34 on:** November 08, 2021, 02:07:56 AM »

If you still need participants, I'm in.

Neal Morse will probably be a problem because most of his stuff isn't on spotify.

And he got a lot of really long epics, so with the wild card we could sent you 1,5 hours of Neal Morse for that round.
