The TAC Roulette V.5...DTF Faves..WTF Am I Missing?? MastoDONE!

[TAC]

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

Same way I approach two people asking the same question.

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.

They’ll just receive the same answer.

Less typing for me. 

[ariich]

Not sure how I missed that.

[TAC]

This looks like fun.

No it doesn’t. 


You’re in.

[jingle.boy]

Sadly, I think this is gonna be a pass for me.  Devy and Morse are the only acts I like up there, and even at that I only know about 5-6 albums from their libraries. The rest ... I range from “meh” to actively disliking them.

How bout I take a zero for every round?  I may just win if you use the Winger scoring system!

[wolfking]

I'll have to send in the morning now.

[TAC]

What was I thinking???

This thread last night…




…this thread this morning.




Seemed like a good idea at the time…

[Elite]

Let's all send The Grand Conjuration in the Opeth round.

[jingle.boy]

You know Tim, there should be a bonus round for Pain of Salvation.  You forgot them as a "beloved" DTF band.  Or Steven Wilson solo material.  That ought to spruce things up! 

[Elite]

Let's all send The Grand Conjuration in the Opeth round.

Well, shit. Ghost Reveries is banned

[Kwyjibo]

Sent round 1

And I have a feeling that this roulette will be a lot more fun for us participants than for Tim as the listener. 

Let's all send The Grand Conjuration in the Opeth round.

Well, shit. Ghost Reveries is banned

We can still go with Eternal Soul Torture

Well, it wouldn't work anyway as he'd only listen to it once per listen-through, and then give each player the same score for it, rather than listening to it over and over again. So we should each send him a different song.

I'll go with Black Rose Immortal.

[TAC]

For sure! 

[King Postwhore]

Every write up better have WTF is this and WTF was that?

[TAC]

It’s in the title!

[LudwigVan]

Can I get in?

[faizoff]

Cool idea, will be reading the thread. Too lazy to send submissions and convince TAC at this point. 

[TAC]

Can I get in?

Hell F’n YES!!!

It would my distinct privilege and honor to have you!!

[jingle.boy]

Maybe I should handle the gifpressions?

[TAC]

Maybe I should handle the gifpressions?

[jingle.boy]

You're gonna get a lot of mileage out of that one, aren't you?

I'll have to seriously consider it... because it would then mean I have to listen to this crap.  Devy and Neal I'd be ok with.  The others ... I've seriously already given them their fair shot - Haken and PT especially.

[Evermind]

I'll pass. I can make do with Haken, Devin, PT (although Deadwing is my favourite at this point) and Opeth, but I don't like Mastodon, Coheed or BTBAM. Neal Morse is hit or miss with me so yeah, I'll skip this one.

Looking forward to see the write-ups though!

[TAC]

You're gonna get a lot of mileage out of that one, aren't you?

 



I’ll retire it but I reserve the right to whip it out on special occasions.

[Cool Chris]

What? No Genesis round?

[Stadler]

SO you already have about 26 participants; can you take one more?  But full disclosure, I'm in it for the same reasons as you.  I don't like or don't get 3/4 of the bands on your list (I love Dev and Neal Morse, though) so I'm going to be exploring with you.    But I'll listen to them and see if I can find something I like to send.   

(And count me in on those that question no "PoS" or "Steven Wilson solo"; Wilson is like a God around here, and I find him boring, bland and (largely) a dick in interviews, so I wonder what's the what!)

[romdrums]

Sent.

[Buddyhunter1]

Sent!

Looking forward to judging everyone else profusely for their song picks.
I went with a (largely) heavy direction, but I hope you get a wide variety of songs, including some quieter ones. One of the best things about Devin's catalog is its diversity.

[Elite]

I'll pass. I can make do with Haken, Devin, PT (although Deadwing is my favourite at this point) and Opeth, but I don't like Mastodon, Coheed or BTBAM. Neal Morse is hit or miss with me so yeah, I'll skip this one.

Throw two dice and pick track X from album X for any artist you don't know

[TAC]

What? No Genesis round?

Oh I thought about it.
Aren’t these rounds bad enough?

You’re in.

I honestly forgot about PoS.

I haven’t ruled out being able to send Steven Wilson solo in the PT round. Maybe a song from PT and one for SW.

[TAC]

Ok. I think 16 is a good number of participants.

Let’s get some songs in!!

[HOF]

Have sent!

[TAC]

Have received unfortunately.

[Elite]

You got mine too and you also already confirmed. Yay!

[HOF]

Have received unfortunately.

You’re gonna have so much fun!

[Buddyhunter1]

You could do what you did for Devin Townsend and make the Porcupine Tree round just a Steven-Wilson-in-general round. Though I'm not sure what you'd be accomplishing there because PT is his best project and you'll probably hate everything else he's done even more.

[TAC]

Have received unfortunately.

You’re gonna have so much fun!
