FlyingBIZKIT's Roo Let v. Let's Get It On (Final Standings Inside!)

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Hey guys this is my first roulette so expect it to be simple and straightforward.

Rules:

- 8 Contestants
- 8 Rounds
- All Rounds will be Open. No themes.
- I will rank the songs 1-8 on how much I enjoy them. #1 getting 8 points, #2 getting 7 points, and so on.
- I will accept Youtube links or something that can be found on Spotify.

I will begin this as soon as I get 8 contestants, which shouldn't take too long. I'm reserving a spot for black_floyd for now as he said most likely take part. I have 3 people already interested, Scorpion, Nekov, and Seneca. So that leaves 4 spots open. Come quick!

Contestants:
1. senecadawg2
2. Scorpion
3. Nekov
4. Elitist.
5. Parama
6. Sacul
7. kingshmegland
8. black_floyd

And I now have 8 contestants. Thank you gentlemen for a quick and easy process.


Alright, as far as my tastes go, I'm what you would probably call a Steven Wilson fanboy, but I generally like anything. I'm not necessarily huge on Progressive Metal, but I'm willing to give more of that stuff a shot. For example, Pain of Salvation has been kind of hit or miss for me, but I haven't listened to a whole lot of them, so they won't be included on this list. And I'm willing to give them more chances, because all the bands I know and love today had to grow on me. I wasn't fond of DT or PT when I first heard them, but now they're among my favorites. Lately, I've been exploring different genres such as rap, funk, jazz, and blues. This shouldn't be too hard for any of you because I'm very open to new styles of music, and I generally like most of what I hear. Plus, my banned list will be pretty short:

Aerosmith
Agalloch
Alter Bridge
Anathema
Andrew W.K.

There might be more but that's good enough. I'll add more if I remember. The ones in bold letters are ones that are my favorites.

[Elite]

Okay.



I'll do my best to send swiftly.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

You can't partake in my roulette.





























hahajk.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

And I'll post a list of banned bands shortly.

[Nekov]

So, while we wait for more people to join this, do you have a list of banned bands or something we can use as reference as to what you like?

[Crow]

18-second ninja'd like a pro 
I dunno who you are so /in
Allow me to allow you to hate me

[senecadawg2]

Look at your music library- that's the banned list.

[Sacul]

Let's play .

[FlyingBIZKIT]

ONE MORE SPOT

[King Postwhore]

Knock, knock.


I'm your huckleberry.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Alright, I posted the banned list in the OP. Everything is set to go, and we will go ahead and begin.

Round 1 will last a whole week, (is that too long or too short? Y'all give me some pointers and tips if necessary, this is my first roulette and need a feel for things) so whenever you guys get ready just send me a PM with your song choice.

Also, keep in mind that there are no themes and every round is open. So there's going to be a lot for you guys to choose from, no limits!

[Evermind]

Well, 8 rounds with each round lasting a week is a kind of standard timing. It's recommended to wrap up the roulette in two months, and this schedule allows you to do exactly that.

Seems I'm a bit too late to play, but I'll follow.

Sweet

And sorry about that, if I do  a future roulette, I'll probably add a few more contestants. I'll just see how things go this time around.

[King Postwhore]

Alright. I'll send tonight!

[Sacul]

That's a great list!  Will send soon.

[Nekov]

Sent!

[Crow]

gotta enter this band before they get sniped by someone else, then

also curious as to what Pain of Salvation you've listened to, for... reasons 

edit: hot damn, did I just notice an omission on the banned list that I actually mentally skipped going through my music list because I assumed it would be there. someone better plug that hole before this roulette ends 

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I hope it's not Symphony X

Just kidding. And I've listened to a few songs from various albums from PoS, but not enough to really remember anything.

[Sacul]

Sent. This song has given me either 8s and 9s, or 3s and 4s in previous roulettes .

[King Postwhore]

Sent!

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I've now received everyone's entry for Round 1 and I'm already listening. Thank you guys! I'll have the results in next Wednesday!

[FlyingBIZKIT]

One of my fellow contestants mentioned maybe I could make the rounds shorter, and I agree with that. It's not going to take me a whole week to listen to all these songs and form a good opinion on them. I have a good bit of free time and as long as you guys don't mind I can always end this round sooner. Let me know what you think.

[Crow]

End the round when you feel the round's over and you have good opinions on all the songs, sticking to a set timeframe is entirely unnecessary

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Sounds good, thanks for the feedback

[Scorpion]

Parama knows what's up.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Alright with that being said I'll do 1 round per month.

[King Postwhore]

 

The anticipation would kill me.

[bl5150]

Was following - now..............

[Sacul]

So, when can we expect results now?

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Probably sometime over the weekend. I've been so busy watching college basketball today but I've taken the time to listen to most of the songs already. I will have a lot of free time coming up.

[black_biff_stadler]

Results nao FUCKER!!!

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Coming shortly.

[Crow]

9.5/10 tbh 

[black_biff_stadler]

I knocked up a chick when this round started. I'm already a grandpa now. GREAT JOB, LÜK!!!!!

[Sacul]

Coming shortly.
