 :rollin :rollin :rollin

Tim, I am howling.

Chad, unless I missed something, yours is the "this reminds me of a band I can't stand" impression and you didn't guess that one.

Indiscipline

6 or 8 according to Katt, more cowbell according to TAC?

Very good guesses, Indi, but no.

Because I have - gasp - actual work to do for a change, I will leave you with the actual list. Now is the Era of Crankshaft. This list is copied from a notepad file from earlier but I'm pretty sure the impressions are the same.

Results at the end of the week.

1. Like a nice dose of musical candy [wolfking]
2. I expected to hate this, but was impressed [Podaar]
3. Borderline cheating, I hear one of these songs at work every week [Elite]
4. Like slowly dipping myself into a cold bath after a long hot day [Evermind]
5. Exactly what I was hoping to get in this roulette [Puppies]
6. No doubt about it, this is certainly interesting [Sacul]
7. You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention [Big Hath]
8. Perfectly embraces the spirit of this roulette [ariich]
9. Holy shit [Indiscipline]
10. That was super relaxing [Shadow Ninja 2.0]
11. This is totally music that fits where I live [Stadler]
12. This voice reminds me of a band I can't stand [jingle.boy]
13. There's a very nice twist here but otherwise I'm not sold yet [HOF]
14. Adventurous yet somehow tamer than I expected [Train of Naught]
15. Tommy Boy: "That. Was. Awesome!" [Bolsters]
16. You bastard [kingshmegland]
17. Surprised I have never heard of this guy or been sent his music tbh [romdrums]
18. Vocals: eh, everything else: yes [Buddyhunter1]

Evermind

I've just lined up the next few rounds and not gonna lie, I'm kinda thrilled to send this to you Mike!

Coincidentally, "this" is the anagram of "shit", so Tim can read the previous sentence as "I'm kinda thrilled to send shit to you Mike".

19. Vocals: eh, everything else: yes

These are probably the two Kip Winger entries. I once showed a music professor some of Kip's music in college, and he listened for about a minute before turning it off and saying "the vocals sound like Bon Jovi!"  ::)

Close, but no cigar.

Quote from: TAC on September 19, 2024, 05:23:01 PMHow is this even possible? Are we playing or what, people??
So I just checked, and, uh, you are one of the two who haven't sent.

The Walrus

In my defense, I meant to clarify that that particular selection was not HOF's Winger selection. Suck it, Chad!  :loser: ok bai~

I hope that "You bastard" is your wallet screaming because it will be lighter from some new purchases.

I'd guess this one's mine.

Not yours.

Quote from: wkiml on June 08, 2012, 09:06:35 AMwould have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Quote from: Buddyhunter1 on April 22, 2023, 05:54:45 PMTAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

In *my* defense, you seemed pretty clear:

HOF - "These are probably the two Kip Winger entries"
Katt - "close but no cigar"

Well, he called it warm and pretty, which are not two words that I'd describe it  :lol but I have no doubt it'll do well.

Nope. Let me help you. Suffice to say that you have again sent the strangest f'n batch of songs in the whole round. And in this round, that's saying something. :lol

Honestly, I'm ready to just hand over impressions to Tim every round. Those images are cracking me up

wolfking

Just woke up, but I was going to guess number 1, so that's nice.

The Walrus

 :corn

Because this roulette is already moving at light speed, I've updated the OP at the top with all the round info: submissions list, Katt impressions, Judge Crankshaft's Timpressions, and results TBA (results will include the complete banlist of artists sent in the roulette to date). The rest of the rounds will also have links to comparisons. Hopefully that will keep this neat and help people keep track of music that was already sent.

ariich's format is definitely my favorite of all that I've done so far. Ya'll should do it too.

I found the memes pretty amusing myself....

Can't wait to find out which meme was mine.

Tim has been granted the Official Seal of Approval to continue his Timpressions.  :natalieportman:  :corn

I must have somehow missed the Hell and Goates one.  :lol

Saying that, I have no fucking idea what that means!  :lol
