This. Wrote three massive records in a row, while simultaneously pushing production into new territory with Butch Vig. Used to have a galactic ego, but seems to have reigned it in these days.

Looks like that would have exceeded the 10 minute limit by a few seconds, unfortunately. Anti-disgrace (I guess that would just be grace) denied!

But anyway, Demons and Wizards and The Magician's Birthday are classic British heavy metal albums. Firefly, Look at Yourself and Chaos & Colour from this year - amazing they're still together - aren't bad either.

Placebo - Every You Every Me - This is just a great song with amazing lyrics. It's actually quite personal song for me and, I believe, one I've nominated myself before.

Ozzy Osbourne - I just love this song. One of my favorite Ozzy songs. I must've nominated this before, as well.

Iron Maiden - Holy Smoke - Just a fun Maiden song which, like my previous nomination of Garbage, I've rediscovered recently and listened to a lot.

Mimi Webb - Freezing - That's a nice little pop song.

Bing Crosby - Swinging on a Star - Classic.

Eric Burdon & The Animals - Good Times - Good Times? Good song.

Villagers of Ioannina City - Zvara - I didn't really dislike this but it did feel like it went on for a good two or three minutes longer than it actually did. Surprising though, as when it started I didn't think I was going to enjoy it very much.

Wings - Medicine Jar - This was OK, like the guitar.

Thin Lizzy - Spirit Slips Away - Like most Thin Lizzy, it's blues mood and I'm usually here for it, but it's not something I could ever love.

Carly Rae Jepsen - Cut to the Feeling - This was a nice, bouncy pop song. I've only heard one song from her before, the one we've all heard from her before I assume?

Smashing Pumpkins - Rhinoceros - Real 90's vibe, but this one never found its way to my heart.

Blackfield - Scars - I'm not quite sure what I thought of that to be honest. Okay, but didn't really do anything or go anywhere.

Foo Fighters - Everlong -I really like the first Foo Fighters album, but I've liked all most nothing since. All sounds samey. A bit like Eminem, I usually can't tell you what the difference is between the ones I like and the ones that I don't, except that I don't like them or I do.

David Crosby - Laughing - It's just not really my thing. Nice as background music, I suppose and maybe on the soundtrack of some nice visuals or scenes out of Easy Rider or something come on again I'm sure it worked well. But I don't want to really just listen to it.

My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade Just another Emo rock band I don't understand the appeal of.

Sonny Sharrock - Once Upon a Time - Only 3.30 in but is this just six and a half minutes of this s***? Btw, the version put up doesn't work for me, so I used a different one, I was gonna ask if that was okay, but I'm guessing it won't make a difference?

Round 5

Skillet - Monster

@crumbsroom , I seem to have inadvertently usurped your position at the bottom (without even trying, I might add). No hard feelings I hope.

Don't worry. You can never take last place away from me.

If I'd only known that kazoo-based prog rock was the key to success.

Missed a round. Weekends are tough for me with NCAA, NFL and fantasy leagues. Only so much time.

Had to skip round 5, but will jump back in for 6...
