You can find the rules, list of songs and YouTube playlist of all songs in this thread.
I'll also put a link for each new round there and the thread is stickied so that it's easier to find.

Boston - More Than A Feeling

Fates Warning - One

Helmet - Unsung

Magnum - The Prize

Ratt - Lay It Down

 

[Forostar]

All these songs are pretty good!

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Helmet rocks

 

[Forostar]

I'll go for the catchy song called The Prize by Magnum.

 

[Night Prowler]

Weakest round so far, the only one I truly liked is More Than A Feeling. Hence, I'm voting for it.

 

[mckindog]

That was kind of fluffy, fun round.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

First two, though I enjoyed the Magnum song as well.

 

[Forostar]

Heard the Boston song a bit too often. Interests me less these days.

 

[Mosh]

I've grown new appreciation for Boston this year. The production on those albums is really great and the guitar sound is so pleasant to listen to. I get Somewhere In Time era vibes from a lot of that stuff, makes me wonder if they were an influence.

 

[mckindog]

The sound of that first Boston album was tremendous - so clean and full and the band sounded so fresh.
their later albums all just sounded the same.

 

[Night Prowler]

Gonna listen to Boston's debut then

 

[Mosh]

The first Boston is essential, you should definitely check it out. And while they did stick to a similar formula after that, I think the other albums (up to Walk On, haven't heard their last two) are worth checking out too. There are lots of great songs that came after the debut (Amanda, Don't Look Back) and even though they never came close to topping the debut, they still put out some quality music. Unfortunately there was so much delay between albums that they never really had a chance to develop any sort of sound. Talk about a band with unfulfilled potential.

 

[Forostar]

For many years I thought this song (a better one in my opinion) was by the same band:

 

[bearfan]

I went with Helmet and Ratt, But do not dislike any of these, all good songs

 

[Mosh]

Went with Boston and Ratt. Got a soft spot for some of that glam metal.

 

[mckindog]

I have always loved that sniff and the tears song

 

[Forostar]

Same here. Incredibly infectious. Important role for the keyboard. Also a radio song for me. Yesterday I saw the clip for the first time.

Spoiler

 

[mckindog]

Such an insistent groove and hypnotic melodies.

More Than A Feeling wins Round 6!
