And then there's one jerk that just doesn't like the name because they think that there's some criminal enterprise afoot.

Wait what? I also thought you'd do better- and yet it would seem that I've beaten you.
YEAH, SUCK IT KUROI! MONGO RULES YOU DROOL!

You deserve this eighth place trophy! This band has been praised for making people want to eat breakfast, which is totally the best meal of the day. Or first meal of the day. Something like that. One snarky reviewer commented that this band brought many lesser-known artists and had an esoteric name. I personally think it's neat! People have even mentioned that if there was a #6 spot where they could grant more points, they'd get that! Also not sure if this was a compliment, but they said that they take acid before playing. HEY, IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A BAD THING, MAN!? Anyways, others have mentioned that the band flew low under the radar and that... they have a hard time imagining the sound, which... dude, the band just played! Have you not HEARD Soaring through Eternity’s Gate!? Beautiful! All the feedback was true…now everyone go listen to these lesser known artists/bands and change your vote! Esoteric would definitely be the key word to my low score. Just know the sound would have been awesome.

Judge: Alright. This is a whole heckin' amount of fun! Now let's go on to your fifth place winners! Yes, I said fifth and I said winners because these two are so close that they are TIED! The first person who tied for fifth is... {Spoiler}{Spoiler} ♫ Doom Muffin ♫ ♪ Vocalist: Joakim Brodén (Sabaton) ♪ Guitarist: Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage) ♪ Bassist: Marko Hietala (Nightwish) ♪ Drummer: Jen Ledger (Skillet) ♪ Fifth Member: Tarja Turunen (Piano) ♪ Single: All Hallow's Eve Judge: Yeah, so this band Nausicaa wrangled together is pretty sweet. This band got really good reception and feedback for the sounds that they make, between Saboton and Nightwish. They were praised for the cohesion being there and for the delicious, albeit fattening name. Their only big hit came from some of the band members not being well known to many others. With that said, they scored well! Nausicaa - 13 PointsAnd here's our other fifth place finalist! ♫ The Early 2000s ♫ ♪ Vocalist: Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) ♪ Guitarist: Daron Malakian (System of a Down) ♪ Bassist: Fat Mike (NOFX) ♪ Drummer: None (Time Elapsed) ♪ Fifth Member: DJ Lethal (Linkin Park/Decks) ♪ Single: We've Got No Drummer This band gave us a lot of noise that reminded a lot of us from when we were growing up in the early 2000s! Well, I mean, not me. I was already in my forties then. But I'm still rad! This band has been noted for a lot of good and a lot of bad. While this band got raff for there not being a drummer and for the guitarist going a bit too hard compared to everyone else, a lot of cool cats like the sound! Oof, and one of the biggest punches to the gut is someone saying that this song belongs on a, "Now That's What I Call Music!" album. BRO! Nausicaa - 13 Points

Judge: That was great. Now it's time to move to our third place finalists. Wait, THIRD? FinalistS?! Yes! Just like our fifth placers, our third places are TIED! I can also confirm that it's our last ties! There are no more after this, which means we DO have a number one and a number two. Heh. Number two. Now our first groovy third placer is... ♫ The Don Owen Conspiracy ♫ ♪ Band Manager: Cross Recoba ♪ Vocalist: Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) ♪ Guitarist: Rory Gallagher ♪ Bassist: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) ♪ Drummer: Ginger Baker (Cream) ♪ Fifth Member: Prince (Guitar) ♪ Single: Hammering on that Locked Door This band got major points for being a cohesive band, possibly more than any other band out there! Some of them called this a bluesy band and love it for that reason. Some others don't know many in the band and most of them just don't know who Don Owens is or why there's a conspiracy! Judge: And our second? Just check this bad boy out! ♫ The Busking Fools ♫ ♪ Band Manager: Mongo the Destroyer ♪ Vocalist: Roy Orbison ♪ Guitarist: George Harrison (The Beatles) ♪ Bassist: Paul McCartney (The Beatles) ♪ Drummer: Ringo (The Beatles) ♪ Fifth Member: Jeff Lynn (Keyboardist/Mixer) ♪ Single: Never Stop Twisting This band obviously scored super highly, being majorly a Beatles band. In fact, some people didn't like that, calling it close to cheating. And it being so similar to Beatles made this somewhat divisive. It seemed like half of the listeners love that music and the other half don't. There was one guy yelling how we couldn't vote him as number one, and it was the band's manager! Woah! That guy needs a chill pill! We'll get back to y'all soon with our first and second place finalists!

Don Owen was a Portland wrestling promoter in the territory's pomp. The conspiracy is why isn't more made of Don Owen! Piper would have voted for me. Buddy Rose would have boted for me! Even Art Barr would have voted for me (but then he'd do anything to distract from the charges.)

Any thoughts for if it's Awesome or DT? I think the winner is Awesome, nothing against DT's team but Steve hit some really good band members under the radar.

Judge: Okay y'all. Here it is the finals. Remember that the grand prize is the Golden Note trophy! Judge: ...and the second place award is a... *squints* free plate of nachos with entree at Obsidian's Restaurant. The fans applaud.Judge: I had a third place trophy, but it was a cat so I don't know how y'all would feel if I did the ol' King Solomon on it. So yeah. Without further adieu, let's take a look at our #2. Heh. Number two. ♫ Doctor Claypool and Jack Blues in Bonham Town ♫ ♪ Band Manager: Awesome ♪ Vocalist: Jack Black (Tenacious D) ♪ Guitarist: Jack White (The White Stripes) ♪ Bassist: Les Claypool (Primus) ♪ Drummer: John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) ♪ Fifth Member: Rick Rubin (Production) ♪ Single: That Kid at Speedway Pissed Me Off! Judge: Unlike the other Steve, this one's band has a drummer! This band has been called gimmicky, and while some love Jack Black, others have been critical. One reviewer has even asked why Jack Black was there and that they weren't sure the band's intention is to thrill them or just make them laugh. Others have been shocked about how this band has flew under the radar because they have crazy talent. So let's hear it for Steve Awesome! (Awesome - 17 Points Judge: This, of course, means that our WINNER is... ♫ Shattered Mindscape ♫ ♪ Band Manager: DT ♪ Vocalist: Claudio Sanchez (Coheed and Cambria) ♪ Guitarist: John Petrucci (Dream Theater) ♪ Bassist: Geddy Lee (Rush) ♪ Drummer: Dave Grohl (Nirvana) ♪ Fifth Member: Keith Emerson (Lake & Palmer / Keyboards) ♪ Single: Cosmic Melancholy
Judge: Those who didn't know the band's members were intrigued, and those who knew the band absolutely knew they were going to love the guitar solos! One reviewer commented, "This band knows what it is and chooses the right people for the job." He got solid marks across the boards, with his only critiques as a jest on his vocalist, Claudio Sanchez, and questionable choices for his song names. Congrats, DT! You're our first winner! (DT - 25 Points) I hope you guys enjoyed it! I got some visualizations for you too that I'll share another day. So questions: 1. Are you interested in further games? Would you play again? 2. Any suggestions? What can we do for the future? People have mentioned ideas like forcing us not to reuse musicians used in previous games, but want to hear your thoughts.

I would definitely play again.
Maybe next time we could do sample lyrics. Or a band manager write up that explains the intent of the band/ what you expect them to sound like.
And like I was telling you on discord Kur, could even branch out and do movie/Tv Show casting or re-casting.

I could also see like TV show casting (again with a write-up from the producer)
