Hello. I know we all like name-dropping songs, so I was hoping this would give us another chance to share. Except this time, I was hoping we could have someone else choose. No, not me. At least, not if I've set this up well enough. I was hoping that we could spin the great Wheel of Chance to pick a genre and then listen to a song from that pick. This would be a chance to explore new things, as well as name-drop.

I will post a link below that randomises a number from 1 to 100. When you get that number, find the genre it corresponds to and then listen to a song that fits the genre. Once done, please post the following:

Genre
Song Title - Artist
Score of 1 to 10, 10 being the best
Any explanation of score or comments on the genre or song itself

It's simple and might be fun. Give it a try!

100 - Your Choice

* Does not have to be Christmas music. You should not make up holidays or connect too loosely to a certain holiday.

I've provided a number of links to Wikipedia articles on the genres that should be a good way to get started. And yes, I know that some of these are not really genres. I also know that there may be some overlap between genres. Also, as usual, only listen to music that is appropriate for your age range. For instance, if you think a song will have inappropriate lyrics and you are underage, please do not listen to it. If you think the genre will give you trouble ( though there should be leeway in about all for minors) 'spin' again. Please only do this if necessary.

Good luck! I'll do this too; I'm hoping for something good. :]

Eurobeat
Tora Tora Tora ~ Domino
8/10

Eurobeat's certainly full of energy, which is cool. The synths can be a bit silly, but it's okay. The opening of this song in particular reminds me of Running in the 90s.

I'd be all over this one, but it's not working for me. (Don't worry; your link is fine; it's just my computer.) You have my support, here, Roger. I'll get to it when I can.

Opera
Gia' il sole dal Gange ~ Scarlatti
8/10

Well, the song had a very accurate musical structure, but I could'nt understand the version that I listened to. It was all a foreign language, obviously, and I'm not...Italian? I also don't like the whole style of music very much. Hmmph.

Video Game Music
Crysis 2 Soundtrack - Skyline
6.5/10, mostly for being short. Climax almost gave me goosebumps. I can't justify giving it only 6.

I mean, it's Hans Zimmer; how bad can it be?
