Here's tonight's playlist; unfortunately Slade's Radio Wall of Sound isn't on Spotify so instead I've included a cover version by The Chalets (it was either this or a cover by Mick White; had a quick listen to both and the Chalets sounded marginally better)

And here's the table after Round 3: Marflutter and The Countess are neck-and-neck at the top, while 《snipped》[/TABLE]

Thanks everyone who tuned in tonight, I'll hopefully get the 2010's round scored over the weekend and then see if I can fit in the Jokers too, if not it might be next weekend before the final round is revealed.

Until next time!

That's terrible who ever submitted the song should be credited with an extra 10,000 points

Yeah, there are pluses and minuses to this system. It's great from my perspective to be able to rank everything anonymously, and also fun to guess who's who! But I definitely don't want to stifle any discussion on the thread either.

Incidentally I have a list of who I think is who after the first three rounds: probably not correct on all of them but I'd be fairly confident I have at least half of these right!


Aleshark

Someone who likes wrestling…phatkev?

Countess Bathrobinson Bailecoffin

Someone who likes a "classic" pop sound….am leaning towards ASLB

Fanghoward

Pretzill - I know this one!

Harmony Cullran

Someone with VERY eclectic tastes…..Sheridan maybe? I can definitely imagine Flipper's Guitar coming from the same guy who gave us It's a Rave Dave!

Hayesshine

Difficult one to pin down…...tusk, perhaps?

Helraham Jamesorty

First two submissions were quite angry songs…who here might be angry….is beakerjoe angry?

Jameslon Barspell

Mustang Shelly? White Wedding gives me that vibe

Kingolas

Am thinking Electric Nitwit, based on the indie/Britpop submissions

Lolliclarke

Triceratops Ballet? Said she regretted her submissions,and the first two didn't do too well!

Marflutter

I'm thinking osh, as he mentioned a risky Round 1 submission. Also I've liked osh's previous Walrus submissions, and Round 2 and 3 both went down well with me!

Marshallazora Satanwest

Definitely a rock music fan anyway…..Trigger?

Mediphira

Icehouse and The Verve is a bizarre duo……I dunno, Green&Red maybe?

Palka Stephenflame

I'm left with Barney92 by process of elimination, not all confident on this one though.

Rosparkle

The Puff Daddy choice is pointing me towards Necro, I might be wrong but did he nominate that on Kolido's 90's thread?

Spencerpop

Has to be Rikand, based on the dance music submissions

Yollins Roseverse

Lol, is a spoiler even necessary? Definitely spook!

Yompson Hamoondancer

Gonna guess MicksJaguar, though I've no idea why

Sheridan81

You've discovered my alias at least...

Electric Nitwit

Good list, will be interesting to see how many are right

He has discovered mine too, just beside the wrong name

Nah mate, guess again for me anyway Homer.

Wasn't pleased where I ranked in Round 3 (still, have to listen to everyone else's choices for that round), but happy enough with where I fell in the first two rounds, if that gives you any clues. My round 3 song was the one I was wariest about actually.

To be fair, the person you've credited with my choices is someone I think I'm on a similar enough wavelength with, pretty sure I really liked a lot of their choices in Barney and Kingsley's Walrus, if my memory serves me correctly.

Tauriel

He got me right

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Just finishing off the rankings for Round 4. Hope to do that reveal tomorrow night. Interesting mix of choices, and very few that I had heard before.

Oh well, would have been a miracle if I got them all correct! If I did I'd start doing the Lotto. :P

Your hint is leading me towards you being

Mediphira

....which would then suggest that

GnR might be the Countess, but perhaps not as there are several other possibilities that I've put in the wrong way!

Hit the nail on the head that time alright, but I don't think you have the other person right (not that I know, just a hunch)...

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Trying to guess who everyone is, is a bit like trying to solve a murder mystery, in fairness.

Trigger

Aaaargh, now I'm intrigued to find out who you think who I thought you were is!!! (Even reading that sentence back hurts a little)

Some are definitely harder to place than others; in particular I was really a bit clueless trying to guess Hayesshine, Palka Stephenflame, Helraham Jamesorty, Yompson Hamoondancer, Countess BB and Mediphira - at least I know one of those now!

Maybe when I "unhide" the list of names for Round 4 and see who submitted what it'll become clearer.

Trigger wrote: »

Aww really? I was actually mildly confident I had that one right.

Trigger

Personally, by looking at previous walruses i think Necro is leading here, I guessed one of the songs in the first round was his and the next two haven't changed my mind

Nah, your reasoning is skewed I typically am a rock fan but nothing too much, as I am only new to music as a whole, I listen and am a fan of most Genres, except Metal few that , alt Rock/indie would be my favourite really.

I do try to mix a bit when giving answers to walruses though.

That sentence hurts my brain too...

I actually can't quite pinpoint who

Green&Red

actually is because I haven't studied the songs as much as you have and I haven't been around the forum long enough to be overly certain on anyone's tastes just yet (bar one or two obvious ones... ***cough***Necro***cough***), its more so that I don't think they're

Countess BB

because I had a look at those songs for the first 3 rounds when you thought that was me, which are good songs by the way, but probably not stuff I'd actually go for myself in something like this, and my gut is telling me

Green&Red

hasn't gone for those three songs either, hence me thinking you were barking up the wrong tree by just flipping those two once you knew who I was, if that makes sense...

Ok, Round 4 has now been scored.

Quite a lot of songs in the middle positions were tough to rank and the order underwent a few revisions. But we'll be ready to go tomorrow night, hopefully kicking off sometime between 7.30pm and 8.

Had a quick listen to Round 3 songs this morning - some nice choices, nothing really wowed me though, and some of the scoring decisions has made me a tad nervous about my final 2 songs, which in my mind were my strongest entries, but now I don't know how well they'll do at all...

Seems like a long way of saying you don’t rate Homer’s taste

Edit: given my scoring in the last round I wholeheartedly endorse the sentiment

I'm pretty much nervous about my selection on Rd4 as I selected a song that is very much hit and miss with people.. hoping Homer enjoyed it :pac:

I reckon he will enjoy my Rd5 pick anyways

It always mystifies me how people remember their picks, who are these people? Jimmy McGee?

You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Jimmy McGee... wait, is that right? I can't remember

I just checked my entry - I submitted Portishead for my Joker, and they won round 3. I then changed my mind to go for something more obscure. It's not the winning, it's the taking part, right?

Sorry guys, been feeling unwell today so gonna have to postpone. Hopefully tomorrow night we'll get going.

Pretzill

Feel better soon Homer.
