Regardless of points/rankings, I kind of view picks through a pass/fail minimally quintessentially British filter; the vast majority are passimg, but I'm giving a few picks the side-eye.

Sorry, I actually don't understand what you're saying.

Are we allowed to speculate on the Ace award? I'm pretty sure I nailed it, along with one other person.

I took it to mean he did read your post, but the rules went over his head and he botched the answer.

As long as you don't give away any songs you might have chosen that would destroy someone else's guess, I don't see why not.
Mister CIA

Planting my flag, I think Starship Trooper finishes top-10.
krista4
Footballguy
I thought it could be that, but it could also be that my post saying he didn't read my posts went over his head.

THANK YOU! I know it's a very un-Ozzy tune, but it just resonates with me. We'll meet in the end, brother.
Mister CIA

I think there is a clear front-runner. The trick is to sneak in a few top-10-ish votes. I got this, along with one other person.

I could not be more lost. Turns up volume.
Pip's Invitation

Yes has a bunch of top-tier songs that I can see doing well. Are any favored enough in this group to pull into the top 10? I have no idea.

OH asked me a few minutes ago which song of his we were on today, and I couldn't remember so just blurted out, "Sounded like a homeless guy shouting at us," and he immediately and happily said, "Oh, Sleaford Mods!"
Mister CIA

Yeah, that was a frightening clown pic. I deleted it. Sorry.

In the thread about some guy's wife had her car hit by a co-worker, I used the old FBG line for about 100th time, and got 24 hours off.
ETA: I posted it Thur evening. It got deleted. Someone posted the exact same thing Fri am. Mine is gone. The other is till there and it's been quoted.

It wasn't that frightening. Not after that Leo Sayer song.Yeah, that was a frightening clown pic. I deleted it. Sorry.

Are you kidding? How about the joke about doing it in the dude's car? And what peckerwood reported that, anyway?
Mister CIA

Condolences, seriously.

Ooo... Alert OH. I found another hole in the language filter.

Peckerwood? Is that what you are referring too?

I read the second question in Val’s contest as “What band would finish highest PERIOD, Big Three or otherwise.” U2 would be a valid answer:
2. The artist that you believe will receive the most points overall, including the Big Three.
So now I’m curious what post of yours I didn’t read, and what information I missed in said post. I miss stuff all the time, so I wouldn’t be surprised. I just couldn’t figure out what you were getting at when you pointed out my answer of U2.
My first thought was that I might have the question backwards—that I was supposed to name one of the Big Three. But I don’t know.

Ok, now I'm confused by the question.

Slide Away was a late add, and not the original song I was targeting for an Oasis pick. There was a tie-in to another pick coming up to another selction that is a joint KP/Mrs KP pick. I listened to both of their first two albums, and this was the song that I kept playing over and over. It's from the debut, but I thought it sounded like a nice bridge between that one, and a bit of a preview of the sound that was going to come on Morning Glory. It also jogged a memory of liking it a lot in college and adding it to some mix tapes back in the day.
Don Quixote
Footballguy
She revealed that “The Big Three” were running away with it, hence the term “The Big Three.” Link to one post stating as much.

Yeah, the talkbox had been around for at least a handful of years, but Frampton pretty much brought it into the mainstream with the massive success of the live album. Then for a handful of years in the mid/late 70s, seems like every band was using it. One or two songs, in particular, we may see later on.
Mt. Man
Footballguy
I made the Jethro Tull joke already? Okay, new business then. Another round where I knew over half of the songs. I expect that will happen a lot at higher (binky: lower?) ranks, but I know there will also be surprises.

Tempted (worrierking) - Didn’t make my final 45 (or so), though right now I’m wondering if I sold this song short.
Uncontrolled Desires (Just Win Baby)
The Killing Moon (Dr. Octopus)

Burn Baby Burn (titusbramble)
Get Myself Arrested (DrIanMalcom)
Another Sunny Day (Hov34)
St. James Infirmary (Val Rannous) - I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this.

Got it. Yeah, I didn’t recall that post when I voted. C’est la vie.

Similar somewhat to vocoders that keyboardists might use for vocal effects, Kraftwerk and Alan Parsons to name 2. Also great if you want to sing but really can't.
Dr. Octopus
Footballguy
Even longer if it’s Joe’s.

That's not included in the subscription price.
Dr. Octopus

She’s been constantly saying how the Big Three was/finished well ahead of whoever the No. 4 artist is.
I can’t see how that’s possible though with George Michael so far ahead already.

I thought the same thing.The category was Self-Referential Beatles.Did you see the Beatles category they had yesterday?DURAN DURAN WAS JUST THE ANSWER (OR QUESTION) ON JEOPARDY AS I READ THIS PAGE.
No! I was out last night and missed the show.
$400: John's "How Do You Sleep?" told us "The only thing you done was" this song where Paul's troubles seemed so far away
What is Yesterday?
$800: "See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run" in this song, goo goo g'joob
What is I Am the Walrus?
$1200: "There's nothing you can know that isn't known", like adding "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" to the end of this song
What is All You Need Is Love?
$1600: "Glass Onion" begins, "I told you about" this title spot, "you know the place where nothing is real"
What is Strawberry Fields?
$2000: "I'm The Greatest" had Ringo sing, "Yes, my name is" him, "the one and only" singer in Sgt. Pepper's band
Who is Billy Shears?
I found all of those easy, but I would think for a regular person that the $400 one was harder than some of those below it.

I’m not sure how many times to say the same thing but krista many times updated us that the Big Three were way way ahead - these updates came up until the very end.

I think lyrically, it's very Ozzy like, and in the albums that follow there are more songs that are in a similar space musically.
