I only get about or two a year and in the 14+ years I have been on this site, I've been the first to reply correctly less than a handful of times.
However, I do like the "Ah Ha!" moment when the answer is revealed (when I understand them).
Perhaps we should have rule that recent winners give the rest of us a head start, e.g. 09:00 start time for standard users and 09:30 for recent winners. A 'recent winner' could be anyone who has won in the preceding 14 calendar days and after the 14 days, the 'recent winner' can revert to being a standard user. Just an idea!

If that's something people think would help, I'm fine with it as a rule change. With one proviso: who gets to police this? 
Let's take a vote: "Yes" or "No", reply to this message and we'll count 'em Tuesday to give people a chance.

My thumbs-up should be taken as a yes. Sounds like a good idea - though maybe we should extend it to 10:00?

Fine with me - I agree with Derek though, 10.00am would be better - it's going to be difficult to police though being an international site.

PIEBALD likes to police everybody’s jokes going back twenty years. I’m sure he’s up to the task !🤣
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Yes, but with an added suggestion:
The holdoff time is one hour from when the clue is posted.
We all can read the xxx minutes ago column.

This would work! Instead of OG and pkfox answering 98% of the time it would be more balanced with OG and pkfox answering 98% of the time!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Auri - Light And Flood[^]
Auri is the folk band of Nightwish composer and keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen.
They recently released their second album and it's as relaxing and dreamy as the first (which was also featured in the SOTW).
This song in particular got my attention.
Maybe because it's fully instrumental, although I really like Auri's vocalist, Johanna Kurkela, too.
I can recommend listening to the entire album for some relaxed moments this weekend (although just listening to this song will do that too)

I can appreciate some Floyd from time to time.
I actually know most of the songs in this video.
Pretty cool with the Oz movie.

And if you didn't, I did.
This song was SOTW some time ago (probably like two or three years ago already)

Totally not my cup of tea.
Maybe if they hired a new singer...

 ... I'm OK with your viewpoint... Anyway, a big day is coming - Hypocrisy new album 26/11, can't wait to hear it all, as "End of Disclosure" became recently my all-time favorite... Cheers,

Thanks for the reminder.
Noticed they had some new songs and wanted to check them out.
Haven't listened to them since Virus from 2005, but they're alright.
Based on the new songs, I'm going to give the album a few listens as well.
If you like Hypocrisy, you'll probably like another old favorite of mine as well (saw them on "More like this" when checking out Hypocrisy): Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh.
Especially the first two tracks, Cancer of the Soul and Brave New Hell
Peter Tägtgren from Hypocrisy was a member.
They also have (and had) Opeth and Katatonia members, kind of an all-star death metal band.

Best I can come up with is SCORNS, but I can't justify "no more" as "corn" ...
