Scoring and rules adjustments to keep this game competitive:
The remaining 2 clues will be worth 5 points each. Cornfed Hick is not allowed to guess.
From this point forward, Cornfed Hick is not allowed to post any guesses in this game until my clues have been posted for 24 hours. After that, he may post guesses for clues which others have guessed at.
I am trying to generate some interest in this game and chance for other players. I'm not running this game if it's just me making clues and CFH guessing them. I've already redone the rules and clues once today trying to give someone else a chance. I'm not trying to be anti-CFH, but this is no fun for anyone but him right now.

Fair enough. Hopefully more people will join.

I see the ghost of navigators.
I'm just terrible at this game so I've only been posting when I feel I actually came up with a decent guess.
Two days left, two songs left. I'll give the third clues for the remaining songs now. Everybody but Cornfed Hick has two days to guess these. (Don't worry about CFH, he'll still be substantially in the lead at round's end.)
These songs are now worth 3 points each (not 5 as noted above, I've decided that's a mistake).

A:
B: Playing this song in a Canadian park, a mob of guitarists attempted to set a Guinness World Record for "Largest Guitar Ensemble".

Deep Purple, "Smoke On The Water" is confirmed to be wrong.
#164
A: Generic artist name.
B: Clarifying the above, the song title is a generic artist name.

"Take the 8:15 into the city ... If your train's on time..."
B: Playing this song in a Canadian park, a mob of guitarists attempted to set a Guinness World Record for "Largest Guitar Ensemble".
Mosh was on track with "Smoke On The Water", in the sense that it's an easy song. Three chords in fact: C - B-flat - F - rinse and repeat endlessly.
C: The key word in "B" is "Canadian". The guy who wrote this song also wrote a different famous song which was not about a Canadian.
Song by a Canadian, about a non-Canadian is "American Woman" by the Guess Who, written by Randy Bachman.

Another rules change - there are no rules!
Quite simply, I'm taking the "competition" aspect out of the game so we can just have fun. I'm no longer keeping any overall scoreboard. Cornfed Hick is not banned from guessing. I'm just gonna post 10 new clues every Thursday and keep score round by round (every Thursday starts a new game). Anyone who gets a clue right gets the full points for it - no more bonus points or only giving the points to the first. Second clues for each song will be posted Sunday morning, and third clues on Tuesday morning.
With a plan of "less game, more fun", I hope some more of you will join us. You can change your guess any time you like, and "piggybacking" on the correct anwers will still get you points. I'll also try to help a bit when guesses are bad... for example, if someone guesses Depeche Mode again, I'll be nice enough to point out that DM rarely gets played on US rock radio. I can't explicitly confirm right or wrong until I award points, but where it's reasonable I'll help you stay on the right track.
