Six minutes of wrestling with the remaining alphabet but a good feeling when they roll in like that.

A similar path to me. I remember the B side of Blockbuster was particularly good. Just Googled it as my memory failed me. Need A Lot Of Lovin', a sort of early Def Leppard sounding track. Sheer Heart Attack is magnificent. Rock, pop, ukulele solo, you name it, it's in there. I'm so grateful I got to see them live before the arena and stadium days arrived. I even named my dog after one of the band.

How spooky. The top thirty UK singles chart for October 1972 popped up in my Facebook feed today. I recognised just about every song on there and still remember many of the lyrics. Yes, I know, Mouldy Old Dough didn't have too many. I bought a few of these compilations back then after I got over the initial shock of them being covers. Some renditions were quite good but many were awful. I think a TOTP LP was 50p at the time so that was an attraction. I still have a couple somewhere. Definitely one with a red swimsuited young lady. They definitely played a big part in my very early day discovery of music.

A real struggle today. Similar thoughts to James. It forced me into the choice as that second letter was causing me anxiety. 24 minutes.

Calmer attempt today. Eight minutes for the penny to drop.

Six minutes. Strangely wasn't immediately obvious to me after third guess but gradually sunk into place.

Quote from: captainkurtz on October 11, 2022, 05:58:19 PMListen to them all the time.  In contrast to others, I have neither the time nor patience to listen to new stuff.  I want the comfort of stuff I knew and grew up with.  Any 'new stuff' I listen to is invariably old stuff that I've just discovered or haven't heard before.

Thank you.

I shall plough this furrow alone 😂

Sometimes, because of some thought trigger or other, or sometimes seemingly for no apparent reason, a Rush song will come to mind and I feel the need to listen to that track with a degree of urgency. Yesterday 'Halo Effect' bubbled to the surface of my brain and stayed there until I managed to have a listen. I thought this thread might be worth a visit for such times.

Ten minutes, most of it pondering the last word. Tried a new first word, didn't work well today.

Very impressed that you solved it from there.

Wrong frame of mind I think today. Found it all a bit frustrating so should really have put in down and returned later. Instead committed the defeatist sin of re-using a failed letter just to make an actual word. Fluked it by picking up the first letter. Finding no pride in today's performance, so therefore tomorrow's start word is proud.

Very happy today. Getting the fourth letter on my first guess was a big help but it took about four minutes for my brain to rattle about with options until the penny dropped. I like this puzzle, probably because there's quite an element of luck as well as thought process, so I don't beat myself up too much on bad days.

Now that the spoiler risk it out of the way, here's hoping for a few days of non American vernacular or US spelling. Unless it's a Monday/Tuesday of Vapor/Trail.
