It must just be Clear Channel here in the US then.

Same here, it's just got a bit more staying power for me.

So by that logic, at 2pm Irish time it would be what, 7 AM? Am I getting that wrong? What time is it there now? At time of writing in Ireland it's just gone 10pm...

You're 6 hours ahead of me, I'm CST. It was noon for me when you penned the writings I quoted at the time.

OK, so you're not in San Fran then I guess. You live in a country with too many time zones. I can't keep up!

For the last two days I've been humming the riff to "Smoke on the water".

Purple FTW!

Nobody wants this to drag on forever, so you have till midnight tomorrow Irish time (it's nearly that now here) to vote, after which I'll either declare a winner or a draw. If the latter, we can have a rematch. Anyone ideas for the next one, or do you want me to pick it?

Now if this was between "Smoke On the Water" and "Into the Void" or "Iron Man" this would be a no-brainer.

Paranoid - 6
Smoke On the Water - 7
