- Post subject: 1-hour artist challenge
|
Ladies & Gents,
some friends and I have invented ourselves a little game. That I thought some people around here might enjoy as well.
It's called the One hour artist challenge.
The gist of it is this:
Take an artist that you know very well, that has a catalog that is at least somewhat extensive. (more than 3 albums, preferably.)
Create a playlist that is no more than 12 songs long, and no more than 1 hour in length.
(Less is ok, but must be long enough to be considered album length)
Rules:
1. playlist must be built with tracklist in mind. (build it so that is flows cohesively as a good album would)
2. playlist must include a deep enough tracklist so that a big fan of the band would enjoy said playlist. (for example, if I were to create a Pearl Jam playlist and only included Jeremy, Black, Daughter, etc., this would bore a Pearl Jam fan and would be no different from what you would guess would be on a store bought greatest hits.
3. playlist must include enough well-known/popular songs so that it would not bore a novice listener of the band.
[The combination of items 2 and 3 creating a situation where the playlist could be enjoyed by all, you could put it on at a social gathering without turning a group off of the music, but a more novice listener might enjoy the music and even learn some great new tunes they haven't been exposed to.)
If anyone is interested in joining me, they are fun to create on spotify as they can be shared and even made collaborative. Let me know and I'll be happy to share any playlists, as would I like to see yours.
currently I am working on the following lists:
In process:
radiohead (this might not be possible)
Pearl Jam
Completed:
The Smiths

Dookie, Insomniac, and Nimrod are my 3 favourite Green Day albums. American Idiot might be more ambitious, but if you're looking for something short, fast, and fun, then you really can't get much better than Green Day's 1994-1997 trilogy of albums.

Ha! this is basically the entire point of this exercise! I like green day, but really don't know them very well.. now I have a playlist that I can listen to, where I have some hits I know to fall back on, but I don't think I know 4 of these 6 songs, so I'm bound to grow into something new that I like!
