I was tortured about the obscure option because I love Panic so much. I think unfamiliarity of some of the other cuts won the day!

A friend sent me this link a few days ago - choosing songs for this game just further drives the point home for me.....

That’s really funny

[goosehd]

Has anyone else picked songs for every week/theme?

[Matt]

Haven’t even started thinking yet. I’ll have a drink tonight and get into it.

@GraemeE add in the “and skate everyday for 8 hours” and this perfectly sums it all up. (Minus the 15k debt. Course IH ain’t helping that situation much hahah)

[mclaincausey]

I picked mine, but they already have changed once and probably will again.

[Tago Mago]

I'm just gonna pick whatever pops into my head without dwelling on it too much. Also, getting the submissions in nice and early guarantees that nobody else will steal my pick, however unlikely that may be

[mclaincausey]

^^Both great points

I've tried to refrain but I can't help but look ahead and plot

[ARNC]

I'm still calibrating the balance between what I'd choose for me and what I'd choose for the rest of you. I have a few ideas that I will surely forget several times and maybe remember again before I need to submit.

[T4920]

I've opted to stick to my favourite songs in each category. My taste can be a little eclectic, and I'd be surprised if many of them turned out to be genuine people pleasers, but I'll follow my heart til the end..

[ARNC]

@T4920 Eclectic is good. I'd say the same about my taste - my friends might use a less complimentary word!

I'll definitely choose stuff I like or that means something to me, but if other folks like it too that could help with scores, especially as I'm a round behind!

This is so much fun. Thank you @mclaincausey for coming up with it. Really enjoyed the first round. Congrats to @goosehd, love that track, remember when the unplugged session aired and we watched it on TV.

Greatest news for me was Cactus. Don’t know how and why, but I was complete unaware of them. Awesome stuff!

And, my mistake about the origine of that ‚Crazy‘ song is certainly inexcusable. Mixing up Gnarls Barkley with Willie Nelson, omg. I‘m open to harsh punishments like getting all points of round 1 retroactively denyed.

In an deplorable effort to get me out of this mess I‘m sharing here a playlist into which I‘ve shoveled all kinds of covers during the past year or two. Hopefully not making it worse, and some of you finding one or the other interesting.

@endo So glad you are digging the Cactus discovery, they are one band I would have loved to have seen live in the early 70’s!

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey the love of Panic is going to play a factor throughout this whole affair. Haha. However, only you and I and any other potential fanatics may pickup on the connections.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 agreed! All choices of mine are genuine loves I have. Perhaps slightly culled in an attempt to hit a broader target audience….that attempt seemingly fell quite flat in that first round.

[mclaincausey]

They have some mighty fine instrumentals too @Mizmazzle

[goosehd]

I’m stumped…who is Gommel? What’s the user name here?

[scooter]

I've been all over the place, this round. Being a lover of all things guitar, I started out choosing a couple flat out shred fests, by 2 of my favorite virtuosos (Buckethead, Vai). But, it just didn't seem right to submit pieces that favor one instrument so heavily. So, I scrapped both. I managed to recall one that has always resonated with me. But, the second has been a revolving door. I think, I may be putting too much thought into this...
