    Woo! Yeah, so I thought this might be a nice idea for the forum. Every week, one of us takes it in turns to make a playlist. Feel free to either keep it on one instrument, or mix it up. Be imaginative! Others then Submit their scores (and percentages if they wish) here, and we see who gets the highest total. Some rules I suppose (feel free to refine these):
    1. Playlists go up Sunday and scores stop on Saturday. Playlist submitter is chosen during the week.
    2. Scores which are submitted are the scores you stick with. No resubmitting! Otherwise it's just a silly war.
    3. Maybe try to get a theme for your playlist. Makes things a little more interesting.

    Also I was thinking, submit your scores in spoilers, and don't read other people's scores until your own are up? That way last person to submit doens't have an advantage

    So, yeah, to start off with I picked 3 random Rock Band 1 songs (played on RB2). All on expert (specify if using hard or medium!), all on drums.


    EDIT: Crap! I just realised that smile like you mean it is DLC and that the killers track that came with RB1 is actually When you were young. Apologies, do the rest of the challenge though!
    Rock Band 1 Random Playlist!

    1. When You Were Young- The Killers
    2. Reptilia- The Strokes
    3. Orange Crush- R.E.M

    My scores, all first time gos (no peeking 'til you've posted!)
    1. When You Were Young- The Killers 145,175 98%
    2. Reptilia- The Stroke 166,660 99%
    3. Orange Crush- R.E.M 203,550 99%

    So who's up to the challenge? Get posting!
