Ok, one of the guys of Colony 5 (an EBM/Synthpop band I absolutely love) posted a rather elaborate challenge on Facebook a few weeks ago.
Now, I’ve been meaning to do this challenge for a bit now, but I never really got around to it because my ISP apparently had some problems with Youtube. (vids not loading or loading as slow as on a 56k modem)
The problems seem to have been solved, so I can YT like a madman again. *yay!*
Click ‘Read More’ for the entire challenge, you’ll see it’s not an easy one.

There are no “rules” for this challenge… but we suggest a few guidelines…
* Start Day 1 on whatever day you start… go from there… you don’t have to catch up with anyone! Please only make one post per day… this makes the Challenge continue to grow and build long after the first 30 days!!!
* You can repeat bands during the challenge, but please try not to post the same songs by those bands!
* Please post the answers to your page as a link in your status and to this page as a link on our wall.
* Don’t think you have to do the challenge IN 30 days, just do ALL 30 days of challenges at your own pace!
* There are no right or wrong answers. Anything that begins to resemble an argument will cause comments to be disabled for all posts.
* Have as much fun doing this challenge as we had putting it together!
Cheers!
