I mean my idea is very much linked to an existing thread I'm part of.

So maybe a bounty for creating a community song as a shared project. I'm not sure how the reward split would exactly work as you would have to work as a group of 3-5 people potentially.

But you would have to create an original song as part of team and post the song in your social media.

It would need rules such as

group users as a team. Either choice or randomly assigned to those that accept bounty

Have a team name and song name.

Must finish and submit a song to a deadline.

Link to social media.

Could be an original song or even a theme like a just about theme tune.

£5000 bounty reward. :)

What is your go-to, karaoke night-slaying track and why.

I used to go to karaoke a few times a week when I was young and wild. I don’t have a huge range, but the songs I can sing I can really sing. I had a few I would pull out which, depending on the vibe/audience in order to bring the house down.

Could be fun to compare everyone’s number 1 karaoke default.

Draw your fav album on paint and have everyone else guess what it is!

A slightly more boring suggestion would be what your top album of 2023 was.

I often go on and on here about songs from my own country that I find special, which most people here probably never even heard of. That got me thinking: there's all these songs I'm lucky enough to know because I was born in a specific country, and at the same time there's probably so many amazing songs out there I don't know and never had a chance to experience because I'm not from there or don't know the language. So my bounty suggestion would be:

What's the best non-English song you'd recommend to someone?

Lanah Tyra's avatar

Oh I love this! We have some really good bands in Hungary no one knows about and if their albums were in English they would easily fill a stadium.

avrona's avatar

All I know is Omega (who doesn't) but there's probably so much more I should be exposed to.

Lanah Tyra's avatar

Omega is great! From modern bands if you like punk-rock then I recommend Tankcsapda.

I love these posts!

  1. Suggest 5 different music varieties you can tolerate and why for $3

  2. What song, when you listened to the first time, made you cry and why for $3

  3. What is your personal favorite song and why for $4

  4. Pick a band album cover and re-design it for $10

  5. Pick a song chorus that explains a day in your life for $4

  6. What band/artist did you fall in love with because of a song/theme used in a movie/tv show for $3

  7. If you could get two bands/artists to work together, tell us why for $6

Just a few, I have loads, but I don't want to create a massive list so others can't enter this because they have the same ideas :)

Go people go!

I had an idea earlier today, which two musicians would you love to see duet together? They can be from any era, don’t necessarily have to be around at the same time. And what 2 songs will they be mashing together? It’d be quite fun to see what everyone comes up with!

  • Which was the first concert you have been to

  • What is your dream festival line-up

  • Which band would you like to see who doesn't tour anymore

  • If you play an instrument what is it and what encouraged you to pick it up

  • Share a piece of music / lyrics you have wrote

  • What is the furthest you have travelled to see your favourite band live

  • Those who remember the MSN era, we used to put lyrics as our status to reflect our moods. What lyrics describes you in general or your mood the best today.

  • Show us a band who went through style change and you still think they are amazing

  • Your neighbour is playing a song loudly at 1am and you have to get up early for work. Is there a song they could get away with waking you up with and you would join the party?

Horror and Cats's avatar

I really like that last one haha. Doesn’t matter who is playing Blow the Whistle, I’ll be twerking up to the window like “me too?”

Jenna 's avatar

Which one hit wonder song has been your favorite?

What is one song you can’t stand to hear and why?

What song is your favorite to sing along with?

Which genre of music is your favorite?

If you could go to one musicians concerts for the rest of your life, who would it be?

S

What is your favorite alternative version or recording of a popular song?

I'm looking forward to future music-related bounties, where participants get creative with real instruments. It would be great to see a challenge that encourages creating original music, complete with a video or even a full-blown music clip.

For a more accessible option, how about a bounty where we share links to music covers that we think surpass the original songs? Participants could explain what makes these covers stand out and why they believe they're superior to the originals. It could be a great way to discover some hidden gems and explore different interpretations of popular music (this is my technique for treasure hunting at Soundcloud).

Underrated but the best songs that is going around in some country but not worldwide should be Fun as everyone can share what song is famous at their place that a world should listen to. So we can have multi-language interesting music in our communities that we can actually add ourselves in our personal favorite song list.

Stella's avatar

Maybe something like 'if you could only listen to one artist for the rest of your life... who would you pick?'

would be interesting to see how people choose. based on sentimentality? the artists' range? or something else

Most bizarre/weird musical instruments.

What's the greatest music collaboration to NEVER happen? (That you wish it would happen or could have happened)

ALSO - hey it might even have happened but not released? & artists / bands can be living or not)

Rich's avatar
