Acclaimed Music Forums

And just like that, we've reached the first Monday of the month - time for some serious Random Rules! I believe things have cooled off around here after a hectic month or two (calm before the next storm?), so I'm hoping for some heavy participation to warm us up as the climate cools...

All you need to do is submit your list of 10 random songs - the next ten that come up via the random generator on your entire music library. We'll pull them all together then start the next part in a couple days (48 hours or 10 lists, whichever comes last), then start the elimination process to create the Random Rules Jukebox for November.

Start posting!
