The UKMix Music Challenge

[JimJim]

So, I think most of us here like to think we are fairly open minded to new music, but are we really?

Something I've been considering doing for a while, but never done. Here it is...

The UKMix Music Challenge - On a random day, go through each of the front pages of the four main genre topics (Rock, Dance, Urban, Pop) and listen to every song listed that you have never heard before, even if you don't think you'll like it.

I think I might attempt this now, sometimes the best way to find new songs you love is to dive in the deep end. The unfortunate truth is that a lot of time you have to sift through crud to find the good stuff.

Anyone else up for the challenge? ;)

I'm already doing this on a regular basis!

[JimJim]

I'm amidst it right now and it's really difficult and takes a long time!

So far, it's resulted in three downloads:
- Ed Sheeran // The A Team
- Ed Sheeran // Last Ones Standing [Example cover]
- The Feeling // Set My World On Fire

The worst was Limp Bizkit's 'Gold Cobra'

I think Pop and Dance (my usual spots) will be easier.

I was supposed to do this, but then I saw that Selena Gomez's new song features Pixie Lott. :( I have been playing it ever since.

Aww I want to do this! But my dialup won't allow me :(

But that sounds really fun, especially in the pop forum for me.

I can imagine you do Patrick, you have the most varied taste of any UKMixer!

[NothingFails]

I've done this before and found new artists I like, I'll do it later

Me too
But it's a great idea, you can discover a lot of new music.

I normally surf through different members' personal charts, and listen to the songs I haven't heard before.

Same, although there's always certain types of songs I'll avoid.

I try and do exactly this when I get the time... which I haven't right now! :(
