The Challenge Factory discussion

I'm a huge fan of music. I listen to just about every type there is, and I figured it would be pretty cool to incorporate my two favorite things. So, the music genre challenge was born.

This is an unlimited challenge. Your start date is whenever you sign up until whenever you feel like you're done.

There are a few ways you can do this :

OPTION 1: Spell-it-out - the genre AND an artist/group who fits the genre.

Example :

P - Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
O - O'Dell, Scott - Island of the Blue Dolphins
P - Paper Towns - John Green

And then choose an artist and do the same.

OPTION 2 : Finding an author or character who has the same first name as an artist who fits the genre, AND finding an author or character who has the same last name as an artist who fits the genre

Example :

Genre - Country
Artist - Reba McEntire
Books - Red Dragon by Thomas Harris : Character named Reba McClane. Myra McEntire has same last name.


GENRE LIST :
**Note : I've included some examples of artists. You DO NOT have to choose from this list. However, if it's a uncommon band/artist, please provide a link to a song of theirs (Youtube) in your post.**

-Country : (Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Johnny Cash, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill)
-Pop : (Michael Jackson, Carly Rae Jepsen, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Maroon 5, Usher, Gotye)
-Rock : (Linkin Park, Green Day, The Offspring, Shinedown, Evanescence, Five Finger Death Punch, Foo Fighters)
-Classic Rock : (AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Van Halen)
-Metal : (Kittie, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Slipknot, Pantera, Korn, Megadeath)
-R&B : (Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, Boyz II Men, Marvin Gaye, Prince)
-Rap : (Eminem, Dr. Dre, Lil' Wayne, Drake, Ludacris, Missy Elliot, Run DMC, Eve)


These are not the only genres you can use. There are many I didn't name (Hip-Hop, Screamo, etc), so please feel free to include your own!

LEVELS
Shuffle : 1-2 genres
Nano : 3-4 genres
Classic : 5-6 genres
Touch : 7+ genres
