@Pandora I enjoyed "ALL" of the Playlist challenges...But I must say that Challenge #31: Time Capsule Playlist ‌‌⏳‌was my favorite overall...It gave a brief description of our past...Something personal to us all...

Take care and GOD bless...

@Pandora, you should have a Playlist to listen to while speedcubing.

@Pandora, why not a Halloween Playlist Challenge? With all the horror movies that have been made, there is a lot of chiller music out there that goes with those spooky movies. Just a thought...

Take care and GOD bless...

What’s a playlist challenge?????

[MariaPandora]

Hi @Val_K !

Sometimes we post challenges to make playlists about certain topics or with certain characteristics so you can share them with us in the community or with anyone else you'd like.

You can follow the links to the challenges on the original post of you'd like.

I haven't been able to do it, but I think one of the best ones is the Time Capsule Playlist challenge.

Please feel free to check them out!

Really diggin’ the Playlist Challenge! Our favorite is #39

Artist Discovery Playlist 

The title is self explanatory but it’s a great way for the Pandora Community to listen to new artists and their music!

Thanks for these awesome outlets Pandora! 😀

Love to hear that you’re enjoying the playlist challenges. I agree, the artist Discovery Playlist challenge is such a fun way to find new music and fresh sounds.

If you have any ideas for new challenges, don't hesitate to share. Thanks for being a part of the community and sharing your favorites with us! 🎶

I have some suggestions for playlist themes.

1. "Sampled" songs playlist - It would be songs that use other songs in them, whether that be a small repeated part for them main melody, or just in one part. The playlist would consist of the original songs after each of the songs that "sample" them.

2. Songs that sound similar, because the melody of the newer might have been taken or was taken from the other song.

3. Mad Libs - You pair song titles together, to make silly lines (sentences or phrases).

4 Tribute To Artists Who've Passed - It could be one playlist for multiple artists or band member, for a particular year, or because of something like the Coronavirus. It could also be a playlist dedicated to one artists or band member.

5. Family Tree - You pick a band or artist that's had line-up changes, to where members were either original members and went to other bands or came from other bands, and might've even gone to other bands afterward. Then make a playlist of songs that the members have played on in those other bands. The playlist name should have the band or artist name (which the members came to or went from) and some wording to indicate the relation. It gives you a chance to be clever with it.

6. Two (or more) Themes Combined - Examples: Soothing Songs + Instrumental + Bass (guitar), Pool or other Swimming Party + Electronic + Lyrics about good times, or Road trip songs/songs about the road and either driving or riding + Cover songs • The songs would need to meet each criterion/individual theme, to make the overall theme.

7. Soundtrack For A Book That You've Read

Hi @MadmanOnWheels , these are great suggestions!

I would really enjoy the Tribute to artists one or the Family tree one, I have some groups that I really love that changed their lineup and then they created their own bands and they are amazing too, and in several genres so that would be really fun!

Thanks for sharing!

Cool deal 

It would be nice to see it come to fruition, so I can enter mine, and see others' entries as well. And I appreciate it. Thanks
