Playlist Challenge 1 - Here come the Giants

[Ellie Aquitaine]

Challenge - to create a Playlist where you must have 15 songs. Each song must meet at least one of the following criteria. You can only have two songs by any artist in the list.

Don't worry if someone uses the same song as you, but the aim is to create a playlist you'd be happy to listen to and share with others.

Here are the challenges:

1. A song by They Might Be Giants
2. A song that contains the word "Giants"
3. A song that contains either the word "Orange" or "charcoal"
4. A song by an artist that shares a surname with a player on the Giants senior list (band titles and band members count)
5. A song by a band/artist that has performed at the AFL Grand Final this decade
6. A song by an artist who has performed at the Virgin Sound Stage at Spotless in 2015/2016

12. A song from a band/artist you have seen live
13. A song from the last album you bought or the actual last song you bought (digital/disc or vinyl)
