Sorry I'm late--materials took a bit longer to prepare than I thought.
------------------------------------------------------

The Skinny:
1. For this contest, you will use at least four (4) rock song titles per comic.

2. However, the song titles must come from these groups: LED ZEPPELIN, RADIOHEAD, JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, KING CRIMSON, THE POLICE.

3. For your convenience, I am providing this master list.
Please use only song titles from the master list.*

4. I'm familiar with these groups and songs, but it will help others if you set off your song titles 'In Quotes' <--like that. You can leave off the parenthetical titles if you want or use them separately--damn you, Thom!

Hints & Allegations:
1. Try to use as little extra wording as possible--the perfect comic would contain at least 6 song titles (or 7 if you use one as your comic title) and zero extra words--while still making sense.
2. Series are welcome if you're up to it.
3. Be creative

Things Left Unsaid:
1. If the "master list" link above does not work for you for some reason, send me a pm with your email address. I'll send you an MSWord.doc of the list.
2. Since there's a lot of info (and hoops) to go through, FINAL JUDGEMENT will be Tuesday evening.

*The master list is not a complete discography. I culled titles from regular issue albums and CDs, boxed sets, and two Radiohead EPs.

I'm sorry. I can't hear the rules over Robert Plant's shrill melismatic wailing.

P.S. I meant CC210. I can't keep numbers straight. Aw, hell, I barely know what day it is today.

It's Tuesday, right?

Maybe, but I was trying to stimulate creativity in other ways by limiting your vocabulary. So far, the comics are of high quality. Still...

Rules Amendment:

0. Use ANY song title you want for the next 36 hours of this contest.
0.1. Set the title off in quotes/italics if you have other text/dialogue.
0.1.5. Work in songs from the master list, too.
