Thanks once again to our awesome community of fans and players for making the SongPop Community Challenge series a huge success! Last month, we released the second of our community-sourced playlists, entitled "Winter Wonderland"! Once again, we're coming to you and asking for your favorites.
This month, we want you to cut the midrange and drop the bass; the theme of the playlist is Best Basslines! The rules are simple:
1) Suggest up to ten songs to add to the playlist.
2) No timeframe or genre restrictions; we can have songs from the fifties through today, or songs that are rock, funk, jazz, disco, pop, electronic... your only limit is to name songs that you think have very memorable basslines!
3) To prevent the playlist from being taken over by any one artist, songs by the same singer or group will be limited to the five most popular choices.
Submissions to this community curated playlist will be accepted through January 25, 2014. After this date, the SongPop content curators will sift through the submissions and prep the playlist for release! We look forward to seeing what you come up with! Ready to get started? Simply post your favorites below!
