In this topic I shall sporadically upload riffs/melodies for you to guess. Put your guesses in spoiler tags. If anyone else has an instrument and a way to record it, feel free to post your own. If you do, please make sure the recording is of relatively good quality.

song 1 - Yanni got this on IRC. "Shallow" by Porcupine Tree.

song 2 - No-one got this. :( "Acid Food" by Mogwai.

Song 2 sounds ridiculously like maudlin of the Well. Maybe from the first album, to which I'm not privy.

But I could also be terribly wrong.

I would love to be the unbiased third party host who would bring a broad range of popular music to the table.
