The rules for creating and submitting to an Album-a-Day:
- It must be written, performed, recorded, post-produced, etc. all in one contiguous 24-hour period (preferably with no sleep break in there).
- It must be at least 20 minutes or 30 songs. (many short songs tend to work better than long songs which drag on forever, trust me.)
- Your band may have multiple participants, but they should not work on different songs simultaneously. (So just one song being worked on at a time.)
- No ideas from before the chosen day! This means covers or reinterpretations are not allowed.
- No out-takes! If you start a song, finish it and put it on the album.
I don’t think that’d be hard to do if you don’t care about quality too much; a buddy and I quickly churned out songs for our band in my youth. They should have a contest to see how many listenable songs can be created within 24 hours.
I’m afraid to listen to any of the submissions.

Exhibit A: House of the Rising Sun, by the Plague.
And this little ditty recorded just a few days ago — but could have been recorded back in junior high.
