Weekly Puzzles #5 - Music Edition (Part 1)

+1

RULES


There are three puzzles, each sets of seven clues. On the first day, I'll release one clue for each puzzle. The three puzzles range from easy to hard and you have to find the thing that connects the clues. If you think that you know the answer, put it in the comments and I'll tell you if you're right. If you want to figure the puzzles out yourself, don't open the comments. This is for fun. Clues will be added around 5:00 PM UTC/12:00 PM EST/9:00 AM Pacific daily. You can guess once after each clue is added and all guesses after that will be ignored.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Many people will remember the "Spamdemic" from a short while back. There were many people that were upset with the amount of blogs being posted when they were all very similar. I don't want that to happen again. Last time, everyone lost.

So please, please no more puzzle blogs (other than the people who I've given permission to). I want other people who have other ideas to be able to be seen.

Thanks.

I didn't even know that you made one. It's fine if you make one, but I think that you should maybe do it every other week or so, just to avoid clogging up the RUB page.

But I try to make mine with my regular alt future series, and every Sunday. At least you post it every Friday?
