[D] With some help from our readers, the A.V. Club made another list of 25 songs, and we're
inviting bands into our office to cover them.
Once a band has played a song, it gets crossed off the list, so the later a band comes in,
the fewer songs they'll have [F#m] to choose from.
This is A.V.
Undercover, Series [D] 2.

The other one's [N] all made us uncomfortable.
