This seemed to get some response from the old thread, so lets do a new one!
There was a desire for some ground rules, so lets try these on for size:
1. Never talk about Fight Club 
2. Each post contributes at most 1 bar to the progression. Multiple posts are fine, but there must be at least one post from another person before you contribute more.
3. Notation: (Most of use know this, but just to be clear)
| B | = 1 bar of B
| B - Db | = 2 beats of B, 2 beats of Db
| B / Db F# | = 2 beats of B, 1 of Db, 1 of F#
Lowest Note/Root/Qality, for instance:
B/C7 is a C7 with the 7 (B) in the bass
4. Each post needs to have the full progression quoted at the bottom, helps with not having to peace it together all the time.
5. Key of the progression should be left open. There is no assumtion that the first chord is the Key, the key should come by analasys of the progression.
6. This should be fun, so please refrain from trash talking contributions... though it is FINE to not like others contributions, just be nice.
--------------
Feel free to talk about the rules in the thread. Feel free to start another thread at any time.
I would like another to throw down the first chord.
(Weeeee, here we go.....) )

A little organization does seem to be required on the playground...I guess we're assuming 4/4 tempo but can we change that, if deemed appropriate ?
My suggestion is a chord that combines both the Maj. & min. 7ths, so naming it is not easy. (hope the harmony police aren't watching !)
E maj.7/b7
6th string/0(open)pitch=E
5th string/2(2nd fret)pitch=B
4th string/1(1st fret)pitch=Eb
3rd string/1(1st fret)pitch=G#
2nd string/3(3rd fret)pitch=D
1st string/0(open)pitch=E
[note: for dropped-D tuning, 1st string/2(2nd fret)pitch=E]
l Am l E maj7/b7 l
(do I make the cut, coach ?)

Hmmh... beginning to sound pretty atmospheric.
Hope I describe this chord correctly:
F13#11
Voicing: On the piano, the left hand would play a low F, and the right hand would play the following notes (going from low to high)
E flat
G (an optional note)
B natural
D
Hope it makes sense.

Was that F#13 with a fifth, or F13 with a sharped fifth?
You can also think of it as an Eflat maj7 over a bass of F, except that if you think of it this way the fifth of the Eflat chord is sharpened.

Sidebar for guitarists
Playing this as a series of slow arpeggios I was able to approximate Tusker's F13#11 but, to let it ring fully, I had to drop the high E string to D (& I hate altered tunings).
Surprisingly this not only allowed me to play that chord & also its first inversion at the third fret but it made my hybrid E chord easier !
Y' learn somethin' new every other day ! (refer back to my first post to see new fingering---well, I tried, but reediting to represent the fingering was more trouble than it would be worth---I trust players will figure it out; if you need help send me a "PM")
Note on reading chord names
I know we can work out variations on these ideas but, lest confusion creep in via accidental misquoting, my suggestion for the second measure isn't "Emaj7" followed by "B7".
It's a single E chord using both the maj7 & the flatted 7 ("Emaj7/b7").
Anyone who finds this "E hybrid 7" too kinky can sub a plain Edom.7 or Emaj7---or even plain E ( & let the "soloist" select either, or both 7ths)--- w/only a slight loss of "atmosphere".
[ Am l Emaj7/b7 l Am l F13#11 l Bbmaj7 ]
Now back to the game...

If anyone wants to have a look, a `friend` of mine took a stab at an arrangement of the first thread.

Alrighty, then! Carry on!

Hi,this is my first post, though I've been watching things for a while.
I'm a retired bandleader hoping to keep in as a hobby & this looks interesting.
Comments so far: this might make a good film cue, as Tusker said, "atmospheric".Those two altered chords are nice touches.
One of the most interesting parts of this is trying out variations, then coming back to find someone else has already added another chord, sending me back to the "lab"!
Anyhow, after the Bbmaj7, I nominate Aminor.
So, if I'm following correctly,
l A l Emaj7/b7 l Am l F13#11 l Bbmaj7 l Am l

Me again !
So far we have (I think)
l Am l Emaj7/b7 l Am l F13#11 l
l Bbmaj7 l Am l
I think it's time for a good diminished chord, so I say
Ddim.(add9)
giving us
l Am l Emaj7/b7 l Am l F13#11 l
l Bbmaj7 l Am l Ddim.(add9) l

Please re-read previous posts.
If there's some confusion, let's clear it up.

Well, no one's been in lately.
Maybe they're waiting for the chord confusion to "resolve" itself ( :rolleyes: , my little joke).
While we wait, it looks like we're up to 8 measures.
---Should we extend?
---Go into a repeat?
---(perhaps with slightly different chords or extensions?)
---(perhaps a fourth higher?)
D.B.Walker?
Tusker?
Me?

I don't MEAN to add more than one chord. But one of them is already there, and I intend the change to be quick, so I'll indicate it with a __
So;
Amin|Emaj7/b7|Amin|F13#11|Bbmaj7|Amin|Ddim.add9|
A6|Cmaj7| G9aug5__Amin
Whitefang

The thing about jotting all this down, and then trying to type it all out is that my FINGERS keep tripping over one another! Please, won't someone with better keyboard dexterity lay out what we have so far?
And I promise to type lots slower as to avoid getting this all fumblebucked again!
Whitefang
Are you drunk ?! Illiterate ? Just bent on rambling & "expressing" yourself despite what anyone else is trying to do ?
I'd hoped that this would be at least an entertaining diversion & was pleased to find some non-run-of-the-mill entries (like the Tuskerific 13th) but, Whitefang, you are an annoying bore.
Sorry to be so blunt in public but you are just not paying any attention.

First of all, I'm glad no one else added to the list, because I'm not happy with my last add. I think it to be a bad contribution, an ability seemingly lacking in others I've had the pleasure of meeting here.
And the revised addition goes against one of my "rules of thumb" insomuch as it can be considered a "biblical chord"!
E7/Vll7 for the guitar players out there.
I have no idea how that translates for keyboard.
Am|Emaj7/b7|Am|F13#11|Bbmaj7|Am|Ddim(add9)|A6|Cmaj7|E7/Vll7__Am|
"Whitefang", the myopic lush!!
