I have been putting this off or a while but today I had some time to review all the possible 'out there' ideas from our discussion thread.
My idea (based on a suggestion by Mike - in fact it's not 'based', it's ripped-off from Mike!) is that we construct a piece of music that has three distinct movements. The idea is that we think differently about song structure; getting us out of the rigid 'intro/verse/chorus...' ideas that we all tend to have.
My suggestion would be that you keep the three parts of the symphony short (i.e., don't make each part 5 minutes long - we're not trying to make 'Close to the Edge' here!) Even though it's off the wall, we're still trying to appeal to the masses! But ultimately it's up to you.
Any other points or questions? Put them here. And if everyone is violently opposed to this idea, please tell me. My thinking here was that there's a possibility that we may all have more time during December to conquer this tricky task. My thinking may be skewed horribly!
