Forget beating Through the Fire And Flames or Green Grass and High Tides on Expert, The Bladder Of Steel Award in Rock Band 2 is by far the biggest challenge rhythm games have ever posed to players.

Because not only do you have to be amazing at the game's most difficult songs, but to unlock the achievement players have to play the entirety of the Endless Set List 2, which, despite its name, actually goes on for six-and-a-half hours.

Not only that, but you have to do it all in one sitting too, without pausing or failing even one of the songs. You can cheat a little bit by returning to the dashboard of the console and pausing the game that way, but no self-respecting achievement hunter would cheese the system like that.
