A year ago, users on the Radiohead subreddit worked together to create
the worst possible setlist. To my understanding, we have not done anything like this, so it would be worthwhile to partake in this thought experiment.
There are several factors that go into picking a horrible setlist. Some features that we should be aiming for include:
- Unpopular songs that neither fans or the general public would have any interest in hearing
- Jarring transitions between songs
- Songs that the selected lineup would have great difficulty in performing.
For this ungodly performance, I will be assuming that Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks are assembling for one miserable final show.
1) When I See You Again - Start off the set on a low note.
2) World Turning (but only the vest solo)
3) Stevie Nicks' long-winded "Gypsy" preamble
4) Lizard People
5) Never Going Back Again (but at 30 BPM)
6) Only Over You (but poorly sung by Stevie Nicks)
7) Born Enchanter (but poorly sung by Lindsey Buckingham)
8) Say You Will (forced audience sing-along)
9) Did You Ever Love Me (Mick Fleetwood and John McVie go to the front of the stage to perform a steel drum duet)
10) Lindsey Buckingham compares Fleetwood Mac to movie making
11) These Strange Times (Stevie Nicks bravely tackles Bekka Bramlett and Lucy Fleetwood's backing vocals)
12) Lindsey Buckingham compares his solo work to painting
13) Songbird (but it's a highly processed rendition on the Fairlight CMI)
14) Thoughts on a Grey Day (demonically recited in unison by Mick, John, Lindsey, Stevie)
15) Oh Diane
If you have any suggestions to make this worse, let me know. I'm also interested to see what horrible setlist you all come up with
