Creating the Worst Possible Setlist
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:
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 |
You forgot Mick the Screecher.

Haha! This is fun. Here’s my set list.
Sisters of the Moon: dropped two keys and half-speed Skies the Limit Welcome to the Room…Sara Empire State (acoustic solo and vocal) When I See You Again Mystified —twelve minute extended version Easy Come Easy Go What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done for You Oh Diane Bermuda Triangle (sung by Stevie) World Turning (sung solely by Stevie) Never Going Back Again—slower and shoutier than ever before I Don’t Wanna Know—sung by Christine and John Rhiannon—Stevie at the piano What Makes You Think You’re the One—Lindsey on Kleenex boxes Never Make Me Cry—accompanied by the Trojan Marching Band |

What would you call this tour? A Non-Sequitir Soiree with Fleetwood Mac? The Show Should Not Go On tour? Oh Diane would probably be a highlight after all that, by the way. And I would happily sit through a live version of WISYA. Well, twenty-five years ago, maybe. When at least there was a dream left... |
Ha! I would actually pay good money to see this show simply because it would be so different from the same old, same old!
Love the initial set list. I would replace “Oh Diane” with “Come” - the worst Lindsey song in the Mac catalog and a fittingly dreary bookend to “WISYA.” |
