For this week’s playlist I’m putting together what I call “The Ultimate Setlist.” This is a concept that my friend Mike came up with back when people still made mix CDs. The idea is to give someone a starting place in a band’s discography, basically a jumping off point to the artist’s best songs and biggest hits. The rules are fairly simple: arrange the playlist in such a way that emulates the perfect setlist for the band, and make sure that the playlist comes in under 80 minutes (that was the length for CD-Rs — remember those, from another life?). This week, I’m jumping in with Jimmy Eat World and you can find my picks on Apple Music and Spotify.
To simplify things, I decided to modify the original rules a bit: I instituted a 22 song maximum. 20 song main set and a two song encore. I think this is the ultimate setlist for Jimmy Eat World, and I think this is a killer playlist if you’re looking to get into the band. But, I’d also love to hear what I missed. What would your “Ultimate Setlist” from Jimmy Eat World be? Hit the quote bubble on this post to come join me in the forums to let me know.
