Make a playlist for an artist at Glastonbury

[Sweep]

Right... the point of this thread isn't to suggest what an artist should be playing, but to be helpful resource for those that don't know a particular artist very well, and would like to become more familiar with songs they'll likely play.

For instance, both Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young have huge catalogues - if someone in the know could compose a playlist out of songs that have ocurred a lot in their recent setlists, this would help those of us who aren't that familiar but nonetheless would like to see them.

Here's one I made earlier: Animal Collective Spotify Playlist

That's based on the last tour. There are two notable omissions that aren't on Spotify, that is Slippi off their album Here Comes The Indian, and Comfy in Nautica from Panda Bear's solo album. Otherwise, it is a fairly comprehensive idea of the tracks they are likely to play

/edit for a useful resource: setlist.fm is good for current tour stats

I am particularly interested in playlists for Neil Young, The Specials, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Bruce Springsteen and Blur, if anyone has the time to rustle on of them up

Nice one. Great idea, I hope someone else takes up the cause and they put some more artists up. I am off out now but I will have a listen later. Cheers.

OK, never tried sharing a spotify playlist before but let's see if this works.

Thought I'd try to tempt a few people to the Jazz World on Friday night.

Jens Wildman has done a Neil Young playlist recently on the NY thread which is classic !

Hello All, I've done alot of useful reading on here in recent weeks and not much posting so time to give something back ha, cheers!

Here's some Nick Cave for you.

I got into him about a year ago after being blown away by Murder Ballads. In a very general sense I suppose his music can be split into two groups; the rockin' and romantic, but even the later, which I prefer, can have a darkness to it - such is the nature of this mad fu*ker!

I have mainly focused on his slower stuff here as its really instant and easy to get into, he may not play all of this, wanting to rock the crowd and all, but if you don't already know him its a good intro into his power as an artist.

I personally bloody love him and can't wait to see his Sunday set. Gutted to be missing Glasvegas and Roger McGuinn but thats festivals. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

All I need now is The Specials and Blur and I'll be set!

Sorry it took so long: here's a Springsteen one, pretty much all taken from live albums and a few others from his newer albums.
