Discussion Let's build the worst Muse setlist, BUT... (last part I promise)
So. We finally did it.
The end of the road.
This game was an absolute blast for me to play, and I hope it was for you too. I know for some of you it really wasn't, and boy did you let me know. But, after 26 daily parts over nearly a month, we finally built the worst possible Muse setlist.
As a reminder: No variations of songs were allowed. No "this song but...", no twists that make ok songs unlistenable, only real Muse songs, in the worst order possible to make the experience as unpleasant as possible. This was not a ‘worst song’ ranking or a ‘put shit songs together’ list. It was a list where songs wouldn’t transition well and sound out of place if played live.
Additionally: No repeated songs or remixes
And now, after all this hard work and multiple different ideas fighting for control, here is what we settled on:
1) Intro
2) (JFK)
3) Interlude
4) Get Up And Fight
5) Something Human
6) Knights Of Cydonia
7) Man With A Harmonica
8) Drones
9) Execution Commentary
10) Will Of The People
11) The 2nd Law: Isolated System
12) Overdue
13) Dig Down
14) Compliance
15) (Drill Sergeant)
16) Explorers
17) Who Knows Who
18) Propaganda
19) Falling Away With You
20) Psycho
21) Ghosts (How Can I Move On)
22) Feeling Good
23) Soldier's Poem
Encore
1) Save Me 2) We Are Fucking Fucked 3) Prelude
Total length: 1 hour 24 minutes
Now I know what you're thinking: "Damn, this setlist sucks. I wish I could listen to a playlist of it right now". Well guess what? You can! Kinda
I have compiled this whole list into a single Spotify playlist which you can listen to right here. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, the song Who Knows Who isn't actually available on Spotify. I've replaced it with a different song from The Streets from around the same time and with the same length of 3 minutes and 24 seconds, and that is unfortunately the best I could do.
For those of you who might be thinking: "But, why is that song I like in the setlist? Why is that song I hate not on the setlist?", I have a short answer and a long answer. The short answer is that you either didn't submit a comment when you had the time or didn't get enough upvotes to get added to the setlist, and for that I'm sorry. But the long answer is, the real worst Muse setlist was inside our hearts all along. This is only one version of the worst Muse setlist, and if you think you can make a better version, that is noble, and just as legitimate as this one. In the end, we are all the worst Muse setlist possible, but no variations of songs are allowed. And isn't that a beautiful world to live in?
TL;DR Here's the spotify link for the playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6KaGOeTWHpO4yAOQgfJ2l6?si=SCpkCO5jS3eHuO8J_HqD6Q
