December 5, 2018: Band Member Playlists

Hi Brad and Brad, and Kate!

I am stoked that we'll get to experience two straight weeks of Kate Cotton!  The second week at the expense of Lyons, but if that's what it takes to get an extra week of "Single Kate Theory" then it's a sacrifice worth making.  After listening to Episode 69, I watched the music video for Jeremy for the first time in a while.  It is frustrating to think something like this is still very much a threat in today's society, whether it's self inflicted, acted upon others or both.  I can only hope someday we'll live in a society where we won't have to live in fear of this.

One thing that was brought up during Episode 69 (I am trying to get in the number 69 as many times, to make Blazek laugh on the inside), was that Lyons had made playlists specific to lyrics or music wrote by each of the band members. 

 

This prompted me to do the same, because I hadn't really broken down contributions by each of the band members until listening to your podcast.  I'll spare the exhaustive breakdown, but I did go down every studio album, Lost Dogs and Merkin Ball and made lists for the "Core Four" which excludes the drummers.  I then had to pair down Eddie and Stone's lists, since they were much larger than Jeff and Mike's.  Here's the method in which I did so.

1.  Eddie's list shortened, by any song that overlapped with Stone, Jeff or Mike since his list was nearly double of any of the other band members.

2.  Stone's was shortened, if any of his songs overlapped with more than just himself and Eddie, this put him just under Jeff's total.

3.  Jeff and Mike's are left without pairing down

Here's what I came up with and have made playlists on Spotify for each.  I have yet to listen to each of these, but will find the time to do so over the next week.  Anything with an asterisk denotes both music and lyric credits to the band member.
