Anyone who uses Apple Music is aware of their ‘Essentials’ playlists they create, which is a playlist of the essential songs for someone to listen to to get the feeling of the best a band or artist has to offer. So I came up with the idea of having a ‘Top 15 Essentials’ thread. Post your favorites’ 15 essential songs you’d show someone trying to get into that band. Don’t agree with someone’s list? Post your own and explain why. Feel free to discuss your playlist as well.

This isn’t ranking! It’s songs to introduce people to a band. Like if you wanted to get someone into Radiohead, what 15 songs would you give them?
