I think Craig is likely the one to put the playlist together and I just have to say... MAKE THE STORY SO FAR PLAY SMALL TALK. Thank you for putting it on there because every SINGLE time I see them I pray they play it. I'm not even sure they ever have. Doing the Lord's work, Craig!
Three groups of artists on this playlist: the ones I already knew I loved, the ones I wasn't super familiar with where I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed delving into some of their stuff; and the ones that I found painful to listen to. You can probably guess where those guys fell.
Based on what I know about your musical tastes, you've definitely been a huge fan of them for years, definitely.
