Best Spotify playlist?

[bullie]

There are a few Spotify playlists already for Glastonbury 2015 - which is the best and why? Factors to consider include tracks per artist, are they representative and is the band actually appearing.

I have the same question... I am actually listen to one and... or there are thing that I dont know or how come that it features SNOPP DOG, CHROMEO, PALMA VIOLETS and some other acts which are not announced. Are they actually ggoing? have they self confirmed?

It's run by Brave Sir Robin and it's the perfect pre-Glasto playlist. Highly recommended!

Sorry guys... I'm new to Spotify. How will I find this one you recommend as opposed to other not-so-good ones?

What do I search for?

Playlist radio, discover feature and this forum is good for that plus I tend to go through a lot of the acts on the lineup prior to adding them to my list. I just don't want a shit load of songs i'm not going to like. I don't go to gigs much anyway so I tend to go and see the artists i like and know anyway.

Cheers guys, I do my best. Spend waaay too much time on the playlist to be honest, but I love listening to it and finding new acts (or old acts' new stuff), and do find putting it together enjoyable (most of the time). I'm always blown away by the range and quality of the acts that GFL get to perform in those fields for our pleasure.

I'd happily follow another one if there were a good one one out there, but most are just 'Spotify's top tracks', or people's personal selections of artists. I want one that is (a) comprehensive in terms of acts (including the self-confirmed), and ( features the songs they actually play live. I don't want to get in to an act's old stuff then turn up and find they only actually play the new album. Plus acts are usually pretty good at knowing their own best stuff.

The only Snoop Dogg track is one on which Pharrell Williams sings, which he plays live regularly. If you look at the playlist you'll see it's amongst other Pharrell tracks. Chromeo pulled out last year and tweeted that an appearance this year was "looking good". Palma Violets self-confirmed. I post details of what's been added (and occasionally removed) in this thread.

All and any comments and suggestions welcome.

BSR, you do a fantastic job. Can I buy you a pint to say thank you? If you're going to the Efesters' meet at the Ridge and Furrow at 6pm on the Weds evening then stand by.

And wear your best suit of armour. No need to bring the wandering band of minstrels, though, as there'll be more than enough other musicians...

[Gnomicide]

I use BSR's marvellous creation and also create my own one. I give everything BSR has added a quick listen and if I like it, or think there's a chance I could grow to like it, it gets transferred to my own one.

I know I'm probably narrow minded but there are always a few I know are not for me, and never will be, after about 10 seconds.

Another fan of Brave Sir Robin. I listen to the playlist most days. I owe you a pint good Sir.

Maybe we should all shout him a pint? He has certainly earned it!
