Sublime or ridiculous?
All channels talk about filling the repertoire with "bangers" - song that are recognisable, and have broad appeal across the world and different age groups. And audiences truly enjoy them - leave out "Brown-Eyed Girl" at your own peril. I've noticed how pub entertainers all play the same songs, and I've sometimes played bingo - ticking them off the checklist. Last night I watched someone play 12 of these core songs in a row, and it was all so predictable. Standards are useful, but I can't help but feel that a set only composed of bangers becomes a caricature of a gig. It's like having a magic power - it should be used wisely. How do you keep from sounding like everyone else, or a Spotify playlist?
