Schuylar Croom’s Setlist:

1. Radiohead — “Reckoner”

I got the opportunity to see this band twice last summer and it was the highlight by far. Radiohead’s records have always held a special place in my heart, and In Rainbows has become one of my favorites.

2. Bob Dylan — “Subterranean Homesick Blues”

This is a classic throwback that makes me stop and shake my ass whenever I hear it.

3. Neurosis — “The Eye of Every Storm”

This is one of the most powerful songs ever, if listen to in the right frame of mind…and through headphones.

4. The Presets — “Yippiyo-ay”

This Band is one of my new favorites and has the greatest videos.

5. Jeff Buckley — “Lover, You Should Have Come Over”

The greatest song ever recorded.

6. Motorhead — “Overkill”

Sleaze at its finest.

7. Queens of the Stone Age — “A Song for the Dead”

One of the best jukebox jams ever recorded. Dave Ghrol is legend.

8. The Beatles — “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”

You hear that badass stoner riff?

9. Tom Waits — “Make It Rain”

I would spin any of the songs in his catalog but this one came to mind right now.

10. Blind Melon — “Galaxie”

Soup is one of the most under-rated records of all time. This song will get you moving.
