Whether it is “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers, “Sex on Fire” by Kings of Leon or the infamous “Valerie” by Amy Winehouse, there seems to be a stable idea among bands of what the average setlist should include. And while these songs are cultural classics, their constant repetition is somewhat inconsistent with the level of diversity in musical tastes present at the University.
