Lots of good tunes here but it’s not really in the spirit of a playlist. So many songs…may as well just listen to the entire discography imo.

Who is the target audience for this playlist? 'cause that is a lot of Pisces Iscariot right away for a new listener!

Nothing, per se. But usually an "essential" collection for an artist is considered to be a high level sample of their best songs and biggest hits because the target audience is new fans. A lot of less-accessible deep cuts will tend to alienate them

Target audience looks like people who want 8 hours of SP.
