Our Repertoire
Although the Mainliners informally specialize in 90s hits and "power pop" ("What is Love?", "I Want it That Way," "Viva La Vida"), we don't strictly adhere to any particular genre or era of music. We have arranged Motown and Disney songs, singer-songwriter ballads, and SNL farces. All new music is chosen and arranged by members of the group each semester, so ultimately what we add to our repertoire depends on the momentary whims of the members. Here's a list of songs we've performed, and links to videos (low quality, and many shot from awkward angles!) if available.
