my reaction to confirmed acts so far

[daveinafield]

ok, as i write this 12 acts have been confirmed and id like to see them all tho i know i cant as they will clash, but IMO its all excellent

1.Emilana Torrini - onl one id not heard of and just checked her out . lovely acoustic stuff

2.Fleet Foxes - has a band ever sounded so perfect for glastonbury - really excited

3.Florence and the machine - saw supporting glasvegas and think she is great and wanna see her again

4.The Ting Tings - i like the big drum thing and my 18th month daughter loves thats not my name - cool

5.Doves - they really better play the cedar room as its one of my all time fave songs

6.Echo and the Bunnymen - my all time best opening act in 97 but will clash with Boss, sorry Ian

7.White Lies - again saw them support glasvegas and would happily see them again, tunes!

8.Blur - saw them headline in 98 i think it was - all time brit greats.

9.Bruce Springsteen - one of the biggest acts of all time and my first ever gig in '88 - so excited

10.Franz Ferdinand - if i was not watching the boss id be here as ive always wanted to see them

11.Neil Young - all time great, wanna hear philidelphia, string man and safeway cart most of all

12.Lilly Allen - awwww i think she is lovely, nice voice, really enjoyed her with Ronson last year

half of these acts have under 5 years of releasing records, so would be classed as new and 'ahem' relevant;half of the acts are absolute classic performers in history of music - perfect mix in my book

so all positive for me so far, what does that say about me, a lover of music or something else?

please let it be june tomorrow......................................

Good luck with your Neil Young requests

He's played Stringman a little of late, but not at Glasto.

I'd probably see all of them if nobody else was on bar the Ting Tings, but only the headliners, Florence (who I discovered at Glasto 2007) and Doves (who will clash with the big 3) are bands I'd go out of my way to see.

i love your positivity but your going to have clashes all over that

7 of those 12 are headliners somewhere, and id have a guess that fleet foxes will be headling the park

and as much as you try and squeeze it, 8 into 3 doesnt go

[Tugger2k]

i do acknowledge that fact on first line of post tugger - would be a great day on the pyramid that

Naa load of rubbish, this is more like it in keeping with the forum;

1.Emilana Torrini - haven't heard of her for a reason

2.Fleet Foxes - glorified folk music

3.Florence and the machine - needs more than a machine to make Florence any good

4.Ting Tings - favourites for most annoying act at Glasto this year; in the words of Rafa Benitez FACT

5.Doves - depressing northern rubbish

6.Echo and the Bunnymen - probably relevant in 1997

7.White Lies - yawn

8.Blur - Chas and Dave in band form

9.Bruce Springsteen - The Boss? would prefer my own boss on stage and I can't stand her

10.Franz Ferdinand - student nonsense

11.Neil Young - bring yer sleeping bags

12.Lilly Allen - 50% celebrity 50% rubbish music

Bring on some big acts; Coldplay, Madonna, U2 or Elvis or I'm selling me ticket

[captainamazing]
