Oasis

*rubs hands, settles down*

Oh, this is going to be gooood.

[big joe]

On the actual issue of them headlining it, can't see it any time soon. Noel said he wouldn't play there again, musing it was a better festival to visit than to play at. For him, anyway. Note that Glastonbury was about the only festival in Europe he didn't play last year. Liams voice is shot in the live arena so i would advise floating voters to go and watch Tony Benn or Billy Bragg waffle on about something or other.

Hang on, not fair on the troll front.

It is true that they are the only group whose albums i own but haven't listened to because I got bored of same old in first couple of tracks.

Willing to think about maybe trying them again at some point, possibly same outcome

And as for the hives warm up act....anyone who was there must agree surely.

[not worthy]

Yep, agreed, utter garbage...that was the point, only good enough as a warm up to the hives, so chuffed to have been there for that

You are David Kohl. This whole discussing Britpop's legacy thread made me re-read Rue Britannia.

Biggest band since the Beatles?

Bigger than ..., Floyd Queen Zeppelin Bowie Stones

Really?

[mcshed]

Off topic, do you shit your pants every time you read a new issue of Young Avengers or is it just me? It's the bloody highlight of my month.

[Wooderson]

Some of the ideas about why they were so utterly gargantuan - undoubtedly the biggest band since The Beatles on these shores - are so convoluted, so desperate to come up with complex sociological/political explanations, its like someone doing a hundred page thesis on 2+2=4.

Oasis have sold absolute chickenfeed compared with the commercial triumphs enjoyed by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

[The Nal]

who in relation to Madonna, have themselves sold chickenfeed.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Mariah isn't far off Madonna in terms of sales. And shes 10 years younger than Madge too.

Katy Perry has released more perfumes than all of them, so I think we know who the real winner is in this debate.

This is the new criteria to which headliners are booked

Katy Perry to headline with Britney subbing

[big joe]

he also said Jay Z shouldn't play at 'his' Glastonbury. He is quite plainly a total bell-end

[russycarps]

The Jay Z comments were one of the only times i've rolled my eyes listening to Noel. In general, i love his interviews, he's a funny and entertaining guy. Sure, he gets on a roll and spouts some shit sometimes but he certainly is not stupid or unintelligent. Liam is your man for that.

[Guest]

he was right there though, Jay Z was shit and paved the way for more shit like beyonce

[CaledonianGonzo]

So hip hop or other urban musics shouldn't be represented on the main stage of the festival?

The quality of Jay-Z's performance is one thing, but saying it doesn't belong at Glastonbury is something else entirely.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

, in terms of cultural impact, record sales, blanket media coverage, ticket buying frenzy, only The Beatles - within the UK - top them.
