In Rainbows / Kid A though... nothing beats them.

[Gucci Piggy]

I actually like the majority of The Resistance though

How's it unfair? How can you base it on anything else.

Do we have to base it on being hipsters. How else do you form an opinion on acts other than by listening to the bands and watching them live.

[Babyquack]

Even I hate it.

[Gucci Piggy]

Nah, I like it. Plus I liked The 2nd Law too tbh. The worst two albums they've ever done but still not bad albums in my book.

[Babyquack]

Fanboy.

[kev1664]

What?

If not all the bands have played a headline slot at R&L how do you propose we rate them based on R&L headline slots? I never said you can't do it based on listening to their music or seeing them live, just that the game isn't based solely on the act's headline performance at R&L.

[kev1664]

We don't do the regular hurt/heal based on performances

[Gucci Piggy]

I do. I take in all the albums I've listened to and experience I have gained through the years of listening to music and watching acts live. Some bands can be utterly tosh on record, but be fantastic live. Others can be completely the other way. If I'm hurting or healing bands that I potentially would see at the festival why would I not use those experiences to make an informed decision on hurting or healing. At the festival I'd much prefer a cracking live band than a dull one.

Most are sheep and try to make out they're 'cool' by taking out bands they've never even given a chance based on how uncool a band is perceived.

[kev1664]

All I said was we're not doing it based purely on the R&L headline sets, Jesus.

Most people are hurting bands they hate, I'm pretty sure. I highly doubt people are hurting Blink/Eminem/Travis/whatever just because it's cool.

[Gucci Piggy]

All I did was suggest a reason for why people may be doing it. I didn't say it was the only reason people were doing it.

For every one who dislikes an Eminem, blink, Travis there's another who'll dislike Cypress Hill, Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead.

But there is never a case for anyone to dislike the Cure or Arcade Fire.

People are gonna have to go back three pages to get the previous list at this rate.

[kev1664]

Oi you, there's a case to dislike Radiohead but not Arcade Fire? Right I'm killing Arcade Fire first thing tomorrow, just you watch.

At this early stage of the hurt/heal game, I don't even deduct points - only ever add in order to secure a strong position for my favourite band
