Headliners 2015

[JoeyT]

Oh Stevie has to be my favourite headliner.

A great end to what I consider my favourite Glastonbury since I've attended.

Sadly can't see it ever being beaten.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Radiohead to me are a band I dip in and out of when I'm in the mood.

Since Ok Computer I feel the albums need to be heard entirely. Most of the tunes on it don't seem to work on their own to me.

[Bisque]

I'm hiding out te back at work catching up on this thread.

Why are we talking about Radiohead & not irons now?

It's a Glasto headliner thread.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I couldn't name five, and I know a fuckload about a lot of other music (yes Russy, I like Kasabian).

If you're basing your assessement of other people's musical knowledge on what you or your friends know then you're being very narrow-minded. I don't mean this to sound arsey, but why would you expect everyone's musical upbringing or experiences to be the same as yours?

I don't base it on that. I am also into techno and trance. I highly doubt most people have heard of the work of Scott Bond, Len Faki, Gaiser or others.

I think it was more the case that I saw him in the same light as the beatles. I.e. Everyone knows them. I was wrong.

Ah OK, I guess that makes sense.

I'm in the same position with The Beatles in that I don't know that many of their songs off the top of my head. But then that's because I think they're mostly shit and have actively avoided listening to them

I don't think there's a single band out there that everyone will know lots of songs from.

You moaned like hell when he was announced though! Shows how you can be converted by a performance.

Please just give us the Roses and be done with it.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah I've always been taught that Stevie Wonder was shit so never bothered to look out for him.

I'm also the same as Matt with The Beatles.

Heck, when I got the DVD of Led Zeppelin's O2 gig the other year my dad said they don't have any hits, and he's a music fan (although he listens to no rock music, more classical). Actually he was married to a Led Zeppelin fan for most of his life. Weird.

[cornish hick]

Jeremy?

Spoke in class today...

Is this a hint? what do you know?

[Wooderson]

nah, that's a first mention. Give it a week or two and they'll probably be stating Coldplay as a fact.

Decent shout out for you there in fairness Mr. G

[the wonderwhy]

Once they'd spelt it correctly

You need a new teacher & a better education old son.

[zico martin]

i'm genuinely shocked by some of the opinions of the beatles and stevie in this thread tbh. I can accept a 'not my bag' type of comment, but shit or 'dont knwo any of his songs' is a bit nuts!

kids these days eh?

[thurlow84]

As it is my first Glastonbury I am a little disappointed that I have little interest in any of the rumoured headliners.

Im in the same position as you

I saw Radiohead with my ex-teacher once if that helps.

I'm sure "don't know any of his songs" isn't an opinion.

Thom Yorke would have you kicked out of the venue if he knew you thought The Beatles were shit.

[mrtourette]

Go see something else, there's plenty on. You can see most of shit on the Pyramid stage at every other major festival, if you waste time on that and miss the other stuff you'll regret it more than vice versa.

I think to a certain extent it's a good thing. There's far too much nostalgia in music at the moment, numerous reissues and reunions all the time. Youngsters getting excited about an upcoming band is far more important than them knowing the Beatles discography back to front.

[Gucci Piggy]

All the youngsters I know who know the Beatles discography back to front are self-righteous pricks when it comes to music.

Absolutely. I almost find it disappointing when I see a teenager with a Nirvana t-shirt, I hope to god my kids don't like the same stuff that I do. Music should be the greatest source of teenage rebeliion.
