The best artist(s) to never have played Glastonbury?

Sorry to resurrect an oldish thread but it only occurred to me today that Carole King has never played Glastonbury, which seems to be a bit of an oversight.

I know she's not the most prolific performer but she was on the road in Oz as recently as 2013 and pops up every now and again for one-off performances. She still got a good voice on her and the musical 'Beautiful', about her life, has just headed over to the UK from Broadway, so there is also clearly still some interest in her.

How do we persuade the Eavis' to get her booked for the legends slot next year? When it comes to songwriting, she is clearly a living legend.

Nice little BBC4 programme here if anyone's interested.

Grateful Dead. No band epitomised the spirit of the festival better than the Dead. No wonder they were always desired and it's still a crying shame they never did it.

I think you've nailed this thread on the head. Unfortunately they seem a little money orientated and not willing to cross the Atlantic.

Her and James Taylor, that tour they did the other year looked fucking amazing. I'd bawl like a baby.
