How about Emily couldn’t decide between 1975 and Foals so it a ‘Reading-Festival-Esque’ co-headline Saturday night. 4 headliners!

... and if one of the other headliners pull out you’ve got an instant replacement.

so foals subbing again then? yeah could happen.

Which was the biggest travesty since Chesney Hawkes kept James - Sit Down off no 1.

My two very first records I bought myself. Still think the victor was the correct one.

Saw Daft Punk headline Pukklepop way back and they were incredible

[H.M.V]

If the young horse chaps or the other ones can headline so can Sugababes. Got something special lined up for their 20 years next year. Original gang back together. ?

Is there a more overrated song than Get Lucky? I just don’t get it 

Correct. It’s rubbish. The whole of RAM is rubbish.

Oh! I really enjoyed Giorgio By Moroder. Guess I was wrong about that, then. Should have checked with you first.

Yeah it is definitely rubbish. I’ve done all the workings and stuff.

Oh yeah, they’re both brilliant. I think they’re great generally, and not going to Rockness in 07 is one of my biggest regrets, I just didn’t care for RAM.

Dweebs acting like Punk on the Pymild wouldn't be worth skipping the Bootleg Beatles on the Acoustic Stage for.

I liked that, and Contact. The rest is pretty naff though for me.

I'm in the RAM fan camp.  Giorgio by Moroder is class.

Come at me beeyatches

[Hugh Jass]

RAM is, in my opinion, the most overrated record of the last decade.

[Matt42]

I woke up this morning to people debating Daft Punk albums and my first thought something had happened!

Am I alone in thinking that a Daft Punk headline set post-RAM might not be as good as some might hope? Did you see them at the Grammys? It got a bit offensive at points.

Oh absolutely not pal.  It's been hyped up so much there's no feasible way it could be as good as we want it to be.

Still want it to happen though

[MetaKate]

Calling something overrated because you personally dont rate it high is overrated.

Yeah I want it to happen to  despite everything.

However I have become a bit numb to the prospect of Daft Punk performing again. There is always an annual rumour which is probably just started by a troll on reddit. 
 

On a similar note I need a good strong reunion rumour. We’ve not had one of those in a long time.

Just to be absolutely clear, REM reunion rumours are off limits.

[MetaKate]

Also I think everyone would agree RAM is not their best. I know it charted well, mainly because of Get Lucky, but 2013 was a dark time and there wasn't a whole lot new going on so people got excited. I wouldnt say RAM is rated overly high at this point in time? Purely subjective. 

I'd die to see them live but I think it's unlikely it'll happen.

I remember buying Random Access Memories on the same day as Access All Arenas by Justice and after listening to both, thinking that the torch had well and truly been passed to Gaspard and Xavier

Sorry, I'm not having Daft Punk as overrated. Homework and Discovery earnt them their place. The reviews from Alive 2007 were glowing (and the album is unbelievable) and that came before the Get Lucky phase. 

I've never dug very deep in to Daft Punk so will give the above two albums a go today and see how I get on.

Pre listening judgement based on the singes / songs I have heard in my opinion doesn't make them any better than someone such as Justice.

A fair point.  I reached that conclusion a little later at the end of the 2017 set when Xavier was stood on the crowd waving his flag. Glorious.
