Music was not better when you were younger. 

Haha, I agree.I’ve had many a pub argument about this.

Whike we're at it, and along the same lines for people of my age, the 80s were not a golden decade for music.

Loads of great music came out in the 80s but not the ones people are thinking of when they think of the 80s.

All those tracks that they play on the ‘best of 80s’ albums and tv shows, I hated them then and I hate them now. Haha.

And no, I don’t want to come to an 80s night ‘to re-live the classics’

To fully capture the voice of Stewart Lee you needed to add an 'Aaahhhhh' at the end.

The only music I like I can think of from the 80s is Metallica and Guns N Roses

What's Atom Heart Mother like?

Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast aside, I've genuinely never heard it.

It’s not my favourite by a long chalk. (Wish you were here is).... all I can say is if it comes on random shuffle,I’m pleasantly surprised and happy to listen to it, but it’s not an album I queue up.

Forgot about the Specials when I typed that. But yeah, music I like from the 80s is still quite a short list.

[CaledonianGonzo]

So you like The Specials but not - say - The Selecter?

[henry bear]

The Specials was the first band I saw live (apart from their support band). Never seen them since, hopefully that’ll be rectified at the next G

Elton John's voice is fucked & he would be a truly awful headliner. Everyone who calls for Reg to headline G should be forced to watch that terrible lockdown thing he did on a loop forever!

It's perfectly possible to have seen his lockdown performance and still want to be right down in the pit for Reg headlining the Pymild.

That track Reg did with Gorillaz was shocking.

I'd still be up there for him if he played, some solid gold singalong bangers in his catalogue.

Idk if its a wind up but in case not, harrison didnt write it and there are better versions of it.

If you're going to release a single called The Pink Phantom you need to go HAM or go home.

So taxi for Damon.

I skipped Damo and the boys in 2009 for The Prodigy and I have never had a second of regret.  I've seen the performance on iplayer and don't know what the fuss is about.

You mean Oily Water wasn't on your list of 'songs to see live before you die'?

[mattiloy]

Haha enjoying the progression here so a bit more lighter fluid: Blur are turd. Song 2 is their only good song.

The 1960s remains the greatest decade in music

The last good song they recorded was For Tomorrows.  Everything after that is trash.  A big fucking country fucking house indeed?  Get ta fuck.

If Be Here Now is so good then how come it also has My Big Mouth and Fade In-Out on it?

I love fade in-out

I thought this was controversial opinions 😉

Seriously though, I've probably spent more time at Other than any other stage and seen some amazing performances over the years, but a LOT of disappointing dross as well.  Watching the mumfords in the rain in 2011 was one of my lowest points at Glastonbury and I've seen Kate Nash.

The heat generated by some of the takes on here is keeping me warm on this chilly, chilly evening.
