Your most controversial music opinions

[grumpyhack]

Public Service Broadcasting are over-rated and up their own backsides.  One of only two gigs I've ever walked out of.

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.

It was the best two hours I’ve ever had in front of the Pymild...

However I do concede that it was very much a “you had to have been there” kinda vibe.

The 80s was the decade of my youth so I'm always biased toward stuff from that era but the mention of an 80s special on TV or radio fills me with dread because you are guaranteed they will play fucking Don't You Want Me. Just shove it up your half a haircut arse.

That was #1 on the day I was born.

It's your fault then?

Being boiled is the best thing the Human League recorded.  Everything after is ok, I guess, but never reached that height again.

Or your three haircuts, if you're Flock of Seagulls

Tony Bennett's legend performance in 98 was one of the worst things I've ever witnessed! Just a fat old rich man doing bad karaoke!

[gsansom]

The Stones (whilst undeniably having an absolute arsenal of a back catalogue) should have hung their tools up several decades ago and their headline set was cringe inducing and technically downright awful ((ducks))

I wasnt there but i have just googled it and i have to say, i think you’re pretty harsh here. He is tight musically and in decent shape. I guess it just wasnt your thing which I am onboard with - theres that Goodfellas track and then...?

But if this is just a old rich fat man doing karaoke then the legends slot is only old rich fat people doing karaoke which.... actually... Yeah fair enough

Yep, my judgement may be clouded by the fact that I fucking hate swing music!

Had the best evening wandering about the site while they were playing. Felt like we had the place to ourselves.

Massive Attack as Other Stage headliners in 2014 was so underwhelming that I was actually bored. 
So much so, that not going to see Kasabian on Pyramid is one of my ultimate regrets from all festivals I’ve attended.

[nikkic]

Jay Z is the best headliner I've seen on The Pyramid.

Without knowing if there were any others, this isn’t too controversial

Arctic Monkeys set in 2013 was unbelievably boring

Stone Roses suck

Oasis are awful and are rock music for boring people

This is truly a great controversial opinion. You’re talking shite though 😉

This feels like a “show your working” moment.

This thread has got me wondering who or what the ultimate eFests sacred cow is... Taylor? Radiohead? The Stones 2013? The National? (Surprised no-one has gone after them yet).

Given me an idea for 22’s Hurt/Heal if it all gets banjaxed again next year...

Right guys, it’s a wrap. The fun is over.

Completely agree. Don't get the hype behind them at all
