By far the best suggestion since Grace Jones

Several who have done the slot have about 3 songs that the average Joe could name.

ELO had one.

Hmm I think if you'll only grant ELO one, Grace Jones is one at most.  Can you have a legend with no top 10 singles?

ELO - 1 Number 1, 15 top 10s

Kylie Minogue, 7 Number 1s, 34 top tens

Grace Jones, 0 Number 1s, 0 top tens

Dolly Parton has more than Grace Jones but also has a far bigger personality as a cultural icon.

Back to sqaure one then!

How about Yvonne Elliman. Still touring.

 

Surely needs at least 3 hour set to fit in all the hits

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm obviously an outlier but from where I was standing ELO's set was about 80% utter bangers.

Yeah, maybe it's because I'm old but there were loads in there I knew.

Everyone seems to only know Mr Ble Sky, but tunes like Sweet Talking Woman, Living Thing and Don't Bring Me Down are just as good.

I think shes another "medley" merchant. She could make it work.

I would honestly take her doing If I Can't Have You on a loop for the full set.

[Mich1268]

Has Stevie even announced yet she promised would happen today?

When they played Avalon, they mentioned coming back with Fun Boy Three, sadly that can't happen now. 😞

 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They could bring Siobhan Fahey.

[The Nal]

I think Kathy Troccoli still tours. 

Might put a tweet up and see if Emily likes it. 

 

[Euphoricape]

Iggy pop?

This was just announced today apparently. End of May.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Iggy: King of MOR

Following on from this - the 80's nostalgia festivals often have Belinda and the Human League on. Other artists who frequently play high up the bill at those events would include

Adam Ant
OMD
Midge Ure
Kim Wilde
Jimmy Somerville

and this year there is a Soft Cell reunion, they are headlining most of the nostalgia fests this year (Marc Almond often plays solo further down the bill)

But what about contenders for the Glastonbury Teatime Legend Slot?
