I disagree.  Their best of "All Over The World" is almost solid gold.  Outside of Horace Wimp and possibly Wild West Hero (which I still love BTW) there's no flab in it at all.  If I had to pick a top 10 from this, Mr Blue Sky wouldn't even be in it.

Nothing on there from Time, which is maybe even their best album 🤔

Hear me out lads, Ringo Starr has a US tour finishing on 17th June 

Got my Fat Controller fancy dress on standby

His set lists are somewhat strange:

Wouldn't sweat it tbh given he's unlikely to be doing it. Maybe more likely than Iggy Pop, but not by much.

In other news, I woke up this morning with a random thought.  Wasn't Alicia Keys rumoured to be lined up for 2020 and wouldn't she be a cracking legends slot act?  Too big maybe?

Not sure about legend slot but yes it would be great if she appeared.

Yeah, it was just a joke on my part, but was genuinely surprised by some of the covers he does.

ELO have one amazingly well know song, then about 5 songs most people would’ve heard and know, but not necessarily know it was by them. 

You could say the same about Dolly, but it didn't seem to bother anyone then?

Did I say it bothered me?

Was just trying to provide some balance between the “ELO only have one song” and “ELO have wall to wall bangers” argument.

Say what you like about Iggy's suitability for that slot but at least he doesn't do three Men At Work covers...

There's a thought! Wow I'd love to see Alicia Keys ❤️ would be a gorgeous afternoon teatime at the Pyramid. Doesn't suit the slightly cheesy slot it's become but she would suit that slot for so many other reasons

Guessing it's tunes from all the stars in his All Star Band.

If people expect the legend to provide "wall to wall bangers" it would be a very short shortlist!

Van Morrison at North sea Jazz in the NL a couple of weeks after GL... (Buddy Guy, Jill Scott too but I guess not legend enough)

Tom Jones is there as well, I think he would suit the legend slot but i know he has played the festival before in a non legend slot so that probably rules him out

[Gnomicide]

Buddy Guy turning up would be a bonus.

He's done the Legend Slot.

It's been 13 years since he headlined and I weren't there, so roll out Stevie Wonder for it. 

Stevie Wonder -> Lizzo -> Pulp -> Elton

I havnt seen four pyramid acts in the last four festivals put together, so the idea of four in a row is blowing my mind a bit 😄 i'll be one of those pyramid field people camped out for the day with rugs that MUST NOT BE STOOD ON and a little picnic basket with pastry delights and cans of stout 👍 that would be an incredible run!

Look again...

That said, Time is an all-time favourite of mine. The first album I ever properly got into and I still listen to it. Love it.
