2023 legend slot

[Ayrshire Chris]

It’s got to be Roxy, I’ve promised Mrs C, we’ve had romantic moments down the decades listening to Avalon😉! 
wouldn’t be the same listening to Eminem

All of the successful legend slots in recent history have all had at least one certifiable wedding disco banger which transcends generations in their arsenal. 

On that metric, Roxy Music feels like a bit of a miss

You don't have to be concerned with this...

You will be packed up and on the road back to Yorkshire before Donavon is halfway through Hurdy Gurdy Man...

You've got prescriptions to fill on Monday!

According to comments on here if it is Roxy there will be plenty room 😀

You can have a romantic moment to:

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

it's not the Proclaimers, is it..?

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Proclaimers may well play, but it'll be on the Acoustic or something.

[4AssedMonkey]

Billy Ocean?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I get that people think that Roxy Music is a bit of a step down from Diana and Kylie. But seeing plenty of suggestions that are a step down from Fezza and the lads.

I hope so. Never managed to catch them other than a song or 2 one year on The Pyramid.

Quite. Can’t see the likes of Deacon Blue or The Levellers grabbing the prestigious ‘Fourth Headliner’ slot anytime soon

Technically speaking, Deacon Blue have already played the Pyramid at Sunday tea-time..

Is Johnny Marr a name that's been mentioned for the legend slot? Can't decide if he'd be a weak option or not

Up against Janet Jackson and Lizzo to be fair to the guy, but yeah not a legend slot act for me.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood!

[Memory Man]

Stupid question but if the legend would piss off the old guard, how does that make any sense? It says to me they dont sound right for the slot.

Perhaps it makes sense if you know who it is but it seems like an odd one to me. its almost a pre requisite to please the old guard.

This would be a great shout, except it seems they've not done anything since 2007.

Quick glimpse and i can't see anyone arguing this. thing with roxy is they are just completely unknown to a lot of people it seems vs previous legends and even the older folks don't care for them that much vs other recent legends

And never with Holly since the original split in the 80s.
