Rod is not dull by any stretch, you may or may not like his personality, he may not be able to perform or sing well, but he is charismatic and has plenty of catchy tunes = not dull.

Roxy may musically be better, and more respected as an act, but to the average punter in that slot they would be dull, certainly a lot, lot more dull than Rod.

The average punter bought Westlife and take that records.

Not sure what that got to do with the 100k people watching the legend slot at Glastonbury, but incidentally, since you mention them both, west life and take that would be more suitable Sunday tea time acts than Roxy music, and less dull in that context. Between Rod and Roxy Music, Roxy Music would be the dull one of the two by quite some distance.

When I was younger, I was always of the opinion that Roxy Music's output was pretentious bollocks.

However, I am now older, wiser, have expanded my musical genre listening habits beyond the fixed metal/punk/rock furrow I was stuck in and have now come to realise that their output is actually pretentious bollocks.

Lottery Winners have just replied to me on a post about a big announcement coming on Tuesday. Sounds promising. 

One thing that always *slightly* bugs me about them is that they can't decide whether they're just 'Lottery Winners' or 'The Lottery Winners'! It seems to be different on every platform haha.

Sadly out of upvotes, but this deserves at least one.

Read what it was a reply to to get the context of my words. The average punter is not good for quality benchmarks

Neil is going to get so angry at you. Are you Rod Stewart’s manager?

Again, no relevance to the fact the Legend/Sunday Teatime slot is what it is, it’s been pretty successful to date and lots of people turn up for it. Rod would fit the bill for it more than Roxy Music, and to the people watching be less dull.

The fact that you happen to like one act more than another is totally irrelevant to the reality of what is a good booking for a Sunday afternoon slot, that has traditionally been a sing along with a light entertainment act.

I can't bring myself to listen to these guys just because of their awful name... should I give them a go?

There's more that's legendary with a groundbreaking act like roxy, than there is with dull rod

That’s as maybe, but again it has precisely zero relevance to who is the most suitable act for the Sunday tea time slot.

I don’t go into Macdonalds and get annoyed with them because they don’t sell caviar.

I nearly added that the average punter votes tory, which they do which is why the tories keep winning, you wouldn't have made that reply if I had.

If you want disco glam, eurovision is in liverpool. And I think drag race is going on tour. Music snobbery is a good thing it's quality control

Groundbreaking? They are all mid 70’s and haven’t released an album since I’ve been alive (42 years)

Do you mean gravedigging?

The average punter of Glastonbury absolutely doesn’t vote Tory.

The average punter to Glastonbury isn't buying Westlife or take that either.

Disco glam could never be considered dull, Rod would fit the legend slot like a glove.

He'll fit it no better than he fitted a headline slot.

Is Rod the new GnR then?
