if you knew what you were talking about I wouldnt need to. It seems you get your information of those pissed up 90s programmes that are always on sateliite tv.

country house, avant garde? charmless man experimental?

must admit never known anyone call blur avant garde before.

So Blur haven't experimented with different genres throughout their career, and kept the same sound on all their albums? OK then.

And yeah, I pointed out that those songs weren't experimental but in fact poppy, if you read my post in full.

Plus I don't get my information from those kind of programmes, but from what I hear when I listen to Blur.

vck and hedgehog do you actully know when britpop was? how old were you?

it wasnt some long movement going on at all.

vck you talking about blur being experimental and avant garde, what utter tosh. during britpop blur were playin the cheeky chappie stuff like parklife.

basically britpop was an exscuse of pissed up lads getting pissed and having a fight, and sara cox/zoe ball gettign pissed.

Britpop was part of a larger movement in British culture, yes it was all over quickly and it ended pretty badly, but the feel good factor at that time was amazing. TFI Friday, Liam and Patsy under a Union Jack duvet, Labour winning the 1997 election, Euro 96 in England, Trainspotting. Just a few things that happened in that period that made Britain cool again and gave us identity. Britpop was the soundtrack to this period and will be remembered for many years to come.

...and nothing in this country has touched the good times since. Every day felt like summer.

In 10 years time, there will be films about it. Can anybody say that anything will be written about the 00's? No chance. Today is like the 80s without Acid House.

I think there's more than one issue coming up here. First of all, on the idea that American pop-punk is not worth listening to, I completely disagree. A lot's being made of the knob gags and the skater culture, but I don't really see what the problem is. The immaturity and the fun of pop-punk was the whole point, music shouldn't have to eb deadly serious all the time.

On whether or not British music is producing enough big bands, I agree, and this year especially has been pretty poor in terms of new British rock music, but I don't think that should be put down to liking American bands. If an American artist wants to make an album about American society and the problems of growing up there, then I'd love to listen to it as much as I would an English band.

we should end this now, this is a nasty tangent to the initial question and people clicking on pages hoping for relevant information will come to this circling argument where each side don't seem to understand points the other is making. As people said before, people seem to be shying away from the fact MCR have written a catchy album that peolpe will like and will cater to many of the prospective 16 year old Leeds goers. It is a very commercial festival if you like it or not.

Where have all the Blur murmurs came from? Or is it just wishful thinking?

I believe they are planning on working together again next year so there's a small chance they could play but personally I don't see it.

[Joe-]

Yeah, its just wishful thinking, I'm not sure if I see it myself. Just rather them than MCR for the Sunday.

The Who, maybe?

I don't see that happening at all. Not the sort of band that would normally get booked and are they even planning anything for next year?

[joerules121!]

its defoo between blur, green day or rhcp. i think soundgarden wouldn't play and there doesn't seem to be anyone else. Pulp are gonna be a sub for sure.

[Joe-]

Hopefully it is someone else, I want to be surprised.

Blur I would not mind though.

RHCP wouldn't return after 3 years and a dreadful performance would they?

Why?

Anyway, I highly doubt Blur or RHCP will play.

Why's it between those three? What about the 3 that are already strong rumours? :S

i just don't think they would risk it having them headline, mainly due to most of the R&L crowd are around like 18 and quite a few of them would either 1) not like pulp or 2) not even have heard of em. I reckon it would make much more sense for them to sub.

blur would be awesome and i think they would work well because everyone knows em' and they are awesome live, RHCP could not give a shit about tbh haha

You'd cry because you don't like a headliner? Does your mum still wipe your arse? Get a grip.

paha, mate your such a pussy, i bet you would never say that to my face. i was just saying that a lot of people would be very disapointed if mcr headlined. But no aparently your a ard nut who brings people dead mums into a conversation. Think your so hard come say it to my face.

acting hard over the net is easily done as you have just proved. and to your original point, yes there would people who would be annoyed that they would be headlining (me included), however there would also be people pleased to see them headline. Either way there are numerous other stages to visit so in my opinion it doesn't matter if they headlined, as i would avoid the stage completely.
