Headliners 2016

So are Jizz headling on Sunday then?

 

If they are we could create loads of Jizz to repel them.

I would strongly suggest that if Coldplay were to headline that the production of jizz on an industrial scale at the point that they take to the stage would be the only appropriate action.

This must be why I have 5 kids.

And no money.

Literally stole it from twitter and changed the band's name, what a mug.

To be fair, that joke is way older than twitter.

I heard versions of it in the 90s (with the person being Irish instead of Muslim), and I assume it goes back much further than that.

A change of avatar, but still all discussions lead to Depeche Mode and New Order. Never change, easty 

I think it was justified this time mate

Incorrect

Just because you say incorrect does not make it true. The Beatles for all their experimentation were predominantly just a 4 piece beat combo. I have no doubt though if they had appeared a decade or so later that they would have fully embraced all the new technology that was appearing and branched out in other directions.

I love Coldplay and hate Radiohead..... I'm like the glitch in the efestivals network!

I am not a lover of either to be honest

Yeah as it plays on the stereotypes and discrimination of the listener you could insert any misrepresented ethnicity or social group.

I don't find that joke or Chris Martin funny. In fact, I've lost some respect for him. 

 

If you can lose some respect for him then you already had too much in the first place.

I disagree

I am an electrical engineer mate. I am always going to veer towards the groups who pioneered sound synthesis using electrical components rather than the ones who pluck strings or bang a stick on animal skins.

It goes back to at least 793 AD:

Alfred of Northumberland: 'Excuse me, are you Sven Magnusson? I think you must've dropped your wallet.'

Sven: 'May Odin bless and protect you, my friend, you are an honourable man. In return, let me tell you this. Stay away from Lindisfarne on Saturday week.'

And you claim not to like Radiohead? You sound exactly like a Radiohead fan.

a 4 piece beat combo is a reasonable description of them. Why use the word 'just' though, as if it's a triviality...?

I did not mean it in that manner it may have come across and yes you are correct, there is absolutely nothing trivial about the Beatles.

As far as how diverse they were, they were limited by the tools they had at their disposal unfortunately.

It's funny because it's not how you would expect Sven Magnusson to behave.

Same reason I don't like Joy Division, I find the singer extremely depressing.

Joy Division with a happy sounding singer would simply not work.

indeed

the limitations didn't seem to have to much of a negative effect on their creativity. They created as diverse a body of work as anyone

more than anyone really

apart from new order, obviously.

You are entirely correct. It is even sadder when you factor in the poor soul meant every word he sang. It is too heavy for me. Do I appreciate the likes of Radiohead and JD? Damn right I do, they have my upmost respect. Yet I can't listen to them for a prolonged period of time. There is no way I could go and watch either live as I just would not enjoy it personally. One or two songs here and there is fine but an extended period of it has an effect on me.

Each to their own at the end of the day. Life can be hard enough as it is. The last thing I want to do after a hard days graft is listen to music that brings me down. 

The ironic thing here is that I love The Smiths. They have this reputation as being miserable yet I do not find them miserable in any way. The music is generally uplifting and I find Morriseys lyrics funny. I know Suffer Little Children and How Soon Is Now are extremely dark but I think them songs have given The Smiths a reputation that they do not really deserve.

There's still only 12 notes no matter what you're playing them on. The creativity & diversity that the Beatles showed over the space of 7 years on 13 (if you count Yellow Submarine) albums was extraordinary. 

McCartney was 28 when they split. 28 with that body of work behind him. Unbelievable. 

Do you really think they would have better if they had a synth?

Serious guess

 

I would be surprised if at least one of Coldplay, Muse or Radiohead aren't there with them all having new material due before then.

Last year after over 1000 pages we finally got the headliners and found out that someone had guess right on page two of the thread.......... so I went back and looked at page two of this years thread.

 

Found this and quoted it.
