Sunday Legend 2016

[GlastoSimon]

Manilow would certainly be a line crossed for me, I feel like a proper music legend should be back on the cards now. Then again, after Paul Simon in 2011 I wouldn't want my hopes dashed again.

Why has the manilow rumour risen to the surface again like a turd that wont flush?

Bet you a tenner Jeff Lynn doesn't play the legend slot.  He might still play, but not that slot.

[CaledonianGonzo]

When Jeff Lynne wanders out on stage most people will need to pause for a minute to work out whether it's actually him or just a roadie fixing a guitar lead.

Calling them idiots has nothing to do with their music taste, it has something to do with their intelligence, of which personal preference has no link (in most cases). 

If you care to notice, I didn't call them 'idiots'.

I called them 'idjuts', and the mis-spelling was deliberate.

For other idjuts, also see anyone with an iPhone.

I could go on, but i won't. :)

why? he ticks all the boxes. It'll be good to put a stop to the "guilty pleasure" acts of the last couple of years

I can't get rid of this quote box so assume I'm quoting your above post.

 

 

Fair enough 

[CaledonianGonzo]

No such thing as a "guilty pleasure"

[CaledonianGonzo]

As an aside, and very much off topic, my quote boxes are all over the shop as well.

Because he has been widely discussed and it's ELO rather than a solo act. And not very good, of course - in my opinion   Probably just my ELO blind spot, but I don't think he's got enough singalong songs.

Just a feeling in my bones that if he plays, it'll be another time, but still Pyramid obvs.

Because hes playing in London on the Thursday, its his last ever tour and hes perfect for the redcoat loving Sunday day trippers. Glasto could actually be his last ever gig going by the tour dates. And he would've seen what Lionels performance did for record sales last year. 

He will not flush unfortunately though, correct. Like a lamb for lunch, beef for dinner next day shit.

We need to face the facts here and plan around it. The Sunday Legends slot is Barry fucking Manilow.

My defence is easy - but will be ignored......

I do not like Westlife but they were not bad at what they did and many liked them. Those who liked them probably did not like much of the punk I liked. That made neither bad, we just did not share the same taste.

All music that someone really does not like, to them, is bad (or shit). All music they like is not bad (or shit). Someone else will have the alternate opinion.

You might like to expand and replace the word 'music' with just about anything...... but I don't. I am happy for others to have their own opinion even if it differs from mine. If we all liked the same and thought the same wouldn't the world be a dull place!

That's all really nice, and we all know it's true, but do you think that music is good or bad? Having an opinion is not a crime, and it's not to be confused with the negative behaviour you've outlined.

 All this "no music is bad, it's just not for me" bullshit is how we've ended up with Coldplay, Muse and Adele headlining Glastonbury.

Fight for your opinions! Up with snobbery!

Spot on. If we cant be music snobs on a music forum then where can we? 

Most music is complete and total shit, and anyone who chooses to listen to that over all the brilliant music out there is either a fucking idiot or just a stupid c**t. 

That's all there is to it really.

You could think it's no more than a difference of opinion (which is what it is). 

I do think that.

And part of the difference of opinion is that I think people who like shit music are idjuts for liking shit music.

so do I, as I remembered as I hit post.

But I don't use my iPhone. I bought it (2nd hand) a few weeks back, because of an iPhone issue on this website.

So I'm going to pretend I don't have one, OK?

So you don't think that...  

yeah, I do.

You're just some weirdo who mostly posts their opinion with a question mark on the end via which you give yourself a back-track channel to most things you say, because you're scared of your own opinion and even more scared of what others might think of you for it.

Some of us aren't scared little mice.

What we all dressing as if Billy Joel is booked? I reckon I can knock up a 'Baby Grand' Outfit in time for June, it'll be a bit wide mind.
