Faster Pussycat are always available. Bit light on bookings these days.

And great shout on Skints @Perks. Saw them in the Gully 2015, and bloody good they were too. Had the guys from Slaves crowdsurfing if my addled brain remembers correctly.

A tremendous list from Perks with the unfathomable inclusion of the bloody Pet Shop Boys.

Really? Would love to see them, missed the 2010 set. What's the beef with PSB Gnomicide?

And missed Flogging Molly in there Perks, another great call. If we can get them and Dropkick Murphys the world will be well.

They had one or two half decent songs when they started but man alive, they've produced some shite since. A downward trajectory in quality only normally seen in movie franchises and Coldplay albums but where the starting point was 'alright'.

Their last two singles were so poor I find it hard to believe even long term fans would find them acceptable. Teeth meltingly awful.

He's not a rockist. He listens to all types of music. As long as it's drums, bass, one or two guitars and a vocalist. Keyboard optional. 

Guilty as charged

Nowt wrong with keyboards, they have their place, love some good piano.

Dave Matthews, west holts. It's gotta happen eventually

Hehehe. I'm properly buzzing at the thought of seeing the Pet Shop Boys this December in Moscow, but would love, even more, to see them back at Glastonbury next year. 2010 was phenomenal.

As much as I'm not a 'fan', as a kid West End Girls piqued my interest in music. I even remember where I was the first time I heard it.

"On that basis...I'm in!"

Neil and Chris have the jams in a way that Hanoi Rocks do not.

But this year it's Erasure's turn

I read that as you had a Scottish accent the first time you heard it.

Missing that to see Muse was the point I realised I needed to do more of my own thing with headliners at Glastonbury and not worry so much about staying with the group. Hard lesson.

Pet shop boys are one of the most consistent bands ever imo. Some truly brilliant pop songs. They get written off as some crap, disposable 80's trash far too often.

He didn't seem to have any problem with Lil Wayne's inclusion in that wishlist.

Not on my watch they don't.

Up there with The Smiths as the best of their era.

All the "P"s for me please! Pearl jam and Pink Floyd
