Why no Stereophonics?

[Cooter]

Not a geeky huge fan by any means but they are huge and they'd be a great addition to the lineup, loads of singalong hits. Perhaps a Saturday evening thing?

[Alan_C]

They will probably open the Other Stage in the next few years. Might get themselves 3rd top on the Pyramid when they do a Greatest Hits album one day. Can't believe they're still doing arena's. First album was quality and the second album was good. Terrible since.

Hello Kelly, you do realise you're better off contacting Michael and Emily rather than this forum, don't you

They're a bit out of fashion/seen as uncool and probably demand high slots that Glastonbury aren't willing to give them (they do still play arenas and sub the likes of V when they play there). Tbh they'd probably go down well if they did play, but they are shite.

I'm not sure why they haven't played recently? Maybe because they are grey boring and middle of the road? But then again Coldplay keep getting asked to play!

[shoptildrop]

Because they're shite

[russycarps]

My ex girlfriend was obsessed with the lead singer so for that reason I've always thought they were complete c**ts.

The music is absolute dog eggs too.

[Alan_C]

Word Gets Around was good though?

[dentalplan]

Word got around that Stereophonics were arse.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Why don't you tell it like it really is?

[wolfamongwolves]

bloody awful

[reflekting]

Concur with the above comments. Their last good album was Language. Sex. Violence. Other? All their output since has deteriorated badly in quality. 

[Woffy]

Musical equivalent of a Mechano Large Hadron Collider built by Robbie Williams feeling like he's 'in a bit of a funk' and wouldn't care if the world ended...as long as it didn't effect him.

Come on everyone, have a nice day,

This is always good for a laugh.

They're pretty damn good live, very tight technically. Two superb albums and then splatterings of decent tunes since then - they would definitely go down well with an hour setlist.

I really liked Stereophonics when I was about 14 - 17, saw them twice. His voice was great.

Can't say Ive listened to them since I was 17 or so. 

Id watch them out of nostalgia for word gets around & a couple from performance & cocktails. Otherwise - nah

Word Gets Around was a good album.. They're playing festivals this summer. I'll catch them at y-not festival in Derbyshire 

[zeppelin]

I'll tell you what, I've thoroughly enjoyed the couple of times I've seen them. They do have a lot of old hits, I've been thinking for years they'd be a good addition.

[fingers_mark]

Dakota is a tune. Would see that played live again.

[DownboundTrain52]

Saw them late 15 at Manchester Arena - tight, well honed, middle of the road indie pop rock. Would go down a treat Saturday afternoon. They're still a commercial force - bigger than a lot of acts on the bill this year to be honest - and I can't say I've ever found meat and potatoes rock unpalatable. 

Basically, the Welsh answer to Nickelback then.

they already did a Greatest Hits album! Right before their rapid decline kicked in. Maybe they knew it was coming.
