    They also came out with Eminem few weeks ago to, they must be bored and just throw a new name in to help the bookies!

    I won't link to the article, but it also says Eminem is also still in talks and that Monkey and the lads are signed up to do it.

    Fuck's sake. I go off to do my actual job for an hour and the thread gets nuked?!?

    Almost as quickly as Guns'n'Roses have been nuked from the list of contenders.

    Not been around here much, what happened to the old Taylor thread?

    The old Taylor thread can't come to the phone right now.

    Why?

    Cause it's dead

  4. It's pefectly possible to simultaneously hold these two seemingly contradictory thoughts in your head:

    Roxy Music are a perfect booking for the slot; and

    Roxy Music will be way less of a success than anyone else who's played in this slot since ELO 7 years back.

    Acoustic Stage headliner at best, when compared to the calibre of recent acts in the usual Pyramid slot

    While I wouldn't go that far, it'll be very different from the last three.

    But it will give the 'In what world is Kylie a legend, they should give it to a real legend like Old Papa Realmusic' demographic a moment in the sun.

    They only moved onto cheesy pop shite when they couldn't get proper legends like Johhny Cash anymore.

    Not really. There's always been a mix of more nostalgic fun stuff (Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Neil Diamond) and more serious Mojo-rock (Paul Simon, Ray Davies, ELO).

    I vividly remember standing in the crowd on the Friday night for the TBC act feeling so convinced it was going to be Taylor...the sadness when it was not. I was not privy to the info beforehand that it was The Libertines 😞 

    The saddest story ever told.
