radiohead and coldplay...is it just me or

[CaledonianGonzo]

Why don't they have Radiohead, Coldplay, and Muse and make it 3 for 3 bands who sound like Radiohead headlining.

(OK, they do different things with the influence, but the latter two are undoubtedly what you might term as post-Radiohead. It'd be like having Paul McCartney, Jeff Lynne and The Bootleg Beatles all on the same bill).

yep, im hoping for abit McCartney myself, fingers well crossed

Wouldn't mind seeing Coldplay, but don't want them to headline. And as for Radiohead... BORING!

I hope that whoever is playing really gets the crowd going, rather than just being there for nostaligic purposes or "because they're cool"

[smiffy1110]

I agree 110% with this post. If we have to have one of the three bands mentioned, Radiohead alone will be fine. Otherwise glasto 2010 could become a snore-fest with all three playing i know Coldplay get a lot of stick (I wasn't overly impressed with them in 2005). But sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't get the whole hype around Muse...

Radiohead, Boring?

Did you not catch the Radiohead footage from Reading this Year, hardly boring.......

[GlastoEls]

Radiohead are quite clearly not boring, but like Muse and Coldplay they've headlined the Pyramid - and recently.

Can we have something new? Jay-Z was controversial, so something along those lines?

Or could Eavis pull off something spectacular like a David Gilmour / Roger Waters reunion? Could he persuade Led Zep?

[Midnight Man]

I saw radiohead at my first glastonbury in 2003, not many bands have topped that performance at all the glastonburys i've been to since , i'd love to see them on the pyramid stage again

[Lifeinsilverbus]

I LOVE RADIOHEAD, I bought the ticket 'cause I have a hope that they would be.

For Coldplay, they're OK, but it's also OK for me if they won't play.

It's a taste thing ! They , along with Coldplay , seem to be a love them or hate them band , the latter for me zzzzzzzz

[smiffy1110]

who do you fancy then?

[Bluearsedfly]

Would love to see the Stones , a Pulp reunion , Ian Brown , Mcartney , Noel Gallagher , The Cure , Madonna , Billy Bragg , Arctic Monkeys......Its a taste thing

[The Nal]

I honestly dont think anyone that has seen Radiohead live could say that they were boring.

The thing with Radiohead is that your never sure what type of setlist your going to get. Compare Leeds & Reading setlists for example.

[Dan101]

I saw them live and they were one of the most boring bands Ive ever seen. Only Glasvegas beat them to the title.

Mind you, the new Thom Yorke/Flea band are supposed to be very good.

[Bluearsedfly]

Well first of all shame on you for going to see GlasVegas, I would'ent have expected anything less but I cant agree or understand how anyone can say Radiohead put on a boring live show.. guess its all down to personal preference/taste though really.

As for Thom's new band, they are mainly playing songs from The Eraser mixed up with a few of his new solo songs, which in my opinion is far less exciting than any of Radioheads stuff. So if you think Radiohead were one of the most boring bands you've ever seen, I'd steer way clear of the new band.

[biscant]

Totally agree , I thought Kasabian and Blur were fan bloody tastic for getting the crowd going and creating an atmosphere

[The Nal]

Well first of all shame on you for going to see GlasVegas

[GlastoEls]

I'd be interested in a Noel Gallagher solo show.

I wonder what he will do outside the Oasis shackle?

[glastofairy]

I for one really hope they are playing as;

A/ It'll be one less clash to worry about

B/ Means I can nip over to Shangri-la and spend some quality time without getting too crushed there whilst everyone else is watching Coldplay zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Deepsky]

coldplay.... KIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLL KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Boring, moany, whiney talentless little twat.

My opinion of course, but i'm entitled to it.

[Dan101]

Agreed, I was only there though as the Prodigy were on after and I wanted to get up front. But Jesus, Glasvegas are terrible.

[Zacko]

Being at the front for the Prodigy is quite an experience, I think I came to terms with the fact that I was probably going to die in there at one point, was insane.... in a good way.

[ukslim]

I'm affronted by the way the original poster groups Radiohead and Coldplay in the same category.

Radiohead are bona fide geniuses. Coldplay are dreary.

(Although I'm beginning to mellow towards Coldplay - there's a growing list of their songs that I don't mind too much)
