Message for Michael and Emily

[st00ka]

Space Truckin' is spot on mind.

[sifi]

I haven't heard that in ages I might have to dust off me old copy of Live in Japan when I get home.

[st00ka]

That's a great live album, that is. Isn't Space Truckin' like twenty minutes long on that?

[Wooderson]

Smoke on the Water, Strange Kind of Woman and Highway Star are all great but Child in Time is just musical masturbation.

[DreadlockDan]

Plenty of bands in the list i'd like to see (and plenty that i think are terrible) but the one I'd probably most want to watch is ZZ Top. First band I ever really listened to when I was about 10 due to a mates dad being a guitar player and loving them and said mate giving me copies.

Classing Stevie as a novelty act is close to sacrilege and take that at Glastonbury? wtf?

Dear Michael and Emily

Firstly, great job in 2009, I think it was one of the best and I’ve been to every Glastonbury since 1982. I know you must be busy looking for acts for 2010 so I thought I would help with a list of ideas I’ve been developing since 82!

Mega super stars who would make fantastic headliners

U2; Bon Jovi; Eagles; Madonna; Rolling Stones; Bowie; Eminem; AC/DC

Bands who did great performances in the past and should play again to resurrect their career or just for old times sake

James; Moby; Simple Minds; Van Morrison; Joss Stone; Magic Numbers; The Cure; St Etienne; The Pogues; Cranberries; Scissor Sister; Pet Shop Boys; Robbie Williams; Billy Bragg; Underworld

Good Fun novelty acts

Girls Aloud; Bee Gees; Lisa Minnelli; Trans-Siberian Orchestra; Rob Zombie; Elton John; Marilyn Manson; Stevie Wonder; Pussycat Dolls; Take That; Tom Petty; Sex Pistols

Those who could and should fill a Status Quo type slot

ZZ Top; Meat Loaf; Dumpy Rusty Nuts; Hawkwind; Alice Cooper; Deep Purple; Bryan Adams

Bands who should reform just for Glastonbury

Slade; Stone Roses; ELO; Sham 69; Frankie Goes To Hollywood; Shakatak; Gorillaz; The Beautiful South

Those would make the best headliners ever but won’t play for one reason or another

The Beatles; Doors; Metallica; Queen; Pink Floyd; ABBA; Led Zeppelin

[Portland Boy]

Those are the ones I'd watch

[FunkyDenz]

maybe more could do the same or suggest different bands in each of the catagories?

btw I assume we will get all the usual mainstream stuff Coldplay, Killers, Kings Of Leon, Glasvegas, Muse, Radiohead etc. The posting was more suggesting the 'off the wall' artists :-)

What's your problem with Metallica? They'd certainly make The Rolling Stones look like the joke of a band that they are nowadays if they were to play.

[Vieuphoria]
