Elbow

The album in question is The Seldom Seen Kid for this month's Q where certain "important" people (some's opinions really are worthless).

Already know that they are likely to play as they turned down a spot last year, for a better spot this year.

There was people saying they "could" be headliners, but with U2 and probably Muse being headliners (probably as may not be headliners) you'd guess they won't be the Saturday act, plus not likely to go up against either of them on the Other Stage, so second from top on the Pyramid one night??

They certainly went dubious on their top 5.

5. Coldplay - Viva La Vida

4. White Stripes - Elephant

3. Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I am that's what I'm not

2. The Strokes - Is this It

1. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

I would only have put one of them in my top 5 but it's their opinions not mine.

Regardless of this I'd reccomend this month's issue of Q, as you get some interesting choices in the Top 100, and some good articles on other artists. This includes Mikey E on Coldplay.

All good, except for them clearly getting century confused with decade.

It's Q Magazine.

I went of them when they said that The Prodigy were the Number 1 live band in the world. They were alrite when I first started reading them but now they've started getting more shitter by the minute.

Funny this. Never saw Prodigy until Glasto this year and loads of people said they put on a great show. I was torn between them and Blur for Sunday and ended up watching Prodigy. I was underwhelmed massively and the audience interaction consisted of them inserting the word f**k inbetween every other word whilst shouting at the top of their voice between songs. Can't believe Blur were putting in one of the great performances of the weekend in round the corner and I missed it. :P

Can't believe Blur were putting in one of the great performances of the weekend in round the corner and I missed it. :P

What I like about Elbow is how refreshing it is to have a Manchester band with a frontman who is actually a nice guy. :P

I think one more album and Elbow could well reach the heights that their fellow Mancunians Oasis, The Smiths and The Stone Roses did. I really do believe they're destined for big things if number five doesn't flop. Let's just hope they don't pull a KOL on us and compromise their great songwriting ability to pursue further success.
