Most contrervisial Pyramid headliner

[Dave F.]

Shakespear's Sister was an odd choice for Saturday night in 92. Luckily it was still the era of soundsystems galore throughout the site to keep the gurning multitudes happy.

Same here as the Majority - Jay Z made the most of a bad selection... I would of put him on the other stage though.

As for U2 being 'controversial'; Hardly - You will always have people who don't like the headliners but they merit their selection based on facts ; Enormous record sales worldwide - particularly the US which for a british artist is a achievement, longevity, instantly recognizable back catalogue, they have change with the times and reinvented themselves constantly - picking up new fans along the wayu. Like them or loath them you have to agree that they are a obvious headliner.

In what parallel world did U2 suddenly become a British band?

Bonio & Sir Bob were both in the '100 Greatest Britains of all time":

Go figure?!

On a related note, on the ITV news a newscaster said "meanwhile over in France, our nearest neighbour..."

Not only was she patronizing the audience, but also geographically incorrect, with it clearly being the Republic of Ireland.

Didn't travis headline? I actually can't remember but I remember thinkingthere not big enough to play what ever slot they wer playing...

[paulo999]

most controversial has to be Archaos I reckon.

[Dave F.]

I'd forgotten about that. Certainly the most 'non standard'.

No, no, as English as they come, just irritated by stupid people in the British media.

[Dave F.]

Is France not technically the nearest neighbour to England at least?

[Wooderson]

Yes, but ITN are a British broadcaster, that includes Wales, Scotland & most importantly, in this case, N. Ireland.

Have you never noticed on the BBC weather they talk about N.I. but never south of the border?
