Does Mark Langdon sound anything like Mark Lanegan?

Oasis - 2004.

Shakin' Stevens - 2008.

Both utter, utter TURD.

Prodigy last year. Average I thought. But in mitigation, I was very tired by the Sunday and had the raging trots, so maybe it was just my mood. Soooooo wish I'd gone with my gut and watched Blur.

The Prodigy in 2009...what a bunch of butt munchers...they seemed to forget it was a festival crowd, not their personal gang of warriors. The sound was also mighty crappy.

I’ve only been to a couple of Glasto’s but for me it was The Fleet Foxes last year. Especially since I think I could have been watching Paolo’s secret performance at the time (and probably should have since he’d got us backstage). Maybe had more to do with the fact that I instantly went off their album when I got back from the festival.

Wouldn't say I was especailly looking forward to it, but we checked Will Young out in 08 and he only played 2 songs that the crowd knew. Everyone was calling for him to play Evergreen and he didn't!

I think he forgot that the crowd weren't his regular bunch of followers.

Oasis in 2004. Awful awful awful.

Van Morrison was pretty pooh too in 05 I think.

Paul McCartney.

Sorry, I was expecting a lot more from him.

Pronghorn at Club Dada last year. Thought it would be a good starter for the festival, but left half way through (along with most of the back of the tent) bored s**tless.

[crashnburn]

Was that intentional?

Anyway as I've only been last year, I have to say Fleet Foxes. Really, really boring.

I remember being disappointed by Vampire Weekend a couple of years ago. And I thought Kings of Leon were awful in 2004 but they've got a lot better since.

Julian Cope....2003 acoustic tent. i wasn't going to be able to see his full set as i wanted to see REM, but still, the 40 mins or so of what i saw was dreadful. At least I was able to get good spot for the boys from Athens, Georgia.

[Joem]

Fleet Foxes last year were a real letdown.

Thought we just needed the sun and it would be a match made in heaven.

We got the sun but unfortunately that was as good as it got!

wow, see i really enjoyed the prodigy! such a good end to the weekend! There was a sort of 50:50 split in my group between prodigy & blur and at the end everyone thought they'd made the right decision.

I'd have to say... eagles of death metal. Too early, plus i wasn't at the front - i think thats why

but i walk away from that very underwhelmed, especially cos i saw them at reading in 08 and they were amazing!
