Are there bands out there who sound great, original and inspiring and with some thing more to say than I do want to have sex with you or I dont want to have sex with you?

And who will go into the music hall of fame from this last decade too?

Is Julian Cope good again yet? I've had enough of LAMF, Brain Donor etc.

I want a return to Jehovakill and Peggy Suicide stuff.

I shouldn't be saying this because a friend is involved with LAMF and Brain Donor.

Problem is that in the era of X-Factor/Pop Idol etc. that chart success and huge sales bear absolutely no relation to the quality of the work, it's about how it's marketed to the gullible, fast food eating TV junkie idiots. There is ALWAYS great music about, but in dark times as these you have to look harder.

In terms of acts with longevity and quality from recent times I'd probably single out Doves. Great great songs with depth and feeling, created with craft and guile by people who know how to write, perform and produce outstanding music. I'm as surprised now as I was when their debut album came out that they aren't mega-star popular.

    • That second part was how I felt about Rock IM Park this year trying first. I found that when it gets to like the 3rd act on the main stage down, you've gotta make a choice to miss anything leading up might not enjoy and it's sometimes while closer for not a great view as everyone in turn has to make the call too. Being short doesn't help as I'd just be able be further bacm but still see.
    • I wasn’t slagging Scooter off, they are undeniably silly. As I said, they are the definition of a meme booking for Download. People requested them for years because it was silly.

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
