Elbow

[joe1990 fresh account]

SSK is the best album of the last 10 years

[lac999]

Have just seen that Villagers will be the support for their UK tour. I'd call this un-Glasto related but FANTASTIC news.

Having seen Villagers last year in Nottingham, I can tell you that anyone else going to the tour is now in for a double treat.

Have a quick look to get a good general idea of them/him.

SSK is not their worst album.

Not by a long shot.

I think you have just spent less time with it.

"As Amy Winehouse once replied when i asked her that,"all of 'em" RT @SimonHarrison12: @Guy_Garvey Are you doing any festivals this year???."

That still doesn't really tell us anything though.

[LondonTom]

Q: are you doing any festivals this year?

A: All of 'em.

No, doesn't say much at all really

[stf]

So his doing every singe festival throughout the summer yeah?

[Neeeeeedles]

Park headliner?

In my dreams this occured, thought I would pass it on as it could be a divine message

[simonthecyclist]

Yes definitely. Some great tunes but just not as good. I was pretty disappointed for a band I love so much. I hope they return to form with the new 'un.

[4AssedMonkey]

I may be over estimating their appeal, but the Park would split at the sides surely!? Other headliner one night is nailed on I reckon.

As I said it was a dream as in my opinion I think they are worthy oyramid headliners.

Just going up against u2 and primal scream I could see it...just.

[Porcelina]

3rd down before Arcade Fire, I reckon. They supported U2 on tour so it would be a natural slot.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Are you, sir, suggesting a Friday night of:

U2

Arcade Fire

Elbow

...My God!

[Mardy]

hehehe, a few people appear to have been at the SunnyD and are getting a little bit overexcited. U2, Arcade Fire and Elbow? Can't see it happening. More likely to be U2, some jools holland worthy but dull fake soul type, some 4th rate indie chancers.

Hope I'm wrong, mind, but nah, won't be those 3. Wishful thinking by some people.

[Porcelina]

Wishfully feasible, nevertheless.

Fair play. I really hope it happens. It'll make a lot of people very happy, and be probably the biggest run of artists lined up on the Pyramid. Here's hoping.

If they are there. and play Powder Blue, it will be the moment of Glastonbury, the summer, 2011, hell, even my life.

My only reservation for Elbow playing is the jonny come latelys who only know One Day Like This. I saw them play Wembley Arena a couple of years ago, and while it was utterly mind blowing as usual, I seemed to be the only one down the front that knew Scattered Black and Whites, which was a tragedy. I've been with them since day one, and while Im happy they've become big and successful, I kinda feel a little bit sad that they're no longer my band and my little secret.

Still, I hope they play, it will be fantastic, because Guy and the boys don't do anything else.

[dingbat2]

I know what you mean, I am not sure if I like the idea of them playing places like the O2, I don't think they are bigger enough, so I would not expect them to sell these places out. Fortuantely I have tickets to the warm up gig in Cambrdige which only has a capacity of 800 or so, so that will be immense!

I do not think they play Powder Blue these days, its a shame because it is one of their greatest songs.

Also I think SSK is their greatest album. I have been with them from day one, and think they have got progressively better with each album. I think the SSK v LOTFW debate depends on what it is you like about Elbow. I prefer the much slower songs such as Mirrowball, Weather to Fly, Some Riot and Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver on SSK. I am not as keen on the 'louder' Grounds for Divorce type songs which I think there are more of on LOTFW (Station Approash, Forget Myself, Leaders of the Free World, etc). Saying that The Stops and Puncture Repair are brilliant. Its all realtaive though, I think both albums are classics, as are Asleep in the Back and Cast of Thousands
