budvar Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 No tens for me but a few nines. Good work again Budvar - I look forward to the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Good to see Flaming Lips won this last year. Couple of 10s given by me. Also a couple of 0s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budvar Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 If it is, then we are a pair of saddos. The worst thing is I know I am going to be absolutely furious if someone like coldplay or kaiser chiefs come out on top.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Without wishing to offend anyone, I think it's safe to say that this board is largely populated by saddos (I'm certainly one) I think it's highly unlikely that either of those acts will come out on top (there will always be a certain number of people who watch, but don't like/enjoy the big acts) My guess would have been Pulp, but it looks like they might have some competition... Either way, hopefully, it will be a fair refelction of what people thought of what they saw. We're up to around 130 responses. I'd like to get past 200 to feel that we've got a decent sample (we could have got more if I'd put it up sooner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyt Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Just finished - too right all those people who said that it just makes you realise what you missed! I scored everything that I saw at least a part of - Beyonce getting a well deserved nil points for not actually bothering to sing her own songs (well, choruses at least - I left after two songs because I value my ears and if I wanted table top dancing, I'd go to Peppermint Elephant's), but several tens from me because they were everything I could have hoped they would be; that'd be Pulp, Stornoway (haven't seen enough people discussing how utterly brilliant they were - and funny too!), Kool & The Gang. There may have been another but I can't remember it now! Doh! Now waiting with anticipation for the results - bet it's been hijacked by the Radiohead fanboys!

sisterofmercy Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 What a great idea It does make you see just how much music you missed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leekstokie Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Coldplay the only band who got a 10 from me, Elbow a very good 9 and the surprise band for me was the Gaslight Anthem I thought they were awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robith Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I would've thought Pulp would saunter it as everyone would give them an automatic 10. But I rex the Chems will top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuffsaid Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 10's from me for Imelda May, Hurts and Yuck ........Sparrow on the introducing stage may have got a 10 if it was on. Biggest let down Paul Simon. Loved the festival though, as with everyone missed someone I wanted to see and saw someone I didn't expect - and particularly with Hurts was very impressed.

1mills Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 A big fat 0 for Glasvegas! (I was only there because I was working! Almost gave them 1 because it made me laugh how few people turned up and how bad it was!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 YAY just done mine, thanks for doing this again, can't wait to see results. Like everyone has already said, just WOW at the acts I actually missed. For the acts I saw mostly 8s, two 10s, few 9s and a couple of 6s and below but not many which is pleasing. I am really interested in seeing what people give Ok Go, one of my favs acts of the weekend and I wasnt massive fan before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budvar Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Did they get a really bad turnout then? I've seen them 3 times and really think they are terrible live. Was surprised they got a headline slot, but suppose the hype was still from previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyt Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Unlikely - I'm a Radiohead fanboy and I gave them a 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robith Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I am a huge fan of your honesty! As much as I want to be cool and hip, I don't really like anything since OK Computer. The Bends is still in my top ten albums ever. Any chance that they've reached the point where the radical and different thing to do would be to make an album full of melodic songs yet? I doubt it, but I'll bet they've got some great indie-pop left up their sleeves for if they get bored! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill0707 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 First of all thanks for all the tine spent to do this pulp and coldplay my 10s a respectful 9 for elbow and a nice 0 for beyonce who was beyond awful!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
