Sunday Legend

[willsnewman]

Tears for Fears? They just released a cover of Arcade Fire's 'Ready to Start'.

Not sure whether his apology was enough, but a little afternoon stage invasion could be fun.

I saw Todd play earlier this year in Gateshead. Concentrated mostly on his latest album and only conceded in playing a couple of hits as part of some techno megamix in his encore.

He'd be perfect for Spirit of 71 stage but would die on his arse on the Pyramid.

I'll stick my annual plea for Burt Bacharach here. Also, while probably not suited to the legends slot by himself, I noticed Mike Nesmith played a few shows over here in the summer.

Mott the Hoople anyone?

[sedra]

Dolly is over due isn't she? The Eavi have said they wanted her to play before.

[innerspeaker]

When is the last time weller played?

2007 , hated it apparently . Said the whole place should be tarmac'd over !

Fair enough, guessing we won't be seeing him then!

[Vieuphoria]

yeah but the manics said they should build a motorway over it, didn't they? They came back to headline and play numerous times after it.

What about Tina Turner? New tour (first in 8 years) and album in 2014...

[kaytee...]

Cher was on X Factor tonight. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen,

[Robinn]

Barry Gibb! That would be the highlight of my weekend!

Absolutely suitable I'd say. Solo Artist? Check. Long career? Check. Lots of sing along tunes? Check. A bit cheesy? Check!

She fits the bill, get her booked!

I saw Todd on the same tour, barely picked up his guitar, massive disappointment

Mike Nesmith would be great, not sure if he'd be big enough for the legends slot though

Michael Bolton UK tour in May. Possibility?

Hopefully. Theres a big Michael Bolton shaped hole on the wall of fame at Glasto HQ.

Always reminds me of this. First 60 seconds.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark?

I was surprised he hadn't done the legend slot before frankly. Sticks out as an obvious choice, if Bryan Ferry's not doing it that is.

Please god everyone tell me you're joking!

[The Nal]

What about a Michael Bolton/Brian Ferry duet album with a supporting tour. Thats headline material right there.

[dentalplan]

Please god everyone tell me you're joking!

It doesn't matter, aren't Sunday Legends supposed to be at least a little cheesy and crap?

EDIT: there are many exceptions to this.

Agree, as the post above says they are supposed to be cheesy, but there has to be a limit!

Whoops didn't read the other posts.

Lazy me.

Out of what has been suggested so far Annie Lennox would probably be my favourite. Think she would be wonderful.

He wouldn't be right for the slot but I reckon Gary Numan would go down a storm. Certainly Cars and Are Friends Electric would go down well. He was brilliant when I saw him in 2010. However, with his sort of stage show he would need the dark and he's probably not popular enough.
