here's your headliners

[Trebor]

Crosby, Stills and Nash were great in 09. Broke my heart when nobody joined in at the end of Teach Your Children!

I don't reckon, I know

[Yesiamaduck]

you know you're crackers...?

[AdamWillingham]

Just curious, why, and how, did the Elton John rumours die down? Still hoping he's for Saturday

Only good Eagles song.

[innerspeaker]

of 4000 18-30 year olds with a glastonbury ticket, you think 3,879 would rather see one direction over the eagles?

You are crackers

[GlastoSimon]

Some of these 18-30 guesses 90%+ of 18-30 Glastonbury goers would rather see One Direction over the Eagles? Mental.

18 myself, I have Hotel California (the album that is) and their eponymous album, but nowt more. Take It Easy, Hotel California, Wasted Time, Witchy Woman, Life In The Fast Lane - all decent songs for me. Some of it does sound a bit outdated I have to admit.

It could be worse, could be Elbow. May still be Elbow...

Means there is a good mix for me - Arcade Fire as a definite, Eagles as a maybe, depends on what else is on, and Kasabian as a hell no.

That doesn't make any sense in the context of the argument as I was answering the first line.

Also going to knock points off for not using 'Quackers'

[brandycoke]

They're not really a 'strength-in-depth' band where you should be checking out their albums - they just have a couple of massive-selling greatest hits collections. More in common with ABBA or Queen than someone like Bowie.

[Yesiamaduck]

you're whole argument in context of the argument doesn't make any sense

[CaledonianGonzo]

Utter nonsense to lump Queen in with the Eagles.

I was turned on to Queen by their albums,and would never listen to a greatest hits/Best of, because it doesn't represent their best work, not by a long shot.

A Night at the Opera? Most of their albums are patchy granted but Night at the Opera gives out a real sense of the band in my opinion.

[Guest]

This sentence doesn't make any sense

[Yesiamaduck]

is it the missing 'the'?: "you're whole argument in the context of the argument doesn't make any sense"

is that better?

I'm trying to tune in to your logic

[5co77ie]

And they don't even do it live!

They've been doing the exact same setlist for 20 years. The lazy cynical c**ts.

Queen - Heart Attack, Opera.

And It's a kinda Magic. Mainly for Highlander.

And clearly we don't need to go into the merits of the original album release of Jazz ....

Nal - I'm kinda glad they don't do it live. I'd hate to miss it live, and equally have to sit through two hours of turgid corporate Americana w*nk in order to hear it live.

[5co77ie]

surely Desperado is their best song, and their best album too

[5co77ie]

so Queen are headlining? They wee terrific last time I saw them at Wembley Stadium, so are they gonna use a hologram of Freddie or have Bob Mortimer dress up for the evening?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What did I miss? Are Queen with Adam Lambert headlining or something?

[grumpyhack]

I don't normally contribute to the this band v that band discussions but for what it's worth I think there is can be a difference between bands who make good studio albums and those who can deliver a good live show. I appreciate some do both.

Queen built a reputation for great live shows and I suspect that any Queen show, even with a Freddie substitute, would get more of an audience response than The Eagles who I'd just be watching for old time's sake and who'd probably be going through the motions for the money. They could probably still do a good Legends slot but I don't think there would be much of a Pyramid spark.

[5co77ie]

Scottie started it. Queen or fry as prince I believe.
