While I have absolutely awesome taste, I do love me a bit of power metal, despite how cheesy it is.

About 5 years ago I remember getting judged for my love of early 80s synthpop, but it's become credible again (and I put that entirely down to my lack of shame about it)

There's a few of the classic rock bands that are a bit cheesy that I still like (T.Rex, Aerosmith), and then there's other older bands that turned to absolute dirge and the name is now associated with the crap rather than their great early stuff (Roxy Music, Genesis, Aerosmith).

And I've got some shitty 00's indie in my collection, but most of that I wouldn't describe as a pleasure any more.

Agreed, I'm a fan of Jake Bugg's records but saw him support The Killers at iTunes fest 2012 and thought the dullness could've been due to it being his first live streamed gig etc, and therefore gave him another chance, but he was equally as boring at Shepherd's Bush a few months later.

I thought they were fun, as they pretty much played a hits set with very little from Battle Born (which hadn't been released at this point), but that's as far as I'd go to be honest. Wouldn't bother seeing them at a bigger venue. Same goes for Kings Of Leon, who I saw at iTunes Fest last year.

I thought they were utter shite tbh. I'd never seen them before and while they basically played the entirety of their greatest hits, it was the most boring show I've seen from a band of their stature and size. I was pretty disappointed I'd spent £50 quid on it afterwards!

    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
