Which Year Had The Best Pyramid Headliners Line-Up?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Wish I'd have gone in 2003.

Didnt go in 2003 or 2009.

Surprised so many people are voting for 2009.

Springsteen - meh, I would have gone somewhere else.

Neil Young - Fair enough, Ill give you that one, class.

Blur - Dull (Id have been at the other stage for the Prodigy if I was there)

Of those up there, like most people are saying, it's between 2003 and 2009 for me, probably leaning towards 2003. However in the end I voted for the final option, on the basis that 1997 had Radiohead, The Prodigy and Ash which would've been glorious (although tempered a little by Kid A not being out yet).

This year has potential, though, I must say (although I won't be at Kasabian, they're a lot better than Beyonce and Mumfords for the Sunday slot...).

2009 looks by far the strongest on paper but Springsteen really let the side down, so I've gone for 2003.

Best headline set I've seen by a mile though was Blur in 2009.

[Krazypinkminx]

2011 because it was my first glasto

[willutalk]

Genuinely cannot decide on this poll.

[Sketchead]

Difficult one. Between 2004 and 2008 for me and I opted for 2004.

Wouldn't pay to see McCartney or Muse but would definitely watch them at a festival and that's what festivals are about for me.

[ThomThomDrum]

Its a tough one for me if I base it on the premise that I would go to all 3. Id say its between the following

'95 - Oasis, Pulp, The Cure

'98 - Primal Scream, Blur, Pulp

'03 - R.E.M, Radiohead, Moby

The likes of Ash and Travis really fuck up some good years..............

'03 probably shades it. But just.

I understand the love for '09. Im just not into the Boss. Never have been and never will. Was there and was banjoed. Wanted to give him a shot and what better way then "a free trial" at Glasto? Well the drink got the better of me. Fell asleep (fell unconscious) in someones camp chair and woke up to some friends standing around me wanting to leave as they had had enough 30 mins or so in. I was not going to protest. Heard it got better in the end but I was not pushed...........

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

95 & 03.

[dondo]

Even though wasn't there that year but 2009 from what I saw on tv etc sticks out as the best.

For years I have been then the only time I've watched 2 pyramid headliners in full is 2003 so would vote for that probably if it was one I was at

[beecee]

I think 2003 shades it overall for my favourite festival, but didn't see REM (Julian Cope - Acoustic) or Moby (Sigur Ros/Doves - Other). 2009 for Pyramid headliners all the way. Wasn't blown away by Brucie but the other two were great and only time I've seen all three headliners.

[chrislfc]

2007 should have been brilliant but the weather and the sound quality ruined it.

2009 was excellent although I did swerve Blur for whoever was on The Other Stage.

2004 should have been good too but Oasis were below par.

Last year was fantastic Friday and Saturday too, very strong shows them two. If anyone decent had been on the Sunday last year it would be pushing it.

[neilloggie]

I wasn't there but i went with 2004.

[Gnomicide]

09 - did'nt go (idiot!) though at the time I wasn't really bothered about Blur. I liked them but didn't own any CDs, I may have wandered off somewhere else but like to think I'd have watched them. That gig looked brilliant on TV though.

I love a bit of Bruce so would have been there for that and Young looked immense.

[FloorFiller]

i'm not a Sprinsteen fan but in terms of having three unarguably deserving, respected, time-tested and huge acts at the top, it has to be 2009. nobody could argue that those three acts shouldn't have been there, which you can't say for a lot of other years (mostly due to a lot of them having a fairly new act who's ability to headline is brought into question)

[wbarenno]

2004 for me then followed by 2011

[Spindles]

2009 stands out as a year that people love. 2003 is the year I'd most have liked to have attended but didn't, R.E.M and Radiohead on the same weekend is priceless.

[wirralchris]

2003 for me! it's the only year i've ever watched more than one pyramid headliner! wathed Doves on the other on the sunday instead of moby!

[johnomatic]

Based purely on the acts (and not the performances in hindsight) I went with 2010, the only year out of these I would have gone to see all three without question. 2009 a close second, given I love Blur and the Boss, though I don't mind a bit of Neil Young and to say he certainly seemed to put on a good show would be an understatement.

[When Jokers Attack]

Very few shows I'd have ahead of this released on DVD in full. It was a brilliant show.

[Wooderson]

I actually have the full show on DVD. not BBC but it's pro-shot. Pretty good if I remember, It's been a while since I viewed it mind.

[When Jokers Attack]

Really? Surprised none of that has made it to Youtube.

Watch the REM set from 2003.. when you add ontop Radiohead it is case closed to me.

So wish I was at that one.
