Headliners 2015

[Mouseboy11]

Who won Glastonbury's emerging talent contest again? I'm getting nothing from Glastonbury's Twitter.

I get he's only a kid but it's a no from me on Declan.

Thank you. I accept there are plenty of people who think that Swift is no different from many other manufactured pop singers. I know she is nothing like them and that's why I like her and it's also why she's held in high regard by many of her fellow performers and critics alike.

Well if she isn't manufactured pop she certainly sounds like manufactured pop and that's what most of us go by.Admittedly I haven't heard enough of her to form a proper opinion but I heard enough to know that it's not for me.Each to their own tho.

They're probably referring to the 21 grammy's to be fair.

Grammys mean fuck all critically, it's a commercial award. Mumford and c**ts won best album for Babel FFS.

Absolutely.

Yeah but kanye's also one of the most acclaimed mainstream artists of the 21st century

[Scotdy]

The secret to the internet I find is to not give a fuck about other peoples opinions on things you like as they will also like things you don't and so on.

I think Stevie Nicks is a full on GILF, people look at me strange when I tell them this. True story.

[DefLeppard]

Yep. I was told that from someone. If it's wrong it was a major major porkie. Neil knows the info.

Wooooo. That will be great! Reckon 3rd down on Pyramid?

you don't have to like them or agree with it, but anyone saying that Taylor Swift and Kanye West aren't critically acclaimed is just highlighting their own stupidity and/or ignorance.

hi

want to be friends

[Superscally]

With any justification? Yes, his production is top class, but his mic work and live performance is poor. Why don't we have Mutt Lange, Nigel Godrich and Flood headlining the Pyramid?

"Acts X & Y are only commercially successful!"

*Provides proof to the contrary*

"Critical acclaim means nothing! Critics are stupid, and they have cooties."

Tell me about it, I'm getting text messages every 10 minutes.

This is a real rarity in this thread

The strongest argument I think I've ever seen in this site

[Andy0808 v5]

The guy who won that emerging talent competition looks like Tim Burgess and Liza Minelli's love child

[mjsell]

Each to their own. Horses for courses and all that. He is very good live though - even when you take his age out of it. And is a seriously good lyricist, for someone that doesn't have too many life experiences as of yet. Brazil is about Sepp Blatter. Just wait til he gets a girlfriend.

Now that I'm clear that we think the opinions of journalists and music industry types are more important than us normal people, I can totally see why Kanye is a headliner, with that vast array of grammy awards he and his record company have bought. My real problem with Kanye is that he's a despicable misogynist who tries desperately to be edgy and "real" but ends up as the walking-accessory of a manufactured woman famous for being stupid and vain (Ahhhh, I've just worked out why they're together). And, as we are using awards as a guide, surely Clapton with his 17 Grammys (awarded over a considerable period of time, hinting at sustained quality rather than being the fashionable tit of the year) would be a more deserving booking. Cue the backlash from the Kanye-crew, with their love of the n-word and hatred of women, pointing to 40 year old quotes from a coke-addled Clapton proving how racist he is.

Taylor Swift can get to f***, though. She hasn't won nearly enough Grammys. The only logical choice for Sunday headliner is Alison Krauss.

[Keithy]

God, we're getting desperate for something to talk about if we're resorting to who is more critically acclaimed and who has won more baubles at corporate events their record company has paid for them to enter.

Hate it when that happens

[CaledonianGonzo]

When you think about it, it's really the Kanye fans that are the racists and misogynists, and to prove it I'll drag his wife into it for no reason to have a pop at her, then defend an actual racist.

That'll show them.
