The Charlatans

[mufcok]

Not sure if they've been mentioned yet but their new album is out in 2 weeks. I'd love to see them at Glastonbury

[srb]

Yes, now that would be quality. I second that motion

Always welcome.

Certainly not everyone's cup of tea but some of their earlier stuff is top draw.

Ideal listening for some mid-afternoon boozing

I am going to watch them in Leeds in March mainly for old times sake. I used to absolutely love them. The Charlatans LP and Telling Stories were 2 of my fave albums. I did not think much of the 1st 2 singles taken from the forth coming album but I quite admire them for continually trying to evolve, even if some of it is not to my tastes.

They always put a good show on live and would go down a treat on a sunny afternoon.

Would be great to see at a festival and I imagine they'd get a good crowd.

It has been 3 years since they were on at V, surely they are due back there??

[Size9]

Yes please. This would be quality. Seeing them perform sproston green on the pyramid would be amazing.

I saw them headline some festival up north a few years ago. I dont think the music has aged well. Loved them back in the day when my ears were young and naive, but things have moved on now.

early afternoon pyramid or other stage for them I'd say.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Mid Other Stage slot I'd imagine. Would watch, clashes depending.

I think tellin stories and the eponymous one still stand up today, along with a lot of some friendly, but their later stuff not so much.

The eponymous album always gets a play in the summer. Don't know why but that has always been a summet album, where as I listen to stuff like St Ettienne in the winter.

I understand what people say about some of the older stuff not ageing well, but there are too many memories attached to some of them songs for me not to like them. Plus Weirdo sounds good no matter what. I am going to watch them in Leeds so that if they do pop up at a festival this year then I could miss them with a clear heart if they clash.

Yeh I would go and see them dont get me wrong because as you say there are a lot of good memories attached to those songs, but I wonder what people who have never heard them before think of them.

[Perks]

Yeah I'd check them out. Like you guys, I loved them back in the day bad always enjoyed them when I saw them live. When I saw they were touring again, didn't get tickets on the hope they'd show up at Glastonbury. We thinking Other if they are? I'd prefer JP! But as-long as they played My Beautiful Friend I'd be chuffed

[Space Shanty]

Opening salvo to 'One to Another' is still one of my all-time favourites.
Great memories of going mad at indie clubs as a youth

[mufcok]

I thought You Cross My Path was an excellent album, an enjoyable listen every so often

[Woffy]

I like Between 10th & 11th.

There, I said it.

[Badlands]

I don't think they've aged at all. The eponymous album and Us & Us Only still hit the spot for me. I'm also a big fan of Up at the Lake, a very underrated album.

I've not seen them for a long time mind, caught a couple of songs at V when I was there for the Roses a few years ago.
