I think even Tobieski couldn't like RHCP after that.

Anything is possible

I miss the Lynx Man Wash

This is the most Couchy photo ever.

When I started college 2 n a bit years ago we had to go do all this ice breaker shit with our tutor group, and one activity was we had to stand in a circle and throw a ball to each other and answer questions, and my friend told everyone his favourite band was Radiohead and got some weird "you're a weirdo then" looks. I had to do it later in the day and said Radiohead, too (thought the fact less people would know their music than Muse's made them a safer bet), and someone asked me if I said radio.

Same week we sang Friday I'm In Love on karaoke in front of the whole 2,000 person college and cemented our status as the OG's of John Leggott College. I think only one person actually clapped at the end of it.

I remember when I had to do the ice breaking crap at my first day of college, I rolled up my sleeves as despite being 16 my arms were covered with tattoos and then started explaining the surreal plots from Haruki Murakami's books just to see what the reaction would be. These make friend tasks always piss me off.

Yeah it was a kinda weird thing to make us do at 16 years old. Sit in a circle and throw a ball to each other to introduce ourselves.

Jesus heck The Young Knives are shite. How did I listen to this stuff? I probably thought I was cool listening to The Young Knives, The Pigeon Detectives and The Enemy at the time, as well. So much wasted time.

Young Knieves are err...very incosistent. When they are good, they are brilliant but they do alot of filler shite! One of the few bands I quite like but have never managed to go and see live.

The Pigeon Detectives were awesome for a while, I still quite like their first two albums...but the other two are a bti shit.

I've thankfully never cared for the enemy, I saw them supporting the View (I know I know...) and they basically came on and swore for most of their set.

I give you a rating 2/3 for coolness there then

:lol:

may just start posting this any time you try and undermine my / other people's music taste

[Gucci Piggy]

Just quote the Musey sig

Tastes change

But that year or so between their first two albums, they seemed great! (Plus they write all their own stuff )

[devilman]

INRATS but...........

if Bombay Bicycle Club headline any of the main fests then I will never attend that festival again. Purely because that festival will have become so shit it won't be worth going to again. Bumfords are bad enough.

[sjseabass]

Apart from the fact that BBC are quite clearly great, if any single headliner booking put you off going to Glastonbury then you need to be sectioned

[devilman]

Put the electrodes on my napper now. Glastonbury doesn't appeal now but if that shower of tepid weakness ever headlined then it would have gone so far downhill that the brass band at the Sutton Sudbury WRVS coffee morning will get better crowds. They've already peaked and it was pathetic.

[Tobieski]

So Long, See You Tomorrow was a massive improvement for Bombay I feel, hopefully they'll continue in that direction

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah I thought it was really good, and I've never liked anything they've done previously.

[DGrant261]

They've already peaked

Chart positions, ticket sales, festival placing, critical reception and overall quality suggest otherwise.

[Muppetmark]

I can hope at faithless subbing libs

[Gucci Piggy]

Maybe, if you've never seen an R&L lineup before.

[dentalplan]

Would be desperate if Libs headlined next year too.

[Yellow_Fellow]

lolllll @ this nonsense that faithless are somehow not R&L

bollocks. They're so fucking encompassing it hurts.

[Gucci Piggy]

I think you're wrong on this one.

[Yellow_Fellow]

wow that's my favourite new meme

anyway NAW seriously why?? They aren't too poppy by any means and they sure as hell aren't too mainstream. They still have the iconic tracks and are instantly recognisable. I know it's a simplified argument but HEY SO IS EVERYONE ELSES probably

I can't think of when R/L has had an act that's in anyway comparable to them.

[Yellow_Fellow]

What criteria do they fall under to be incomparable?

[eFestivals]

a massive dance act.

I know the Chems played in the long distant past (tho only because their manager ended up on drums for The Fall), but other than that it's not what R/L tend to do - and the Chems don't class as 'pop' in anything like the same way as Faithless.

As I say, I can't think of any similar act who've done R/L. The nearest I can think of is New Order when they headlined in 1989.
