What we need is a petition to get Coldplay banned for his tactless joke 

We just need to find someone who's never been to the festival before to start it.

Hmm I think you'll find you said you found the singer of Joy Division depressing, rather than Joy Division the band.

Personally I always found a lot of beauty in Ian's voice, and a soulful honesty in his lyrics. Neither of which Barney can lay claim to. Let's not even start on Barney's dad at a wedding dancing, or his constant whooping at inappropriate moments on stage.

Also, I can't say I know much of Depeche Mode's back catalogue but Techno? House? Disco? really?

Mate lets be honest here, although Martin Hannett  should take a lot of credit for the JD sound, it is Ian Curtis vocals and lyrics which are the force in Joy Division. The music is just a background to Ian pouring his heart out. I find no beauty in it what so ever, I find it extremely desolate and tragic.

Barney can't sing and he can't dance but hes a genius. Joy Division/New Order/Electronic is not a bad resume.

Have a dig into the DM back catalogue rather than take my word for it. Their early 80's image has put a lot of people off unfortunately.

No beauty in Joy Division?

You've broken my heart efests, you've broken my heart.

To be honest the main era of DM I'm familar with is the late 80's to mid 90's phase around Music for the Masses, Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion and always thought there was a pretty similar sound running through them, nothing to suggest as wide a pallet as you are contesting.

Ps. can't sing, can't dance (not that I care, just wish he'd not try...) but you're forgetting his lyrical nonsense. Up there with Noel Gallagher for utter meaninglessness.

Pps. I love New Order but how much of the sound is down to Barney, I haven't a clue. I always really liked the debut Electronic album but most of what followed left me pretty cold. He's basically been ploughing the same furrow soundwise for the last 30 years.

Dave Gahan is a star. Thats not the best rendition of Personal Jesus I have ever seen though.

I'm indifferent to both, they are effectively equal.

Whilst we're here: I also think LCD Soundsystem are not very good.  The Libertines are only famous because everything else was shittier than them.  Arcade Fire are okay.  ELO are uninteresting.  Blur haven't made a good album (but some good songs) since Modern Life Is Rubbish.  The Stone Roses are terrible live (I've seen them three times across the years, always bad).  Whoever headlines Glastonbury it'll have little to no bearing on whether you have an enjoyable festival.

Clearly Ozric Tentacles should headline Pyramid on the Sunday, with Jean Michael Jarre's 80's light show.

I agree a lot in that post... except I would have left the comment at "Blur havent made a good album".

Imagine Ozrics with that lightshow... and a sheet of strawberries...

[Spindles]

I went to that Jean Michel Jarre docklands gig, was well worth standing in the drizzle for.  Watched some of his recent gigs while tripping the other day and I just thought he looked hysterical, pretending to play and prancing around.

As for Blur, MLIR was the best thing they ever did, but I thought Parklife was still a reasonable record, not as inconsistent as everything that came after.

[Alan_C]

The Stone Roses can be terrible live, but if you are lucky enough to be there on a good day, there is nothing better. Blur are great man. MLIR is their best album (in my top 10), but they're wrong some brilliant albums. The Magic Whip is one of my favourite albums out of the last few years.

[Alan_C]

Also, I like Radiohead, and would love to see them live, but I am hoping they play Glastonbury this year even though I'm not going. I don't think I can cope with the meltdown on here, and another year of speculation/desperation that they will play in 2017.

Who will everyone obsesses over to headline in 2017 if they do it this year? Will it be back to Daft Punk, Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift and the glimmer of hope that Stone Roses might finally do it?

Chris Martin self-confirming via a racist joke is a Kanye petitioner's dream.

[Alan_C]

I don't think you can call him racist mind. He obviously just tried to be funny in his ridiculous excitable way and said a shit joke without thinking of how it might have sounded. I'm sure Chris Martin is not racist at all.

Whatever, man. I'm starting the petition to remove Coldplay the second they're announced...

Nah I agree. Just a bit of a daft blunder.
