Sunday Legend 2016

[Gnomicide]

Horace!

Horace!

Horace Horace Horace Horace Horace Horace Horace Horace

 

What's not to like?

Sounds like a Travis lyric......

Was devastated at the lack of Horace Wimp at the Glasgow show.

But in terms of ELO being the most talked about act of the weekend come Monday morning, I'd be surprised.  At least, in a world where Adele is also playing.

Can't really disagree with this.  Not as showbizzy as previous legends, but musically superior IMO.  Would have been a worthy headliner to be fair.  As you and I know, popularity and media column inches are no measure of quality.

Do you think they'll play Diary of Horace Wimp? Arguably one of my favourite songs of theirs and they haven't played it on this tour (or hardly ever I don't think?)

See I think in isolation all these songs -apart from telephone line which I think is shite - are really good enjoyable singalong songs. But put them all after one another and it's all a bit samey. A twenty song greatest hits album is an endurance test I'd struggle finishing. 

That's OK Scruff.  You're allowed your incorrect opinion and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Then it's lucky that you'll not be having a headphones moment on the sofa but crowdsurfing on a UFO-shaped inflatable dressed as a Wild West Hero and tanked up on industrial-strength scrumpy.

[crocodiles]

Can't wait to see elo particularly for wild west hero telephone line and off course if the sun's out Mr blue sky 

[Smeble]

If it's been a sunny weekend and still sunny when they are on, ELO will be the perfect teatime band, uplifting singalong tunes, great light show ( shame they aren't on after dark) if it's been another 2007 and everyone is a bit cold and miserable they may struggle to fill the pyramid field, personally I don't care, I'm a huge fan and will be up the front whatever the weather.

if 2016 could stop, with Rick Parfitt heart attack yesterday and now Meat Loaf collapsing on stage.

You're more welcome in the weather thread than he would be at the farm (for me). 

Cliff > ELO

[CaledonianGonzo]

Pfffft.  No chance.

He doesn't even do Living Doll.

I'd not even heard of them before the announcement, tried to get into their stuff on youtube but just dont have any interest in it whatsoever

which is a shame, love the traditional sunday legends set, will be the first year i dont do a box of wine in sat at the main stage all afternoon with the whole crew that usually split up all festival

Plenty of stuff i do like elsewhere, but it wont be the same :/

Bought my Mum tickets to that. My old man got dragged along with her. She loved it needless to say.

An hour of bangers from Cliff at 1pm. Then Phil Collins get on with the 4pm Legends slot. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm not saying that Cliff should never do it, but in a world where Elton and #RightBazza have yet to bring it on home he's not the #1 candidate.

Elton is still headline material a la Stevie.

#RightBazza should be doing it though, but in a way maybe better headlining West Holts, bringing a disco party like EWF.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I don’t necessarily disagree that Elton could headline the whole caboodle, but worth noting his recent announcement as the big draw for Radio 2’s Hyde Park bash, given who headlined it two years ago.

 

#RightBazza would be too big a draw for WH. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

BBC 4 showing The Chin's full set from last year at 10.45pm tonight.

Then the (very worthwhile) Sunday Legend retrospective compilation is on afterwards at 11.45pm.

Just watching Lionel Richie's set and although I do like ELO, my issue is that Jeff Lynn forgot to have a personality and therefore I doubt it'll have the same feeling as past legends.

I quite agree! I was really disappointed that it was ELO. I was hoping for someone like Elton or Rod at the very least considering the stature of Lionel and Dolly in previous years. 

[cowmadiddy]

If anything - it should be Madness!

Yeah they'll probably be back next year, but so what!!

[Gucci Piggy]

I'd rather have someone with good songs rather than personality tbh.

Elton would be good. Rod Stewart? Fuck that.
