Drainage, maybe? That would help your gag make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the critical acclaim it recieved and the live reviews I am surprised at how instantly dismissive people are. Great booking and only Kendrick could have topped it for me. Meant to be off the chain live. Actually considering the love Prince gets on here, it would be a similar performance (not as good as Prince obviously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've heard of D'Angelo (although that's the extent of my knowledge), but I find it weird that some of you are criticising people for not knowing who he is. How is that their fault? Everyone on here is clearly an avid music fan, yet it's also clear a fair number of people on this board are not familiar with him. I'm not sure what to tell you...shit happens I guess? He's either not been marketed as well as he could have been, or a significant number of people on this forum (people who usually know much more obscure artists than this guy) have all made the exact same oversight.

I decide instead of doing that I'd quite literally post my opinion on a messageboard which I enjoy contributing regularly. I prefer a bit of discussion to solo research, but then I am fairly electric in that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I said that on a previous post. I was surprised because loads of people on here have filled me in on some pretty obscure artists and I just thought D'Angelo was really famous! Just depends on what you see/read/take in over the years (i'm 34 so knew him from back in the day!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite. And with all due respect to the fella, if the general consensus on even efestivals is a shrug of the shoulders and cries of 'who?', they aren't right for the slot before the most Capital FM headliner in Glastonbury history.

CaledonianGonzo Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 This board only represents a subset of Glastonbury attendees, generally a bit older and more likely predisposed towards rock music. That said, while he's a big name and a good booking I don't quite see him as Pyramid Sub any more than I do Beck, which maybe implies something skewiff with the poster.

Very strange. yeah, quite odd. probably the same people who have never heard of Massive Attack or Talking Heads or something. one of the most critically acclaimed R&B/Soul singers of modern times....

the wonderwhy Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 To be fair, there were people on here who'd never heard a Catfish and the Bottlemen song this time last year. We sorted that out pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this begs the question, in what order do you rank the different slots? I've always thought headlining The Other is a better slot than playing second fiddle on The Pyramid. In fact, I think I've always ranked headlining WH, JPT or The Park above subbing The Pyramid. Perhaps we should try to rank the slots as a community? Edited April 5, 2016 by jimmyt Added detail.

Nothing specifically against you, my bad if it came across that way, just saying that the kind of people who've never heard of Talking Heads or Massive Attack are exactly the kind of people who are going to be watching the Saturday sub slot.
