Badlands Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 The younger me watched Robbie at V98 and rather enjoyed it. Actually, headlining V wouldn't be a bad shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in hindsight it's one of the better Britpop albums. He used to do a 'rock' cover of Back For Good as well. He's got some decent singles but I never listened to an album. There's a fair chance that if Angels hadn't kicked off he wouldn't have lasted 3 albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 The current Mrs Gnom has been a big fan of The Robster in the past, so I've heard a lot of him. Not altogether unpleasant, his second through fourth albums have some decent tunes on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrass Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 All this talk of Cheap Trick, Kraftwerk, Elton and Jethro Tull.

Quark Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Aside from the Williams, and I'm sorry to raise this, aren't U2 also meant to be touring in 2017? Could they be due an announcement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find nothing remotely enjoyable about his music. In fact I would rather watch James Blunt followed by the Lighthouse Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I've seen Blue Oyster Cult announced for a European festival next year too so you could move them to the first category. Would be aight for Acoustic I suppose. Just spotted Barry Gibb has been announced for Byron Bay Bluesfest so it looks like he is rejecting all advice and continuing his live singing career. Very good bet for a slot after this year. May I ask if he's much bigger than Art Garfunkel in the scheme of things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His new song is arguably the worst I've ever heard It would nearly be worth it being him just to watch that utter garbage go down like the shit sandwich it is. The big finale to the song, followed by a field of people stood in silence with their arms folded. Utter, beautiful, perfect silence. And staring. Broken by an awkward cough before 50,000 people turn away en masse to go and watch something else. I'm not a fan of his new song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
