It's a handful more than most.

? Fair point haha

[Amy Lawn]

I like the Arctic Monkeys, but let's be honest, anybody who classes them as anything more than pretty decent does not have very broad horizons.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fake Tales of San Francisco is a cracking wee number but they take to the stage with all the enthusiasm of a hungover toilet cleaner who's just been told he's got a pay cut.

Anyone care to bet a £5 donation to Water Aid that Mumford will not headline should they play.  Null and void if they don't turn up at all or do a secret set?

Not quite sure how you've come to such a ridiculous conclusion haha. What do you class as broad horizons? I'm an enormous fan of Elton John, Bicep, Gaga, Pink, The music of Oliver Twist, ELO, Green Day, Prodigy, Dusty Springfield, and Arctics are one of my favourite bands of all time... were you thinking it'd be limited to Kasabian and Oasis?

The bloke was spinning around on an office chair to certain songs a few weeks back and having whale of a time! To be honest, I go to gigs to listen to music. It's like when people criticised Noel in Belgium for "not talking to the crowd enough" - My word, haha!

Fake Tales is great, yes. They've had the bollox (and success) to change their styles and reinvent themselves over 6 albums which is more impressive.

My cousin's wife makes dresses out of meat and has had a high priority order placed by a confidential client for delivery in late June of next year.  

Somebody beat me to the Morrissey quip?

That's the best thing about music though isn't it, opinions? It would be pretty boring if we all just liked exactly the same stuff.. 

I'm flying 11 hours on Thursday to watch AM in America. If Mumford were playing outside my house, I'd pull the curtains on. Opinions...

No mate, you would all be cool as fuck if you liked New Order and Depeche Mode.

Haha. What's that new New Order documentary like? Gonna try watch it this week. Went to two of those Granada Studios gigs, they were excellent 

[Winslow Leach]

I like this idea that Arctic Monkeys are constantly reinventing themselves rather than, say, occasionally getting new haircuts.

[alframsey]

Everytime I've seen AM play live I've thought they were class, strange how people see things differently. Willing to accept that this could be due to a large dose of nostalgia on my part though with them being a band of my teen years.

Arctic Monkeys have got a handful of OK songs but a live reputation roughly equivalent to Dumpy's Rusty Nuts.

Could it be that despite not cutting it on record that Mumfords actually perform with some enthusiasm?

Boxhill, Boxhill, 'ere we come

I'd love it to be Macca,

But Stormzy, Macca and The Cure? 6 out of 6 male headliners two festivals in a row? Glasto is too "woke" (zzz) for that surely?

Stormzy - has he even sold out the O2 yet? Seems premature. The Cure is a good shout. I would have said Metallica based on their schedule but it seems too soon. Lars absolutely loves Glasto though and was there last year filming Bradley Cooper for A Star Is Born.

Eagles seems up Eavis' street - Billy Joel ruled out as Wembley is only UK performance. I hope Stormzy headlines Sunday night if it's him - so I can drive home early.

If Arctic Monkeys are a band live band can I have an example of a good contemporary one?

He's basically a slightly better, more mature Dizzee Rascal... ? Blatantly not headlining Pyramid.

If he does, fair enough, I'm all for something different. Plenty of other places to be!

I don’t think bands are contemporary. At least that’s what I was told by some guy before he grabbed the aux and played SOPHIE for the whole party.

He’s definitely more mature.

And? Arctic Monkey's best album is their least 'mature'.
