Lennon, McCartney and Harrison each had ten times the songwriting chops of Gary Barlow, and The Beatles had all three of them! The marketing of TT can be compared to the early days of The Beatles on a basic and very simplified level but the latter grew into something far more credible and interesting than Take That could ever be. There’s no comparison worth talking about, before you even get onto the legacy The Beatles left behind which continues to influence music 50 years later.

Sorry if this sounds like mansplaining btw.

Yes, I recall the frog chorus as a highlight of Paul's career  (ok I do own that single - I was young). So it took 3 brilliant songwriters to achieve their success in comparison to only 1 main songwriter for Take That's success. Sorry just being pedantic there.

Who knows what influences will be in music 50 years from now, I wont be around to say wether he will. But Adele has said Spice Girls were an influence on her, so it's not impossible.

They were a raw rock & roll band who played for a few years before the hits started. Yes, all the Beatlemania may give the impression they were a pop act for girls to scream at, but at heart they were always rockers. 

Maybe because I was brought up listening to my dad's Elvis and Little Richard records my idea of rock'n'roll is different then.

Macca - 80%

Cure - 60%

AM - 50% (still not certain that “iconic festival “ isn’t IOW)

I'd go 80% on all, even with Arctics. They are an easy booking for the festival and given their tour dates and the fact they'll probably do an outdoor tour next year the money will be there.

We're having some Gambino tho right?

Seems to be ‘good info’ on all three. I’m not convinced though - would be the first time there’s never been a new Pyramid headliner. 

[DownboundTrain52]

Despite a relatively solid feeling on it - though it may just be optimistic hope - I'm gradually thinking that The Cure may turn out to be a red herring.

Genuinely don't think that's that big of a deal. There's an entire generation come to adulthood since The Cure last did it. And Macca's not far behind.

What do you rabble think about Take That headlining? I don't mean in terms of musical taste, but in terms of likelihood.

won't happen.

My well-sourced info tells me that Barlow isn't interested and won't give in to the others wanting it.

Which was probably going to happen at some point. Say FATM did it...it would still technically be a returning headliner...plus it would be argued 4 years isn't long enough. The 1975 would be the only option around atm probably but if they've been offered headline and not at Glastonbury theb you have to say those slots these days while at your peak. I don't think there is enough in them maybe to headline Glastonbury then R&L the 2nd year plus their big tour....a secert slot perhaps.

At least it's not two returning from the same year as headliners.

If this is because of Jeremy Corbyn’s speech, that’s the most useful thing he’s ever done.

Embarrassed and ashamed that we stood by and let it happen.
