Ha! I think it was Les who did the moaning after 92 as Jim has been back to play a couple of solo gigs - I saw him in 08 in the Left Field

Fair enough - then again it didn't stop Wiley coming back this year after slagging off the festival a few years ago.

[Northern Soul]

In answer to the title thread I would have to say the church, it's been just about 4 centuries now. Long overdue in my humble opinion...!! 

[Gucci Piggy]

BearFur.

[K2SO]

Oasis for me. Probably wouldn't be as much of a surprise for people as The Smiths or Led Zep, but it would be one hell of a party seeing them live!

[ClovenFin]

Rage Against The Machine, clearly.

[MrZigster]

Adam and the Ants.

For the legends slot.

[MrZigster]

Rush. Of course.

Not technically totally split up, but definitely retired from touring apparently.

[504329lt]

My Chemical Romance 

[BlueDaze]

Imagine Abba doing Portaloo...

Why? Why? Why?

Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Kylie Minogue, Madonna and ABBA etc are still alive and you want to put Adam and the Ants on?

On a slide sideways shift, are Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams dated enough to qualify for the legends spot?

For the legends slot. He was massive once and is wrongly overlooked.

The list you mentioned next are (bar one) not split up/retired as far as I know and all are still (probably) big enough to headline.

I'll agree with Bryan Adams for legend slot (or even higher). A truly great songwriter. A master of the pop tune. A great guitar composer. Reckless was hardly off my turntable the year it came out.

But if he does that Robin Hood tune he can do one.

Boney M crazy like a fool

From the ones not mentioned in that poll, Pulp or N.W.A. I think Pulp re-reuniting is almost certain. If The Libertines and Stone Roses could do two reunions with all the sheer animosity between members of those bands, then I don't see why Pulp wouldn't

Ice Cube has said that he's ready for an N.W.A. reunion, but Dr. Dre being something of a recluse has hindered it. You'd have thought something would have happened with the film the other year, but maybe that ship has sailed.

Pavement would be cool as well.

Out of the ones on that poll, The Smiths, R.E.M. or The Jam would be brilliant.

Dirty Pretty Things

As I missed them headlining last time, I'd like to see The Verve reunite. I also thought Forth was a bloody great album so there's plenty of decent material since they last played. Luckily I did have the chance to see them at V. But there's no better place to see a band than the pyramid headliner. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Sooner see Keane reform than dickead-magnets Oasis and Swedish House Mafia tbh

Yeah but imagine not liking Abba. Yer man's going to start saying he hates cake next.

Cake is bad.

Wasn't sure where to put this so resurrecting this thread.

How do smelly old Oasis have more votes than ABBA? Shocker.

I attended their "Last Ever Show" at Brixton Academy in 2007. Think they've had a least 7 "Last Ever Shows" since then mind...

 

They've stopped now. I went to the last one (almost 3 years ago).

[Gnomicide]

From the list, I've gone for one of the few bands I really regret never having seen.

Yes, they'd be shit.

Yes, they've already reformed once for a money grabbing tour that I didn't go to.

But man alive, I'd live to see the Pistols.

Well I'd rather hear the earlier stuff - i.e. before Green. 

I was going to shout you down for the post-AFTP embargo, but their IRS years material is amazing. I had the best of on cassette, listened the shit out of it. Beautiful stuff.

Snap. Beat me to it. 

I dunno, once they'd played The Power and Rhythm Is A Dancer I think it'd go a bit quiet.

Fighting Fit was better

Just realised I'd been a smartass but completely ignored the question. Having seen REM once, as much as I'd love to see them at Glastonbury I'd have to go for The Jam.

I was wondering how you'd cope without being able to vote for Pearl Jam old son
