I'm really confused, like others here I can't think of anything particular she's done. But I know she's inexplicably popular in the states. In fact the only thing of hers I can think of is the boob thing from the not very good rugby.

You've done it now m8

You said she's inexplicably popular but you don't know anything about her. That makes no seance. You're judging by the lack of your knowledge, which is always a bad judgment. It would be like me saying that Noel is inexplicably popular in the UK, and I never heard any of his songs, and I don't even know how that man looks like. So how would I know if his popularity is explicable?

She is one of the most influential and innovative artists ever. The only reason she wasn't as big in Europe as in the States is she wasn't singing trash pop songs. But she still had greater success in Europe alone, than Kylie globally, which means she was huge in Europe too.

WHOA!

How many artists invented a new music genre that was later followed by Michael Jackson and many other superstars? If there wasn't Janet's Control, we wouldn't get Michael's Bad. If there wasn't Janet's Rhythm Nation, we wouldn't get Michael's Dangerous... And so on. She influenced him much more than Michael ever influenced her.

Pithcfork: Meanwhile Jackson’s sister Janet had recently delivered a hard-stomping R&B-pop classic in 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814. Its influence on her older brother was so great that he even asked Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to produce Dangerous. Out of loyalty to Janet, they turned him down.

The Guardian: (Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814) Its industrial-tinged, more hard-edged pop sound would go on to influence Michael Jackson’s subsequent album Dangerous, especially the single, Jam.

    • Thanks man for sharing your thoughts. I would say i generally agree with you and do agree people close to the podium should position themselves further back if they want to have full conversations and apparently are not interested in the music; to fair it is mind boggling these people are even there as chatting gets so much easier in the back field. That said i did not really have the same experience as you, front rows for example at MBV, Men I trust, Big Thief, NewDad, Slowdive, where really into the music.    yes i BBK is really high on our list but we just realized it is next year 25 years of Primavera so perhaps we do one more. 
    • When does the Thursday lineup get announced? I see they had Moonchild Sanelly and Young Knives last year, would be cool to get something along those lines again.
    • Where did you see this?
    • No idea how it'll work in a festival setting but really enjoying Prewn at the moment. 
    • Lineup announced, with the dates having been pushed back to 12th and 13th September. Tickets on sale tomorrow 8:30am.   12th September Chaka Khan Jack Savoretti Lulu Emeli Sande Texas ABC The Script   13th September Simple Minds Deacon Blue Level 42 Appleton Blue James Blunt Cast   I think it’s a pretty weak lineup compared to previous years to be honest - and think it’s quite lazy they’ve gone down the Scottish route so much (not sure Simple Minds would be classed as a headliner elsewhere in the UK).
