Ahhh, yes! Tina Turner would be amazing!

I think you misunderstand (although TT would be rockin' like Dokken).

2020 is the year that Chain Reaction finally takes its place in the pantheon of Pyramid perfection.

That man RightBazza getting all up in the mix again.

Hell yes. Guest appearance from Bazza to hit the backing vocals would be the glace cherry on that particular bakewell

Stop in the Name of love, Baby Love, Upside Down, Chain Reaction, I'm coming out, You Can't Hurry Love, Why do fools fall in love, you keep me hanging on, love child, aint no mountain high enough,

That's 10 absolute barnstormers before we get into anything else.

It's often a song you wouldn't expect that lifts the legend slot. For Kylie, I expected it to be, CGYOOMH - but Chris Martin scuppered that. All the Lovers was the one that stuck out to me.

Watching that on TV was one of the moments that made me think "I want to be there".  That and Chic.

Yes they are 2 of my classics. I think Paul Heaton is very much in the same vein as Ray Davies and would be brilliant in that slot but I think I might be 10 years too early in suggesting it which is a shame as both their voices are up to it now and they might not be by the time his genius is recognised.

Queen with Adam Lambert would be special .. saw them last when Freddie was still alive 

If in the unlikely event Brian May decides killing badgers is actually ok they still wouldn’t play the legend slot.

Queen + AL is headliner stuff. They would annihilate the Pyramid, even without Freddie.

Been road testing the Rossinator's back catalogue on a sunny afternoon in the back garden.

I can once again confirm that this would absolutely fucking slap. Hits for days.

Agree. It would be phenomenal - especially from your shoulders! !!

[Hugh Jass]

How are the Ross pipes these days?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Seem to be in decent fettle, but the setlists are a bit dodge and she hasn't played outside of the USA in yonks. 

She's definitely on the primo shortlist though.

[Quark]

The other plus side of her appearing would be watching Nile Rodgers and Chris Martin fight it out to have their guest appearance first.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Like Nile Rodgers couldn't beat Chris Martin into a soup

Anyone giving serious consideration for Sir Clifford of Richardshire. Currently on tour, and no question he qualifies. If he brings Hank with him and drops Summer Holiday, Living Doll, The Young Ones, Devil Woman and Wired for sound? I know he's not Diana Ross, but in case she  doesn't want to fly...?

No.

My mum has the worst musical taste in the world, and her absolute favourite is Cliff. Anything she'd approve of should be ruled out on principal. I know that the slot is essentially for an older pop / mainstream act, but it only works well when it involves a bit of fun and/or kitsch - whereas Cliff still takes himself entirely seriously. It'd be all the things people complained about with ELO, magnified.

How about another beer for The Rossatron?

Wonder if incident's mum approves of dentalplan's Friends deep cuts.

[Hugh Jass]

Just heard someone on the radio. Possibly a bit young for the slot, but certainly a back catalogue of hits that would go down very nicely with the Sunday afternoon crowd...

Christina Aguillera?

Sir cliff played a gig on the Yorkshire coast last weekend.  Apparently a rather elderly audience was in attendance so much so they closed 1/2 the bars as nobody was drinking.  A near 8000 sell out as well

Barbara Streisand? 

[danmarks]

Ok. The who just mentioned glastonbury and wished they were there this year. Then said. Roger wants me to say more.

Yay! You survived Fuzzy! I did think of you as I melted at the Park on Saturday, on the verge of a wobbly as I searched for shade (none).

I survived! Thanks for the concern.

I had a wobble on The Saturday. I cant say I enjoyed Saturday afternoon, but I managed to get some shade near the Glade & made the best of it. I didnt see a few acts I wanted to & was thankful the temps dropped on Saturday evening... but overall I had a really good week.

I hope you had a good one!
