A little respect is one of my all time favourite tunes and saw them many times in my early teens. If they did play the pyramid, I'd definitely be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meaning "Parklife" and "Girls and Boys" obviously, they're both shit and not representative of the rest of the album. Clover Over Dover has a beautiful melody, even if the lyrics are cheesy. Parklife and Girls and Boys are very much representative of the album. They're of very similar vein to Tracey Jacks, Bank Holiday and Jubilee - that's 33%. There's absolutely no shame in loving the indie disco overplayed tracks along with the minor key gentler efforts.

Mr.Tease Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I hate Petsounds (and all the Beachboys music), but I enjoy listening to The Best of Kenny Rogers- I usually pretend it's because my parents made me listen to it in the car as a child (they had 3 tapes- Stevie Wonders 'I just called', Elkie Brookes, and Kenny Rogers), but have secretly grown to enjoy his music and was secretly delighted when he played glastonbury?

Quark Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 On the topic of parents' music, alongside all the normal stuff like Beatles, Stones, Simon & Garfunkey (thanks @bombfrog ) my childhood has left me with an enduring and unshakeable love of the Carpenters. Goodbye To Love is one of the all-time great tunes to sing in the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why secretly? The fact that Islands In The Stream has been played 4 times on the Pyramid by all 3 key players is probably my favourite thing about Glastonbury.

Did you like the covers album that came out in the 90s? I still love the Redd Kross version of Yesterday Once More, shows what a great song is when you can do it in a completely different way and it's still great.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I left Radiohead in 2017 after ten minutes and had the time of my life at Dizzee Rascal. There is some absolute "dross" in my top listened to songs of 2018 (according to spotifywrapped.com)... but the heart wants what it wants...

Kizzie Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 'Hotel California' is one of my all time favourite songs, I know every word and can sing every note of the guitar lead break. I can't abide Prince, Amy Winehouse was completely overrated, and Bruce Springsteen at Glastonbury made me weep with the pain of dullity. (Made that word up) (Also only stayed for 2.5 songs) (Neil will swear it was 3 songs) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so mad Karen is dead and I’ll never get to sing along with her live. Beautiful south too. And I still love Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott. I cried real life happy tears when glastonbury announced the were back together and playing, then 30 seconds into their first song, I cried again. They sounded just like they did on the cd ?

maelzoid Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I think Blurred Lines is a great song, and the uproar about the lyrics is totally ridiculous. I think All about that bass is an appalling song (maybe not controversial), and people really should be upset about those lyrics, which basically say to larger girls (in a novelty song which appeals to children) "don't worry if men don't objectify you for having a slender figure, they can still objectify you for your arse!"

I think both songs have terrible lyrics but they are quite catchy. If we start going into songs with questionable lyrics that we like we could be here for a long time!!!
