Nope. First saw them supporting Here & Now (who didn't turn up) in Guildford, and next at the (old) Marquee.

The very lovely wife bought me a big flower shirt for xmas, so they're still available.  

Ooh... I might have to get one sent over here.

I came in here with Forver Changes in mind.

 

Oh well

 

Joni Mitchell - Blue

Ha Blue was my second thought, I almost posted them both. Impeccable taste.

...And an even older classic from the first festival headliner...

THIS!  It was the very first album I ever bought, and I still have it (somewhere) - and it's still a great collection of songs.

Never heard of it?

Terrorvision - How to make friends and influence people 

[lukethekid]

Despite her disappointing 2019 Pyramid Stage performance, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

[Clarence Clemons]

One of the best double LPs of all time, moving across prog, reggae, rock, soul and other genres. #1973! Hoping to see my hero play live in the autumn. fingers crossed 😟

omg so big, sorry!

A couple of 00s indie classics. Not all of it was landfill, these 2 probably get lost in the mix but god they're good. Both seem raw yet polished, visceral yet composed. I know indie music gets some stick on here but these 2 albums have certainly stood the test of time.

A couple, if I  may beg your indulgence,

The Yes Album, recently Danny Baker tweeted which album would you most like to listen to right now "The Yes Album or Never Mind the Bollocks"? Much as I like NMTB it is an album more important as a milestone than a piece of music.

And this, this album takes me back to a very distant place (my youth).

Both classics IMO (but neither are my favourite album of all time)

Still sounds fresh and always good for giving your speakers a proper workout.

Has to be one of the greatest and most beautiful albums of all time.  Happy memories seeing Love with Arthur Lee at Glasto.

Always gave Slave To The Rhythm a play on route to Glasto every year when I still had a cassette player.

The Band - The Band

nice one, I've played this twice in the past week funnily enough ....there's a little Robbie Robertson piece in the most issue of the New Yorker which is a very quick read...  https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/03/16/the-band-disbanded

I love A Rush of Blood to the Head. I try to keep that quiet on here though.

It's a guilty pleasure this one. I think it's far better than Parachutes and then anything after this was pretty dreadful. The second side of this one is great, and Politik is a great album opener and was a fab set opener in 2002 on the Pyramid. 

2 things I'll say about Coldplay. They had a great 2nd album and they put on great Glastonbury sets (I've seen 2016 & '02). With them, I'm not into anything else but those 2 things.

I dedicate this post to all the naysayers. This album is a legit classic.

Agreed. I'm not even sorry.
