grumpyhack Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) 2009 and three sent home? 2009 was a great year - Springsteen (though he didn't get Glastonbury), Neil Young, CS&N, Blur. Edited May 25, 2020 by grumpyhack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian the worm Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I guess the answer depends on how the question master defines headline. Also, we now have a few questions going simultaneously and as Crazyfool said recently, it’s best to keep them one at a time. Bamber has the 5 number ones they saw in one day. The black headliner question needs an answer - but as that question was asked out of sync, I think that the next question is due from Grumpyhack who got the swine flu.

grumpyhack Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 While we are awaiting Bamber's brain teaser, once he's tested his eyes with a quick detour to a beauty spot, perhaps I could enlist a few more players for the Word Association Game found here A simple idea. You find a piece of music that somehow connects to the link word of the previously posted track and add it to the list with a new clip and word to link to.

parsonjack Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 @bamber do you want to give the answer to the 5 artist/single question or can we defer back to @grumpyhack? Need to keep the thread alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: No. Bryan Ferry's wrong OK, I now realise that at least one of the two other tunes was not actually the Original Artist. This was 2014 though and the it was the 4th UK no one I heard in one weekend. Still cool eh? Will remember the fifth too soon, give me time. Christmas No. One this for the House-martins.

bamber Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 And the fifth one was Smile -Lilly Allen. In order of greatness G2014 seen live by Bamber:- Kelis "Milkshake" Kiesza "Hideaway" Dexys Midnight Runners "Come On Eileen" Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott " Caravan of Love" Lilly Allen "Smile" I guess you are all suitably underwhelmed. Do better if you can, that's 5 No. 1s all witnessed in on a Glastonbury weekend. Can't be more than one tune by same (mega-star), though even that is very unlikely.

MrZigster Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) @bamberI was going to say Lily Allen. Thought you said original artists only? If Paul McCartney isn't Wings then Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott are certainly not The Housemartins. /pedant Edit: I now see you acknowledged this earlier.
