Ashcroft’s playing an absolute blinder here, has outlasted his contemporaries and looks pretty comfortable mid-table.

Your constant need to defend them every time you give them points is all the evidence I need to know they need to go 😋

“Constant” = twice.

I’m just mentioning it as I feel some are forgetting quite how good they are live.

By all accounts they stunk the place out in 2016 so not really the best defence. I’ve seen them in the past and they’ve been excellent, but I think the days of them being such a terrific live act are somewhat behind them now, in part due to the newer material that they play a lot of not being up to the same memorable quality as their older stuff.

2016 did indeed stink, however 2004 is in my top 5 performances on that stage.

I was elsewhere in 2010 so they break even for me.

He’s doing the Apprentice thing of just keeping his head down and not drawing attention.

I think their performances are still pretty strong live, especially when compared to quite a lot of other acts on this list.

Also, reviews of their 2016 set were pretty good from what I remember? Appreciate you may not have enjoyed it, but don’t think it was the majority view?

Also - given the age of some of the acts on the list - I was assuming it wasn’t necessarily how good each act is “right now”, otherwise a lot of other bands would be out already due to not existing/touring.

The idea that acts like Pulp and The Verve are better than Muse live in general, is a bit silly. (In my opinion, obviously, all subjective, all just opinions.)

I’ve seen both acts several times and would say that Pulp are most definitely a better live act than Muse.

Depends on whether you're voting for a band's credentials as a live act overall, or their performance / importance in the context of Glastonbury I guess.  I've not seen Pulp so couldn't comment on the former, but their Glastonbury headline set was the stuff of legend based on time, place, opportunity etc. Horses for courses innit.
