I no longer consider myself eligible to vote as I've not been at any of these headlining sets. Apart from the screen-less snoozefest that was the first fifteen minutes of Radiohead in 2017

Just imagine that you have one trip in a time travel machine, which of the remainder would you choose to see?

Bowie is often talked about as the greatest but there was something that looked particularly joyful about that Stevie Wonder set. I'll go for that, I think.

Daydreaming. Still think it takes cojones the size of Dave Grohl's nostrills to start a Glasto headline set with that one. For me the Daydreaming - Lucky two punch hit me harder than Everlong and Satisfaction combined. 

And that 9-song-knockout-punch at the end. (Street Spirit - No Surprises - Nude - 2+2=5 - Paranoid Android - Fake Plastic Trees - Lotus Flower - Creep - Karma Police)

To think 2017 was their 'lesser' set out of the 3 big ones. God I love this band. 

 

Ahhh, ignore me, I'm just sulking cos my favourite headliner was knocked out! You're absolutely right about starting with a more esoteric number, it takes a brave act to do something like that. Probably a set for the die-hards with a reward for the casuals with the patience to stick with it. Don't get me wrong, absolutely incredible band.

So -10 from Radiohead everyday...?

I don't feel that 15 minutes qualifies 😂 

Maybe I should only be allowed to vote -2?

4 of my top 5 headliners are in the top 5, I'm pleased with that. And I've clearly got some synergy with the efests massive. Well, the ones who are voting anyway.

I didn’t expect REM to get as far as they have. Is it because we miss them.

[lighthouse]

To be fair this top 5 is absolutely near perfect for me. Top 6 was too. I knew Stevie and the 'Head both deserve to be on the Glasto Mount Olympus. Glad to see Efestivals agree. ❤️

Certain hat wearing posters have been firm in only giving +10's since the start.

Bloody 2 hats 🙂  I once gave a plus 5 and a minus 5 though

I clearly do not have much in common. Three of the top five I find very lemon and herb nandos.

It was possibly the most boring 2 hours in my years at Glastonbury. This year should have been the 40th anniversary of my first time.

and from the large gaps in the crowd by halfway through the set (once you got behind the barrier) I wasn’t the only one who thought like that.

only my opinion

Intrigued as to why if you were so bored you stuck around for two hours when there's so much else on offer.

It was bloody marvellous! R.E.M are my favourite band, and I miss them loads, but that Stevie set was just brilliant. The swift key change to bring Michael back in tune as he was singing pretty much sums up what a tight performance it was. Saw him again at Outside Lands a few years later, set list was actually even stronger, but didn’t come close to seeing him on the Pyramid.

I wasn't there that year but from my sofa I bloody loved the set from start to finish. Love that opinions can be so varied. 

Didn't top their '97 set for me though.

I just don't get this. Radiohead played a set of Radiohead music in the style of Radiohead. If you're not into Radiohead then why on earth did you not only turn up, but stay?

You're not new at this - I kind of understand it for people who have only been 2 or 3 times and feel like they need to see the headliners to get their money's worth, but regulars who have been going since the 80s? Surely you know better than to hang round a headliner you're not into?

I'm not surprised most people didn't like them, I'm surprised that so many people thought they might.

Yeah fair question. I suppose I was waiting for it to get better, for there to be some energy. 
I’ve seen them before on the same stage and quite enjoyed it. Not this time.

See above comment. It’s Radiohead. Seen them before. Was with people who wanted to see them. They didn’t get better. Sorry if that’s a problem.
