Spindles Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Not going to lie, I am shocked that REM have lasted this long. I've got fond memories as them being my first Glastonbury headliner and the favourite artist of my teenage years, but did they really deliver one of the best headline sets of all time? I'm not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 May I present this thread with: The Battle of Radiohead. This chart doesn't represent end-of-day totals like the last one. In order to visualise the battle as it happened, blow-by-blow, I've compiled all 509 votes cast individually between the point Blur were eliminated until the blessed moment Radiohead lost. Watch it all unfold in glorious technicolour here: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/5842578/ I feel duty duty bound to add that in the process of compiling this, I did spot what appears to be an error that was never corrected. On page 139 (March 23rd), @Tranquility of Solitude gave 5 to Radiohead and took 5 from Stevie Wonder. @stuartbert two hatsmissed it and later corrected his post accordingly, but not before @Watergirl had already posted two hats’ unamended post, and those totals got carried on from there. @Supernintendo Chalmers inexplicably corrected Stevie Wonder’s score without comment (possibly a mistake which was inadvertently an accurate correction) on page 142 (March 24th), but Radiohead’s score was never corrected. As a result, Radiohead should have been on 5 more points than they were. My graph accounts for that, but means that technically, Radiohead were eliminated when they still had 5 points left. I'm happy to be corrected. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
