I secretly adore Spandau Ballet and would love to see them do the legends slot.

No controversy there. Also a bit odd that I've woken up with "I'll Fly For You" going round my head on loop for no apparent reason.

Muse's early stuff was even worse than their later work, not better.

Less controversially, it's all dreadful.

When people discuss Muse and lament their decline I reflect on the fact that I only know their early stuff - Origin of Symmetry and so on - and it's also laughable.

As I accelerate towards 40 I find myself increasingly with less time to seek out new or challenging stuff and reaching more for the comfort blanket of the indie music of my teenage years and 20’s. 

This is why Brexit happened.

I like Robbie Williams

Agreed - a Robbie Williams greatest hits pyramid slot would be one of the biggest parties Glastonbury has ever seen.

Green River would like a word...

Any band that writes Night Goat has immediately conquered the genre in my eyes.

Myself, @CaledonianGonzo @Quark starting a campaign if Diana can’t travel. Spandau for legends slot.  Anyone else on board?

It was Ocean Colour Scene’s fault?

Soz - too busy campaigning for Duran Duran to headline West Holts.

They’ll have to get in line behind Duran Duran.

[Punksnotdead]

Ok, I'll go there......The Beatles are massively overrated!

I’ve long maintained that a DD legends slot would be the stuff of well... legends.

Oasis are the musical equivalent of Nigel Farage.

Nirvana are hugely overrated (already been done I know)

White Stripes even more so

The period known as indie landfill produced some absolute belters - Not Nineteen Forever a case in point

Radiohead were better as a 90s guitar band

[st dan]

I think Ed Sheeran is a very talented guy, and his music can be enjoyable.

Slightly disappointed there Quark. I think they’re pretty tame. I’m sure you have something more controversial in your locker 😉

I think we should just form a splinter group and go to a Butlins Weekender

[st dan]

Bloc Party should have been much bigger than they ever were. One of the best bands of a generation.

 I think I missed this bit as I'd buggered off to watch Fatboy Slim in the Dance tent (I can't work out if that's controversial or uncontroversial any more).

Ha! I really am. Mrs st dan is a huge fan (I didn’t marry her for her taste in music) so he’s been forced upon me, but at times I do find myself singing along. He was also entertaining on the pyramid, and he literally was one man on his own up there.

If this is a Bloc Party reference no-one will get it I'm afraid.
