i far, far prefer the screamy hairy period, ofc - twas ever thus. But thats tainted by association now with the later beige period. I have no idea what they sound like these days, and i have absolutely no inclination to find out. 

The most depressing thing I've seen in a while is the artist's own 'Kings of Leon - deep cuts' playlist on Spotify. 'Deep cuts'... and it's full of tracks from their first three albums. That era is, sadly, dead and buried.

March has a Sunday 17th this year. So, then.

Unless we're expecting a Glastonbury announcement on Sunday 17th November of this year to start things off for Glastonbury of next year.

I am sad to have missed out on their 'Being Shat On By Pigeons' era

The sheer amount of mockery that got was bananas. Although tbf I wouldn't enjoy being on stage trying to play for a few thousand people while being shat on by pigeons either.

They did Q Magazine's "Audience questions" feature a few years later and were asked "What does pigeon sh*t taste like?"

In fairness the gap between Sex on Fire & Use Somebody and everything else is vast. Not only that but judging by this their most played on Spotify is all from the newer albums, which is kinda something given how large the constituency is that declare their first three albums are superior to everything else.

They have the odd good track here and there, but I'm aware their reputation has taken a nosedive since 2010. And I agree tbf as I don't mind album 4 but album 5 felt really phoned in.

Last and only time I saw them was 1984, around the time of by far their best album - Murmur

I do love Murmur, but favourite R.E.M. album goes to Life's Rich Pageant for me!

That's two of us then.  🙂

Absolutely fantastic album, from start to finish.

Green was always my jam.

Same here. I was 16 when that came out and thought it was amazing. Listened to it a few weeks back with 31 more years of life under my belt and it’s absolutely incredible.

[giantkatestacks]

Yes Automatic for the People. Nightswimming is a really resonant song for me that I return to at different points in my life.

Avril definitely has a GSH too 🙂

[Ben7amin_]

Is the reason Janelle Monae a very likely because she is supporting Coldplay or I'd there something else?

Speaking as someone who is still bitter Mysterines did not play last year after they were on tour with Arctic Monkeys......

Nathaniel Raitliff & Night sweats, Two door Cinema club, Bombay Bicycle Club, Elbow... all got Glasto gaps

A bit of Judas Priest late afternoon on the Pyramid would do me nicely.

Can’t see anything other than a poster drop now and that’ll be a few weeks off .

If you've got SG Lewis you should have Sammy Virji and Sub Focus, given all three names came from @turkey twizzler

It is quite something imo that The Hives and Mysterines both opened for AM last year and are both opening for Bloc Party at Crystal Palace.

Came out of my kitchen to find my 3 year old had built this ‘interesting’ version of what I can only assume is Carhenge. I’m taking it as a sign. Announcement incoming?! 👀
