sidcow Posted August 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2020 £80 picks itself for me. Bowie obviously. Blur and Pulp Shed 7 Then I'm struggling. There is not really another £10 I'm that bothered about and I'm not dropping any of my choices for a more expensive one so if I can't pocket a tenner I'd probably go see Weezer or Carter USM. Why aren't The Bluetones or Sleeper or Cast or Seahorses on the £10 list? That would make it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the early or mid 70's (before Scary Monsters) I'd have had him on the list in a flash I was shocked reading through how few votes there were for Bowie. Not seeing him live is one of the greatest regrets of my life. I agree about 90s Bowie but with all of them I've kind of assumed it's a greatest hits tour. Apart from Vengaboys obviously.

I'll bet most people can't name more than one or maybe two Bowie albums from the '90s. In fact he released 12 albums between Let's Dance and Blackstar and pretty much all of them are unmemorable dross. I managed to remember 4 in that run of 12 and two of them have almost identical titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I could go one or two ways Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Beck or Bowie (although his 90s stuff was ropey), Chemical Brothers, Pulp, Shed 7 and Elliot Smith They should do a 70s line-up (but totalling a tenner!) (one for the boring thread - me and my mates used to do a lot of themed compilation albums for one another and one was dream festival line ups. From memory I had Pulp, Dr John, The Kinks, SFA, Pavement, Hendrix, The Doors, Polyphonic Spree, Justice, Iggy Pop and headlined by Elvis. I used live performances spliced together in sets of 20-30 minutes. Great fun to do) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fun to do) My mate did it during lockdown using Spotify, created his own festivals with various acts and headliners then organised "stage times" and set lists giving people the links to play lists, a bit like Tim's listening parties, everyone at home listening to the same thing and then using social media to talk about it and post pictures of people in their back garden in the sun getting pissed Did 3 of them, by the 3rd one there were a couple of hundred people joining in including some random people around the world on instagram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted August 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2020 I've never been to a festival - not into the discomfort of camping. I can stand a one-dayer, but I'd have to be really into the bands that were on. I've been to precisely four of those in my lifetime - in 1974, 1978, 1982 and 2006. The headliners were, respectively: The Who, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and The Who again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure if only half the world's population had heard the Lithuanian folk singers there eyes would be opened wide and they would suddenly realise how overrated Elvis was, throw his records in the bin and thrust Lithuanian stars to number one for months on end all over the world. You may not have a taste in music which matches his sound but you can't say he's overrated,let alone the most overrated ever. That's just ludicrous. I will grant you however that if I was at Glastonbury when Dolly Parton played I would have developed a sudden interest in all things Lithuanian.
