are bros still going? luke goss is mainly playing villains in guillermo del toro films and craig manages or managed Pink. arguably he did the best out of it, but the other 2 probably got the girls.

props to markblewing and caponee too. i absolutely don't have a prob with going to a music festival based upon who's playing (interpol, strokes and jane's addiction at Reading in 02, sonic youth, mudhoney, babes in toyland, nirvana etc in 91), i just wouldn't base a decision on whether to go to Glastonbury on who was playing. last year's glasto...well Jay Z and Brian Jonestown Massacre both played the pyramid, and previously we've seen de la soul, the breeders, nick cave, echo and the bunnymen all playe it, so it ain't ALL bad ;-)

yay...a diversity battle. what are the rules? do you want to go through the ages, across genres? shall we do it by who recorded it, or by what language it's sung in (assuming it has lyrics), are you counting mixtapes and that sort of thing too? bring it on. give me your top ten.

am glad a couple of the people on here know what i'm on about. i assume the rest pack up their white trainers, St George's Cross flag and camp out near the Pyramid stage every June and buy what NME and XFM tells them to. ps it's "pompous" not "pompus" ;-)pps i have CDs by all the artists I named, my point was just that i have discovered some great music at Glasto over the years and it saddens me that people would only consider going to such a great festival because they could stand at the back of that field and watch a note perfect Radiohead concert. you might as well stay at home and watch it on the BBC. ppps am glad at least it provoked some debate. well done everyone who took the time to think about what they want from a music festival.

if it was 4 days of camping with my mates and i could still hit the cider in the late morning and stay nicely out of it while watching jugglers and the insanity of a good glasto, i wouldn't give 2 sh*ts who played on the main stage, bros and slipknot included. more fool anyone who has the festival mixed up with Reading or V.

It doesn't matter who plays Glastonbury, you should be getting tickets regardless of what's on the bloody Pyramid stage. That should be no more than 1% of your consideration of why to go. It's not Reading, that's a music festival - Glastonbury is for a bit of everything - performance, cinema, chilling out, eating and drinking AND music. It pains me to think why it's been nigh on impossible to get enough tix for all your mates to go because 80% of the people are going because they want to see bloody Radiohead or Coldplay. You should be going there and coming back raving about Manu Chao or Gil Scott Heron or Ozomatli. You already know what the bloody Verve sound like already. And what's with all the bloody flag waving. It's like last night of the proms there nowadays. Pah!
