10ent Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Genuinely think you will like it. Very Stone Rosesish but I think more melodic. Every song stands up on its own right. One of these albums, once listened to a few times and you get to know the songs, you cannot put it down. Never off my Sonos system. Probable due to Andy Couzens being an ex-Stone Roses guitarist. Good album though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Al Stewart still going strong, saw him in May. Oh and who is this Mark Boland? 1998 - Ronnie Williams headlining - undoubtedly the evening rock music died as a force for rebellion - RIP. 2009 - Conscience of the nation Lilly Allen, Caligula and a dirty dingo - is that a real line-up or a Comic Strip spoof?, Edited June 29, 2017 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) My top 3 acts and I was working over the weekend so missed the bulk of TV coverage were 1. The Killers (Best set since John Fogerty in 2007) Quote I've got soul but I'm not a soldie........... Bud can't hear ya! I've got soul but I'm not a soldier............ Little bit Louder I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... Little bit Louder I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... Little bit Louder I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... Now we're rockin I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... Keep it going I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... One more time now I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... I've got soul but I'm not a soldier........... 2. Nile Rogers - What a back catalog (US spelling), loved the drummer singing Let's Dance - just the right side of Mark McAusland! 3. Shaggy - As a reggae dude who's been to see Marley, Tosh, Toots & many more I never thought I'd hear myself this but I loved his set even if it was well ripe!

Guest TPAFKATS Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Eh? There was an invasion of the ticketless and resulting violence one year that kinda changed the organisation and vibe of glasto. I was asking where that fitted in, year wise.
