I like rap, but I’m definitely getting old cos I only like the tunes between roughly mid 80s to early 2000s, so very much in the “they don’t make em like they used to” camp.2

Fair point. And I like most of the artists you mention. I mean Imagine by PJ and Common is one of the best tunes in the last year or two, and the roots are a tight band. But I see them as a band. And a one off song on Letterman is do able but 90 minutes at a festival I find hard. Each to their own eh?I twiggyaddick said:
I love hip hop, I'm passionate abut it ever it gave me an escape from getting punched in the face other other day, used to get the rap is crap jibes as well, it's weird to think a whole genre, is crap, there's good and bad in every genre. I'm not into Drake or Kanye, but I like Kendrick, Nas, The roots, Common, Little Brother, A tribe called Quest, Rapsody

Very jealous Suzi. I last went on 2016 and had a thoroughly miserable time in the shit weather (the 3rd or 4th time its happened to me). Swore I'd never go again but felt really jealous watching it over the weekend.1

Good Kid MAAD City is a classic album worth listening to.3 -
Impossible to answer. Don’t regret seeing a single act, all brilliant in their own way. To see Macca with my dad was pretty special, as was having a big old dance to northern soul and Motown till the sun was coming up. A weekend full of brilliant memories. Home now and going through all my photos and videos. So many superb moments. Not sure I can go again as not sure it’ll be topped.se9addick said:

I always remember his (poor) performance at the 2012 Olympics Ceremony, so I didn't have high expectations 10 years on. However, although his voice isn't strong, I thought he did surprisingly well and his set was really well planned.MrOneLung said:No doubt he is a legend but I had to turn off after an hour - couldn’t handle the vocals being so bad.
Now on the other hand, Diana Ross probably should retire!0 -

Just back and almost broken, we arrived last Tuesday and had an epic time with good friends and a great atmosphere throughout, anyway I saw
Thurs - Billy Bragg, Herd Collective
Fri - Rufus Wainwright, Crowded House, TLC, St Etienne, Saint Vincent, Billie Eilish, Deptford Northern Soul Club, Mel C DJ set and Sasha
Saturday - Skunk Anansie, AJ Tracey, Celeste, Olivia Rodrigo, back end of Noel Gallagher for the singalong, Paul McCartney, Deptford Northern Soul Club (again), Club de Fromage and Carl Cox
Sunday - Herbie Hancock, Diana Ross, Koffee, Years & Years, Kendrick Lamar, Ultimate Power and then saw the festival out in the SE Corner, bed at 3, left site at 7.
My favourite part is actually after the bands have finished on Williams Green switching between the Meeting Bar and large tent singalongs.
I loved it from start to finish as ever, and will try my hardest to go again next year, thankyou Glastonbury.

The thing for me is that if you listen to old rap, it's nothing like modern rap which in the case of Stormzy in particular just sounds like shouting.
Some stuff I hear leads me to ask the definition of music.
Lamar wasn't so bad. I actually thought he had a pleasant voice, rather like the rapper on REM's Radio Song. I got bored of it after 10 minutes but it wasn't unbearable as some modern rapping often is.0 -
Elbow are such a good choice for a sunny Sunday afternoon, id love to be in a crowd that big for One Day Like This.0

I saw them supporting someone at Hyde Park about 5 years ago on a scorching Saturday afternoon.Chef_addick said:Elbow are such a good choice for a sunny Sunday afternoon, id love to be in a crowd that big for One Day Like This.

We did the same in Williams Green on sat and Sunday night. Both tents Saturday were playing such good tunes. We kept switching between the two. Lost voice singing and dancing to rage against the machine on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Got back to tent at 4.30. Last night ultimate power again, lost voice to ‘here I go again’ by whitesnake!SE7toSG3 said:

Just watched Macca's set in its entirety. Disappointed that there wasn't more of my favourite artist of all time, The Boss, especially as last time I saw him live, exactly a decade ago, I was one of thousands short changed at Hyde Park when Macca joined him and the power was turned off by the organisers so that the locals didn't get annoyed by the noise - at 10.30pm on a Saturday night!1

What a weekend, loved it more this year than before, as I had less corporate responsibilities and could enjoy the festival for what it is, rather than worry about others enjoying themselves etc.
Was very lucky to get access to an exclusive VIP area in the interstage area (courtesy of a Pyramid Stage performer) and that was a really nice touch. Chatted to quite a few A listers in there, my favourite being Woody Harrelson (a proper proper gent and am pleased I am as bold as I am when it comes to approaching people - would have kicked myself otherwise) and royalty was in there too, That said, that access was a bit of a drug and rather than browse between the main acts we wanted to see, we tended to gravitate back there for more booze and bites - so kind of a double edged sword.Anyhow, my missus was delighted with a Calvin Harris pic (attached) in the area, so big brownie points!
Macca was really quite sensational - 80 years old, one of the longest if not the longest sets on the Pyramid, drawing stars like Grohl and Springsteen to the stage to join in the set, that virtual duet with John 🥲, just emotional and memory evoking. This was the first Glasto since the passing of Glastonbury’s former Commercial Director (he covered all the business side) and friend Robert Richards (in his 50s). Such was my emotion and mind in that Macca gig that I reflected a lot on Robert and all he did for the festival over the very many years he was associated with it.
Back to the music - Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott were absolutely fantastic. Housemartins, Beautiful South and their duet work filled, interlaced with Paul’s quick witted prods and pokes - including introducing the band and who they supported - I think it was Toby who is the fellow Charlton fan, one of them was anyway, so got more cheer than Man City, Everton etc 😂 (or was that me hearing my own yeahhhhhhhh).
Went for the nostalgia of Pet Shop Boys over Kendrick - their set was well produced for a 2020s audience - some decent remixing and after a tricky tech slip up start, Tennant really came into his own, performing better than I had expected live. My only small gripe was that they should have reversed the last two songs, they could have finished on West End Girls and still paid their tributes to those lost and injured in the Oslo terrorist attack pre-performing Being Boring. My point being they were playing to a Glastonbury crowd rather than a PSB exclusive fan base and their choice of last number would have been a come down from a climax of well known hits.Overall, a proper 5* affair this year and felt as safe as you could be in that Somerset Valley of peace, love, music and fun! Bring on 2023…15 -

Hope those who went to ‘Ultimate Power’ enjoyed it. For those not aware, it’s a club night usually held in Camden at the Electric Ballroom and all they play is 80s power ballads.It’s actually brilliant.3

Its a little know fact I dont mind sharing
If you want to charm @AFKABartram into bed, to do your bidding or just go to the bar at an away game, he becomes almost catatonic and subsequently compliant if you whisper in his ear
"I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been"

My Dad liked George Formby and Mrs Mills.
He couldn't see the value of the Beatles or the Stones and exasperatingly never digged Led Zep, Deep Purple or Yes!
I remember my Grandad saying that he'd heard the latest Beatles record (I Feel Fine) and really liked it. He gave me 6/8 to go and buy it saying that he could always hear it when he came to my house, as he never had a record player of his own.
Looking back I now realise Grandad had no intention of listening to that record, but he gave me a treat and came across as current at the same time. Masterful.

It is so brilliant. Back to back sing alongs. Inflatable guitars, sax and microphones. Haven’t been to the club for years but when I saw they were in this tent on Sunday night we had to go. Charlton Life party?AFKABartram said:

Run DMC and the Beastie Boys were decent live.Greenhithe said:
I like all music mate. Not sure what is rock head about my post but you seem very angry about fuck all.SELR_addicks said:
So you didn't watch Kendrick basically then? He did none of that. But you're a rock head so that's fine and I wouldn't expect you to. Don't generalise.Greenhithe said:
I get hip hop. I love PE, Beasties, Pharcyde, J5,RTJ, Eruc B etc etc. and newer stuff like Denzel Curry or most grime ( I like Skepta and Dave)SELR_addicks said:Main event tonight for me.
Expect some negative comments later from everyone else that doesn't get hip hop.
but just don’t get the hysteria about Kendrick or for that matter J fucking Zed or Kanye.And one other thing in my opinion. Hip hop doesn’t work live and definitely doesn’t work for a festival. There’s only so many times I can hear make some noise, or hand in the air Or the extra mates they bring along to finish their sentences
my Glastonbury highlights were:Wet Leg (giggling like competition winners)
Sleaford Mods (hilarious)
Roisin Murphy ( weirdo, beautiful and what a voice)
Girl in Red (great energy and refreshingly honest and unpolished)Self Esteem ( probably one the best of the weekend)
Fontaines DC (although not sure how well they translate to a sunny stage as opposed to the gig venue or tent)
Bruce coming on and Macca doing Glory Days (I was emotional)
Little Simz (that’s how you do hip hop live)
IDLES ( the best)
Dogshit:
Diana Ross
TLC
Sampa the great
I went to Glastonbury every year it was on from 1987 to 1999 and stopped as it was just getting too commercial. It now looks so different from my day but that being said you don’t go for the music so we’re signing up for next year and going posh. I love it and miss it
Also 'hip hop doesn't work live' - then later says 'that's how you do hip hop live', sounds like you're a bit confused.
no I didn’t watch it and probably won’t. I like aalright and swimming pools and most of the rest is not for me.And hip hop doesn’t work live in general in my opinion. And I’ve seen some woeful examples in my many years of gigging. De La Soul being the worst of all.0 -
