Well, it can only be subjective so I suppose in that sense there can't be good or bad I think I'd agree with the Lemmy quote you posted - I like quite a wide range of styles and genres (although I struggle with heavy metal and quite a lot of techno) To be fair, there's even music I don't particularly like but still respect, if that make sense Sometimes quality musicianship, lyricism, stage presence, etc. just has to be admired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green genie Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 As we’re calling out for prentention I’ll ask again was there a media blackout of Christine and his Queens? Hopefully it was a scrumpy induced nightmare Sparks banging out the 70s stuff (when they were a huge influence on synth pop which is why you need to understand your music history) was superb. Some of new stuff sounded like 70 year olds trying to be cutting edge strangely enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted June 27, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2023 I loved Sparks back in the 70s and enjoyed watching on TV at Glastonbury, I really enjoyed Astley too. Only time I've been to Glastonbury was 2002 and Spiritualized on the Other Stage, was the best gig I've ever seen. Nothing came close to that from what I saw this year.

Some of new stuff sounded like 70 year olds trying to be cutting edge strangely enough. Their last album is great. The third Sparks album influenced a lot the band people like now who are calling them pretentious. Especially the brit pop bands folk fawn over. Mind you, if someone hasn't listened to Here Come The Warm Jets or the first two Roxy Music albums then they are missing out.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I thought Astley & Blossoms were fucking dreadful doing a full set of Smiths covers. I'm not averse to acts doing a couple of classic covers, but to do a full set list of someone else's stuff (badly) is a desperate act.

To be honest I thought a headline act playing the UK Subs was the most subversive thing I've seen. Also, fucking hate hippies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
