Glastonbury 2019

Incredible set, they smashed it to pieces. And agree with what you said about the new tracks adding loads. For a band to have released one of their best ever albums after 25 years is pretty damn impressive. Seeing them at the arena in November. Normally don't rate that place, but bet they will be fantastic there.

The Chemical Toilets as my old fella calls them.
 
Come on PC you can't surely think that?

I am open to suggestion on bands / acts that I have overlooked as I am unwilling to listen to Radio 1 and the like............

Of course there is, muggins! Every generation thinks their generation's music was the best and that new music is shite. Just like every generation (in the UK, that is) demonises youth as soon as they, themselves, hit 30 or 40.
 
Just watched Mavis Staples on iplayer, she's fantastic anyway but she's 80 in July, that's some career and still going strong.

Looking forward to Kylie now.

I never listen to Radio 1. The only radio station I’ll listen to is Radio 6 but even then they overlook so many fantastic bands and acts. And then you’re struggling to find any other radio stations in the country that play decent music, which tells you everything you need to about modern music. It’s not that it’s not there, it’s that it’s purposely suppressed by the industry. The BBC even nearly axed 6 Music. That would have left the nation with no good radio stations. Madness!

But this is with me thinking that all the big bands from the past are overrated with their nostalgia or the fact that they were just part of the wave of music that were there when mass media exploded.

That’s just some of what I like. Someone else could come along with a list just as long with their own bands and artists that I haven’t even dipped into yet.

Great music is out there in abundance. Music is great and as good as ever.
