Now try watching it with the sound on...

Just open your mind and acknowledge the lineage.
Please.

The what? I have no interest in them, they were boring except for middle-aged pot smokers of the 70s surely?

SD

Well I've got DSOTM but not strictly a fan as so does everyone. That said I can appreciate the quality tonight.

27 Btw.

Vegescoob

FFS. Wake up, the music you have today is as a result of the music of the past.
Like life, yours and mine, it's a progression.

Clarebabes

You forgot the "maaaan" at the end of that sentence!

I'm really pissed off, I was enjoying The Who, then they were off after only doing 2 of the CSI theme tunes and they didn't do my favourite one!!

PF.... **** off, sounds like they haven't played together longer!! Dull, dull, dull! **** when I first heard them, and they are still **** now!

They should cut all this mutual ************ (Hey Jude) that's happening at the end and get The Who on again!

Vegescoob

No.
Not me.
Never did say that or "cool".



All I'm trying to get at is, I love music from all eras including the classics.
I just get dissapointed when people seem to be stuck in their own era.

i can see what you're saying but the pot smoking thing came a bit later on in their music.

'careful with that axe eugene' was defo not for the stoneheads

Clarebabes

I'm not stuck in my own era! I have said before, I have favourite music from the 80s, 90s and present day. I have a wide taste, it's just that PF doesn't do it for me. I find it boring and doesn't make me want to get up and move to it.

E.g. the Kaiser Chiefs are now on. Quite heavy, but it makes me tap my feet and move! PF don't

Sorry!

unclebuck

True...


Not sure about the rest of your analysis though..

Chris L

PF were excellent, but I've got to say the Kaiser Chiefs are rocking

Vegescoob

Yes well, go back to the 50s, the original Blues artists, Jazz, the Crooners.
All good stuff.
See how we've got to where we are.
Some might make you want to tap your feet.

03-CTR

can't seem to get into the kaiser chiefs myself. seems to be a bit of a rehash of some bygone era that i wasn't able to appreciate the first time round.

but then i'm into hip-hop (not the black eyed bollox tho') so who am i .

unclebuck

The further you search back, the better the performers/music gets. Try it.... find out what singing a song is (was) all about.

Chris L

I with you 03-CTR on the Black Eyed Peas - I just don't get them either. In all honesty, I think they are very average and distinctly unoriginal, but to many people on here that would be tantamount to me posting up something like: 'so these Subarus - they're a bit crap aren't they?'

I guess we should be happy that we like different things - it would be pretty boring if we all agreed about everything all of the time

Vegescoob

Humm. and you had a dig at me earlier.
Something about NL ?

dba

PF blew everyone else away,inc the Kaiser Chiefs.Fabulous stuff.

Suresh

PF bored the pants off me. Always have and always will. I switched off during their first number . Robbie was a little lacklustre for me too, though did get the audience participating. I caught Greenday playing the Berlin concert and I have to say they were brilliant performance-wise and the best of the 10 or so acts that I actually watched. The deceased-Cure-with-tattoos look doesn't do it for me though.

I enjoy nearly all kinds of music, classical, blues, R'nB, swing and the old crooners, pop, rock and heavy metal and virtually any other classification. To me it's all about the music and I appreciate good musicians whatever their classification.

So for me the whole day was really enjoyable (exceptions were MS Dynamite, Dido, Madonna) and I thought that the standout performances were VR, The Who, Snoop Dogg, Scissor Sisters, Robbie Williams and Pink Floyd. (Green Day too from what I saw)

And while I do like Razorlight, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane and The Killers I doubt very much we'll be seeing them around in 30 years time as legends.

unclebuck

Not at you at all. Sorry if you thought that.

My comments were directed at those who hold the disgraceful view that classic rock bands should be 'banned' as inappropriate entertainment for the 21st Century. A *very* New Labour attitude.

Redkop

Music started before the 80's you know. The previous 2 decades were the forerunners for the whole music scene we have now. We all have music that bores us, no doubt what a lot of you like would bore the títs off me, but I am not so vehement in knocking it. I appreciate 'good' music from any era.

imi

PINK FLOYD - it was a sublime performance...made most other look like amateurs.

I am not a FAN of Pink Floyd - only know the popular numbers and their performance by far was the highlight of the event. They are a proper Live band and genuis musicians.

I'm 27.

Closely followed by Sting...Robbie was good as always too.

Madge - sorry, but wtf did she have to swear.....cheap....and chavvy (thats her)

Velvet Revolver - wouldnt it have been nice to have Axle rose on stage to complete the GnR line up....now that would have been interesting.

paulr

The person who should wake up the happiest this morning is Madonna.Like a Prayer was excellent,great choir.Ray of Light and Music were great too,and what about the dancer doing the headspin.A top performance IMO.

Other good performances,U2,Coldplay,Dido,Stereophonics and Keane.Floyd,The Who and Macca were dissapointing.As for the finale,how many times can you have everyone singing the chorus (no verses) to Hey Jude.
Robbie was rusty,thats why he forgot his lines in Let me entertain you.

I'm not really a fan of them, but I have to say that the who just shook of their years and rocked like b*stards! I was very impressed. Pink Floyd are showing their age, esp Roger Walters, but their music isn't. It was great to see them together again and the performance of Comfortably Numb was excellent. It's just a beautiful song and something for the young uns to aspire to.

SiPie

Without a doubt....The guy playing the acoustic guitar with Craig David in Paris.......feckin outstanding ..... although I can't stand Craaaaaaiiiiiiig David

.....joint first equal with Pink Floyd, and the guy dancing on his head with Madge

Kelly Jones won 2nd prize on his own for that version of Maybe Tomorrow

Madonna, Robbie, Sting, Annie Lennox, Kaiser Chiefs in Philadelphia, Faithless in Berlin, the Who, Velvet Revolver all in 3rd place with brilliant efforts.

Killers in 4th as can't really be judged just on one track

Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, Pete Doherty all in joint last place as they should never have been invited in the first place

Missed U2 and Coldplay but can imagine

imi

Agree...dont like the guys music at all..

Boring.

paulr

Why is everyone slagging off Mariah Carey,okay she's a diva but boy,the girl can sing.
Posh spice must have been standing in the wings green with jealousy.

paulr

With the back catalogue,experience and influence Macca has i thought it was a very poor effort.
