We rarely disagree but, on this occasion, I'm going to dissent. I thought they were awful.

The Foo Fighters are pretty good though, so it's not (quite) all dross.

I didn't think much of Jeremy Corbyn's set, but it could have been worse: Theresa May wasn't there.

Glastonbury does not do prog - in the early 70s there was Hawkwind, Henry Cow, Gong, etc. and in 79 to the early 80s there was plenty of Gong alumni.   Yes finally got invited in 2003 (ish) and I think Marillion were there at some stage in the 80s, but not much else.  Back to the original point - I understand the affection for Radiohead but would rather watch Muse...

Anyone who profits from self pity is probably thankful for their purported torment.

Everyone on my Facebook apart from a few treasured raved over Radiohead yesterday.
What was once the mighty NME is raving over Radiohead.
Me? I tried. I used to feel fine about being out of step with everyone. Now I real feel alienation!
That's the trouble with Glarrstonberrry. It's a bubble that makes you feel like really really connected with people and that, but reality hits you on the travel home.
Bet they don't even have decent drugs any more!
That's the whole point of going to that sh*t hole!

Anyone who has read The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy knows that Vogon poetry is the worst in the universe; so much so that some have only survived a reading by gnawing off limbs so that the pain distracts them.

I confess that, after watching Radiohead at Glastonbury, I was close to having to seek the services of an artificial leg manufacturer. I really enjoyed Muse last year - and they're not usually my favourite band - because they were sensational live. In the same way, I'm generally ambivalent about Radiohead, but thought they might shine live. They didn't. To say they bombed is an understatement.

So pick your poison.
