It's difficult to know where to start tbh. I don't think I have ever come across such a diverse artist as Nick Cave and suggesting the wrong one could make you not want to listen any further, something I wouldn't want to be responsible for! For this reason I would suggest giving a greatest hits album a go. My favourite Bad Seeds album is The boatman's call and the very reason for this is because it is completely different to anything they had done before (less punky.... more piano!!) and this was their tenth album! So if I was to stick my neck out it would be for this one- but be warned it is not everyone's cup of tea.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 The only problem I have with events like Glastonbury is that you have to buy tickets before you know who's going to be there, I wouldn't like take the risk of paying £200 and only liking 2 or 3 acts, When money is on the line I don't play risky!

Because they don't have to!! I've been to every major festival this country has to offer and some further a field- None come close to Glastonbury. They sell out because it's Glastonbury, not because of who is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Pilton [as we locals call it] and not seen a single band on the main stages. Plenty to amuse you elsewhere. It's not like any other festival, which are basically big gigs in a field, it really is a 24/7 sensory barrage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Bump! Only two weeks away now. Lineup out. Anyone got any good band tips lower down the bill If you're feeling adventurous try Rokia Traoré. Her latest album is incredible, produced by John Parish.

Red-Robbo Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Back late last night and my lungs are still recovering Got in via a method I've promised not to divulge on Saturday afternoon so got to experience about half the festival. Saw the Stones, but after a bit made the trek to watch Public Enemy instead. Personal highlights include I Am Kloot [as ever for me] and Steve Mason. Had a chat with Tim Burgess too, over a pint. Which was nice. Alas when I got back to my car, it had a new extensive scrage all down one side. Love and peace was a bit short in supply when I saw that!

chipdawg Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I also got in yesterday evening and promptly collapsed with severe dehydration. Quality weekend... Highlights for me were Portishead (even though Geoff Barrow is Gas scum!), Smashing Pumpkins, Savages and of course seeing The Stones- even if the sound was sub standard IMO. Also had some great times in the 'South East Corner'- we managed to get in there Thursday and Sunday with no queuing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
