Top Ten Fantasy Festival Line Up.

[LeonBlank1995]

1. David Bowie
2. Elvis
3. The Beatles
4. The Beach Boys
5. The Divine Comedy
6. Leonard Cohen
7. Suede
8. The Smiths / Morrissey
9. Matt Monro
10. REM

My question. Can this fantasy line up be topped?

[royfromaus]

Yes.

[andy-hughes]

Probably.

Not by me though, I don't really like festivals, and only attend on a professional basis - i.e. being paid to be there.

I would delete Suede and The Smiths/Morrisey from your line-up and insert Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac,

[bobbinwales]

Youd have to add Abba

[Buenchico]

I'm sure that I could revise my list umpteen times but, off the top of my head . . .

1. Dire Straits
2. Queen
3. The Who
4. The Rolling Stones
5. Amy Winehouse
6. Lindisfarne
7. Dolly Parton
8. Buena Vista Social Club
9. Johnny Cash
10. Van Morrison

[tiggerblue10]

Yes.

Prince and Queen are missing.

[Buenchico]

This is hard to beat ;-)

I like Chris's line-up, but I'd have to have Led Zeppelin instead of Dire Straits.

[DTCwordfan]

Keep Dire Straits, add Pink Floyd, Supertramp (if outdoor), Bruce Springsteen (def outdoor) taking out Cash, Buena Vista and Dolly and then Lindisfarne or Genesis playing with Eric C.

[pastafreak]

This...it's just so evocative of a time and place long gone, very bittersweet.

1 Beach Boys
2 The Who

4 Neil Young in any or all of his guises
5 ZZ Top
6 Dusty Springfield
7Queen

For Captain2



Excellent :)

[Captain2]

Thanks choux. Saw Judie about 10 years ago, still singing that song beautifully but her repertoire is far, far more extensive and varied.

[JimF]

Welcome to the Cruise is indeed a wonderful album but, as Capt say, by no means representative of her entire body of work. Excellent artist.

I'd swop 5 and 10 round on your line up webbo. Hopefully Jules would make an appearance. I saw them as a teenager in 1979
