As if you needed more of a reason to love Oasis

It should've headlined Glastonbury earlier. No-one complained when fucking Shirley Bassey or Tony whathisname way to Amarillo played it. fuck

Ok, The Verve sold out over 100,000 tickets last year. To use them as an excuse for poor sales, is just nonsense. Who exactly is fed up with seeing the Verve live? They didn't play a gig for 11 years!

No-one complained about Tony Christie or Shirley Bassey because they both played the traditional legends slot on the Sunday afternoon. Why are you comparing Jay-Z with Shirley Bassey anyway? Neil Diamond is playing as well, can you draw any comparisons with him and the Jigga Man?

Hip-hop might be the biggest commercial genre out there right now, but Glasto has an Indie/Alternative audience... And JayZ is not the Parapper the Rapper to please said demographic. The one's that do, based on their previous success's in this country, I've pre-listed in a post before.

Oh, and Oasis are more or less the biggest selling guitar band to originate inside the last 20 years, so that makes them a bit legendary in my book.
