With the Foo Fighters, I just find the whole formulaic 'rawk' that they've settled into producing for the past 5-6 albums leadenly uninspiring.
My Facebook was awash with 'f***ing AWESOME!'; 'f***ing EPIC!'; 'f***ing MASSIVE!' the whole time they were on. It's music for the masses, isn't it? Made for Glastonbury, it seems.

I was half tempted to watch The Jacksons but the lure of their back catalogue was dimmed by the though of how much we-miss-you-Michael would be going on. When we did finally tune in, we got the end of a tribute followed by one of them launching into something from his new solo album. Didn't linger long enough to see how that went down.

Foo Fighters are in the same category as Paul Weller a few years ago for me - it's OK, I don't hate it, but get irritated by how many of my friends/social media network absolutely love it when I can't understand the appeal.

Think I'll move this on, not being a fan of Oasis and certainly not at all interested in the brothers' feud.
All the televised sets (including many artists not shown on the BBC Two/Four coverage) are up on the BBC website for another four weeks, so I am sure you can all check out Elbow and Sheeran to enjoy for yourselves again.
Or perhaps look elsewhere. I was taken by Sigrid, a Norwegian girl who sings pop songs my daughter likes.
Willing to take any recommendations (that's what this part of the forum is for, for me). Think I'll check out the Moderat set after enjoying a bit of it on the red button the other night.

Foo Fighters are OK but if you've grown up being used to watching big, noisy rock bands it's hard to see them as anything revelatory. They always strike me as a lesser version of Blackfoot.

I've not seen a second of footage yet, but found myself getting a bit impatient at the comments along the lines of, 'Tell you what, no-one's ever noticed this and it's a bit embarrassing to admit it, but actually Barry Gibb's got a really good back catalogue, hasn't he?'
Yes of course he has, you idiots, he's a fucking BeeGee. They were brilliant.
I might have a look for Chic's set on YouTube in a bit (didn't Chic play there last year as well?).

Caught up with Gibb, who was good, although I find it disconcerting the way he puts on his singing voice, I kind of assumed they used to just speed the tape up. Perhaps it was a bit of both.
Talking of distinctive singing voices, I thought Liam was rather good. Looks good for his age, which is roughly my age, sounds good and the new songs are better than 80 per cent of Oasis'. Could be a big year for him, on current form he would be doing Noel a favour if he agreed to a reunion.
