Bonnaroo 2021 Lineup Discussion Thread

Sounds like someone's never tasted peanut butter ~vibes~.

How are they different than Walk The Moon/Empire of the Sun/Moon Taxi/any band you’ve heard featured on a Honda Civic commercial? Genuinely curious, only trying to be slightly snarky.

Gotta be honest, my response to this is that I’m thinking I should be more vocal about how corny they are. If this isn’t just known information then I will take it as my sole duty to shout it from the rooftops. But for real though, they corny.

Might not be different than any of those bands, as I love Empire of the Sun, Moon Taxi and I loved Walk the Moons first album a lot.

Mahgeetah was featured in a beer commercial. Just something worth pointing out.

Glass Animals are a decent band that had an interesting debut album and then subsequently were consumed by the LiveNation marketing machine. Similar to alt-J, imo. They lost some of what made them interesting as they got more mainstream play, but they're not a bad band. Their sounds are more unique to me than most of the stuff played on the radio.

They're not

I don't really get the Glass Animals hate tbh. I think they're a pretty solid band. Like Jaz said, they have a fairly unique sound that is good at eliciting a certain mood. And I think their rhythm and percussion is consistently great.

Dabin is the most generic garbage I’ve ever heard in my life and part of what inspired my post

Like holy shit why didn’t you guys tell me about this earlier

Primus sucks.

We've been talking about them forever.  They once were the Top headliner - ref. Lolla 1993.  Check out their Woodstock '94 show or at least My Name is Mud and watch thousands upon thousands of people going at it like no crowds of that size do anymore or ever probably will again.  

Several pages back, someone asked about them and I said Sailing the Seas of Cheese (2nd release) was the best album, and it's the one that put them on the map.  If you've only listened to them, they have a bunch  of exceptional official [tm] videos out there.  Here are a couple.  Les is high art.

Tommy the Cat




Jerry Was a Racecar Driver




Here's a clip of My Name is Mud after the crowd stopped pelting them with mud.  We need more insane hardcore inspired crowds in rock again as most of it is with the hard rappers these days.

This is on you Jakey you never needed a reason
