To whom do you refer?

Could probably be a fair chunk of the population of this site to be honest with the amount of astonishingly backwards nonsense posted around the place by various posters.
Clinging onto the past as the world moves forward and improves without them.

Billie Eilish I'm finding boring.
I like to think I've a wide range in musical taste but she's not holding my attention. I don't think she's got a great stage presence either.

Yeah, Bad Buy apart, performance seems to lack punch/energy.

[Sarkmeister]

Not seen a lot of the acts from the day, but enjoying Billie Eilish. She's maybe not entirely suited to the big festival stage, but for a 20yr she, and her brother, are hugely talented. Her latest album is really worth a listen.

The people at the front always act like total nutter fans, it’s in the depth of the crowd that people just don’t seem that fussed. When she asked the back of the crowd how they were doing there was a loud booing.

They were booing because they were at back, but wanted to be at the front. I thought that was pretty obvious.

Anyway, I'm cross with the BBC because they haven't shown the Sugerbabes, who apparently played a bit of a blinder on the Avalon stage.

Watched a bit of Four Tet (meh) but switched over to Primal Scream just in time for a lightly odd rendition of 'Come Together' (yay!)

[Chicken Chaser]

I like new music, always keen on getting into new stuff and have an electic taste in music..I didn't find BEs performance great though. It seemed flat, the audience didn't seem to be taking to it either, so I've switched over to watch Foals. They're producing a headliner set on the Other stage.

Idles were good value earlier. Making Willie J Healey crowd surf amused me.

Also - ban all flags.

I thought Billie Eilish was pretty good, and I'm far from her target audience I'm sure and I only vaguely recognise some of her music. For example I like Alison Krauss but I find her and Robert Plant pretty dull and turned it off when they started some Led Zep cover, i can't remember what it was. Must be my age

[DoctorX]

Primal Scream’s guitarist is ace

[BigMon]

Primals are bossing it now with the Screamadelica stuff.

Since I’m a an old dullard who now only listens to FunKids (look it up, non-parents) and ClassicFM, not even 6music these last 7 or 8 years, I’m at the disadvantage of not knowing any of Billy Eilish’s songs. Without knowing any of the melodies it was just disappointing noise to these ears - despite her efforts. I’m sure in 30 years time many of the youngsters enthusiastically watching her tonight will be watching Glastonbury coverage and thinking “what’s all this over-hyped nonsense?”

Hopefully in a couple more years when the children are older I’ll return to listening to contemporaneous modern music and getting back into the groove!

IPlayer is back running again now and Primal Scream seem to be having a nice time - and I know the melodies and the words, too!

Have a great weekend, music lovers of all ages.

Oh, and, yeah, ban the fecking flags.

Moves forward with WetLeg & Billie - I’m glad to be a stegosaurus at least we had lyrics.

Or, to quote Bobby Gillespie, 'have a great weekend everybody, don't get too fked up. fk the tories... and acid house forever'.

[ReallyReallyGood]

Not familiar with Billie Eilish but I enjoyed the set, a bit different from the usual ageing rockers. The visual spectacle was probably a large part of it, the songs were forgettable.

It did feel like you needed to be high on something to get the most out of her set!

[Miocene]

I thought BE was reasonable. Highlights and lowlights. No doubting her and her brothers talent, but something didn't click for me.

On the other hand, Foals deserve to headlining. I know they headline a lot of other festivals, but they really do put on a show.

[scenario8]

Really enjoyed Rufus Wainwright III (what a talented family) and First Aid Kit (ditto, I guess).

[Swervin_Mervin]

Gave up on Billie Eilish. I don't dislike the music but it's a touch boring.

Foals and Little Simz had blinding sets by comparison.

[Biggus thingus]

Generally enjoying most of it

Some of the stuff not to my taste, some of the stuff right up there

Helps to see the stuff you're not keen on to avoid

Wolf Alice have excellent lyrics. Wet leg is just fun.

I’m a 56 year old, but have been listening to Wolf Alice pretty much since they started.

At least bands like Wet Leg and wolf Alice are breaking mould of boring pop crap that has filled the airwaves since someone thought xfactor was a good idea.

[Essarell]

Really disappointed with Alison Kraus / Robert Plant, AK is a wonderful singer but I’m just not hearing her in the songs.
