The great thing about Glastonbury is that there's a huge range of music, to suit just about all tastes. **All** tastes, Graham? Where were the symphony orchestras? The operas? The massed pipe bands? The Spooky Men's Chorale? Aage Grundstad soundalikes? Three Tenors soundalikes? (rhetorical question btw!) *You* may perceive that Glastonbury offers a huge range of music. I beg to differ. What I heard of it all sounded much the same, i.e. incomprehensible lyrics with little if any tune backed by some sort of thumping, the whole lot completely dependent on excessive amplification. But as long as I am able to reach the 'off' switch, good luck to Glastonbury and other similar events. If that is the sort of thing people like, then that is the sort of thing they like, and as long as it isn't imposed on those who don't like, it, well and good. Anne

I suppose one could expect a thread with a musical connotation of any kind to produce some heat ... FWIW, I can enjoy a wide range of musical "categories" but have always preferred not to hear pop/rock/blues ... at too loud a volume. I simply find that different categories elicit different emotions and thoughts.
