That was the last year I went.

Always nice to speak to a man with great taste

Lollapalooza jumped the shark years ago when Lady Gaga headlined one of the nights.

Music where people can, you know, actually play musical instruments or know any music theory is dying.

There are plenty of those in the lineup

Tell me of the olden days grandfather…

regale us with tales of musicians who wished to fuck you as if you were an animal and would not do what you told them…

Looks terrible.

they're the best band in this lineup

Hey! That’s the last time that I went.

Perry Farrel's (the founder of Lollapalooza and singer of Jane's Addiction) infamous quote when selecting acts for the first one... Which of these male acts on this list sucks D

Precisely.

You realize you’ll no longer be able to recognize the melody. It would be similar to a slow shift between in-tune and out-of-tune.

Okay then, I definitely recommend it for a rainy day, or perhaps a serene starry Moonlit night would be better. Always Returning is one of those tracks that brings a tear to the eye.

Sure you can. I've not yet heard that one but it seems to be a popular choice for Eno fans.

Can I give a shout out to Apollo ?

The ideal album for Enossification would have been Melt for sure. It is surprising Eno didn't feature on any of his albums given that Fripp was prominent on the 1st 3 and produced Scratch. But they were clearly going in different directions.

Eno went towards Ambient while Gabriel went for a more industrial sound up to Mask at least. But in fairness to Melt, it was already an excellent album and I guess you could draw a contrast with Bowie's Scary Monsters. Melt for all its electronics is quite a sparse album while Scary Monsters is rich and layered.

It’s been thirty years my brother in christ

And it will be a very affordable $400 a ticket.

Oh for sure, I always just chalked it up to him being insanely popular at the time and a local. I was over at NIN during his show.

I mean Kanye headlining that year was a sign of things to come.

Rock is kinda dead. There are tons of small groups doing great stuff but there are few quality rock headliners these days.

Blame Coachella. $$$

Yeah this is a pass. It's been a long time since I went to lolla but I feel like I went for one of the best years. '08 had Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, RATM, Wilco, and Kanye as the headliners. Maybe I'm just getting old!

Not even so much a specific demographic as a certain genre of music. Give me current rock, punk, garage, alternative bands, that would be much closer to the original spirit of Lollapalooza than a global pop/electro star like Billie Eilish.

I would like to think festivals could be aimed at a specific demographic
