Sounds like something a bad musician would say, Fred. Come on now.

Haha. When listening to audio I'd agree it's the music and I'd also argue the production too

But when it comes to live music you need to also factor in other things like visuals, sound mixing, performance, connection with the audience and other band members and, last but not least, audience engagement.

One of my favourite bands is Black Country New Road but I switched off their Glastonbury set half way through because they were so static I was bored.

Osees and the rest of their names are one of the best bands going, have you found a week to listen to all their/his albums yet?

No I haven't C. TBH there's so much I didn't know where to start. They've got a new album coming out in a couple of weeks and I'll give that a listen or 2.

If you haven't seen the Fat Dog set from Glasto yet I'd recommend you do before it goes off air in a day or 2. It may not be your thing but I know sometimes you like things that are a bit left field and the front guy is so charismatically nuts.

You may have read/seen, that they change their name a bit every time they change their music style. Under their Thee oh sees name, floating coffin, is probably one of their bigger albums. Under osees maybe 'protean threat' which is a bit more krautrock... But it's well hard to keep up.

Ok cool, I'll check them out

Forget the last post I should have read further on. 😀

Musics all about opinions mate. Nowt wrong with liking different things. Since I discovered her I've always liked her as a person and performer, without being a fan of her music. She's honestly the most sincere person out there and very funny too. But this new album looks to be a change in direction from country to Indie pop and I'm liking it. Her Glasto performance was top 5 for me along with Fat Dog, Osees (who were new to me), Pulp and Wunderhorse. The one thing they have in common is they're all entertainers, it isn't just about the music.

That I can agree on. I know what you're getting at but it still comes down to the music for me, pressed or live. For instance, I post the Deftones in here a lot but I think their live game leaves a lot to be desired and it will always lower their status in my world. I guess it just depends on what you're looking for and why Michael Jackson had the numbers.
