Which one should I see at T in the Park this year? I like both bands equally musically, so it all depends on which is better live.

NATIONAL
The National
x 1000
National
The
is this a joke
dont be square, see holy fuck!
i was
up for yelling Holy Fuck until i realised it wasn't Fucked Up that you were talking about!
see this:

The National
No contest
The National
I mean, seriously
non
Aphex Twin followed by Richie Hawtin are playing the Slam tent. Justice is even before that. Why any one would see The National or Holy Fuck above those is beyond me...
Aphex is a legend and one of the true pinoeres of modern music.
Hawtin is a true legend also and helped shape techno from pretty much the beggining.
The National will probibly be forgoten in 10 years time.
Oh yeah! Aphex Twin!
DAMMIT! Now it's a three-way tie! I'm worried Aphex Twin's show will go right over my head though, and I'll end up disappointed.
Its not a maths test
its like a normal dance music set but yuo know rly rly good.
actually you have to
go watch Aphex, i've decided for you. Raving to Vordshobn(?) on my own having lost friends is one of the greatest things i have ever done.
I would have to agre
I would love to see Aphex Twin live what ever he does is bound to be an event. The National are just gona play all the songs from their albums. Aphex will supries ya.
Just see what mood your in
on the day thats maybe the bestist option.
Seen them both
National @ ULU
and Holy Fuck @ John Peel, Glastonbury.
They are both seriously amazing live. Which is a crap answer I realise. Flip a coin?
I'll be at The National!
The National are the most boring live band in the world
Haha
I take it that's a joke?
Yes, it was a joke
A funny, funny joke.
I went to see both at glasto
on the same stage. National by a whisker. Also, HF tour a LOT more in the UK so I'm sure you'll get another chance.
APHEX TWIN
if not, you'll regret it.
aren't editors on?
watch holy fuck and then catch editors later on. same difference
I like this man ^
i would also like to vote for Aphex Twin again. This is like X Factor right? i vote as many times as i want?
pleaseeee
go and see the national. please.
clearly aphex
coz he gets 50k an hour.
and as we all know
money rules.
Both great live bands
but it has to be the National.
HOLY FUCK
One of the best live bands I've ever seen.
So fucking massive. So much energy.
Amazing!
you poor fucker
both are great live but go see The National
saw both at Glastonbury
National ftw. easy
National
amazing live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but ignore that
and go see Aphex Twin
Do you know that they'll clash
or are you basing that on the fact their names appear at the same placing in the line up?
I'm going to have to opt for HF I think, purely cos I have seen The National 3 times already
I vote
for The Fuck (so to speak).
Make up your OWN mind!
they are quite different bands.. just go with the one that you are more in the mood for that day!
HOLY FUCK
And go to Aphex too
Fuck the National live, rainy day music, go and dance to the propulsive Holy Fuck (and Aphex).
The National
all day.
I've heard good things about Holy Fuck live.
Everyone loves the National but I've never heard any glowing comments about them live.
