For me it had to be the chemical brothers set - the light show looked phenomenal! And the tracks played out on tv were awesome, only set that really made me think I should have thought about going

Janelle Mona. She was awesome.

I've got a bunch of stuff recorded but not watched yet, but I'm automatically predisposed towards Elbow, purely because they're one of my favourite bands, but I'm looking forward to QOTSA as well.

The Eels were excellent.

Janelle Monae was top class.
Elbow's reverse wave was pretty cool in the middle of a cool set

Primal Scream looked like the main one I would have liked to see.

Wasnt impressed with anything this year although at a push id say primal scream and it was great watching bb king. The presenters bigging every artist up was annoying as funk.

The scream, end of thread.

Please don't mention those loathsome miserable ba$tards on here (PS) never have and hopefuly never will hate a gig as much ever again.
I thought Glastonbury was just a massive ball of hype this year so managed to dodge pretty much all of it!

This.
I saw Ed Sheeran do a Dylan cover, and his guitar was painfully out of tune throughout - afterwards the sycophantic presenters just went on about how beautiful it was.

buoyancy or whatever her name is... just another pop princess dancing in her knickers... yawn

I wanted to like Kool and the Gang, but as only their very early material was better than dross, it was difficult.
Posted 11 months ago # -
K&tG were, for me, just a trip down memory lane maaannnn, but I've always loved the funk.
Bayonce, I was desperatly trying to find an "ambivalent/sarcastic" smilie, but couldn't find one.

Paul Simon's bemused response to the usual variation on the cringing "Please say something nice about us/the festival/the UK because we're still suffering from the loss of Empire and we need American approval for everything we do" syndrome from Jo Whiley and the prat from Oop Nerth...

he had a broken string, that'll have thrown it out a bit especially if he was fishing around for notes to compensate.
Chemicals for the light show/graphics and Elbow for getting the audience going.
worst - Pendulum, utter utter tosh

Primal Scream were indeed epic on a miserable wet night, Bobby Gillespie gave it absolutely everything, crowd dancing happily in the mud and rain.
I'm sure the Chems looked impressive on TV but I actually got a bit bored after half an hour and went round the corner to see Lee Scratch Perry on the Glade stage, who was terrific (bonkers as ever).
And Jah Wobble on Sunday afternoon at West Holts, the TV cameras were there but dunno if it was actually broadcast.
Oh, and I still got to go home to a hot bath and bed every night
well except for Saturday, but...

Didn't catch much of it, but I did see some U2 and Coldplay.
Oh, how could I possibly pick a favourite from those two?**I'm being sarcastic in case you wondered.

Still pretty poor though for a 'pro'. Did he not have a spare guitar anyway?
Agree on Pendulum - awful.
