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
Omar Souleyman and The Streets were pretty good.
Primal Scream!
Janelle Monáe was pretty mental! Chems were also epic...
handily both of them are in this iPlayer episode, as long as you can put up with the two muppets presenting...

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. 8)
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.
QOTSA
QOTSA for me.
nice one vegasdave!
Yup QOTSA were superb - and janelle monae was great, even though it's not my thing, that girl has talent!
Gonna watch QOTSA later. Only other act I was really interested in were Wu Tang. They were ok.
Janelle Monáe + loads
& QOTSA...
QOTSA - shame the coverage only stretched to 4 songs

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. 😕
Paulo Nutini
Kool and the Gang
You lot are too angsty maaannnnnnn..
Oh and
Bayonce
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.
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...

Primal Scream Primal Scream Primal Scream Primal Scream.

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.
A proper festival lineup for 2011 - http://www.laroutedurock.com/

Still pretty poor though for a 'pro'. Did he not have a spare guitar anyway?
Agree on Pendulum - awful.
I was there chemicals were ****in ace , I was wasted though and the lasers were great
thinking of going to see them at wireless festival, plus Aphex twin is playing
i wouldn't be wasted though, allegedly.
janelle monae
aloe blacc
Mumford & sons
Elbow
Oh yeah elbow were real good
The Wombles...Still keepin it real after all these years 🙂

I'm going to this... Come to Daddy, come come to Daddy... scary stuff! 😀
was tame impala featured anywhere on TV? saw them earlier in the week at the roundhouse, very good.

What? With all those hours of Coldplay/U2/Elbow/Beyonce to entertain us with?
Favourite artist over the weekend was Elbow, Guy Garvey was so relaxed about it all and really seemed to enjoy the moment.
Biggest disappointment, U2, dunno what happened to Bonio he just didn't seem to get the crowd going at all. As for him needing an autoprompt, he wrote the f******g songs for pities sake!!

To be fair it was a grim wet night to be standing out in that audience. But it's U2 we're talking about, so no need to be fair 😉
Actually the best entertainment that whole evening was in the overspill audience up above the Park stage for the "secret" Radiohead show, watching people fall over and shoot off down the hillside on the lethally slippy muddy surface 😆
aaargh... double post
Was the Radiohead concert broadcast at all?
