What do you think of this year's effort?
Who has been your favorite act so far?
Didn't see Oasis or McCartney (I mean, who cares really?), but saw Muse. I've never owned any of their stuff, but they were superb. I read yesterday that their drummer's dad was there and died about an hour after their set ended. So sad.
Highlight for me was Damien Rice, who was amazing.
Also great were Zero 7, Goldfrapp, Amy Winehouse, Soulive, Quantic Soul Orchestra, even Joss Stone was impressive and (of course) Elbow were top. James Brown was embarrasingly past it.
Supergrass weren't higher up the bill as I believe they were there to replace The Libertines, who pulled out despite Pete Doherty giving rehab a real go.
> I thought Oasis were great. Why the hell were Muse headlinig,
> Supergrass are probably bigger than them or Morrissey.
MarkF Muse were headlining cause they are great :P Nuff said. and Morrissey has been around the business a long time, I remember him in the 1980's

Agreed.
> Franz Ferdinand
You really didn't miss much. They were really crap - can't perform live at all.
Top stuff.
Just watched Scissor Sisters again, they were really good live, may have tempted me to get the album.
Keane were OK live but the songs are too hard for him to sing at some points.
I don't like Morrissey, I don't really like Oasis, Supergrass were good too.
Missed loads of stuff I'd like to have seen though:
Goldfrappe
The Stills
Franz Ferdinand
Can't be bothered to list any more...
Muse were by far the greatest, Supergrass were alright. Morrisey was pretty poor mind.
Only really saw Sunday. Franz Ferdinand and Snow Patrol quite good.
Intense. Geddit?
