Apparently Springsteen played Glasto in 2009, not 2010. So I will change that 'Legend' vote to someone who has died in the last year, namely Captain Beefheart.

Brown, you're wrong about the Willow Smith song, it's ace. Soundbunny, you're right about Usher, he is clearly a sex fiend. Bob, can we have an article that's just you ranting about all the pop songs you hate? I think that'd be quite good.

Great review! I love 'No Pussy Blues'. I also love Grinderman album covers, perhaps a little more than their music.

I've heard of this 'indie' music, and while I find most of it obscure and difficult to understand, this band are bland and derivative enough that I can play it and it won't make me think of how dull and meaningless my life is.

Beta Band, anyone? Boards of Canada? You've also not mentioned The Pastels. Not a massive fan myself but they're alright.

Ha ha ha. So a drunken conversation in the pub becomes a proper article about music. Well done. But I can't believe you didn't include TFC in your top 5, you montser!

Is it wrong that I quite like Shiny Happy People? I don't care what Stipe thinks, it's a good song. At the risk of sounding like a total idiot, it makes me smile.

Oh, but apart from that, I agree. I do like Ziggy Stardust only slightly better than Low, and also London Calling. I would never argue with Eno or Neu! Excellent stuff.

Bleeurgh! I hate Pink Floyd!!!
