Glastonbury 2010 anyone.

Twenty years ago I would have been very dubious if you had told me the best performances and musicians would come from the rap bands at a Glastonbury festival, but from what I have seen of the coverage so far, go Dizzee.
I have never got Gorillaz, but even as a fan of prog rock, this sounds to me like a bad prog concept album performance. Lots of musicians, some story being told by projections, and great deal of portent, but very little performance and no tunes.
I thought what I saw of Dizzee Rascall was great, fun, character and some real stage presence. Snoop Dogg was OK too, but not quite so much fun as our home grown rap.
I liked a bit of what I heard of Willy Nelson, but I saw him at Glastonbury years ago and really enjoyed hearing some good songs and good musicians.
Disappointed by La Roux, I didn't think she moved to such a big stage, probably great in a club, but sounded strained and a little lost at Glastonbury.
I am probably reflecting on Glastonbury's when I saw bands I loved headlining, so am biased, but what do others think of this years performances and coverage?
