Not that impressive really, Muse are shite.
Feck. The Glasto encore's been better than the Dublin one 
Seconded. Muse are wank. Wank live too, not sure how they won that "best live act" thing a few years back.

Totes emotes
One of the great sets.
Radiohead is just to good... Fantastic stuff from them.
This really is special.
I can't see Foo Fighters topping this, could well be the best Glastonbury headline set I've seen.
Gets my vote.
Flaming Lips sounding great now too on 6 Music.
Well Dublin didn't get quite as good a set but at least it got How to Disappear completely.
Feck really? Can't turn off Radiohead.
This right. Float down the liffey boys.
The TV's half an hr behind. Live has switched to Flaming Lips now.
Are Radiohead the best British band ever? I think they're better than The Beatles. There, I've said it.
Is it just me or have the rest of the band not aged at all and Thoms taken the combined hit on their behalf?
Wow. Big call. Smiths would have something to say about that for me.
Why limit it to Britain?
Last hour of this has been immense
Kinda hard to fathom the impact The Beatles had fifty years ago now to be fair, they were definitely the most important band and will probably never be surpassed.
Don't think I'll ever love a band as much as I love Radiohead, though, that's for sure. But I did pretty much grow up with them.
that's true, if you're the best British band you are probably the best band full stop.Pogue just wants to keep U2 and The Corrs out of the conversation for best band ever.
You left out Boyzone and B*witched.
I thought it was alright, wasn't really paying attention until the last hour, but I am a pleb and only really like The Bends and OK Computer. Lotus Flower was cool at the end, I forgot how good it is.

Radiohead are still absolutely incredible. Stunning on Tuesday night in Dublin and even better tonight. Didn't want either set to end. They could have played another 20 songs either night without a drop in quality also. Wonderful!
Nah
What non-British bands are even in the conversation for greatest band ever?
Well it's all down to opinion but
Nirvana is my favourite band of all time
But also GnR, Metallica, The Doors, R.E.M., chilli Peppers, U2 and plenty more
Nirvana are great, but clearly didn't create enough music to be in the discussion for greatest ever.
The others aren't even close.
I'll agree although my vote would go for Led Zeppelin as the GOAT, two separate categories perhaps. .
Some good bands there but don't think any could match Radiohead's discography. 25 years of excellence. (King of Limbs aside)
Like I say, it's down to opinions
How do you judge? It's not record sales as then feckin backstreet boys or the like would win
In my list I don't even have any great love for the doors or U2, but I listed them as I do think they should be in the equation
If I was forced to say who is the greatest of all time, in fairness it would be brits and it would be the Beatles
How could the Foo Fighters top Radiohead?
I like Foo Fighters okay but it's like saying you can't see a bottle of warm piss topping a pint of cold lager on a summer's dayJonny Greenwood has got some head of hair for someone pushing 50.Is it just me or have the rest of the band not aged at all and Thoms taken the combined hit on their behalf?
Muse are just a poor mans Radiohead.
For me, definitely, absolutely fantastic for so many years and Thoms voice feck me
Saw them years ago at mk with R.E.M, another of the best bands ever.
