I was at 1,2,3,4 and 6 put of the top10 and with the exception of Radiohead the others were average at best.
Surprisingly there are a fair few others I was at none of which were that great.
For the record I was only at Madonna to get brownie points from the missus.

I was at 19 (Libertines) which was brilliant and 88 (Muse) which was underwhelming with crap sound.

If it's the year I remember didn't the foo fighters play as well? I remember getting bored halfway through coldplay. The chillis I don't remember being blown away by I had gone off them by then. Now reading 94 I think it was the chillis headlined and were amazing but they went downhill after that.

We went in a group of ten and I was expecting to be blown away by the Chillis, but much to my surprise, I thought Coldplay were brilliant and the better headliner. Only two of us out of the ten felt the same way and we ended up marrying each other
Was that the year the Foo Fighters played before Coldplay. I was more blown away by the Foos than coldplay. But I did see Coldplay three other times that year so maybe that had an effect.
The chilis had become boring by 2003. So much so that I can't even remember their performance very well. So I'd probably agree with you between the two.
Chilis started to go downhill when they gave up the brown and saying motherfucker a lot.

I was there too, fantastic day. Supergrass plus Beck in support.
Don't think there was a dry eye in the field when they played Creep to close the show
Despite being a ridiculously huge fan i've never seen this footage.
Truly awesome, as you would expect from one of the best bands ever. What's truly incredible to me, having been to Glastonbury on a couple of occasions previously, is how more or less note perfect they are.
Utterly awesome spectacle to watch and just the very mereset hint of the first bars of songs such as Creep, High and Dry, and Paranoid Android are enough to illicit a moist eye and remind me of all I felt and went through in my dark teenage years.

Correct.
As for radiohead I prefer them from Kid A onwards. And they'll never eclipse supporting the Frank n Walters at Brighton East Wing in 92(ish).
