The Flaming Lips – who joined the bill at the last minute when the White Stripes pulled out - have been voted as the best band at T in the Park this year by NME readers. Their set scored 9.5 out of 10. That said 60% said they missed the Stripes – and only 69% felt the Lips were a worthy replacement. Coldplay averaged 8 out of 10, REM 7.5, The Music 7, The Charlatans 6.5, and Underworld 6.5. Other liked bands included the Kings of Leon, Super Furry Animals, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Biffy Clyro, Idlewild, and The Proclaimers.
