Time for a post-match round up, then. Who do we think turned in the best performance of Glastonbury 2007? Let’s look at some of the nominees…

ARCTIC MONKEYS
In the unenviable position of making their Glastonbury debut by headlining the Pyramid Stage, the Monkeys were visibly nervous, but Alex Turner’s gabbling turned out to be quite endearing. However, they acquitted themselves admirably, delivering an assured set that showcased what accomplished musicians they’ve become in just two years. A cheeky cover of Diamonds Are Forever paid tribute to Dame Shirley Bassey and proved the young Yorkshiremen could rise to the occasion when required.

IGGY AND THE STOOGES
While the big draw on Saturday was The Killers over at the Pyramid Stage, the smart money was on the reformed original punks, The Stooges. With a setlist that kept rigorously to the band’s first two albums (The Stooges, 1969 and Fun House, 1970) and their reunion platter The Weirdness, the now-legendary stage invasion has set some kind of high-water mark in Glastonbury history. What can other artists do to top that? It's a tricky one...

EDITORS
Surprise hit of Saturday night, considering the critical drubbing that An End Has A Start has received in some quarters. But they were pleased to be there, and it showed. Sometimes you need conviction to get you over that mud thing.

KASABIAN
2007’s festival staple: Tom Meighan whipping an audience into a frenzy. The ‘Bian boys have been working very hard of late and it shows. They also have the surefire Festival winner of having songs that – even if you’ve never heard them before – all have a singalong bit with no words, which ensures you can join in. Genius.

JOHN FOGERTY
The so-called Creedence Clearwater Revival reunion didn’t happen, but would you have noticed? Here was the man himself, belting out the swampiest sounds at Glastonbury, bar the slushing of the mud in front of the Other Stage. Bad Moon Rising was all present and correct, of course, and Fogerty reminded everyone that he wrote Rockin’ All Over The World. Michael Eavis himself was spotted at the front, and what better recommendation can you have than that?

BJÖRK
Some said this was a disappointment, others were wowed by the freaky instrumentation on several Björk classics. But were there enough hits? Or are we just being picky, now?

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT
A spot of sunshine, sisterly guest appearance from Martha and an excellent showbiz Judy Garland finale, let down by rubbish sound and “production problems”. Still memorable, though.

DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY
Popular opinion has it that she “shot her load” with her Bond medley and should have kept those big choons separate. But on the other hand… Get The Party Started… Light My Fire… the fact that she turned up at all…

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS
Some old skool ravers claimed there was “Chemical fatigue” in seeing Tom’n’Ed at Glastonbury again, but when the lovely green and lilac lasers shot out across the Vale of Avalon, illuminating the raindrops, all to the sound of big, stupid tunes like Galvanize, it was hard to resist.

BABYSHAMBLES
Surprisingly coherent set from Doherty, bringing that community feel to the slush-filled Other Stage. Bit too much Kate Moss though, and the hangers-on in the wings seemed to outnumber the audience at some points.

HARD-FI
If you weren’t struggling to hear The Killers, or on stage with Iggy Pop, you could be enjoying Richard Archer’s charity show for Love Music, Hate Racism. And while the Leftfield tent wasn’t packed, it was jumping to the top ironic chav anthems Hard To Beat and Living For The Weekend. A minor masterpiece.

THE GO! TEAM
As the weather on Sunday took a permanent turn for the worse, the massed ranks of The Go! Team took to the Other Stage and unloaded their cheery mash-up of Northern Soul, double-dutch rhymes and guitar riffage. Singer Ninja’s crazy and climactic tribute to “dances of the world” gladdened the heart and got her extremely muddy. But, bravo!
