-- Biggest Letdown: Glasvegas. "They were the least exciting act I saw. They're supposedly the best new band new in Britain, but just didn't fly."

VIDEO! Glasvagas playing "Garaldine" live on Jools Holland:

-- Best Discovery: Seasick Steve. "He must be like 60 years old, and apparently he was a railroad hobo for a while. He plays a three-string guitar and some one-string contraption, and thus has the makings of a disaster. Some boozy old hobo on the mainstage -- but he was a revelation."

VIDEO! Seasick Steve performing "It's All Good":

-- Best New Tunes: Franz Ferdinand. "The Scot quartet played a surprise secret set Friday night. One new tune, possibly called 'Turn On,' was a buzzy spin with call and response vocals. The crowd loved it."

VIDEO! Clips of Franz Ferdinand's surprise set:
