TOP STORY - BBC Hackney Weekend is a bit of a letdown: nothing in here to level Isle Of Wight's Tom Petty, Pearl Jam or Bruce Springsteen

Andy C - DnB legend that's immense but raw music always triumphs so no

Emeli Sande - looking forward to the new stuff but still, sorry, nope
Eric Prydz - one of the biggest names in house however it's a big no-no
Florence + The Machine - one of my fav ever people of the decade: not of forever
Flux Pavillion and Dr P - should have been in BBC Sound Of 2012 top five, nopedy, dopedy
Jack White - okay so that's one
Jessie J - you remember when people used to think she was good?
Labrinth - awesome in every sense of the word but there's awesomer (e.g. Pearl Jam)
Lana Del Rey - heard the album today and fell in love with it but still no
Leona Lewis - gone downhill big time from no to 100% never
Magnetic Man - along with that guy at the top they shaped music today still not really
Maverick Sabre - my man of the moment is nothing up to Wight
Michael Kiwanuka - people know who he is! make a name first buddy

Professor Green - hasn't come out with anything decent in ages
Rizzle Kicks - good fun, nothing else

Taio Cruz - the only time I'd throw my hands up in the air to him would be if I was throwing him out
The Maccabees - what a way to start the year, still not
The Ting Tings - guaranteed wonder, not quite there though
Tinie Tempah - hit and miss really this one so I reckon I'll hit the NO button
will.i.am - the hardest ever? I think not
Wretch 32 - his catch phrase is "oh yeah", however epic Wretch is: "oh no"
David Bowie - ha ha, I wish


So I know what station I'll be listening to from Friday 22 - Sunday 24 June: Absolute Radio. Biggest event in the history of Radio 1 my bottom!
