Torrential rain. Flooded tents. Overflowing portaloos. Headline sets from Travis. Name a humiliating indignity, and I've suffered it.

Frankly, it got us pretty angry, so we put together our own alternative list of the past year's best British albums. Let us know who you think's been overlooked, too. One last thing to tell you about: we've got a new metal show starting on NME Radio this Sunday at 7pm, in conjunction with Metal Hammer magazine and Sonisphere Festival.
