The two that pop into my head are Bon Iver supporting Iron and Wine in London in 2007/8 I think and Three Trapped Tigers supporting Deftones last month.

Best that I can remember were Delphic supporting Orbital in Sheffield a few years back.

Worst has to be the band supporting New Order at Manchester Apollo last year. Enough kit on stage to launch a mission to Pluto, and all they could manage was a repetitive dirge that didn't go anywhere, even though the drummer worked his backside off. It seemed to be only one track too. Awful. Can't remember the band name, and would only want to know it so I could avoid them in future.

Best support act would have to be Kings Of Leon when they supported The Music at Blackpool Empress Ballroom. This was back before they got styled and went downhill.

As for worst, theres been a few! But I'd have to say BRMC when they supported Oasis at Finsbury Park. Was really gutted but they were terrible. They've got better now though hence going to see them tomorrow

Polysics supporting Kaiser chiefs in Leeds in 2005/6. Never had the chance to see them live since but they're an amazing band.

A few year ago I saw Example (2nd Support) and Professor Green (1st Support) at a Plan B gig at Sheffield Leadmill.

I had a spare ticket and couldn't even give it away!

Now that was some bill!

I wonder what the pecking order would be now?

Oasis supporting Ocean Colour Scene at the Jug Of Ale in Moseley. Only held about 150 and about half full.....a legendary gig in a venue sadly no more.

Dirtbox Disco and Goldblade with the Misfits in Leeds last night was quality.....possibly the coldest venue I have ever been in mind you with only the Derby Venue and Granby Halls Leicester coming close.

The Best:
White Lies (Supporting Glasvegas)
The Vaccines (Supporting Arctic Monkeys)

The Worst:
The Horrors (Supporting Arctic Monkeys back in 2008 just after their first album, they were truly woeful! Would never have guessed then they'd go on to make two best selling, award winning albums)

The Slits (Were pelted with coins and bottles before The Cribs)






Wemberlee, Wemberlee, We're the famous Carlisle United and we won at Wemberlee
