The curtain has fallen on Glastonbury for another year, with hundreds of poor souls now picking through a weekend's worth of rubbish (insert joke about your least favourite act here).

If you're one of the few people who didn't manage to get a ticket or catch it on TV, you might be feeling a bit left out today as your colleagues/friends pore over all the Glasto action.

Fortunately, we've decided to put together 10 of the best performances of the weekend for you. Think of it as a mini Glasto, except your clothes won't get mucky.

LDN "" Lily Allen

Beneath the grey skies of Glastonbury, Ms. Allen's breakthrough hit almost sounds like a plea to the Gods of weather. It's still a belter, mind.

---

New York Morning – Elbow

Elbow performed one of the best tracks from their brilliant new album as the sun set over Worthy Farm. Lovely stuff.

---

Reflektor "" Arcade Fire

Despite calling their last time at Glastonbury a "˜nightmare', Friday headliners Arcade Fire managed to put the past behind them and enthral the sodden masses with songs old and new.

---

Little Maggie "" Robert Plant

The Led Zeppelin frontman performed a set of solo material and Led Zeppelin classics. Jimmy Page didn't show up, unfortunately, but the banjo player seen in this video more than made up for it.

---

Seven Nation Army "" Jack White

Jack White had a bit of weird night, appearing distant and occasionally swigging from a bottle of champagne. Nevertheless, he still managed to blow the metaphorical roof off Glasto wit, which he ended by jumping into his drum kit and generally going a bit mad.

---

Skrillex

No particular song for this one, just an hour of dubstep fun and frolics from the artist formerly known as Sonny Moore.

---

Where is My Mind? – Pixies

Pixies perform a near-perfect rendition of their biggest hit to an adoring crowd. Enough said.

---

Nothing Else Matters/Enter Sandman "" Metallica

Metallica were amazing. Was there ever any doubt?

---

Jolene "" Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton drew a bigger crowd than both Arcade Fire and Metallica. Proof, ultimately, that a chirpy personality and a few iconic anthems is all you need to conquer the music world.

---

Club Foot "" Kasabian

Raucous lad rock isn't the most obvious choice for a Sunday night, but it's difficult not to get carried away when Kasabian are in full flow.
