2010's Honours List will go down as one of the most raucous hitherto, with the whole “dinner-before-awards” innovation resulting in more heightened emotion and rambunctious good humour than ever. The Amorphous Androgynous's Gaz Cobain, picking up a Best Compilation gong for A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding In Your Mind, Volume 2: Pagan Love Vibrations, pulverised the record for Most Psychedelic Speech. Jean Michel Jarre astonished everyone with his approachability, erudition and luscious locks. Jarvis Cocker revealed a yen for Hawkwind. Antony advised Marc Almond to throw his award in a river (“Are you kidding?!” came the outraged reply). The Teardrop Explodes nearly reformed (barring an errant Cope, who got himself all freaked out and failed to get in his taxi). A smörgåsbord of musical accomplishment augmented by Be-Bop Deluxe's Bill Nelson and Chip “Wild Thing” Taylor and topped off by one Jimmy Page, heralded for being generally brilliant by a trying-hard-not-to-be-overawed-but-understandably-kind-of-failing Kasabian.
