Songs not played at the opening ceremony (but should have been)
I thought they did a pretty good job overall, not too much cheese, but I thought there were some omissions. Obviously you could mention countless Beatles and Stones songs but they went with She Loves You and Satisfaction (I'd have preferred Jumpin' Jack Flash.
My omissions: Children of the revolution - T-Rex Sugar Baby Love - The Rubettes Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division Loaded - Primal Scream Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush Common People - Pulp |

Anything by Depeche Mode... one of the pioneers of British music who along with The Cure, The Clash and Iron Maiden started whole genres of music... sadly forgotten

Hometown Glory - Adele
Perfect fit. No-one will convince me she wasn't asked to appear but I guess the pregnancy scuppered any plans. |

I'd have liked to see Rhydian do 'I Vow To Thee My Country/The World In Union' (the one he did on X Factor)

Leona Lewis should of performed in my opinion, she was the first british female in 20 years (IIRC) to get a number 1 in america!

S Club 7
Will Young Girls Aloud Leona Lewis Susan Boyle Kylie Minogue Coldplay Dido Spellbound All should have been included, i am still one Direction WTF? They where crap too. They're a majorly over-rated act, i will never buy their record i dont care how massive they are. Some of the music is quite catchy. I weep for the unsung heroes of pop music. |

Agreed. Just Can't Get Enough isn't my favourite song by them but it is pretty well known I'd have thought. And Enjoy the Silence has had more covers than I've had years on earth.
