2011 MUSIC TV PLAYLIST

I'm a little late off the blocks with this one I know but it's a fine hour and a half of music TV (well at least it is if you have any time for the Essex Boy Review albums of the year feature!) It includes my favourite live TV music moment of the year; the McCoy Tyner over-run on a live edition of Later with Jools Holland. It's not just the fact that McCoy obliviously grooved on past his allotted time, prompting some unmissable on screen flapping by the ever awkward host Jools. It also struck a blow for music lovers because the same edition of the show featured the gormless spray-can attitude of Liam Gallagher's Beady Eye; but there's nothing more rock'n'roll in my book than a performer getting so far into his music that he seems to completely forget he's on TV. If, on the other hand, McCoy did it on purpose to save the viewers from more Elbow, well that's pretty cool as well. Was this the moment Jazz wrestled back the reigns of credible cool from Rock for the first time since the late 60s?
