Concert for Diana

The point being what exactly?

In case you haven't heard, Prince William has made the most of his post-Kate Middleton singledom by organising a concert to mark the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's death. The line-up includes Kanye West, Lily Allen and Joss Stone.

Now I'm not bagging the memory of a woman who could seriously work a skirt suit, but what exactly do these performers have to do with Diana? Lily Allen would have been about 13 when Diana was alive, Joss Stone even younger.

Which raises the question: who was musically relevant ten years ago?

Hanson - MMM Bop
Can't believe 10 years have passed since Diana's death? Then check out the facial hair on these guys

Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life
First prize for mumbling

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping
You knew all the words back in '97, and you still do


Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression that I get
Instant credibility from being on Clueless
