But where does last nights medley rank in this dubious tradition?

Coldplay and Jay-Z (2009)

In the oddly plentiful field of Coldplay-rap fusions, the remix of Lost!

featuring Jay-Z is easily my favorite.

He would officially unretire about eight months later.

As a spectacle, its inarguably great television, but the performance hasnt aged well, musically or symbolically.

Last year, Eminem called Tyler, the Creator a homophobic slur onKamikaze.

Those protesters had a point.
