This is a fun read about some of the more controversial moments in the history of the Proms.

Would you believe that Simon Rattle even makes the list ...

I've had to suffer their music at several Proms and I agree with the audience on these two.

Mind bogglingly tedious!!

I've been lucky with Rattle live. His Mahler 2 was quite awesome.

My biggest shocker, apart from the aforesaid Birtwistle and Maxwell Davies, was Rihm and some godawful din along the lines of Paul's waiter with tea tray falling down some stairs. It was an inaugural piece. Hoping it was also the last performance.
