The List's stall pundits go all dewy-eyed over Glasgow's highlights.

Communicado took the ambitions and hopes oi 1990 on its shoulders and began the year with a breathtaking theatrical portrait oi a nation- subjective. impulsive, passionate and unique. (Mark Fisher)

WORST
Jaded, bitter and cynical, The List’s pundits let oil steam about the year's let-downs. I ROCK: The Big Day. Feet worn down to stumps by the end. Impossibility at seeing anything at all in the George Square crush, and at getting into the quayside when the most interesting things were happening. (Alastair Mabbot)
I THEATRE: The Ship. Smug. indulgent and hackneyed. One at the best comments I heard about The Ship was that, like a ' much Victorian English theatre, it was decadent. (Mark Fisher)
I JAZZ: None.

I ART: Degas Exhibition Press Launch.
With pre-pubescent girls dressed up as dancerstor the (exclusively mate) photographers. Yuk.

I SPORT: Scottish Power Chanenge.
A group at musclebound louts showing their skill in a variety oi meaningless tests at endurance or power, but noticeablylailing to raise a cheer.
