[RedStratocas]

to be honest, i dont know enough of these artists to really be able to choose. all these lists have one or two artists i havent given even a reasonable listen.

all im going to say is huh? @ this selection.

im just gonna come right out and say i dont think a single one of these albums deserves even a nomination for best brit album of the past 30 years.

and @ animal collective in the "breakthrough" section: whats their definition of "breakthrough?" animal collective will never ever ever be played on the radio, so that cant be it, and even though they have widened their fanbase since mpp, theyve been well recognized by music publications since 2004.

[TaffTalk]

Not a big fan of the Brit Awards or Pop music in general, I hate how some artists are idolised when half of them have tosh voices.

Aslong as Dire Straits wins that one they are nominated for, I'll be happy, only decent band/artist up there.

[Alkaz]

Leona lewis to win everything thanks alot :) Some ok nominations their, I wanted GA to be up for best group.

how can they be up for best group of the last year? they haven't released anything.

[Black_Apalachi]

I thought Florence & The Machine was a band. Everything here is so random :S I'd be happy to see Kasabian to win at least one of their nominations and Bruce Springsteen should take the international one.

The Album of 30 years one looks like it could be interesting.... some of them are great iconic albums but others are just stupidly random as if they've been picked out of the air. (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? has to take it though I reckon. In fact a lot of the nominations in most of those awards look extremely odd.

[Sammeth.]

I love Leona so much but I never expected her to get a nomination this time around.

[Alkaz]

how can they be up for best group of the last year? they haven't released anything.
They went on tour, they are still orsum though.

[untrustus]

I thought Florence & The Machine was a band.

she has a backing band - "the machine" - but really she writes all the songs by herself, so she's a solo artist technically.


They went on tour, they are still orsum though.

yeah, but just sayin' you gotta release a record to get nominated. them's the rules.

[Plebings]

Please give International Album to MPP ;( no double awards for GaGa!

I think you've broke through when you hit the top 40 album chart though.

Where's the xx *sob*

ah and as much as I love Delphic, Ellie has already taken it :(

[Mitch4?]

Lady gaga's going to take the most awards and she's not even British. <3

[clueless]

pretty much agree with what you are saying, maybe coldplay or oasis for the album one.

im going to the awards i cant wait :] although the people arent really my type itll be a wicked night!

reckon lady gaga and florence will dominate this years

[Randomme]

So its too late to vote :(
