heres mine... i dont care zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Steve.]

The Zutons deserve a nomination for Best Group, For me they keep getting better and better, but no one's listening to them!

I think Franz Ferdinand will win most of the awards they're nominated for, I'd like them to spare the Best Group for Keane though, superb album!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I was listening to them only this evening...

[pip1984_2k]

Zutons are really good. Esp live in a small venue.

[Lucie]

MUSE please!

[pip1984_2k]

Muse have won best live act.

[pip1984_2k]

Is this not one of the weirdest sights in music



Billy Joe and McFly!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

theres no great difference between the two bands.

[Andy Bkr]

best british male THE STREETS wtf is that all about ??????? i bet the other members of the streets feel so proud

[Ickle Angel]

I

[Eddie]

The streets is not a band, the streets in one person, surely you knew that - if you were joking it did not come accross in your post - Yea, it always seem strange that he should have a name that makes it sound as if 'the streets' are a band but apparently it is because his sound is the sound of 'the streets'.

[Matt F]

heres mine... i dont care zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yep, can't say I give a t*** either.

theres no great difference between the two bands.

Now that's just stupid.

[Eddie]

Theres, not a great great difference. One is much much better than the other (Greenday of course) and write much better tunes and have been and will be around longer than McFly but in truth they do both play guitar/bass/drums Rock/pop songs. You might not class Greenday as pop but they are popular and they write catchy tunes with hooks, as do Mcfly. It woudl be strange if a Greenday song sounded like McFly or vice versa but it wouldn't come as completly shocking as it would not be a radical departure.

I cant believe I just wrote all that, I am SO bored!

Technically, 'The Streets' is just Mike Skinner as all of the songs that he produces are coming from 'The Streets'. There aren't just "2 people" although at a gig (or the brits) Skinner performs with another dude and a full band. In a way it's more like they are performing 'The Streets' music as the songs listened to on Streets CD's are not using any of this live band, they are done by Mr. Skinner himself with bits of sample robbery, hook burglary, noise slavery or wholesale piracy.

[Andy Bkr]

and if you understand that your better than me

It seems I wasn't wrong. I take my apology back then, they don't come that freely!

[Andy Bkr]

[Betti911]

[DemonHorse]

and if you understand that your better than me

Yay I'm better than you..... joy
