Finally, it looks like theyre at last turning into awards show that is about decent music, it started last year with some respectable nominations but none won anything, this years winners are much better apart from Will Young and Robbie Williams(I always thought Radio 2 listeners had better taste).
Joss Stone for best female was ok although how she won best Urban is beyond me.
Franz Ferdinand deservedly won best rock and group although should have been nominated and won best single
Keane walked off with best album and best newcomers
Gwen Stefani got best international female, don't agre with it, should have been Kelis
Avril Lavigne should have got best pop act but it went to McFly
Will Young getting british single was a disgrace
Muse got live act
Eminem got best international male and a couple of years ago i would have agreed but at least it wasn't bloody Usher
Scissor Sisters win international album, breakthrough and group, the last one probably being the only one should have got.
Robbie Williams won yet another vote to prove once again how dumb the voting public are, if thats the best song of the last 25 years i'll jump off a cliff.
Bob Geldof gets the outstanding contribution to music award, wrongly i think, musically he's not done much in a long time and if anything this is just for his charity work.
Overall it's a big improvement on previous years and i'll be looking forward to next years Brits.

Considering their roots, the overriding style and the avant garde 'art-rock' kinda labels, I count them as a rock band, just extremely different.

Mars Volta aren't really rock. They aren't really classifiable, it's like a load of wierd experimental sound clips burst together. And it sounds nice.

Slightly strange that Muse - Absolution was up for Best Album, despite being released in 2003. Well at least they won 'Best Live Act' which we all knew they would.

Listen to Mars Volta or Rival Schools and tell me they're a truly great, not a good, rock band.
The dummer's actually some brain-damaged guy who can only remember one thing at a time. They chose to make his solitary memory a tedious drum beat.

No they didn't, they're awful. They have one song which they change a little bit and release again and again as a different song. They look stupid, they sound stupid and they're just plain bad. Why they've become so big I'll never understand. I predict they'll enjoy one more year of glory and then fade away.

Well, it's an improvement on last time.
Still can't get that stain off the carpet.
