Can’t believe these twats won it. To be fair though it is voted for by a bunch of industry bigwigs I believe, not fans of music.

I thought Burial’s album was one of the best from last year. Apparently someone put a £10000 bet on him to win with William Hill though :-/

You can almost see their minds working as they judge the albums..”Oh yeah I LOVE The Adele album…but that would be, like, SO obvious to vote for…and the Times reckons we’re gonna vote for Burial…so…erm…which band haven’t I actually heard of much? Cos they MUST be the coolest if no-one else gets them like I do…even though I haven’t heard them..BUT I’ve heard they’re dead good…from that man over there with the beard and the serious face and he looks like he knows EVERYTHING about cool stuff.”

I think I heard the fat beard from elbow say it was the bands most important moment. Well i’ve got news for you chubster - if that is the highlight of your career, your band doesn’t stand for anything and you collectively don’t mean shit!

This site is the ultimate for that:

They’ve only got one Therapy? review, and they weren’t as harsh…

Wow - that top 50 article was written by idiots for idiots.

There is something funny about how smug middle class white folk review hiphop…

I’m quite surprised ‘Now thats what I call Inuit folk chanting 67’ didn’t make the list…

I’m off now to watch an intimate showcase where a blind dwarf from Suffolk is gonna recite some medieval jester-jazz on his lute.

I’m sure to be the only one there - aren’t I cool? If I get there early enough I might catch the warmup act, which is someones dog on drums.
