ChezGiven 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Robert Plant & Allison Krauss or Elbow. That is all. It is pretty good. He must have thought Walking Into Clarksdale was canny shite if he felt the urge to re-record his own songs with someone other than Jimmy Page. The Raising Sand version of Please Read The Letter IS a mile better like. Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip should have been in front of Burial. Agreed, listened to Burial this morning on the way to work, was interesting but fairly basic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Glory 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I disagree with that, I didn't think Dan Le Sac VS Scroobius Pip, their album at least, was cohesive at all. Some good tracks, but by no means a great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Elbow win. And they're off their tits giggly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14060 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Easy to dismiss as a fairly standard muso bloke decision, but it's a canny album. And their response was well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 86 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 for me the burial album stands out , but its onlly because i use similar production methods..... i.e. a shedload of reverb! fair play to elbow.... not a bad album at all.

The Mighty Hog 336 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Over the moon, thought if they didn't get it for Asleep they'd never win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Who would you like to see on the list? The Boy Least Likely To Late of the Pier I didn't really love either of them, but that's about it for me and British music this year. Five live just called lily Allen a waxed Chas n Dave.

Matty 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'd like to see Kasabian on there because I think their new album is class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I know it's an overused word but it really is such a pretentious award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I know it's an overused word but it really is such a pretentious award. I think it walks the line well.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Anthony and Alistair from Sweet Billy Pilgrim currently play in The Boy Least Likely To's touring band, and Anthony's playing is featured on both The Boy Least Likely To albums. So at least one of my picks is tenuously associated to a nominee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence and the Machine Kasabian Bat for Lashes La Roux Glasvegas If they haven't all had a number one, they've had a top ten....and will be getting Brit award nominations.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 La Roux? Oh well, whatever. My favourite (that I've heard) from that list are The Horrors so I'm pulling for them since it's got to be better than Florence and the Machine.

Guest alex Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Who cares though? It basically is the Brits to my mind. There'll be a stand in HMV with all the nominees on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
