Th Artics Monkeys are soooooo young.

They remind of the Jam

I liked hope there's someone. The mercury award is the only decent music award around, arctic monkeys are worthy winners but I'd probably have gone for the editors or muse, both superb albums.

Arctic Monkeys were the deserved winner tbh, i thought they were going to go with the usual trend of giving it to some cunt who no-one's ever heard of.

Just my two penneth, as much as I love Arctic Monkeys, I reckon the Editors' album is better all round.

Pleased for the boys though.

As mentioned in other thread.

I think Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan's album "Ballad of Broken Seas" is really good.

Probably as I have a bias opinion of the genius that is Lanegan.

With all due respect, Muse are great and fantastic live so I am going to have to disagree with you here.  :evil:

I can't listen to the Editors without thinking "Ian Curtis Tribute Band"

Saw them live and thought they were okay though.
