CSS did not release the album of the year based on one fookin' song. If I released an album containing one red-hot single and 9 other tracks of fart noises put through a phaser with Les Claypool on bass, would that be album of the year? No. The Warning - Yes, this is a top album. However, Muse should have won the Mercury music prize, for two simple reasons. 1) They managed to put Queen, Prince and Radiohead in a blender and come out with good music, rather than some kind of turd parfait. 2) The video for Knights of Cydonia. If that's not the best thing ever, I dont know what is. And it does have appeal to electro-fucks. Listen to Supermassive Black Hole, and tell me it doesn't. Also, Over And Over the best song of the decade? We're barely halfway through you arsehole! The Pipettes - I think there you're just indulging your love for a bunch of sheilas singing in harmony, you camp bastard. You're camper than a row of pink tents wearing stockings in a kickline in Millets. Arctic Monkeys? I thought you might do something interesting here, a post-backlash reappraisal? But no, you just stuck it on because of the hype and dead zeitgeist. Also, indie hitting the mainstream is like HIV hitting Africa. Not. Good. The Guillemots - I've heard their whole album, and had to listen to a couple of tracks to write this, because they're just like Coldplay. Instantly forgettable, with each song blending into the other like Angel Delight. Cock-flavour Angel Delight. Now, I love Sufjan Stevens even more than you Alex, but it was a christing outtakes album! Actually, still better than the rest of the list. The Holloways. Sub-Chas and Dave, post-Libertines, Larrikin Love retread of how crap England is. The cunts even formed at Nambucca. Dirty Pretty Things. I reckon that's how Carl Barat describes his own lumpen shite. Lily Allen. Alright, she's pretty good. I'll give you this one. Aluminium. Orchestral reworkings of the White Stripes. I can see this for Pink Floyd, because both Pink Floyd and opera are liked by fat redfaced men in their forties, but the White Stripes? What cuntage is this.
