 | seems like a sub-par year for brit music if that is the list they come up with...  but i do know that there are some
 better releases not on that list... but electronic music
 doesn't seem to count for much in the real world (alas)

 improvement in the future.

 | I thought Colplay were supposed to be the new Radiohead, so going by that they should have done their 'The Bends' by
 now. And frankly, A Rush of Blood to the Head is hardly
 living up to standards.

 | I would be suprised if either Radiohead or Coldplay won, they normally give the prize to less established groups.  I
 may be wrong though.

 | dead-eight - the point of the list is to show the musical diversity of modern music not just to list lots of
 electronica. anyway the best electronic album of the last 12
 months IS listed there.
 
 nowadays the winners tend to be judged more on originality
 than anything else. whether thats a good thing or not is
 open to debate.
