GYEO wrote about the NME Awards yesterday and made a few predictions – the results, that’s of our predictions aswell as the actual NME Awards of course…if anybody is interested? We’re guessing probably not!
But some links back to the good old NME…read on
Best British Band: Oasis – YES started with a bang! 100% track record!
Best International Band: The Killers - NO and GYEO don’t like Killers so vote with your head not your heart I guess!
Best Solo Artist: Pete Doherty – NO. Whatever!? Rock and roll.
Best New Band: MGMT – YES and another one right.
Best Live Band: Muse – NO. Great live band and GYEO should have known better!
Best Album: Kings Of Leon ‘Only By The Night’ – YES!!
Best Track: MGMT ‘Time To Pretend’ – YES!! Cool we’re clawing back some small amount of integrity!!
Best Video: Last Shadow Puppets ‘My Mistakes Were Made For You’ – NO. Damn…good video aswell.
Best DVD: Arctic Monkeys – ‘Live At The Apollo’ – YES. We were sure this would do it!
Best Band Blog: Oasis’ Noel Gallagher – NO. Hmmm oh well!!
That’s a sketchy half right and half wrong for GYEO. Hope you did better?
A category that we missed out in our predictions was the live event – we’d have got this one right for sure.
Best Live Event: Glastonbury 2008
