Shut the fuck up before I jump out of your computer screen and beat you to death with your mouse. Muse aren't shit. What have Muse contributed to music other than a couple of ok tracks. Radiohead MAKE history. You little emo bastard.
Doesnt matter, selling singles/albums/downloads doesnt mean youre the best at what you do, its an award for songwriting and playing music well...which, elbow do hence the award. Sales has nothing to do with best, the best cars like bentleys, aston martins havent sold as much as a vauxhall corsa but they are still better - point proven.
...mhossell02, stupid idiot!! Quality music is not measured in sales you fool. Elbow deserve the award because they write brilliant songs, brilliant song writing wins awards. Im guessing you like girls aloud and lament the ending of top of the pops?
I cant believe it has taken The Seldem Seen Kid to propell them to the heights they now sit at. It is a top album, but so are the other three. I love Elbow, in my top 5 acts of all time. For people who say Coldplay are better, go and do some research into Elbows back catelogue. They make the most beautiful music ever that strikes so many different emotions in you. Coldplay are a good act, but their latest record for me is bland and boring. They should do what many think Oasis should, and stop.
The Brits was a joke, imo. Elbow are shit and so were every band in that arena...except coldplay. For me, this just shows how mediocre and average today's music is. There are very few people who are making good music right now...and it's a fuckin' disgrace. How do so many people in this world have so much bad taste in music right now? These bands will be forgotten in a few years. So much mediocrity. Bands nowadays don't have the look, the music and they don't mean anything to anybody.
Face it, you know I'm right. You know deep down that music isn't that great nowadays. There are no bands out there that are cool, play good music and mean something to us all.
You seem quite narrow minded about what is good and what isn't. Coldplay is radio pap, the latest album was the biggest let down ever and Chris Martin has resorted to doing Bono impressions. Plus, when did being cool have anything to do with it? That's fashion, mate, not music, and Elbow make great music.
I ain't narrow minded, mate - I just know what is good and what isn't. Well, to be a great band, you need to look cool, mean something to people and make great music. Just take a look at The Smiths or The Stone Roses to see what I'm on about. These bands were cool as fuck, made great music and they both were the voice of a generation. Now, can you honestly compare a band like elbow to these guys?
Not really, only because Elbow don't have to target a generation of apathetic youth; they are true artists, writing for themselves about themselves, just as Lennon said 'Say what you mean, mean what you say, put a beat to it'. Besides, the role of an artist isn't to be a preacher or a Leader, it's merely to provide an expression of one's own feelings and if many people happen to agree, then it's mere coincidence. Elbow are in their own league, certainly above Coldplay, that's for sure.

Look, really, the only good bands out there are MGMT, Glasvegas and The Arctic Monkeys. Even Noel Gallagher himself admitted that all of the bands out there are pretty average.
Noel Gallagher isn't exactly the brightest light in the harbour - Arctics I'll go with simply because Alex Turner is a lyrical genius, but really mate, that's what bands have the NME's attention rather than what's really out there; there are some brilliant underground and experimental indie scenes dotted all round the U.K.
They used to be underground, but now White Lies have gone stratospheric - Vib Gyor from Leeds are definitely worth a look, like Starsailor meets Sigur Ros; there is also The Sticks from Manchester - them two are worth the most attention at the moment.
Lennon and Morrissey would be embarrassed of you. Think about music and learn about it before you decide to make stupid ignorant comments. You're also embarrassing yourself.
nah, I'm not embarrassing myself - I don't give a fuck what you or anyone else thinks, mate. It's my opinion, and I'm entitled to that. Btw, how would you know whether or not John Lennon would be embarrassed? Morrissey himself has even said that modern music isn't what it used to be.
...lennonmorrissey (how pretentious is that name!!haha) you are a cock!! Maybe there is nothing out there for you, being so shallow minded and so "cool". More like pretentious dickhead!! hahaha
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ahh, yet another cockhead. 'You are a cock'? Well, I must say you have quite an intelligent brain there my friend. How highly original for you to come up with such an insult. Being so shallow minded? I, unlike yourself, know what's good music. Have you heard The Smiths, The Stone Roses etc? Even you wouldn't compare a shitty band like Elbow to them. Face it, the majority of bands out there are shit. The only bands I like that are around right now are Glasvegas, MGMT and Arctic Mnokeys.
'How dare the premier ignore my invitations. He'll have to go. So too the bunch he luncheons with. It's second on my list of things to do. At the top is stopping by your place of work and acting like I haven't dreamed of you and I and marriage in an orange grove. You are the only thing in any room you're ever in. I'm stubborn selfish and too old.'... 'The violets explode inside me when I meet your eyes. Then I'm spinning and I'm diving like a cloud of starlings. Darling is this love?' Elbow.
mmmmm coldplay is just a melody, that's ok, it's light. Elbow is music, big difference, amazing, i'm a big radiohead fan, but elbow just did it this year, amazing album n music, keep it up, deep music, other level, elbow is great, music for a long road journeys,,,, that's elbow : )
the brits only gave this lot the prize to appear in with the indie crowd like the mercurys,its nothing personal i just think they are boring,fallen angel and fugutive motel are good tracks the rest just leaves me cold
Good old Elbow, I love them. Anyone who saw them perform "On A Day Like This" at Latitude last year will understand why they won, their live performances are phenomenal. Well done lads. :)
On a side note, does anyone else notice the correlation between horrendous spelling/grammar and those who prefer Coldplay over Elbow? It's just an observation I've made.
it does seem to me like the coldplay lovers are a little lacking in the spelling & grammar department........... i always figured coldplay fans to be idiots!!
congrats to Elbow, haven't heard the new stuff yet (living in Italy) but if it's anything like their music to date, i shouldn't be disappointed... good stuff, just when i lost faith in "the brits".....
im calling them shit because ive never herd them b4 so it proves there shit brit awards is just fucked up serious cold play havent done that much that why they probz didnt work
That's the most... unbelievably naieve and narrow-minded logic I have ever read. It's not even logic, it's just foolishness. I hope one day when you grow up you come to realise the stupidity of what you just said.
People who say "I've never heard a band , therefore they must be shit" are not really naive - perhaps their experience tells them they wouldn't like it. I know I'll think they're shit for instance because any band that wins a Brit award, I usually hate.
