Were you surprised when you saw you had a card from England?

No Jay-Z in the song of the year but U2!?

I was, I was really curious to know who it would be.

 

I feel bad because I still haven't sent mine out. :(

 

But I will next week.

No Jay-Z in the song of the year but U2!?

 

Not really surprising. There are lots of U2 fans on this forum, rap, hip-hop, R&B don't get much notice here.

:/

Yay for Florence and the xx!

Overrated album of the year

 

Overrated album of the year

No Line on the Horizon - U2

21st Century Breakdown - Green Day

Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective

The E.N.D. - Black Eyed Peas

Veckatimist - Grizzly Bear

Yay, Metric! :)

Holy cow, that EP vote is gonna be difficult.

 

U2 and Green Day were a bit disappointing but they received enough backlash to the point where I'm not sure I'd see them as being overrated.

prettyyy disappointed with those choices... i don't even think that apparatjik song is good.. i feel like people just voted for it cause of guy.

 

 

That's a pretty bad assumption.

I can't speak for everyone on here of course, but the dedicated and loyal Apparatjik fans I know on here, did not vote for Electric Eye because of Guy. It's a brilliant song IMO and since we have a large following of Apparatjik fans on this board why can't we vote for it?

You don't have to like the song or Apparatjik, but please don't make assumptions like that just because Guy is in Apparatjik.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Some ppl just voted for it cos of Jonas...there's four blokes in Apparatjik you know, not just Guy B :P :P :P

 

Anyway, pretty happy with the overrated album selection :lol: should have had Muse in there too tho *hides* :P

The debut albums this year have been excellent.

Why are Muse not in the Overrated album list.

That's a pretty bad assumption.

haha i didn't say you couldn't vote for it... i completely understand that this is a coldplay forum so therefore, there are a lot of Apparatjik fans. but in MY opinion, it isn't a very good song and definitely wouldn't make a BEST track of the year list on any other forum which led me to think that guys involvement is what made the song so popular here. that being said, i also don't doubt that you really do think it's a 'brilliant song' so there's no reason you shouldn't vote for it.. i just have a different opinion.
