Weller is my bet

YES! The xx won!

Woot! They got it right.

:thumbsup:

:angry:

 

Can't stand The xx! Way too bland and boring...

The XX aren't bad. If their album had more songs like the Intro it may have been better...

it has been such a joy following the rise and rise of The xx since i first discovered them through 6music early in 2009. at that point they were nothing more than a hype band and unlike a great majority of them they actually delivered.

 

i just love the quietness (if thats a word) of the album. it's just the most perfect album to listen to on a calm still winters night. i really enjoy music where u can pick out clearly each instrument and each note and thats exactly what the xx gave me over 11 tracks.

 

i know it's not everyone cup of tea but i think it's brilliant. and i agree with eddie, Intro is an amazing start to the album and it's sort of become the standard montage song these days.

Hopefully they would have been given more exposure now.

I know. :( ditto Biffy Clyro :disappointed:

 

I'm not wholly disappointed The xx won tho, I guess they are a deserving band for an award like this. Their album is decent enough, but I just think there are better albums from the last 12months is all...:\

 

 

(At least it wasn't Dizzee Rascal :lol:)

So not a surprising choice, but a good one. :thumbsup:
