Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I figured it would be better to post it right here where everyone could see it, as opposed to in the WoM section, where no one really goes at this point. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone who participated and helped make this happen. :smiley: Now, if everyone is ready, I'd like to get this started. First, to announce the awards that didn't quite work out. There weren't nearly as many as I thought there were, but there were a few. These include: ♦ Most Underrated Album ♦ Best Cover (band/artist) ♦ Best New Artist Introduced to Forum That's about it. I was able to sort through everything else. So, if you guys are ready, I'll go ahead and get this show on the road. I told you I'd do this today, so I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Alright. As long as someone other than myself is ready, then I am, too. OK. Here we go. Song of the Year This was a close race. The winner is... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L6ZFhZVOx0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L6ZFhZVOx0[/ame] "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" by Arcade Fire!

Josh42 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Atease's song of the year was better :snobby: Good choice though, Coldplayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Lol, I think it's the same as Pitchfork's. May I ask who came in second, if you still have the data lying around? (All I Need eff tee dubs btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm really sorry, guys. My home Internet is being slower than it usually is, and it's already slow. Anyway, next category. EP of the Year You guys chose... "4 Can Keep a Secret if 3 of Them Are Dead" by Apparatjik! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 lolzapparatjik. Then again I didn't listen to like any EPs this year. I feel like I shouldn't comment on every single award, I'll shut my trap now. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Lol, I think it's the same as Pitchfork's. May I ask who came in second, if you still have the data lying around? The other choice in the runoffs was "Zebra" by Beach House. :nice: OK. Next category. Music Video of the Year It was this one right here. [ame= ] [/ame] Yep. It's "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire!

Megalomania Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Good choice for Song of the Year. :wacky: Surprised Apparatjik won, although I'm fine with it- it's the only EP I listened to this year. :lol: Edit: I still haven't watched that music video. :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Best Debut Album It was a close call in the first round, but it took over in the runoffs. You chose... "Broken Bells" by Broken Bells! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 WAS HURTS SECOND? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 woot! Josh, what song won song of the year for atease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I shouldn't comment on every single award, I'll shut my trap now. ;D Surprised Apparatjik won, although I'm fine with it- it's the only EP I listened to this year. :lol: Yeah, Apparatjik kinda won by default, so... :tongue: Sara, feel free to comment as much as you please. I honestly don't care. WAS HURTS SECOND? Christina, it was the only other option in the runoffs. Of course it was second. :tongue: OK, I'm grouping the next three together. Why? They all have the same winner, and it's pointless to make three separate posts on it. Most Overrated Album + Album Art of the Year + Album of the Year (Canada) If you don't have it figured out by now, here's the memo. The winner for all three of these is... "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hahahaha, okay. :wacky: Yay! :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The similarity so far to Pitchfork is disturbing. Suburbs got most overrated and best on Pitchfork as well, and Sprawl II got best song also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Album of the Year (United States) Given that this was my favorite album of 2010, I'm excited about this one. The winner is... "High Violet" by The National! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Album of the Year (United Kingdom) I was surprised by this, honestly, particularly after reflecting on the results of the 2010 album countdown. I'm not complaining, though. The winner is... "Happiness" by Hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 ^I never even heard of that album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Album of the Year (Rest of Europe) This was another close one, but there was a winner. The winner is... "Go" by Jónsi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Music Event of the Year You guys chose... Glastonbury 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Best Live Act/Tour of the Year We had two great runoff candidates, and one triumphed. The winner is... Arcade Fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I think that is the wrong Suburbs video? Surely the Spike Jonze one won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
