yay for the suburbs most overrated album

so much Arcade Fire :heart:, except for the overrated part :snobby:

...You mean there are different ones? :confused:

 

At any rate, I was merely using the video to add to the presentation. It doesn't change the fact that the video for the song "The Suburbs" won.

 

Anyway, next one.

 

Music Disaster/Disgrace to Music

 

This one actually ended up in a 2-way tie. Given that this was a 5-way tie before the runoffs, this is much better. Anyway, you guys chose...

 

 

Misusage of Autotune...

 

AND...

 

 

Jedward!

Best Group (Europe + North America)

 

I'm not gonna cut corners with this one.

 

 

Yeah, Arcade Fire is winning. A lot.

Jedward? who are they?

Best Group (Rest of World)

 

There wasn't a lot of feedback on this one, but there is a winner. You chose...

 

 

Tame Impala!

WOO!

Jedward? who are they?

 

I'm not exactly sure, but from what I hear, a lot of people don't like them. Ask one of the Brits on the forum; they're from Britain.

 

Best Solo Artist

 

I received a lot of worthy nominees, but it came down to one person. The winner is...

 

 

Jónsi!

haha Pond (feat members of tame impala) played at the festival i went to on the weekend and I left after one song :wacky:

Best B-Side

 

I have another 2-way tie for this category. You chose...

"An Easy Life" by Broken Bells!

 

(Sorry, I couldn't find a video for the Broken Bells song.)

Best New Band/Artist

 

New music is awesome. You chose one above the rest. The winner is...

 

 

Sleigh Bells!

woot!

 

Josh, what song won song of the year for atease?

 

I'm not 100% sure if this ended up as #1, but it seemed to be pretty much a lock-in. I'll check the thread when atease is back up. Amazing song.

Best Cover (Coldplayer)

 

OK. I've decided to do something slightly different here.

 

You see, like the omitted categories, I got all one-vote nominees for covers. However, 3/4 of those votes went to covers made by one particular Coldplayer. I noticed this, and I wanted to acknowledge this person.

 

With that being said, it is with great pleasure that I give Mike (the_gloaming09) recognition for being Coldplaying's Best Cover Artist. Congratulations, Mike. :smiley:

Best Label

 

I was surprised this actually went through, considering I know virtually nothing about labels. Anyway, the winner is...

 

 

Jagjaguwar!

^^^ah ok... I haven't heard that one before

 

^^awesome! :D :thumbsup:

Biggest Fangirl

 

There were several up for the running, but it all came down to this. The biggest fangirl of Coldplaying is...

 

Tammi (Glacial Fox), for her love for Adam Young and all his projects!

Biggest Fanboy

 

Two guys pretty much took over the first round. They battled it out. Coldplaying's biggest fanboy is...

 

Mike (the_gloaming09), for being a huge Radioheader!

Most Interesting/In-Depth Posts

 

Ohhhhh, snap. It's a tie! Two Coldplayers will have the honor of sharing this award.

 

...

 

Congratulations to Braddock and Briggins!

^^woot! :lol:

 

 

I wonder if the new album release had any influence :thinking:

congrats to coldplayers who won, and the various artists!

Favorite Thread

 

This one almost didn't make the cut. "Almost" being the key word. The winner is...

 

 

The Radiohead Thread!

Best WoM Musician/Artist

 

Yeah, this one pretty much had a clear-cut winner from the beginning. Coldplaying's Best WoM Artist is...

 

Eddie (Italian Plastic, aka Shipwreck)!

Music Master

 

I saved this one for last. This is the award given to the person who best represents the World of Music as a whole. This person knows a great deal about music, and the insight this person gives all of us is invaluable.

 

Coldplaying's Music Master award goes to...

 

Briggins!

woot! Congratulations to all Coldplayers and also bands who won.

 

 

Also more importantly a huge thanks to Violet for putting this all together. Well Done! :D :thumbsup:

Well, honestly, I didn't do a very good job of maintaining organization of all this. It's stuff like that that has caused this ceremony to be held in mid-February when it should've been held in January. :embarrassed:

 

Even if that weren't true, I can't take all the credit. If you guys didn't come through, this wouldn't have happened in the first place. I can only do so much. It couldn't have been done without all of you who placed votes and asked me to post reminders all over the forum.

 

Thank you, though, Mike. I appreciate that. :smiley: All I can do at this point is say that if this should take place again, I shall do a much better job of running it.
