Yeah I think seeing/hearing the album live is going to have some influence. Does this strengthen it's contention for the #1 slot?

Righto, chuck me in

Saw that. Seems an unusually long time away. They have it finished already.

My thoughts. Well I haven't heard the album to be honest. Apart from their top single, 'Jet Plane', which is unmistakably breathtaking. I hate to admit, but since the ARIA awards were mostly dominated by indie or alternative artists, they could have in fact awarded both of the top prizes to a deserved winner. More facts: - Australian #1 album (None of the others nominated got to #1 on the charts [sidenote: I hate the charts]) - Their sophomore release (all other albums nominated are debuts) Come forth, those have listened to it. Place forth your arguments.

Let's go in alphabetical order and firstly discuss the reasons for crowning #1 album to: Angus & Julia Stone "Down The Way"

COLDPLAYING 2010 AUSSIE ALBUM NOMINATIONS: Angus & Julia Stone's "Down The Way" Cloud Control's "Bliss Release" The Holidays' "Post Paradise" Miami Horror's "Illumination" Seabellies' "By Limbo Lake" Tame Impala's "Innerspeaker" We can argue why each album should win. Give everyone a chance to pout forth their opinion. Then once we have given every album nominated a discussion, a vote shall be conducted ranking each album 1-6. Album with the lowest score wins. (Bit like golf....)

Same opinion as I had. Great except for those bimbos

Video's out. SHIT I LIKE THIS SONG WAY MORE NOW. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfdYY1Iundo]YouTube - Beady Eye 'Bring The Light'[/ame] It's the vibe.

I'm going to argue Miami Horror until the cows come home so it needs to be included! Same thoughts with the cloud control thing. VW night one, thought they were OK. Night 2, LOVED them. It's a top album. As for the Angus and Julia Stone thing, meh... just not my type of music. Neither WASHINGTON I refuse to listen to her album... But we need people with different tastes on this panel!!

Well for a start, I haven't heard ANY Angus & Julia Stone. No kidding.

Ah, righty then. My top 3 Aussie albums of 2010: 1. Miami Horror - Illumination 2. Cloud Control - Bliss Release 3. The Holidays - Post Paradise

Exactly when I heard it! It was on triple J, around 7:30. Tune! Based on the radio and G.O.O.D Fridays, I have practically heard half the album anyway

Wow, Hell Of A Life is twisted brilliance!

I don't think I have decided on my top 3 yet, but fair enough. It will probably make it quicker

Ok. And an album can't be nominated more than once. So we should end up with 12 to choose from. Mine: The Holidays - Post Paradise Miami Horror - Illumination Cat Empire - Cinema

I have some additions: Angus & Julia Stone - Down the Way Bag Raiders - Bag Raiders Basement Birds - Basement Birds Birds of Tokyo - Birds of Tokyo The Boat People - Dear Darkly Cabins - Bright Victory Cat Empire - Cinema Children Collide - Theory of Everything Cloud Control - Bliss Release Crowded House - Intriguer Dead Letter Circus - This is the Warning Gypsy & the Cat - Gilgamesh The Holidays - Post Paradise Hungry Kids of Hungary - Escapades John Butler Trio - April Uprising John Steel Singers - Tangalooma Julia Stone - The Memory Machine Little Red - Midnight Remember Miami Horror - Illumination Midnight Juggernauts - The Crystal Axis Operator Please - Gloves Parades - Foriegn Tapes The Paradise Motel - Australian Ghost Story Seabellies - By Limbo Lake Sia - We Are Born Tame Impala - Innerspeaker Washington - I Believe You Liar But solid list!

FUCK YES! Bring on this massiveness. Over two weeks in december, baby... U2, U2, Jack Johnson, Gorillaz & Muse....
