Title: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: Izzy on February 10, 2005, 06:02:22 AM There are people who disagree with my assesment British music is some of the worst in the developed world.

It's true that most of that list is pretty embarassing though.
One thing though. Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division....best British song of the last 25 years? Easily. Best song ever? Maybe. Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: journey on February 10, 2005, 11:25:53 AM I agree with Tj. I think the people in charge are persuaded by popularity rather than quality. They got one thing right though--Keane. They're a great band and deserve to win.

Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Aw Post by: Axls Locomotive on February 10, 2005, 03:25:08 PM ...i think franz ferdinand are one of the best rock bands around, and I like joss stone's soulful voice...but i dont like some of the bands on there...i definitely wouldnt say it was anywhere near the worst in the developed world...can you name some countries that have better music and better bands/singers?...
Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Aw Post by: Izzy on February 10, 2005, 05:45:26 PM i definitely wouldnt say it was anywhere near the worst in the developed world...can you name some countries that have better music and better bands/singers?... Actually yes, but my point was those bands are average or below even in an optimistic light. The Street's? Keane? C'mon. As for Robbie Williams, best song of the last 25 years, well...... Getting the Sun to choose winners from a band selection was always going to be painful..... Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Aw Post by: Doc Emmett Brown on February 10, 2005, 10:02:36 PM ...i think franz ferdinand are one of the best rock bands around, I guess you changed your mind then... you called them bollocks not too long ago. British group: Franz Ferdinand Also nominated: Kasabian, Keane, Muse, Snow Patrol. I like some Muse. They have a lot of fans in LA. As does Snow Patrol for some weird reason :nervous: Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: Ignatius on February 11, 2005, 06:20:51 AM Don't really like Muse but Snow Patrol are good. We have Waits, U2, Green Day, Patrol...the list is not that bad izzo. Maybe if Def Leppard had been included? :P Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: Pryor Murphy on February 11, 2005, 06:31:14 AM Brits 25 best song award: Robbie Williams - Angels Also nominated: Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart, Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights, Queen - We Are Champions, Robbie Williams - Angels, Will Young - Leave Right Now. (Voted for by BBC Radio 2 listeners) Will Young?!? What in the name of GOD, is this clown doing here?? nominated for best song in 25 years? get the fuck out with this shit? Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: fesxine on February 11, 2005, 10:05:23 AM why is Queen's 'we are the champions' nominated and not 'bohemian rhapsody'?
Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: St.heathen on February 11, 2005, 12:10:31 PM I thought this years Brits were somewhat a step in the right direction. Let's face it's always going to be a bit naff. Because they rewards success over talent. But at least bands like Franz, Keane , Snow patrol, kasabian, PJ harvey was in there too.
Now i'm not a fan of these bands - I don't mind a couple of their songs. But i'm not really excited by them. But at least they write their own stuff and are out there doing it live ect. Even if you or i don't particuarly like them. It is a better direction than Girls aloud/spice girls/westlife bollocks. At least they seem to be moving away from that horrible fake rubbish side of music. Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: Dave_Rose on February 11, 2005, 12:46:54 PM why is Queen's 'we are the champions' nominated and not 'bohemian rhapsody'? Cos they were released in the late 70's I think we are the champions was late 70's too Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: Sakib on February 11, 2005, 12:49:40 PM WOT A LOAD OF SHITE! BEST SONG IN 25 yrs???? Def Leppard's Animal or U2-sometimes u cant make it on ur own (if the irish r considered in the Brits)
Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: Izzy on February 11, 2005, 03:20:02 PM Awards = paid advertising. Grammys, Brits, VMA - it's all the same. Indeed, i'm glad i'm not the only one who see's through their charade. Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Awards Post by: Izzy on February 11, 2005, 03:29:42 PM Don't really like Muse but Snow Patrol are good. We have Waits, U2, Green Day, Patrol...the list is not that bad izzo. Maybe if Def Leppard had been included?? ?:P Lol - Green day and U2 aren't British acts though are they? U see my point? This was a thread about the frankly dire state of British music. Title: Re: Robbbie Williams 'Angels' best UK song of last 25 years according to Brit Aw Post by: Axls Locomotive on February 11, 2005, 04:04:21 PM i definitely wouldnt say it was anywhere near the worst in the developed world...can you name some countries that have better music and better bands/singers?... Actually yes, but my point was those bands are average or below even in an optimistic light. The Street's? Keane? C'mon. As for Robbie Williams, best song of the last 25 years, well...... Getting the Sun to choose winners from a band selection was always going to be painful..... well if the answer is yes then go ahead then, name some countries...i challenge you streets, well yea, they are bollocks for sure, keane are pretty good, snow patrol are excellent... as for angel, yes the song appeals to many people for many reasons and its the popularity that played a part in winning that song an award..i think its a good song, not my choice but obviously the choice for many people...its not just because of popularity that a song does well, people have to like it too ...but how would you judge the awards?, people choice, or polls, or some suited fat arses choosing whats popular or some pretentious over artistic pricks choosing them?...we all have different opinions, and if you put 20 people in a room to choose the awards and another 20 in another separate room, the choices will probably be quite different...these awards are nothing but an amalgamation of people individual choices...popularity is democracy so get used to it. Quote I guess you changed your mind then... you called them bollocks not too long ago. damn!!!! you remembered that hahaha...i had only listened to one song and no videos when i made those comments...i admit i was wrong, they won me over...the album is fantastic, go out and buy it!
