  1. It's obviously escaped their notice that Florence & the Machine is no more a band than Pixie Lott is. It's kind of disappointing how unsurprised I am by this list, but I guess that's the nature of being so damn clued in ;-)

  2. That's ridiculous.... Very shocked at the nominees. Its basically U2, Bell X1, Snow Patrol and The Coronas. Seemingly no new acts getting in there
