These 10 albums are nominated for a special award for Best British Album of the past 30 years. Which do you think should win?

Shaun

Really perplexed by some of the nominees - Duffy is a total joke, I've never heard of Sade, and Keane and Travis!? You can tell this was selected by Radio 2 listeners...

but Oasis, Coldplay or the Verve to win.

I'd go with the Verve.....

wouldn't mind Oasis getting it and Coldplay's A rush....is the only one of their albums i like....

Good point....

Shaun
19-01-2010, 01:42 PM
yeah I sometimes forget Dido's British, I think it's because of how American the 'Thank You' video looks, plus the Eminem collaboration.

Iceman
19-01-2010, 01:43 PM
Yeah I agree Shaun....i dont really know many of her songs only the collaboration with Eminem and maybe 1-2 more......did she have many?

You haven't heard of Keane or Travis; or am I reading that wrongly? I thought both of those albums were outstanding... Voting for Keane.

Shaun
19-01-2010, 01:50 PM
off the top of my head:
White Flag, Thank You, Here With Me, Sand In My Shoes, Stan...that's it

Iceman
19-01-2010, 01:51 PM
Oh right cheers....i know 4 of them lol......

I meant I wouldn't cite either of them as worthy of 'the best album in the past 30 years'. I like Keane's album...but it's just good. Not great.

I do think it's a bit ridiculous that it extends as far back as 30 years ago; but I think all of the albums on that list are (from what I know of them) fantastic.

These albums were handpicked from the last thirty years?

That's appalling, even for the BRIT awards.

Shaun
19-01-2010, 02:14 PM
Apparently so, by BBC Radio 2 listeners.

I think I'd go for Coldplay ... likewise though, I'm sure there could've been better choices ... who/what is/are Sade?

I have never heard of Dire Straits?

Stu

THIRTY YEARS worth of albums and this is what they come up with? Not denying some classics on that list [Oasis] but a lot of it is the same old white kid indie snobbery we saw penetrating those god awful best of decade lists.

keane r revolutionary lol

**** off.

You might recognise a few of their tunes, Brothers In Arms and Money for Nothing

Got to be Coldplay or Oasis, really.
Duffy though, seriously!?

No Take That *rolls eyes* It is a bit of a rubbish list. My fav would be Keane.

Take that are not worthy enough of being on the same list as Dido and Phil Collins

Shaun

lmfao @ Duffy having 2 votes. jesus.

They should at least have been around over like 7 years or something to make it on the list. Where is The Queen Is Dead?

All of those albums suck, bar Travis. That's actually a really good album. So many classics.

if anything, the one that sucks hardest is Travis...mind-numbing foot-tapping nonsense.

Oasis', Coldplay's and The Verve's albums certainly do not suck.

Verve or Oasis

27-01-2010, 07:35 PM
I looked the list and thought ??? just as everyone else but after thinking it over and it made sense with the 10 albums the brits have chosen..and why

The albums are 10 past winners..of a particular years...so they cant have oasis and then blur from the same year as that wouldnt be fair......so they have been spread and im sure won by votes within the brit camp I feel

Ive brought at the time 6 of the 10 albums listed as when released.

I thought oasis when it came out when I was taking drugs at 20 yrs old was a clear winner...but now you couldnt let that win for pure original art and lyrics as it wasnt blueprint.

When oasis came out dire straits brothers in arms was well out of fashion...but now it is a clear winner and original and blue print.

side one ....was about life.,, working, problems , worry, *****s for cash

side 2...ride across the river...war...re written history with armys and crooks

its seems so relavent of our modern times 25 yrs after its release.

listen to it and dont let dido or travis win
