i don't think they should have best album or track nominations tbh. There have been many far greater in both categories.

Album maybe, track no.

Who do you think will be given artist of the past 25 years? Have to pick Jay-Z he's been consistent from album to album

I think, knowing Q readers, it'll go to Radiohead or Oasis. I hope it's Radiohead though. As much as I like a bit of Jay-Z he's nowhere near as artistic or musically...good...really. It's probably a controversial idea (especially given your avatar LOL) but I don't think hip-hop is on the same artistic level as...music. You can call it poetry all you like but you know it isn't :hmph: it's just...personal. Which is fair enough but not enough I think to call the best of the past 25 years.

The Cure, Nirvana and Madonna (sadly. she's not an artist. at all.) are probably in with a shot too. I think I put 1. Radiohead 2. The Cure 3. Bjork 4. Oasis 5. The Strokes

I dont just like Hip-Hop :tongue: Thats just what ive been listening to most the past year.......I do hope Oasis get it, just to see who claims it Liam or Noel :D

LOL good point. And even though there'll be a load of pissed-off hipsters if Oasis win, they DO kinda deserve it... more than 80% of those nominees anyway. Green Day!?

I dont get the green day love at all. They had 1 great album and 2 good albums.....they astonish me how well they sell and stuff.
