I agree with your sentiments about originality, Zealster. With the sh*te that is coming out today, most of my CD buys over the weekend now are the remastered, repackaged oldies.

 

The best gigs I have been to have always been rock. ands that "make show" (to quote the Hamburg audience in the early '60's). No disrespect to Oasis et al but I've had enough of people singing about their agnst, I wanna be entertained!!!

I don't think Oasis do angst, unless Noel Gallagher is singing the song!

Oi Zeal! You couldn't save that spare Duran Duran ticket for me if your wife doesn't want to go. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Right. The Darkness, who I have a soft spot for, did deserve best breakthrough artist, they did not deserve best band, any regular reader of this forum would know who I would award it to!

 

The male and female solo acts were really a limited choice. The best in the Male category was Badly Drawn Boy, but he hasn't done a great deal. As for the female section, oh for the days when PJ Harvey was nominated... Also I was pleased to see that Beck was nominated for best international male solo act, I knew he was never going to win it though, I think he may have before though, maybe once he'd done Odelay (an album you should all own).

 

On the best album, how could Dido and Beddingfield warrant a place there? Think Tank was really the better album, though of the bunch I am content that the Darkness won it, it could have been a lot worse.

 

Muse were superb by the way and Absolution isn't a bad album once you get your ears around it.

 

All in All, I don't agree with Dr Fox, it wasn't the greatest Brits awards ceremony of all time, and he isn't even a qualified doctor.

For our younger viewers:

 

Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood

 

When the staid old British Record Industry Awards were relaunched as the Brits in 1989, regular host Noel Edmonds was replaced by former Page 3 girl Samantha Fox and Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood. The result was one of the most memorable awards shows - for all the wrong reasons.

 

Fleetwood and Fox fluffed their lines, guests arrived late and a pre-recorded message from Michael Jackson was somehow dropped from the show, even though it under-ran and a Bros video was hastily tacked onto the end of the BBC's broadcast to fill the time.

 

Memorable moments included Fox and Fleetwood introducing the Four Tops, only for Boy George to walk out on stage. "I'm afraid I'm just the one Top," George could only reply.

 

Samantha Fox insisted: "It wasn't my fault. All I had to do was learn my script."

 

Danbert Nobacon

 

After nearly two decades of obscurity, cult Leeds band Chumbawamba hit worldwide fame with their drinking song Tubthumping. Well known for their anarchist views, the group promised to create a fuss at the 1998 awards.

 

After performing their hit, the group's Danbert Nobacon - real name Nigel Hunter - tipped an ice-bucket over Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, who attended the ceremony with his wife Pauline.

 

Prescott, who decided not to press charges when Nobacon was arrested, later admitted he nearly gave him a Tubthumping of his own.

 

Nobacon was unrepentant - and vowed he would do it again if he got the chance.

 

Jarvis Cocker

 

Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker's stage invasion at the 1996 awards may have landed him under arrest, but his record sales soared as a result.

 

Incensed by Michael Jackson making Christ-like poses on stage while performing Earth Song, Cocker jumped up onto the stage with a friend and wiggled his backside at the audience. Jackson's minders swooped - and later the American singer's aides claimed his child dancers had been injured in the resulting fracas.

 

But no charges were brought against Cocker, and sales of Pulp's Different Class album soared.

 

Jackson's performance was also memorable for its introduction from Bob Geldof: "When he sings, it is with the voice of angels. When his feet move, you can see God dancing."
