[FleetFanatic]

Nothing wrong with Simply Red.

 

Not so sure about that 'best' single though.....

[David Holden]

Nothing wrong in voting for Annie Lennox <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Northern Monkey]

That list is not so bad when you compare it to the year when Tracey Ullman won best female, I ask you.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Here's a little quiz - NO CHEATING!!!!

 

Which band won best group and best album in the Brit's 1st year which was 1977?

 

And Simply Red are rubbish!

Nothing wrong with Simply Red? Don Henley's stuff is really quite good??

I'm a little worried for you, Super Daz. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

There is ton's wrong with Simply Red - They are dull MOR annoying crap fronted by the biggest [****!!****] in music.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I agree. And as for your quiz...

 

Well, tempting as it is to say The Sex Pistols, I won't.

 

1977. So presumably both group and album were big in 1976?

 

Hmmm... Abba? Are they British??

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

They were British.

Although I'm pretty sure they didn't release anything in 1977

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I'm trying to think who released a big album in 1976, and my mind's going completely blank.

 

Prog-rock band??

 

 

[MK James]

 

Something wrong with miss Ullman then cynic...

 

 

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I'm sure she was a great comedienne. Musician? I don't think so. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

 

 

[CANV EFM]

not that it helps .. but david soul was the biggest selling artist in the u.k. in '77 i think

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Shocking!

 

Well, I'm going on the basis that the 2003 Brit Awards went to acts that were big in 2002, so...

 

Number One albums in 1976...

Hmm..

 

Out of that lot, the only British groups (I think) are Queen, Status Quo and Led Zeppelin.

 

Of the three, Led Zeppelin, but probably someone else completely different!!

 

 

[Rob_the_Saint]

Queen? No, not you CANV, the Brit Award winners in 1977.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

You'll never get it.

 

They hadn't released anything in the 70's at all as far as I'm aware!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Who then??

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

The best band was The Beatles and best album was Sgt Peppers!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Weird!

 

Actually, they re-released a load of singles in 1976, and probably their albums too, but even so.
