www.nme.com/news/oasis/24788"Oasis receive Outstanding Brit Award The band will be honured next February Oasis are to be awarded the Outstanding Contribution To Music gong at next year's BRIT Awards. The band will receive the honour on during the ceremony at London's Earls Court venue on February 14. BPI Chairman Peter Jamieson said: "Oasis set the standard for many of the young rock bands who are currently enjoying success in the UK charts. As the BRIT Awards goes live for the first time in nearly two decades, it is appropriate that we should honour one of the most exciting live acts the UK has produced." Previous recipients of the Outstanding Contribution Award include The Beatles, U2, Paul Weller, Tom Jones, Sting, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Eurythmics, The Who. In the past Oasis have picked up BRITs in 1995 for Best British Breakthrough Act, in 1996 for Best British Album for '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?', Best British Group and Best British Video for 'Wonderwall'. The band, who were declared in last year's Guinness Book Of World Records as the Most Successful Act of the Last Decade in the UK have, are due to release their greatest hits collection 'Stop The Clocks' on November 20 along with an EP on the week before. Meanwhile, for the first time in its history the BRIT Awards will feature a live vote for the Best British Single category. Viewers will be able to vote for their favourite of the five shortlisted singles with the winner announced at the end of the show. The nominations for the 27th BRIT Awards will be unveiled at the Hammersmith Palais in London on January 16, 2007. © IPC MEDIA 1996-2006, All rights reserv" was only added to the nme websites five minutes ago....i challenge anyone to post that faster haha

I agree with Glove.
But if they do accept it, are they likely to do that 2/3 song set or whatever the "Outstanding Contribution To Music" winners do?

About time. That will make it exactly 11 years since they last won a Brit. I can even remember when they got their 1st Brit award. It was the year Blur picked up 4 awards and Damon Alburn dedicated the 'Best Band' award to Oasis. God i feel old.............  |
