Eagles of Death Metal up for International Group?! Fuck off! It was a tragedy what happened in the Bataclan, but theres a fine line between paying tribute, and then just milking something. Having the band that were playing that night up for Internation group seems abit crass to me tbh Could not agree more. Forget the predictable nominations and industry members club back-slapping which the Brits always is, that just goes without saying. But nominating EDM goes someway beyond that and into the territory of crass emotional exploitation. I'd hope the band refuse their invitation which is there purely for a bit of tragedy porn, perhaps so the producers can make a little video montage of those awful events and feel like winners of the mourning competition, or perhaps so they can think they're paying some sort of heartfelt tribute to the victims by recognising the band unlucky enough to be caught up in it all. Or probably both. The only question to be asked of the judges is, would they have nominated EDM if Paris hadn't have happened? Would they hell have. |

I completely agree with everything you said, Elias. |

Holy fuck, what a terrible list! U2 is the only shining light in an otherwise murky sea of shite. What about Bjork and Laura Marling? |
