Question:
With our beloved Kula Shaker winning this award back in the halycon days of 1997 I thought why not discuss this years crop, see how they compare?

I think I'll be voting for The Magic Numbers, though its a close call between them and the Kaiser Chiefs.

Choices:
Arctic Monkeys
James Blunt
Kaiser Chiefs
KT Tunstall
The Magic Numbers

Hate Arctic Monkeys
Hate hate HATE James Blunt
Never really rated Kaiser Chiefs, it was all done better 10 years ago
KT Tunstall I was interested in until I saw her live, she was crap
Magic Numbers - good band, good songs, their popularity isn't based on image or hype. Gotta be the Magic Numbers!

Kaisers all the way, though I would have children with KT Tunstall, we both have cool boots.

Thought it was British Breakthrough Act? TMN are American aren't they?

Has to be the kaiser chiefs, purely as a protest against overhyping of the arctic monkeys, plus I've only heard one track by them and I haven't listened to their album yet.

So yeah, kaiser chiefs it is.

Nah! They grew up in Ealing, though the Stodart half of the band (Romeo & Angela) were born in Trinidad and Tobago!

I must admit when I first heard James Blunt I thought he was American, turns out he's not! Smiler

kaisers for me.....cool name, very entertaining album, they're generally quite funny and they put on a very good show live!...although magic numbers album is very nice too, but i think all that hair puts me off.

Uh, 25 years ago perhaps (they seem to be slighty fond of/influenced by The Jam IMHO)

Anyway; none of the above

*Ed1909 is sounding like his parents* Eeker
