Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

Can't really nominate for a lot of these (generally don't watch music videos and pay no attention to promoters) but I'll fill in what I can.
Best Album Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away
Not gonna nominate a 2 and 3 'cause PTSA stands out as the absolute best for me.
Best Irish Album Only one I listened to was Absolute Zero by Little Green Cars so I guess I'll go with that. It's a pretty hit-and-miss album but a few gems on there. I'm gonna listen to Villagers {Awayland} at some point.
EDIT: Totally forgot about mbv.
Most Disappointing Album Lady Gaga's ARTPOP but I'm guessing that won't count in this forum? :pac: (I am a fan of hers, just didn't like the new album so much.)
Other than that, M.I.A.'s Matangi left me a bit cold.
Best Debut Album A few good ones to mention (Savages, Samaris, Torres) but I'm gonna go with CHVRCHES - The Bones Of What you Believe
Best Song
M.I.A. feat. Susanne Sundfør - Oblivion
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege
Torres- Jealousy and I
Best Album Art Ugh, not much to consider here. Arctic Monkeys AM was kinda cool, I guess. Simple and minimalist but stood out a bit.
Definitely not Yeah Yeah Yeahs anyway! (The album itself was solid imo but what the hell were they thinking with that cover ?!!)
