The only way I can see Flux being on here is that Jay-Z and Kanye stole a beat from him for Watch the Throne. It's not like he hasn't been around for like 5 years or anything

lol Skrillex
|
| |
british hype machine is the fucking worst thing
|
| |
man didn't this country used to run the world?
|
| |
Weird list
|
| |
i thought the English had good taste in music!?
what is this garbage
|
| |
John Peel would have never let this happen
|
| |
self-fulfilling pile of shite award
|
| |
Why are you guys acting like Design the Skyline was nominated?
|
| |
Frank Ocean is probably my favorite up here.
|
| |
A$AP Rocky
Frank Ocean
i'm ok with this.
|
| |
The sheer volume of taste makers who contribute gives it a gravitas that other crystal ball gazers can only envy.
This reminds me of Dani Filth talking about jaws hitting the pentagram-bejeweled floor or however it went
|

It's so stupid. It's nothing to do with prediction. This list decides who will be popular in the next year. It's the only reason Jessie J is big. I'll grant you that James Blake was on last year's list, but for the most part this is just:
industry says person x will be big
people read that person x will be big
people listen to person x
person x becomes big
on repeat

"i thought the English had good taste in music!?"
yep the english have objectively good taste in music. its insane actually, you can observe this phenomenon when people who like nickelback become english citizens. as soon as the document is official, they become massive radiohead fans
|
| |
hmmmm...frank ocean? check.
and that raps things up here.
|
| |

Fuck me, I lost it
|
| |
List is ok. A$AP, Frank Ocean, Lianne La Havas, Flux are all good. I bet a few of the others are, just haven't heard of them.
Skrillex is shit, though he prob will blow up in the UK next year which is depressing. But yea, these awards are a load of shit really
|
| |
The UK won't let him explode, don't worry about that
|
| |
I'd be a proud man if we stood up against Skrillex but I don't have as much faith in us as you do 
|
| |
Well seeing as the majority of the uk bass fans resent brostep with a passion, I don't think you're going to have anything to worry about
|
| |
Most guys I've spoken to here up until now (who aren't usually exposed to dubstep) fucking hate Skrillex, but enjoy James Blake, so I have a little bit of faith left.
|
| |
i dont hate skrillex i think people hate on the idea of him more than his music tbh
not saying hes great just saying hes really not as bad as people make him out to be
|
| |
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, but having 6 remixes of 1 song is a little OTT, and it's just a shame if the main mass-media exposure the British public have to dubstep is him.
|
| |
they've had james blake and ellie goulding so they're not entirely pathetic
|
| |
Listen to Lianne La Havas and Dry The River before completely trashing the list, really really good stuff.
|
| |
John Peel would have never let this happen [2]

True, but it's all the kids who'll latch onto this that will get my goat. Oh well, I'll just be all smug knowing that I have better music taste than them : )
|
| |
It's the chavs you gotta worry about...
|
| |
i'm british and hate this list, bbc take your god damn annual poll and shove it
|
| |
wow
|
| |
Frank Ocean is the only good act on this list. I hate my country. Good job I'm to clever to listen to the BBC's bullshit.
|
| |
This list is bullshit every year. I'm unbelievably fed up with it.
Having said that, i enjoy skrillex. And he probably WILL blow up. He already has relatively high play on radio 1.
|
| |
Too bad you're not clever enough to spell 'too' correctly though
|
| |
My favourite quote about this award says that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy and it's not like the people who made this list went on MySpace to hunt down and hype up "some kid with a triangle".
|
| |
It's the only reason Jessie J is big.
Totally true, I'm sure the fact that she went to the BRITs school, wrote 'Party in the USA' for Miley Cyrus and had the backing of Universal/Lava Records had nothing to do with it.
|
| |
List's awful, worst yet.
The only good artists here are already fairly established.
|
| |
Lianne La Havas is definitely worthy.
|
| |
Lol Skrillex [2]
|
| |
Standard shithouse BBC list. Blowing it, annually.
|

Gotta agree with qwe3 here. Sure, there probably are a few people who genuinely hate the guy, but I think you'll find, for the most part, they just hate the fact that when the general public hear the word "dubstep" the first thing they'll think of is Skrillex, Excision etc. But that's a 2-sided coin as well - it's become pretty apparent that the UK scene wants absolutely nothing to do with the US scene and probably doesn't want any of them getting involved in something that's become almost personal for them (the music, not an inherent grudge or anything) so I think they've resigned themselves to the belief that brostep is here, so you do your thing but just stay the fuck away from our scene

Well said pal
|
| |

Anzacs unite and all that
