  • A very worthy winner and a superb record. Although Radiohead deserved it just as much - four nominations (five for Thom Yorke) and still no win for the greatest band of our time is a joke. Especially when the god-awful Klaxons won it last year. Yuk.

  • These guys(no pun intended!!) are superb,saw them in Vicar street earlier in the year,great live,good fun and Guy Garvey writes the most sublime lyrics,Starlings and One Day like this" have to be up there with the greatest of the last twenty years.Looking forward to them coming to Dublin in October,can`t wait,at last they have got the recognition they truly deserve!
