Q Magazine, who informed us that Jimi Hendrix was overrated, have made their 2013 awards. Most notable of the nominees to 'fail' was David Bowie, nominated in a number of categories. Other 'failures' include Kraftwerk, The Rolling Stones and Daft Punk. Who are Vampire Weekend? They are the best act in the world, that's who! Who is Ellie Goulding? Answer = the best solo artist. Chrissie Hynde, who seemed to make a career from covers is a classic songwriter. Robbie Williams is an idol. I cannot help feeling that if a real musician won a Q award, they would have to ask themselves what they were doing wrong.
The main list of winners is as follows:
Best Solo Artist - Ellie Goulding
Best Act In The World Today - Vampire Weekend
Best Album - Biffy Clyro, Opposites
Best Live Act - Foals
Best New Act - Jake Bugg
Best Track - Arctic Monkeys, Do I Wanna Know?
Best Video - Manic Street Preachers, Show Me The Wonder
Best Event - Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts
Idol Award - Robbie Williams
Icon Award - Suede
Classic Songwriter - Chrissie Hynde
Outstanding Contribution to Music - Pet Shop Boys
Apologies if there are any fans of these artists/bands, but it is difficult to forgive magazines like Q who put down real musicians and trumpet 'celebrities'.
