Advantages: Not many

Disadvantages: LOTS

Well, to be honest, i dont really like any awards party. I personally think thy're a waste oftime because the nominations are always commercial because they're the onle cmpanies with money. This mecuy thingy is still much the same except for one difference. They try to be cool. There nominations are always the best known of any genre, so people believe that the mercury is good. In actual fact they know nothing about quality music.

All peices of music out there have something good about them (well most of them). The guys at mercury cant just goto any genre pick the tip of the iceburg and claim they're good. There is a lot more to a genre then jus that, there is a whole culture.

If you like this sort of thing i dont blame you, its commercialising things and a lot of bands have got money this way, which is a good thing. Im just stuck deep undeground and reject the idea of giving bands awards when other bands are out there with no money who are miles better then the bands they pick.

Tom McRae a big superstar? I'm sure he'd be surprised to hear that, as would the small band of us who bought the album.
